About

Cascina Diodona is a picturesque family‑owned restaurant nestled in the rolling hills of Lombardy’s Prealps, just a short drive from Como and Varese. The expansive 5‑hectare estate boasts manicured lawns, orchards, and chestnut and oak woodlands, all framed by a lovingly restored farmhouse that combines rustic charm with modern comforts such as free Wi‑Fi, outdoor seating, and dedicated event areas. The menu is rooted in local, seasonal produce and showcases the region’s culinary heritage: wood‑fired dishes on open spits, grilled meats, creamy risottos, and a selection of desserts that capture the best of Lombard hospitality. Whether dining al fresco in the “Corte dei Gelsomini,” sipping wine on the “Veranda,” or enjoying a cozy night beside the “Sala del Camino,” Cascina Diodona offers an authentic, relaxed dining experience that feels like a home‑baked memory. Beyond food, the venue is a sought‑after destination for weddings, anniversaries, and corporate events, thanks to its two independent spaces, Spazio Diodona and Spazio Limonaia, each with its own entrance, parking, and kitchen, offering flexibility for any occasion.
