Lo Storico

"Incredible" is not a strong enough word to describe the flavors, food, and atmosphere at this establishment. The location is somewhat difficult to find at first because it is tucked away from the bustling plaza’s typically lined with restaurants. However, we were referred by a friendly wine bar server we've come to adore and we're glad we took the recommendation. This is a resturant to seek out. The "historical dish" alone made us book a return trip to Como after first visiting for Christmas last year! I have never been a fan of seafood as I don't care for the "fishy" flavors which can typically be found in most dishes I have tried, but this resturant focuses all of its attention on the perfection of a specially curated seafood selection of which I have never before experienced. Each dish I have tried has been the pinnacle of seafood preparation and flavor and I loved every bite. The owners, Mary and Nicolo, always make us feel like we've known them for years. We liked the experience so much this year that we returned again the next evening before concluding our time in Como. All of the staff are professional and delightful to interact with and after only one evening, remembered each of our names! From the ingredient choices down to the locally sourced oil diffusers in the bathrooms, it is clear to me that every detail of the carefully curated atmosphere both inside and out are considered and cared about. The wine list is immaculate and if you feel lost, Nicolo is a great sommelier and will point you in the right direction and has never been wrong with our taste preferences which has led to our implicit trust in his judgement. He also respects our budget, which is typically otherwise impossible to find in Como. We are continually impressed and cannot wait for the next trip. Many loving thanks to you and your wonderful staff. See you soon! Your Chicago family, Felicia, Zack, Kevin, and Heather.

An exceptional experience especially the attentive staff. Food was well prepared and tasty. Their wine suggestions were spot on. Atmosphere was cosy and comfortable. I recommend booking.
