Filo Restaurant, Lezzeno: Michelin-Recommended Italian Contemporary on Lake Como

On the veranda at Filario

Ristorante Filo sits on the lake-facing veranda of Filario Hotel & Residences, a setting that matches the refinement of what’s on the plate. The restaurant is open to hotel guests and outside visitors, offering lunch under the shade and dinner under the stars. The menu weaves together seasonal ingredients, regional traditions, and the lively spirit of Mediterranean cooking. It’s a straightforward Italian Contemporary approach, available à la carte or through tasting menus.

Chef and kitchen brigade

The restaurant’s evolution took a decisive turn in 2017, when a young team led by Chef Alessandro Parisi arrived. Parisi’s cooking is built on a deep knowledge of ingredients, allowing him to explore flavors while staying rooted in Italian cuisine. The result is a style that feels contemporary without losing its essence. Sommelier Luciano Gusmeroli curates the wine list, each selection chosen to lift the aromas and flavors of the dishes.

Michelin Recommended

Filo’s commitment to quality earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026. The recognition reflects the kitchen’s focus on harmony and balance—a sensory exploration that doesn’t shout but quietly satisfies. Whether you come for a shaded lunch or a starlit dinner, the food here speaks for itself.
