The story
On the shores of Lake Como, in the historic village of Moltrasio, La Veranda offers a taste of Comasco and Larian cuisine within the Hotel Posta. Once a resting place for travelers, the restaurant has become a local reference point for those seeking authentic Italian country cooking in an elegant, welcoming setting.
The restaurant comprises three distinct indoor spaces. The Sala degli Stucchi and the Sala delle Carrozze are decorated in classic Lombard style, with soft, timeless colors and careful attention to detail. The Veranda itself—the namesake room—sits between indoors and out, surrounded by large panoramic windows that can be opened, flooding the space with natural light in every season. In warmer months, the outdoor terrace, shaded by centuries-old linden trees, offers a glimpse of the lake across the road.
At the heart of the kitchen are young, passionate chefs who honor the region's culinary heritage. Their menu features traditional dishes passed down through generations alongside gourmet reinterpretations. The focus remains firmly on quality ingredients and the flavors of Lake Como.
For a lighter moment, the adjacent Cafe Bellini provides a refined setting with lakeside tables, serving coffee, cocktails, homemade pastries, and a long-fermentation pizza.
La Veranda’s commitment to tradition and quality has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, recognizing it as one of the finest dining experiences on the lake. The restaurant is open to hotel guests and external visitors alike, offering a genuine encounter with the tastes and history of the Como area.
