Why go
About Crotto del Sergente
Crotto del Sergente is a restaurant in Lora, in the hills of Como, built around the traditional cooking of its own corner of Lombardy. The restaurant describes a meeting place that has kept its original identity, and the menu follows through faithfully with polenta, game, lake fish and local cheeses.
Inside there are two dining rooms, kept warm and simple. The kitchen works with regional ingredients and Slow Food products, from chestnut honey to Brianza sheep, and it pairs them with a cellar of more than 200 labels. The menu changes with the seasons, with a tasting menu for two or more guests.
