Natta Café

Top choice in Como


Atmosphere counts for a lot in this old stone-arched cafe-cum-bistro-cum–wine bar. Add mood lighting, mezzanine tables, and a trance-y music soundtrack to the fast-appearing, simple-but-effective food and you've got a recipe for plenty of repeat visits. The blackboard menu chalks up mint ravioli, fish ragù and a litany of light lunch wraps (€8). There are good veggie options too.
