Materia
Cernobbio, Italy
Materia puts the kitchen ahead of the postcard view. In a contemporary Cernobbio dining room, the cooking takes an experimental approach that will particularly suit travellers keen to explore beyond familiar Italian classics. The experience is intimate and food-led, making it a useful counterpoint to the lake’s grand hotel restaurants. Choose it for a tasting-menu evening with an open mind, and raise allergies or strong dislikes before committing to your reservation.
