    We had a fabulous time! We highly recommend Capitan Drake's! The choices of wines were fantastic, and the cheeses and meats were so delicious. It was an intimate gathering of just our family. We were treated so warmly and kindly. We needed a little help getting to our next destination, and they were so sweet. Very charming venue.

    I love this shop! The items are beautiful and the concept is special. It’s perfect for gifts or for finding luxurious furniture in petrified wood.

    Nice book shop in Como, went there looking for a couple of books for my daughter back in Australia who studies Italian language. Picked up the two Harper Lee books, after some kind help from the sales assistant, who gift wrapped them for me.

    This shop does not only sell carefully selected modern design items, from small kitchen plates to bed spreads, but also offers unique original vintage design furniture. It's located in a chic old apartment and to get there one enters through an almost hidden, but fascinating courtyard. Already the courtyard is worth a detour .. The entire shop is a piece of art itself - a pleasure to visit

    The shop owner takes care of mixing the various tea with apparent great care

    He explained to us with great enthusiasm how the creation of his tees takes place

    To try absolutely, even just to delight the smell, the white tea with jasmine
    Fabulous!

    This shop was a bit like a treasure trove of coffee, herbs and spices and was really interesting to visit. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I was looking for a particular herb for a friend in a specific form, but they explained it was only typical in that form in the south of Italy.

    Beautiful handmade jewelry. Lovely shop and has very helpful and friendly sales staff or artists. They have high-end things that are reasonably priced for the stones they contain. I saw so much i loved in there I wish i had more time to try things on. I took a card and may order from home. This is a special store and if you love jewelry i would say it's a must-visit in Como.

    What a delightful store! My wife and I stumbled in just expecting to browse and wound up leaving with an armload of beautiful gifts to bring home: tea towels, cheese slicers, and various other housewares, all Italian-made. The owner, Marcela, was incredibly kind and helpful, especially with navigating the VAT refund process -- she even followed up by email to make sure we had received the correct receipt. Just a joy to have spent time there. Highly recommend.

    When visiting Northern Italy do not miss Como not only for the scenery, the lake, but there are interesting shopping opportunities. One of them is Peterci, located next to the Duomo, where you can find Italian men's clothing, such as Corneliani, at prices 10 to 20% under the suggested retail price and the price you would pay via de la Spiga in Milano. They do offer also tax free which can amount to 22% if you go back to the store for the refund. I would like also to mention the guidance you are receiving by the staff of the store, not wanting to make a sale at all cost, but finding for you something that will perfectly fit. They did not have the exact size in the color I wanted: they told me to return in the spring when the new collection will arrive. I will just do that.

    Drawn in by the fresh design style in the window display, we found many lovely items to tempt and take home. The best part is the helpful service from the owner and her mother who was there on the day. They took the time to get to know us and gave good advice about postal options home (very useful when you have limited luggage space!). Highly recommend seeking out when you are in Como.

    Another great visit to Como and always stop here to add to our collection at home and for local handmade gifts for friends/family.

    Take the short walk or bike ride into the city and try this shop you won’t regret it!
