This is hands down the Numero Uno Ristorante in Como. Each time we have been to Lo Storico, Mary and Nic, have been gracious hosts to us. The food is fresh and delicious. They have numerous freshly prepared seafood dishes to select from. This was our third visit to Lo Storico and we thrilled to see that the quality of the food, the service, supreme and the ambiance with the music and stunning decor enveloping the expectations of dining in Italy. Bravo Mary & Nic!!! Salute!!

After a nice afternoon strolling through Como we arrived with our dog for a lovely dinner. From the moment we arrived the service was friendly and attentive – and they made sure to take care of our pup as well. The food is delicious and we can’t wait to visit again. This place specialises in seafood and evert dish was delicious. Thank you for taking such good care of us. Grazie Mille!

We had a fantastic experience at Lo Storico. This place serves high end seafood of various varieties and they’re all fantastic. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order. We had the triptych tartare to start, which was a refreshing appetizer. I ordered a special which was a pasta either lobster. We also got the ravioli with prawns as well as the roasted octopus. The octopus especially was fantastic, having a soft texture and delicious taste. The service was top notch, with the servers explaining everything as they brought them.

We were recommended this little gem by our concierge because it’s where locals would go – tick!
We were warmly welcomed to a beautiful table and we were the dazzled with the most incredible, perfect Italian dishes – this is why we keep coming back to Italy. Bruschetta, a surprise crispy prawn dish we didn’t even order but I guess was a very generous amuse bouche, a main of fish sides of potatoes salad and tomato salsa and a Pinot Grigio that paired perfectly. We were not going to leave this venue without dessert.
Such a beautiful, warm service with spectacular an Italian seafood-based food. Highly recommend this little find to anyone wanting something simply Italian.

It was a nice dinner, and service is very good I would recommend the fish soup (secondi) and the fried prawn (starter). Pastas were good, especially the ravioli, but I think their flavor is a bit bland, can improve on this. And if they could clean the inside of the sea urchin before serving, it was a bit too much sea water flavor.

we had a great night there. The setting is special but I guess that what makes the place, beside the food. A glass of champaign to start is on the house and makes ordering that much more delightful. the food is great, and compared to other restaurants it is not much more expensive, but the portions are a bit bigger. We had octopus and clams as starters, both great and as main the seafood pasta and the fish soup – again delicious!
Place, food and service 5* we will go again should we stay in Como!

I happened upon Lo Storico by accident while walking the streets in Como. It’s an amazing restaurant in a beautiful outdoor setting. The food was outstanding as was the service. I highly recommend.

Best food I have had in Como. A true fine dining experience with incredible service that I will remember for a long time to come. Nicola, the chef is a true artist. We went into it not knowing how upscale it would be, so we were pleasantly surprised when greeted with what felt like true Italian culture and experience. If you take the time to ask the staff about the food you will quickly find the chef at your table chatting it up. Small, quaint atmosphere with well appointed features and expansive wine selection. You will leave with a full belly, happy memories and a place that no matter where you are from feels like home.
