Il Ristorante di Paolo | Menaggio

Vecchia | Varenna
You can’t get closer to Lake Como than these 15 or so tables set on a terrace suspended over the water. Which means you can dine on lake fish, duck breast in espresso reduction or little gnocchi cooked in goat cheese, cream and truffle oil while gazing over towards Como’s western shore.

Al Veluu | Tremezzo
Situated on a steep hillside with panoramic lake views from its terrace, this excellent restaurant serves up home-cooked dishes that are prepared with great pride. They also reflect Lake Como’s seasonal produce, so expect wild asparagus and polenta in spring.

Enoteca Cava Turacciolo | Bellagio
A contender for Bellagio’s most charming address, this cosy wine bar occupies a candlelit, stonewalled space tucked down a lane near the waterfront. The encyclopedic wine list covers every region in Italy, and there’s excellent charcuterie and cheese boards on offer – as well as a few pasta and fish plates.

Bar Il Molo | Varenna
The tiny terrace of Bar Il Molo is Varenna’s most sought-after aperitivi spot, although the cocktails sometimes morph into huge pitchers of beer. It’s raised above the water with cracking views north right up the lake and there’s live music in the summer.

Il Gabbiano | Menaggio
The lakeside terrace here provides some of the most expansive views of Como’s glittering waters. Set 300m northeast of Menaggio’s cute cobblestone center, it’s the perfect spot to order gelato or a glass of wine and sit back to enjoy the laid-back vibe.

Bar Rossi | Bellagio
Dating from 1905 and with original walnut wood furnishings, this classic Art Nouveau-style café has the polished, sophisticated air of a bar fit for the cast of Mad Men. Revel in the elegant interior or take a seat outside under the arches and watch the ferries come and go.

Fresco Cocktail Shop | Como

Wooden ceiling beams and stone walls combine successfully with clean contemporary lines for an interior that’s as fresh as the bar’s name.

Lopez Vintage | Via Vitani 32, Como
On one of Como’s most atmospheric streets, Lopez Vintage lures you in with its whimsical window displays.

Prices can be high, but you’ll discover unique outfits, hats, and jewelry you won’t find elsewhere.

A Picci | Via Vittorio Emanuele II 54, Como

Bush) and Democrat presidents (Bill Clinton), and Microsoft mogul Bill Gates, among others.
