One of the premier restaurants on Lake Como — the Michelin-starred terrace restaurant of Grand Hotel Tremezzo with unobstructed views across the water to Bellagio, serving contemporary Italian cuisine built on Lombard lake fish traditions and seasonal produce.
Why It Belongs on the List
La Terrazza is Lake Como's Michelin-starred restaurant and the finest dining experience on the lake — a terrace room at Grand Hotel Tremezzo with floor-to-ceiling views to Bellagio and the mountains beyond. The kitchen works with local lake fish (lavarello, tinca, agone), Lombard dairy, and produce from the hotel's kitchen garden. The risotto with lake fish is the reliable order. Non-guests welcome with advance reservation. Book 4–6 weeks ahead in summer. Sunset timing in June–August is the definitive Como dining experience.
