Como


Set in a quiet side-street, this self-styled bottega con ristoro (wine shop with refreshments) serves a quality short menu featuring excellent cold cuts of sweet Chianina beef, tuna and wild boar, soft Taleggio and traditional mains like rabbit and roast potatoes. Ask your server for a wine pairing – their choices are spot on. Its Facebook page has information on tasting events.
