The Story
Ristorante Filo takes its name and its identity from the line that connects it to the lake — the cooking is direct, seasonal, and built around the produce that Lake Como and its surrounding hills provide.
Lake perch, the local pasta, olive oil from the hills above the western shore. This is old-world Italian cooking with the manners of a place that has been doing this for a very long time.
Signature Dishes

Lake perch (persico)
The Como fish — fried or simply pan-cooked, always with local olive oil. Not to be skipped.

Risotto al pomodoro
Not the most complex dish on the menu. Often the best.
The Feeling
Feels like
An Italian lunch that extends into the afternoon without apology.
Best time
Lunch — arrive at 1pm, leave when you're ready
Music
Lake sounds, conversation, the occasional ferry.

The CinCin Notes
Filo is the restaurant for the Lake Como meal that becomes the memory you take home. Order the perch, order a half-bottle of something local, and let the afternoon unfold. This is what the lake is for.
