Authentic Italian food with a twist

First and foremost; the food was excellent! Traditional dishes with a twist and a focus on the grain used in the dishes. The owners were passionated and told us about the local ingredients used

Bella scoperta

Bel locale con dei tavolini sulla via, in una zona tranquilla.
Cibo buonissimo e molto ricercato, tutto prodotto dal locale stesso.
Bellissimo anche chiacchierare con i proprietari, spero di tornarci presto.

Pros: Qualità del cibo, Gestori, Posizione

One off experience

Lovely people and a unique concept. I learned a lot and tried things I will never find anywhere else. The lasagna especially was exceptional.

Wish I could return and try more of the menu.

Pros: Highly original

Thanks for the kind words. The most important thing for us is to make people understand that you can eat well not only using quality raw materials but above all creating tasty dishes with what nature provides us, LEGUMES, SEASONAL VEGETABLES, CEREALS AND PASSION !!!

Great time

We had a great time there with very good vegan food. Almost everything like bread seems to be homemade and biological. Wish I could come more often!

Tasty but too greasy

Cozy place with a very unique menu highlighting all sorts of ancient and uncommon grains. The menu is basically bread in various forms (e.g. flatbread, hamburgers, sandwiches, pastries). The couple that runs the place is very kind and provided us with exceptional service.
The food was very tasty but extremely greasy/oily, which I don’t love. We had their pizza (which was more of a thick flat bread with some tomato sauce on top), their savory pie (some bready triangles covered in a rich cashew sauce), their baked vegetables (very flavorful but swimming in oil), and two of their deserts (the chocolate cake was nice but unremarkable while the chestnut torte was flavorless).

Overall, I’m glad I tried their food but would not necessarily return.

Pros: Friendly service , Unique concept

Cons: Greasy food, Menu lacked non bready options

Dearest Tammy,
thank you for spending time in our little bistrot. We certainly put passion into what we do and offer. I would just like to point out a few things concerning the menu and the products you tasted. Ours is not a bread-based menu. Our products are based on Mediterranean cuisine, therefore sustainable, seasonal products, ancient grains, legumes, extra virgin olive oil (cultivar: leccino). We only use Italian dried fruit, namely hazelnuts from the Langhe and Sicilian almonds. The béchamel is prepared exclusively with almond milk from Valdibella (neither cashews nor macadamia). We do not use refined sugars but only maple, rice malt, Panela and Rice Amasake (slow release sugars). We also offer Falafel, Farinata, Lasagna, Parmigiana and much more.
We make bread only with dynamized water, wholemeal flour and sourdough. Pizza, savory pie, bread sticks, taralli and other products are not produced in the same way. Each of them has two to three days of leavening. The pizza is not low, it is as it should be, digestible! the same thing is said for the tomato. It's called siccagno! Not acid ! Sweets are just sweet. Not fake creams that nature doesn't provide us, not fake chocolate but only that of Modica I could go on but the truth is that perhaps you were expecting something much more Standard... Unfortunately we are not able to serve dishes created for the masses. I hope she could have recovered from the gastronomic disappointment in some other vegan restaurant.

Wonderful vegan food!

We wanted to make it to Le Golose Imperfezioni at least once during our stay in Como, and I'm so happy that we did! The café/bakery is open from 12-3pm on weekdays, and we just happened to be in the area around lunchtime. They offer takeaway as well as dining in, and we chose to sit on one of the tables outside. The staff were incredibly helpful and explained the menu to us. We ordered a vegan club sandwich and 'il duo perfetto' (savoury vegan croissants) and everything was very tasty! They also offer a variety of vegan coffees and cakes.

Golosa e imperfetta magia

Nel menù c'è un piatto in particolare, le insolite verdure, di cui faccio sempre scorta chiedendo il bis d'asporto. Questo piatto è un trionfo di colori, erbe e e spezie.
Il personale, tutto, si prende cura di spiegarti gli ingredienti, uno per uno, e di farti vivere un'esperienza che vorrai replicare.

Pros: Un trionfo di ingredienti vegetali , Stagionalità degli ingredienti , Il personale racconta il menù

Tappa obbligatoria se si va a Como!

Un locale propriamente... da cani!!!
Ma che avete capito? Suuuuupeeeer pet friendly!! 💕🐾 Dove le code scodinzolanti trovano letteralmente la loro dimensione rilassata.
Agli accompagnatori umani, consiglio di sedersi comodi e lasciarsi trasportare da sapori, profumi e sapienti consigli degli straordinari proprietari, che grazie alla loro simpatia e solarità rendono l'esperienza ancora più unica e inebriante.
Location comodissima perché vicinissima al centro. Rapporto qualità-prezzo buonissimo e i dolci rimangono nel cuore!
Non si può passare a Como senza fare tappa qui. 🤩🤩🤩

Pros: Ingredienti selezionati in modo attento, Proprietari straordinari. Solari e accoglienti, Dog friendly

Cons: Nessuno

Ich wurde sehr überrascht. In 3 Tag Urlaub in Como ging ich 3 mal in dieses tolle Restaurant. Alles mit viel Liebe zubereitet und die Besitzer sind soo freundlich und grossem Elan am Arbeiten. Das Essen ist fantastisch!
Bin ein grosser Valdibella Fan und diese bieten sie dort an. - Liebe Grüsse an die Besitzerin. (: Bis bald.

Delicious organic vegan food, 10 stars 💕

Super cozy place in center of Como with friendly owners & staff 🌸 Everything is vegan, except one thing on the menu that has cheese in it. They use very interesting antique grains & lots of seasonal organic vegetables & serve it all on vintage plates 😃 The kind owner will tell you all about the lovely food and how it's prepared in Italian or in English. They have a menu & also specials 💚

I had a few yummy breadsticks made from ancient grains, a beautiful plate with a dome of millet with a green sauce of erbette (not sure what the exact translation is in english here but Italian greens), dandelions, cimette di rapa (turnip greens / leaves ) and a vegan bechamel sauce that had miso in it and a walnut on top which was prepared in a special way 🌿

I also had a soft & rich vegan chocolate dessert ✨ So gooood. I will add pictures. Loved it all!

Please note - it's only open at lunch times. But it's definitely worth a trip, everything was so tasty, interesting & the place is charming. 10 stars!

Wonderful place in Como!

I have constantly dreamed about the vegan pizza since our (all too brief) visit to Como. The crust was an amazingly flavorful artisan mix of "ancient grains," and the sauce and vegetables were seasoned to perfection (so they didn't dominate the unique flavors of the grains). I also had a slice of incredible chocolate cake. It was rich and deliciously decadent with a creamy, fudge-like texture.

Home away from home

The nicest place in Como by far. Staff is friendly, speak English but don't switch automatically which is really nice for a foreigner trying to learn Italian like myself. Had the nicest cappuccino in town there. Was looking forward to trying a chocolate cake but on the day I went it was sold out. Good sign though that everything is fresh and I enjoyed the surprise element of not having the same things every day. Also made me try another cake with perfect taste of cacao and hazelnut, finally something not too sweet and good texture. The bakery is open meaning you can see them at work from your table. Lots of (cooking)books to read and a big long table to meet people. 10/10 and looking forward to my next Como visit to be able to go back here😄
The only tip: bread with vegetable(spread) was amazing but the presentation could be better.

Pros: Amazing fresh food and drinks, Lots of gluten free/healthy options, Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff

Cons: Would be nice to have an outside sitting area, Not so nice presentation of the sandwich

Delicious dish of the day

Delicious dish of the day parmigiana with vegan cheese. Vegan pizza and bread. Very nice place with good atmosphere. Owner very happy to explain what’s vegan which is most of it. They do sell dairy cheese in the cold cuts but the dishes of the day are vegan. Had very good wine and coffee too. Central location in Como.

Pros: Vegan dishes of the day, pizza, bread, cookies, Very good wine biodynamic

Cons: Not clearly labelled as vegan but owner explains

Delicious!

This place is really nice and quiet. All the breads, pizzas, focacce and sweets are home-made.
Most of the dishes are vegan and vegetarian.
They use different types of flour that contain a low level of gluten and they have also dishes gluten free!

Pros: Home-made, Gluten free dishes

Cons: Time (open just for lunch)
