Set outside Como's pedestrianised core, Enoteca 84 is a snug local restaurant carrying a well-curated list of local wines. It serves a handful of traditional dishes, which might include lavarello (white fish) in butter and sage, polenta with beef and mushrooms, or pappardelle alla lepre (ribbon pasta with hare). Ask about wine pairings as they are unfailingly good.
