2 Best Restaurants in Esch-sur-Alzette and the Redlands, Luxembourg

The scruffy street on which Como sits might not conjure the kind of memories you can expect to make inside this fine Italian eatery, but therein lies the surprise. Chef Renato Favaro dives into his Lombardy roots with dishes of osso buco, buckwheat tagliatelle-style pizzoccheri, and polenta with wild shrimp—all culinary staples of Northern Italy. 

A pleasant spot for lunch or a quick meal, just next to the theater. It claims to specialize in pizza but, in truth, it does a little bit of everything, usually to a good standard. Large salads, pastas, grilled fish and meat, and even the usual Luxembourgish classics, including kuddelfleck (tripe), judd mat Gardebonnen (smoked pork and broad bean stew), and bouchée à la reine (vol-au-vent and creamy chicken) decorate a menu not short on ideas.
