Easily the best wine and charcuterie restaurant in all of Bellagio. Set in a 300 yr old cellar…read moreoriginally used to store snow for keeping food preserved but now is a perfect wine cellar with great ambiance. Best to make a reservation hours or 1 day in advance to get the better table in the back room surrounded by wine racks. Matteo was amazing with expert knowledge in all available wines and very fun demeanor and very attentive service. We ended up purchasing many bottles of wine (that we had tasted through their numerous wine tasting menu) and had them shipped back to the States right on site. If you like wine paired with amazing meats and cheeses, this is undoubtedly the place to go. Also recommended by all the locals we interacted with. Enjoy!!

It is a mom & son owned restaurant with warm and welcoming service. While the menu is not too expansive, what they do have to offer makes up for it in quality, taste, and freshness.

It's a small operation that does it right. I had the most incredible bruschetta of my life. A white buffalo style creamy cheese layered on toasted bread with fresh, red full flavored tomatoes. This is not the traditional version but order it. Their wild boar pasta was excellent along with the cacio and pepe pasta. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The service was good, kind owner, cutest location and small menu is delicious. How this is flying under the radar I'm shocked. We ate at some of the highly touted restaurants and were underwhelmed by other reviewers recommendations. I loved, loved this small, precious and special little gem.

But overall my wife and I had a great time, recommend it and would go back this summer to enjoy a meal on their terrasse. We started with the capacolla dried tomato starter, essentially dried ham on tomato and basil bruchetta. We then got the argentinean beef filet complemented with spicy potatoes and the corn sealed tuna served with potatoes and spinach. Both impeccable, good quality beef, tuna slightly grilled on both side while preserving the flavors. The staff recommended the Malbec barricas del plata, which is apparently a wine produced by the in-laws of a staff member. As you can expect from Malbec, impressions of dark fruits on the nose - light tannins..not bad at all - for the anecdote i was going to take a bottle home (you can buy it to go for 35chf).We finished with a scoop each of their home made gelato.. honestly we were not hungry anymore - this was purely out of self indulgence - and to wrap up a great meal the right way. Dont hesitate - try it!

Small, dark, roomy and dog friendly!!! Yey italia!! Saw a few tiny little pups way past their bedtime :) And! Doesn't make this place less romantic or speak easy ish. The cocktail menu was short and sweet. Jazz! Spritz!! Gin cocktail was what I went for mainly for the ingredients. I do love a good herb in my drink! And the spritz!!! All the spritz!! Flowers, rosemary! And of course,a dry martini with extra olives! Olives stuffed with cheese!! Yummmm! Best part about Italy is prices. Even the most expensive in Como isn't crazy expensive. It was super reasonable! This was a second stop for my midnight bday drinks! Left a year older! :D Super warm, laid back!! Just a perfect way to ring in the new year!! Walked right back to my hotel!
