Lake Como: Food Walking Tour

3. Lake Como: Food Walking Tour

Meet your friendly guide in Piazza Duomo and then set out on a food-lovers walking tour through the charming streets of Como. The tour takes you to a number of historic eateries, modern cafes, and trendy restaurants where you can sample the true gastronomic wonders of this city. During the tour, get a sense of authentic life in Como while mingling with the locals and listening to stories about the city’s history and culinary culture. Start the day off right with a traditional lunch in a historical wine shop. Settle in for a chop-board of high-quality cured meats and a lovely glass of local wine.  Head then for some gourmet pizza, because you can't miss this pillar of Italian street food while in Como. In a delicious, historical bakery, snack on a slice of pizza like the locals do — while walking.  Continue the walking tour with a stop for a polenta dish, the queen of the table in the Como area as well as in the whole Alpine region. Polenta here is produced by mixing corn and buckwheat flour, and is served with braised meat or cheese and melted butter. In Valtellina dialect "sciat" means toad, but this delicacy is actually a delicious and crunchy pancakes with a cheesy center. Sample a sciat and then the delicious Nuvola cake, translating literally to "cloud." While the shape resembles that of a large plumcake, the texture is something halfway between panettone and pandoro, but much softer — precisely like a cloud — and it is filled with apricot jam. Alternatively, you can enjoy a delicious ice cream while walking along the romantic lakeside promenade. Conclude the tour with a coffee, because any respectable Italian lunch can only end with a tasty espresso.

Highly recommend! We had a great time and the views are SO beautiful. Boat was easy to drive and use. Only hiccup was not realizing food is not allowed on board the boat, so make sure to note that. Otherwise, it was lovely and the staff was very friendly, helpful, & went above and beyond with recommendations while in Como.

What an amazing experience to have your own private cruise on Lake Como. Being able to drive the boat yourself is a very special experience. Peter was a great host who explained everything and made it all easy to understand.

Amazing experience! Lovely guide and very knowledgeable. Gave us some amazing tips and also ate some brilliant food!!

A good way to get a first impression of Como and to get to know the kitchen and nice restaurants of Como.

Great way to discover Lake Como with your family. The boat is very nice. Many thanks to Peter!
