For a taste of Italy in the heart of Santa Cruz, head to Lago di Como on East Cliff Drive. Owned by Giovanni and Mary Ellen Salciccia-Spanu, Lago di Como has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with slate tile floors, dark gray and creamy ivory walls, and well-placed mirrors that create an illusion of space. The eatery serves a mouthwatering menu of traditional Northern Italian fare, from homemade pastas and sauces to wood-fired pizzas and a range of authentic meat and fish dishes, such as the fresh salmon with lemon glaze or the veal scaloppini with mushroom sauce. An impressive variety of wines and Proseccos is the perfect accompaniment to every dish.
