Comacina

The only island on lake Como is the virtually uninhabited island of Comacina which houses a very unique restaurant. Upon arriving by boat you will discover that it has a menu that hasn't changed since it was opened 50 years ago and there are no choice of dishes. You eat what you are served. The dinner ends with an exorcism ceremony of fire with home-made brandy performed by the owner wearing a woolly hat. The whole evening seems a little bizarre but it is a great hit with both the tourists and the locals that visit.
