Why go
About Pasticceria Capriccio di Como
Capriccio di Como grew from the training and experience of its founder, master pastry chef Davide Tarzi, who learned the foundations of artisan gelato and pastry in the 1980s. He opened the first shop on Viale Lecco in Como in 1992, and it has become one of the established pastry shops of the Como area.
The kitchen mixes old recipes handed down over the years with the creativity of its pastry chefs. More than thirty people work for the business today, and hotels, restaurants, companies and trade fair organisations between Milan, Como and Lecco order from it, alongside everyday customers who simply stop by the shop for something sweet.
