Why go
About Ristorante Crìanza
Crìanza grew out of a love for the food of Puglia: simple, honest ingredients, and recipes tied to memories of the family's home region. The aim is to bring that spirit to Como, so lunch or dinner feels like a trip through Mediterranean flavours.
The kitchen keeps the classics of Apulian cooking but gives them a lighter, modern touch. The menu follows the seasons, and many of the raw ingredients arrive straight from Puglia, chosen with care every day to keep the cooking authentic.
