Michelin-starred La Torre restaurant, Executive Chef Giovanni Luca Di Pirro showcases the best of Tuscan ingredients, many sourced from local producers or the estate’s kitchen-garden. La Taverna is situated in the castle’s original 12th-century kitchen. This historic space is now the convivial focal point of the castle, featuring a large open fire during the winter. The restaurant offers informal dining, ideal for families, where paninis and pasta can be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. During the summertime, the Pavilion restaurant offers all-day al fresco dining, with views across the surrounding Chianti countryside. Here, international favourites feature alongside COMO’s signature dishes such as perfectly cooked pizza made in a wood-fired oven.
