ristorazione — Gravedona · Lombardia
On the Alto Lario, where the waters of the lake narrow between wooded mountains and the Swiss border draws near, Gravedona holds an unexpected sign: a Neapolitan pizzeria overlooking the lakefront, with its dough, high cornicione (pizza crust) and Naples-style fried specialities just steps from the water.
The sign stands in Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, just steps from the water: an address that already carries a piece of history in its name. Gravedona ed Uniti is a town in the Alto Lario Comasco, and here, where the lake narrows and the mountains draw closer, O' Garibaldin is open for lunch and dinner six days a week, carrying the flavours of Naples to the Lario.
Inside, the tables look out over the water; outside, in summer, the terrace opens onto the lakefront, setting the scene for both lunch and dinner. Customers describe the service as quick and friendly, the prices fair for a front-row spot on the Lario — a balance that visitors from further afield often remark on with surprise, and one that alone justifies the detour.
The kitchen follows Campanian tradition with rigour: the dough is light, the cornicione high — a pizza hard to find in the area, according to those who know it well. Alongside the round pizza, the fried specialities of Neapolitan tradition: scazzuoppoli, frittatine di pasta, arancini and pizza fritta, served with sweet salame, ricotta and pepper, which many customers point to as the real reason to come back.
The page brings together the full menu, opening hours and contact details: everything needed to find a table on the Lario with Neapolitan tradition on the plate.
