Como FoodTour 2025
We were a group of five and joined by two parties of two. We had lots of fun chatting and eating our way through Como. All the food was delicious and we never would have found these places on our own. It truly was a delightful adventure for all our party. Grazie mille!

Not great. Few tastings, only one tasting of wine, we didn’t get any pastries or cakes like the pics in the advertisement, guide barely spoke, would answer questions if we asked but didn’t give info about the area unless specifically asked. Not worth the money or the time quite frankly

A very good tour
I have reviewed this tour with the link Viator sent, but I cannot find it on tripadvisor to link to my accout?! My only pre booked event, a 3.5 hour walking and food tour of Como. I chose this tour for two reasons really. Firstly I’m a self diagnosed foodie, and two I wanted to get the most out of my day in Como (and how better than with a local guide!) Starting my tour at the Cathedral we were a small group of just me and a couple from Florida. Our guide lead us first to a wine shop called Bottiglieria Da Gigi, we sat at a table in the shop and were served a glass of wine and accompaniment bread and meats. I had red wine, not realy my thing, the others had white and rose and they siad afterwards that I might have enjoyed the white. I’ve only had wine once before and its not my thing, but then as now its only a small part of the day. The bread and meats were nice. We then went to a pizzaria called Rom’antica Como for a taste of two types of pizza, chosen for us by our guide. As far as I could tell one was tomato sauce, a few big chunks of fresh tomatoes and chili flakes, the other was also tomato sauce, it was completely covered in piles of small cubed tomatoes and anchovies. I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, but the first pizza was delicious! The second I can’t lie was not for me, too many tomatoes and my first (and last) taste of anchovy. Its a no from me. We then walked a little out of the main city to a restaurant called Osteria Dal Pain, where we got a salad and bread starter, then a plate of some form of ham (forgive my ignorance of its name, I can’t say it was enjoyable) some ravioli in cheese (even our guide, who yummed up a plate of it, couldn’t say for sure what was in it, except that it wasn’t meat, but it was tasty) and last were balls of polenta, guessing deep fried, with a cheese core, never had polenta before but this was delicious! More walking brought us to Gellateria Ronchi (I love gelato) We were allowed to get a cone or cup (cup for me) and two scoops of any flavour. They didn’t have my go to pistachio flavour so I had peach and raspberry. We then walked a little way to some seating. The gelato was very nice, the raspberry was sharp so it muffled the peach, but I got more peach when the raspberry was gone. For out last stop, we went to Caffé Maya for a nice coffee, espresso, delicious. We then went our separate ways (inot quite 3.5 hours so it was about an hour before the ferry back to Bellagio so I had a walk along the waterside and I found a gellateria to sate my pistachio hunger 😄) It was a good day out

An excelent day!
I booked this tour for two reasons really. I’m a self diagnosed foodie, and I wanted to get the most out of my day in Como (and how better than with a local guide!) I acually reached Como early, so having a little explore I found an amazing bakery and got a little treat (because of the ferry time I had to skip breakfast at the hotel.) Starting at the Cathedral we were a small group of just me amd a couple from Florida. Our guide Catria (apologies if thats wrong, I didn’t see it anywhere in writing) lead us first to a wine shop called Bottiglieria Da Gigi, we sat at a table in the shop and were served a glass of wine and accompaniment meats. I had red wine, not reappy my thing, I’ve only had wine one nefore. The meats were nice. We then went to a pizzaria called Rom’antica Como for a taste of two types of pizza, as far as I could tell one was tomato sauce, fresh tomatos and chili flakes, the other was coated in piles of tomatoes and anchovies. I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, but the first pizza was delicious! The second I can’t lie was not for me, too many tomatoes and my first (and last) taste of anchovy. Its a no from me. We then walked a little out of the main city to a restaurant called OsteriaDal Pain, where we got a salad and bread starter, then a plate of some form of pork (forgove my ignorance of its name, can’t say ot was enjoyable) some ravioli in cheese (even Catria couldn’t say for sure what was in it, except that it wasn’t meat, but it was tasty) and last balls of polenta, guessing deep friend, with a cheese core, never had polenta but thos was delicious! More walking brought us to Gellateria Ronchi (I love gelato) We were allowed to get a cone or cup (cup for me) and two scoops of any flavour. They didn’t have my go to pistachio flavour so I had peach and raspberry. Very nice, the raspberry was sharp so muffled the peach, but I got more peach when the raspberry was gone. For out last stop Caffé Maya for a nice coffee, espresso, delicious. We then went our separate ways (and before the ferry back to Bellagio I found a gellateria to sate my pistachio hunger 😄) I didn’t get any photos I’m afraid, you’ll just have to go yourself my readers. Trust me its well worth it!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lake Como Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Lake Como Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lake Como Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.
Is Lake Como Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Como Food Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lake Como Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lake Como Food Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lake Como Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lake Como?
+
On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lake Como?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lake Como?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
