The history

La costruzione del Crotto risale a più di cento anni fa, fu infatti fondato nel 1870.
Il primo proprietario sig. Taiana, faceva il muratore e decise di sopraelevare lo stabile adibendo il piano superiore ad abitazione per villeggianti stagionali fino al 1925. Il locale divenne ben presto un punto di ritrovo di residenti, contadini, buongustai e viaggiatori.Successivamente il Crotto fu venduto al sig. Colombo che insieme al figlio ampliò ulteriormente la struttura. Dal 1978 sino ad oggi la gestione è stata assunta dai due soci valtellinesi che portano avanti con passione ed attenzione la centenaria storia gastronomica del Crotto del lupo in collaborazione con GM Gastronomic Group.

The place

Located on the Cardina hill and immersed in a suggestive green setting, the Crotto is easily accessible from both Italy and Switzerland. The area is considered one of the most beautiful "Larian Walks" in the Como mountains. A balcony on Lake Como where shade, good air, tranquility and breathtaking views make it a corner of peace and relaxation for all visitors.

The Crotto

The restaurant offers to its guests a large, recently refurbished flowered terrace which, in the hot season, allows you to taste the dishes while enjoying the fresh climate and the scents of the surrounding woods. Internally the restaurant is composed of three cozy dining rooms furnished in a rustic style. The main room can comfortably accommodate up to 50 people and it has a very impressive stone fireplace.
