Famed Lake Como Hotel Serves 150 Years of Italian History
"Chef Ettore Bocchia, one of Italy’s most renowned chefs, has been mulling over these questions while developing a new menu at his acclaimed restaurant Mistral, located inside of Lake Como’s Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2023. The daring, experimental menu is a history nerd’s wildest fantasy, debuting in April when the five-star Bellagio hotel reopens for the season, the feast covers 150 years, riffing on regional dishes and culinary development that Bocchia has discovered doing archival research – all served in his pristine, panoramic dining room on Lake Como’s shore." - Maria Yagoda
