Owner and Executive Chef Ali Celik opened 288 Lark Wine & Tap in 2019, followed by Villa Di Como Ristorante & Farm Distillery next door at 286 Lark St in 2020. Chef Ali purchased both properties in 2016 after they had sat vacant for over five years. He undertook an extensive three-year renovation to historically preserve and restore them. 

 

Originally from Lake Como, Italy, Chef Ali specializes in authentic Italian cuisine, crafting super-premium Limoncello & Orangecello Liqueurs and gourmet jarred Italian sauces for you to take home.

 

Our restaurants feature an extensive Italian wine list to be enjoyed alongside Chef Ali's delicious al dente pasta, all within the ambiance of an Italian villa.

 

At Villa di Como, we provide professional yet warm hospitality, making our guest feel welcome at home.

 

We have a very intimate dining space with only 7 tables in our general dining room, as well as a private dining room-the perfect setting for celebrating special occasions with your loved ones!

​​

Ciao!
