Ristorante da Rino

Como


When the (acclaimed) specialities of the house all involve truffles, you know you're onto a good thing. They're all over the menu here, including truffles with tagliolini (thin ribbon pasta), risotto and eggs. And, as this is a detached slice of Tuscany, you can also bank on porcini mushrooms, Florentine steak and Chianto wine.

Vacillating? Try the filetto alla medici – a tender beef fillet steeped in truffles and red wine.
