Una Finestra Sul Lago is a true haven overlooking Lake Como, nestled in the heart of Carate Urio—one of the most picturesque corners of the lake’s western shore. Founded in 2017 by Glauco Noseda together with brothers Jacopo and Nathan Martignoni, the restaurant was envisioned as a timeless retreat, far removed from the pace of everyday life. Here, the natural beauty of the landscape blends seamlessly with a passion for fine dining, creating a concept that unites gastronomy, style, and hospitality. In just a few years, it has become a destination of choice not only for discerning food lovers, but also for well-known figures from the world of arts and entertainment.
At the head of the kitchen is Chef Ilie Svet, who leads guests on an elegant and surprising culinary journey. His cuisine marries research with tradition, technique with creativity. Every dish tells its own story, showcasing the finest ingredients while celebrating Italian and local flavors with a contemporary vision. Attention to detail, refined presentation, and a perfect balance of flavors make the experience both unique and deeply satisfying.
Adding a distinctive note to the offering are the gourmet pizzas created by Pizza Chef Davide Frittoli. Naturally leavened doughs, left to rise slowly, are paired with refined toppings to elevate pizza into a gastronomic experience—where its popular roots meet a fine-dining sensibility.
The journey is completed by a dynamic and ever-evolving wine list, curated with expertise and passion. From prestigious international Maisons to small, distinctive producers, the selection offers depth, authenticity, and uniqueness. Each pairing is thoughtfully chosen to enhance the flavors of every dish and guide guests on an unforgettable sensory voyage. Una Finestra Sul Lago is more than a restaurant: it is a place of the soul, where cuisine, beauty, and atmosphere come together. With its elegant interiors, curated music, attentive service, and breathtaking views of the lake, every visit becomes a truly unforgettable moment.
