# Crotto del Sergente Restaurant en Como · Lake Como Fuente: https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/where-to-eat/crotto-del-sergente · Revisado: 2026-11-12 Former osteria in Lora, in the hills of Como, with local cooking, lake fish and more than 200 wines; open every day except Wednesday. A crotto is, in the tradition of Lake Como, a cellar dug into the hillside where wine was kept cool and where, in time, food began to be served. The Crotto del Sergente is in Lora, a hill district east of the city of Como, and prides itself on never having lost its identity as an osteria. It is listed by Slow Cooking, the Locali Storici d'Italia association and Il Golosario, and in 2018 it won the Como episode of the television programme 4 Ristoranti. The cooking The house defines itself in one phrase: cooking and culture of the territory. It works with freshwater fish and the larder of the Brianza, the Valsassina and the lake valleys. On the autumn and winter menu it published in November 2026 there were, as starters, breaded fried egg, lardo with Lora chestnut honey and boiled chestnuts, veal pâté with pear compote or a savoury Brianza sheep strudel. For first courses, handmade trout-filled ravioli with leek cream, pumpkin risotto with Carnaroli rice, for a minimum of two, beetroot gnocchi with blue goat's cheese or wholemeal tagliatelle with white guinea fowl ragù. For main courses, lake fish guazzetto with riso in cagnone, suckling pig porchetta with potatoes or oven-roasted lamb shank. The menu closes with a board of cheeses from the lake valleys and desserts such as the Crotto cream or the reinette apple cake with amaretti. There is a tasting menu of Lombard delicacies, for a minimum of two people. The cellar exceeds 200 labels. The website does not publish prices for the menu or the tasting menu: ask when you book. The house Two small, warm rooms, with simple furniture, stone walls and wine shelves. It is a place for a long, unhurried meal, far from the bustle of the lakefront. Hours, booking and getting there The kitchen is open every day from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 19:00 to 22:00, except Wednesdays, when it closes. Book on its website, by phone on +39 031 283911 or by email. Lora is on the outskirts of Como, in the hills east of the centre and the lake. The website gives no transport directions: by car it is a few minutes, and without a car the practical option is a taxi from the station or the lakefront. Qué pedir: the pumpkin risotto (for two), the trout ravioli or the lake fish guazzetto with riso in cagnone. ## Practical details - Address: Via Crotto del Sergente, 13, Como, CO - Phone: +39 031 283911 - Email: info@crottodelsergente.it - Opening hours: Mon y Tue 12:00–14:00 y 19:00–22:00; Wed closed; Thu–Sun 12:00–14:00 y 19:00–22:00 - Closed on Wednesdays; these are the kitchen hours - Cuisine: Lombard, Larian, lake fish - House specialities: Handmade trout-filled ravioli with leek cream, Lake fish guazzetto with riso in cagnone, Oven-roasted suckling pig porchetta, Lardo with Lora chestnut honey, Crotto cream - Bookings: https://www.crottodelsergente.it/prenota-un-tavolo/ - Details checked on 12 November 2026. ## Cómo llegar y contacto - Web: https://www.crottodelsergente.it/ - Coordenadas: 45.8, 9.1089 ## Cerca de aquí - [Funicular from Como to Brunate and Walk to San Maurizio](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/things-to-do/brunate-funicular), a 2.4 km - [Ostello Bello Como](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/where-to-stay/ostello-bello-como), a 3.0 km - [Seaplane Flight from Como](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/things-to-do/seaplane-flight-over-the-lake), a 3.5 km - [Villa del Balbianello by Boat from Lenno](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/things-to-do/villa-del-balbianello), a 19.8 km - [Lake Como Greenway, from Colonno to Griante](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/things-to-do/lake-como-greenway), a 20.1 km - [Kayak Around the Point of Bellagio from Pescallo](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/things-to-do/bellagio-kayak), a 23.2 km - [Boat Between Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/things-to-do/mid-lake-ferry-triangle), a 23.7 km - [Hotel Florence](https://www.geocalia.com/en/italy/lombardy/lake-como/where-to-stay/hotel-florence), a 24.0 km ## Consejos ### Book on its website The rooms are small. ### Order lake fish The trout and the guazzetto with riso in cagnone are the Larian part of the menu. ### Not on a Wednesday It is the only day it closes. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Which day does the Crotto del Sergente close?
