Materia Lake Como

9.56 (662)•Italian · Contemporary · Seafood
Closed · Opens Tue at 7:00 PMVia Trieste, 1/B, 22012 Cernobbio CO

Materia is on Via Trieste, steps from the shoreline of Lake Como. The kitchen holds a Michelin star and sits at number 27 on the list of 50 Top Italy grandi ristoranti.

The restaurant serves contemporary Italian seafood, focusing on a precise, modern register that distinguishes it from the traditional menus found in nearby trattorias. While the area near the Cernobbio Ferry Terminal is often busy with casual commuters and day-trippers, Materia provides a quiet, dressier atmosphere that prioritizes calm over volume. It is more expensive than the casual lakefront options, a gap supported by the 4.78 guest rating from over six hundred diners. If you are walking from Villa Erba, you will arrive in twenty minutes, trading the expansive garden crowds for a tighter, more intimate dining room.
