Beautifully located right on the lake in Moltrasio, Imperialiano is an Italian fine dining restaurant – where those looking for a romantic atmosphere will no doubt be happy with their choice. Between the flickering lights of the surrounding villages, the painting-like reflection on the water, and lush foliage design that Lake Como is known for, you’ll find yourself dining in a white table-clothed semi-outdoor room. From the starters, try the ‘Mussels Marinara Style’ or Imperialiano-style ‘Beef Tartar’ is worth tasting. From the mains, the ‘Truffle Seabass’ is something we wouldn’t miss. Alternatively, opt for one of the two tasting menus to try a little of everything.

Best for: Those who consider dining a form of art.
