At Ristorante La Baia, summer is more than just a season — it’s a moment to be lived. It’s the sunlight shimmering on the lake, the warm air brushing your skin, the sound of clinking glasses and surprising dishes arriving at the table. Starting July 24, we launch a new seasonal menu designed to tell that very story. A menu that will accompany us through to September, celebrating the very best of Italy, the territory, and our craft.

This menu was born with a clear purpose: to highlight Italian ingredients at their seasonal peak, with fresh, intense, creative dishes that taste like summer. But it was also created to showcase the value of our front-of-house team, because the La Baia experience doesn’t stop at the food — it’s completed by attentive, warm, thoughtful service. Our staff is a vital part of the journey we want you to enjoy. And in this menu, service plays a starring role.

The flavours of summer

We begin with the scampi tartare, paired with celery pearls and a cool, refreshing gazpacho. This is summer on a plate: the sweetness of raw scampi, the crunch of the celery, and the bright acidity of the gazpacho. A bold and colourful combination with balance and personality.

Next comes the Open Raviolo with fresh clams: delicate sheets of pasta embracing sautéed zucchini and sweet, briny clams. It’s a dish full of sea breeze and lightness, where the softness of zucchini blends beautifully with the vibrant marine flavour of the clams.

Then comes the star of the show — the dish that turns heads at every table: the Sea Skewer. A generous skewer served tableside, featuring plump king prawns and sweet scallops, laid over a velvety, aromatic guacamole. The service here is part of the performance: the dish arrives steaming, full of grilled seafood aromas. It’s pure spectacle — and pure flavour. 

To close the meal, a dessert that feels like a walk through a summer forest: Sottobosco. Blueberries in different textures, fresh wild berries, and crisp shards of chocolate. A refreshing, surprising, and satisfying dessert. It’s sweet, but never too much — and finishes fresh, clean, and elegant.

Choose your path (but we recommend the full journey)

Each dish in the menu can be ordered individually, enjoyed as a stand-alone course. But as always at La Baia, we suggest opting for the complete tasting menu: a carefully designed progression of flavours and experiences that reflects our idea of summer.

Each dish offers a new emotion, each moment has been crafted to accompany the beauty that surrounds us.

The menu will be available from July 24 through the entire month of August, every day for both lunch and dinner.

Book your table now and let us guide you through an experience that brings together cuisine, service, and landscape, right on the shores of Lake Como.
