In the heart of the historic center of Como

Come for a panino. Stay for the Vicolino.

Who we are

Born in an alley. Raised in the heart of Como.

Born in 2018 in the heart of Como's historic center, the Vicolino del Paninaio is a small restaurant with a big idea: to bring gourmet cuisine made of selected ingredients, curated recipes and special flavors to everyday life.

Every sandwich, every dish and every pizza is born from research, testing and passion. We select quality raw materials, combine flavors that are never taken for granted, and update the menu twice a year to keep creativity alive.

Our focus is not only in the food, but also in the welcome: we want those who come in to feel heard, pampered, comfortable.

You come here to eat well.

Tornerai perché ti sei sentito bene!

Approach and philosophy: how we work

Our cooking is simple: we do things with heart.

Every morning we start with the simple things: fresh bread, quality ingredients, recipes we have known for years and enjoy reinventing. That's the way we work: uncomplicated, thinking about who will come in and what we can make them good, always with a smile.

In our sandwiches, cutting boards and plates is our daily commitment, but also a bit of your story. We like to see you sitting, at ease, between laughs, tastings and chats. This is the warmth that drives us: sincere cooking, made with care, that makes you want to come back and us want to give it our all.
