RISTORANTE OLIO AND SPAZIO THE BOX

Introducing the local businesses that make up Como’s COMO4COMO Community 

Very rarely do you find a restaurant, a collection of historical cars, an art gallery, and a greenhouse in one space. However, if you venture out a little beyond the city of Como you will find Spazio The Box, a project envisioned by entrepreneur Luigi Milini and his family. At its heart is Ristorante Olio, a culinary destination that has drawn food lovers from around the world since its opening on August 8, 2020.

Ristorante Olio’s philosophy is centered on offering an experience that goes beyond a simple meal, transforming it into a sensory journey. Chef Andrea Marinelli masterfully leads the kitchen, offering seafood that is carefully selected daily, adhering to principles of sustainability and traceability, while vegetables and citrus fruits come primarily from the gardens and greenhouses of The Box.

The restaurant has three signature dishes: seafood brodetto with Sardinian fregola, a crispy sea-and-garden mix with remoulade, and a seasonally inspired Risotto Riserva San Massimo, whose accompanying ingredients change according to the season.

This deep connection with the local territory is another fundamental pillar of the restaurant’s identity as well as the family behind the project’s identity. The Milini family have been in Como for many generations.

That’s why it comes as no surprise that there is also a strong bond with Como 1907. Ristorante Olio is another local business part of the COMO4COMO project that enables local businesses to support regional development through contributing to Fondazione Como through the resale of Como 1907 products.

In addition to this, the restaurant is also a part of the club’s history. This location was used as the space for the team and its fans to celebrate their promotion to Serie A in 2024.
