Lanterna Verde Lake Como

Lanterna Verde sits on Via Alfonso Oldelli, a five-minute walk from the Como Cathedral. The kitchen holds a Michelin star and focuses on creative, vegan-forward Italian cooking.

This is a more deliberate choice than the casual bistros lining the nearby Lungolago. While the tourist-heavy spots downtown often prioritize volume, Lanterna Verde trades that rush for a fine-dining pace, resulting in a room that runs dressier than its neighbors. The high guest rating—4.82 from 332 reviews—reflects how well the unconventional menu lands with diners who seek an expensive, considered meal away from the waterfront crowds.
