Well, I just returned from another inspiring fabric-design trip to Lake Como! The weather was particularly beautiful this September, and there were people out and about everywhere.

There is so much beauty that surrounds you in this part of Italy- but, I have to admit- the food is definitely a big part of my inspiration! Over the next week, I am going to take the opportunity to tell you about a few of my favorite Como restaurants…

If the weather is nice, one of my favorites for lunch is the “Funicolare”. I’m not a huge fan of pizza unless it tastes like theirs- super-thin crust, baked in a wood-fire oven, fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil- Wow! It’s right by the lake and it’s a great spot to watch the old mahogany water-taxis come in. I hope to see you there!
