In January 2021, Pier and Lara, inspired by a special lunch with friends, had an idea that led them to found what is their business today: transforming their home into a home restaurant. Pier, a food science graduate, and Lara, with experience in the wedding industry, a wedding planner and a specific passion for art de la table, combined their skills to create a unique gastronomic experience. The combination of Pier's passion for haute cuisine and Lara's skill in presentation led to the birth of Wild Villa Experience.
In 2023, the opportunity to move to the family's beautiful location in Faggeto Lario became a reality. This house overlooking the lake provided an exceptional setting for Pier and Lara's culinary experience. The cuisine at Wild Villa Experience is a celebration of quality and freshness of local ingredients. Pier sources his food almost exclusively from the covered market in Como, carefully selecting high-quality products for his dishes. Lara takes care of the baking, preparing homemade bread, focaccia and cakes to accompany meals.
The menus offered by Wild Villa Experience include four options: meat, fish, lake fish and vegetarian (or vegan, on request). Each dish is masterfully prepared and carefully presented, offering guests an unforgettable gastronomic experience. But most of all, Wild Villa Experience is a place where you feel at home. With fresh flowers always on the tables and a cosy atmosphere, guests are enveloped in a sense of warmth and familiarity.
One of the most popular dishes is the rice in dogfish with fried perch with crispy panko. This dish, the epitome of Pier's haute cuisine, is just one of the many dishes guests can enjoy during their experience at Wild Villa Experience, while also enjoying a breathtaking view of the lake, which adds a privileged setting around the table and the dishes prepared.
Wild Villa Experience is more than just a restaurant: it is a culinary journey through the flavours and traditions of the region, enriched by the love and commitment of its founders.
