There are moments when Lake Como truly shows its very best.

July and August are undoubtedly among them.

The days seem endless, the sun accompanies lunch well into the afternoon, and dinners turn into long evenings outdoors, with the lake reflecting the last colors of the day. This is the time when La Baia experiences its most vibrant and enchanting season, when the holiday atmosphere meets our cuisine and creates an experience that goes far beyond the simple pleasure of dining.

To celebrate this special time of year, our kitchen team has created a new seasonal menu, available throughout July and August.

A fresh, elegant, and flavorful selection of summer-inspired dishes, designed to highlight fish, premium ingredients, and the lightness that makes every lunch or dinner by the lake truly memorable.

Flavors that tell the story of summer

Our journey begins with the Sea Bass Ceviche, one of the freshest dishes on the menu.

Prepared by Yuri, who brings authentic knowledge of Peruvian culinary tradition into our kitchen, the sea bass is carefully crafted to enhance its delicate flavor and served on a crispy sweet potato wafer. A dish that evokes the sea, sunshine, and the feeling of being on holiday.

Next comes Rice, Cuttlefish and Tomato, where the sweetness of tomato water meets the tenderness of baby cuttlefish slowly cooked in their own ink. It is a dish that manages to be both delicate and intense, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean through a few perfectly balanced ingredients.

The star of summer 2026?

Among the dishes on the new menu, the one that best represents the philosophy of this season is undoubtedly the Baccalà Pil Pil.

A great classic of Bilbao cuisine, reinterpreted with full respect for tradition.

The heart of the cod fillet is served with the famous Pil Pil sauce, created through the natural emulsification of the fish's juices, which during cooking form tiny bubbles reminiscent of the sound “pil pil pil pil.” It is accompanied by a delicate salad with candied lemons that adds freshness and balance to the dish. Elegant and full of character, it is the perfect choice for anyone looking to enjoy something truly special during a summer evening on Lake Como.

A finale that tastes like a holiday

To conclude the experience, we present a dessert created by Giuseppe.

Peach and Yogurt captures all the freshness of summer: yogurt cream, peach citronette, and pan-seared peaches come together in a delicate and refined balance. A light ending, designed to leave you with the memory of a wonderfully spent evening.

This new menu can be enjoyed dish by dish or experienced as a complete tasting journey, an option we recommend to those who wish to be guided through an experience designed to accompany the entire evening.

Because at La Baia, every dish is only part of the story.

The other part is the lake before you, the summer breeze, the slower rhythm of the holidays, and the pleasure of sharing time with the people you love.

The new summer menu will be available starting from 2nd July and throughout July and August.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the most beautiful season of the year together.
