With the introduction of Head Chef Michele Tamburrino since 2017, Villa Làrio has created a dining destination on the lake drawing on Michele’s local expertise. From a young age, Michele has developed an authentic passion for cooking and his ability to create and enhance dishes with aromas, flavours and colours of the Mediterranean has stemmed from this. From fish freshly sourced from Lake Como itself (and the nearby Mediterranean) and tomatoes picked fresh from the gardens to the art of making homemade pasta and olive oil tasting, the restaurant promises a culinary experience – whether a guest of the hotel or simply a visitor joining for lunch or dinner.

Visitors and guests will also be invited to enjoy cooking classes led by Michele where they can learn some of the many secrets unique to the Italian cuisine.
