A true gastronomic and Christmas journey in the Lisander Fine Dining Restaurant at the Hotel Promessi Sposi on Lake Como from executive chef Angelo Biscotti.
Dishes celebrating the excellence of the Lombardy region
The dishes on Biscotti’s new menu and for this Christmas, transform each course into a symphony of flavours that blend together impeccably. This menu at the four-star luxury Hotel Promessi Sposi on Lake Como, which combines tradition with creativity is designed to celebrate the excellence of the Lombardy region. 
Traditional specialties in a modern key
Angelo Biscotti’s philosophy is expressed through the art of skilfully interpreting high quality ingredients that enhance typical local dishes. The dining room, which can seat 20, is an exclusive sensorial journey where the décor blends harmoniously with the natural colours that recall the evocative surrounding landscape. The proposed menu is a declaration of love for autumn, with dishes masterfully conceived by the executive chef who, on the occasion of the Christmas festivities, has studied two refined menus with creations that recall traditions in a modern key. Among his dishes are the Scampo with cucumber, fennel and green apple, and the Milanese Ossobuco with celeriac and puffed rice. The grand finale with the handcrafted Panettone made in the inhouse pastry shop comes in two versions: with fragrant citrus fruit cream or with mascarpone cream and salted zabaglione; all washed down with prestigious wines to toast Christmas and the New Year.
“It was like having a blank canvas”
"The design and realisation of fine dining inside the Hotel Promessi Sposi in the heart of the pretty village of Malgrate was a real challenge because it was like having a blank canvas. I started from scratch with the good fortune of being able to count on a competent staff," said Executive Chef Biscotti.
