Located in the Cardinal’s Building, the fine-dining Veranda restaurant offers glorious views of the lake, gardens and Mosaic. The retractable windows remain open throughout the summer and, weather permitting, diners can savour dinner on the lakeside terrace.

The splendid location of the private park and Lake Como would be enough to make the Veranda restaurant a unique place to taste the flavours of the Italian tradition. If then these flavours are prepared with refinement and sophistication and are based on the best raw materials from the sea, the lake and the land, then the experience at the Veranda truly becomes indispensable.
