Selected entries from the current guide for Como.
Como, Italy
Cetino brings an inventive approach to Como's dining scene, drawing from the lake, the surrounding land, and the sea to shape a menu rooted in ingredient provenance. The kitchen works across three distinct sourcing registers, freshwater, agricultural, and coastal, producing a style that sits between regional tradition and contemporary Italian cooking. For a city better known for its views than its restaurants, Cetino makes a serious culinary case.
Como, Italy
Renzo brings contemporary Italian cooking to Como in an all-day format that suits the town's rhythm of lake visitors, local regulars, and weekend arrivals from Milan. The kitchen works within a broadly Italian framework, using the northern Lombard larder as its reference point rather than reaching for pan-Mediterranean ambiguity. For a city with limited options at the serious mid-range tier, it occupies a practical and considered position.
Como, Italy
On the western shore of Lake Como, The Lido sits within a dining scene that balances lakeside tradition with contemporary Italian ambition. Como's restaurant culture draws on Lombard produce, fresh lake fish, and a tourism economy that rewards quality. The Lido occupies that space where setting and cuisine converge, making it a reference point for visitors orienting themselves around the lake's dining options.

On Piazza Cavour at the edge of Lake Como's waterfront, Palazzo Venezia holds membership in Leading Hotels of the World, a credential that places it in a select tier of independently minded Italian properties.

Como, Italy
Vista Palazzo in Como is an intimate lakeside boutique hotel on Piazza Cavour offering 18 refined rooms, Ristorante Sottovoce dining and tailored local concierge experiences. Guests can choose a Deluxe Double Room with a separate living area and courtyard view, relax with Vista’s wellness concept inspired by the “ancient well of Romeo,” and step directly onto the Como lakefront and ferry docks. The property presents mindful luxury from the Passera family’s LarioHotels, pairing local ingredients, wines, and attentive service in a warm, central setting that makes exploring Como’s waterfront effortless.
Como, Italy
A Michelin Selected boutique hotel on the western edge of Como's historic centre, DBH occupies a position in the city's smaller, design-led accommodation tier. The address on Via Maestri Comacini places it within walking distance of the lake and the old town's stone-paved lanes, offering an alternative to the large lakeside resort format that defines much of the Como accommodation market.
Como, Italy
Hilton Lake Como holds the 2025 World Travel Awards title for Italy's Leading Lifestyle Hotel, placing it at the sharper end of the international-brand tier on the lake. The address on Via Borgo Vico positions guests within easy reach of Como's centro storico while retaining the waterfront orientation the lake demands. For travellers weighing a branded property against the area's smaller independent alternatives, the lifestyle designation carries weight.
Como, Italy
MUSA Lago di Como holds three international awards, Regional Winner for Luxury Lakeside Hotel, Global Winner for Luxury Design Boutique Hotel, and Continent Winner for Luxury Brand, placing it among the more decorated small luxury properties on the lake. Located in Sala Comacina on Via Statale, it operates in the design-led boutique tier that has redefined Lake Como's upper accommodation market over the past decade.
Como, Italy
Villa Gina sits within the Como property tier that draws guests seeking the lake's quieter residential character over the city-centre corridor. With limited publicly available data, the property invites direct enquiry, but its position in one of northern Italy's most coveted holiday destinations places it alongside a cohort of small-scale lakeside stays where setting and intimacy define the offer.

Como, Italy
The Lobby Bar occupies a particular position in Como's drinking culture: a hotel-adjacent cocktail space where lake-town elegance meets a considered drinks programme. Light bites extend the occasion without competing with the bar itself. For a city whose evenings tend toward the unhurried, it reads as a credible choice for aperitivo hour or a late-night drink after dinner on the waterfront.
