    Cheese & meat board
    Jenny R.

    There are no reservations here. We waited on a line before dinner time to ensure we could get a table. We were a large group and we had to split up. I didn't get many pictures of the food. I had the steak. They were cut into smaller pieces. It was soft and had flavor. My sons had the lasagna and they said they were great. The loss of a star is because service was very slow.

    Bruschetta
    Gustavo G.

    The service was quick but once served never came back. Struggled to get servers attention to order coffee after the meal. Food was ok. We ordered bruschetta, lasagna and spaghetti carbonara. The bruschetta was excellent. The lasagna and spaghetti were ok. The lasagna at times tasted like other foods. Almost as if it had been in a fridge with other things and picked up the flavor. They were playing 80s music, but surprisingly the restaurant was not that loud. They also had outdoor seating but we couldn't choose as the restaurant was full.

    Gross polenta and veal. Mushy and not at all what I'd expect in Italy.

    We sat for a while waiting for someone to come to us. No biggie but then the food was just not that great. We were super hopeful after wandering upon this place but it just missed the mark in every way. Look at my veal and polenta. Yuck. The carbonara was decent but not even hot. Keep looking if you're wanting a taste of Italy.

    Entrance... hard to find

    Barchetta was the first place my husband and I ate dinner when we arrived in Bellagio. This restaurant is just up the steps from the main road along the water. It took us a few minutes to find our way in as the sign at the entrance was a bit hidden. It was pretty busy inside, but we were able to get a seat immediately once we walked in. The restaurant was cute with a warm, cozy feel. We were greeted right away and given a bit of help choosing a local wine. We had two servers that night. They were both polite and attentive. They seemed to care a great deal about the restaurant and their guests. The wine was bold and full of flavor. Instead of a full dinner that night, I had creamy pumpkin soup and stuffed squash blossoms with truffle oil. The pumpkin soup was delicious and clearly made from fresh pumpkin. The squash blossoms were lightly fried and stuffed with ricotta and herbs. I would love to have those again. My husband enjoyed a local, fresh, grilled lake fish. It was served with vegetables and roasted potatoes which made for a very colorful dish. I didn't get to try the dessert, as I had eaten plenty, but if I ever go back, I would definitely give it a try.

    Quaint restaurant with a unique pizza menu! The location is stellar with good service

    Truffle risotto
    Erica L.

    The sweetest place ever. The restaurant is intimate but inviting. I went here with two girlfriends and the staff was wonderful. They gave us recommendations and ensured we were taken care of at all times. We ate the spicy spaghetti and truffle risotto, both of which were delicious and we also got a mixed salad with veggies--which were so ripe!! During the meal we shared how much we loved the glasses and asked the staff where we could get our own. On the way out they gifted us with one which was so generous and kind. They truly made us feel like family. I would highly recommend going here.

    First impression: When you walk up the stairs you are greeted with a lovely second story restaurant with some tables having excellent views down the alley of the lake and mountains. Service: We chose one of the many open tables, this one having a beautiful view. Once seated the waiter came promptly asking if we would like some drinks, while beginning to order a half bottle of wine, an older balding grey haired fat man who was the manager, possible owner as well rudely interrupted and said we must be reseated to another table since it was "reserved". There was no sign on the table indicating so however. We were moved to a corner table. Once you sit down you are charged €3 per seat so we stayed. A few minutes later an older British Couple came up and asked the manager if the table that we had originally sat at and were moved from was available. He said certainly and they were seated without a reservation. There is clearly profiling occurring and the best seats are offered only to those they deem more wealthy based on age, race, nationality. Food: I had the fried lake fish entree with creamy risotto and sage. It was mediocre and the fish batter was not tasty. Way too much egg in the batter, it was like eating egg. My girlfriend got the tagliatelle since it said it was "fresh pasta" unlike their spaghetti which is from a box of dry pasta. Unfortunately I tried the tagliatelle and it was not fresh, but had been dried and stored for quite a while before being boiled for serving. Maybe most tourists can't tell the difference, but I make pasta home made often and know the difference instantly. The owner is deceptive. The pasta did not cling to sauce, broke easily so you could not turn it onto a fork. Both signs of NON-FRESH pasta. It was boxed tagliatelle. The texture was cheap and I hate boxed pasta. More on service: The older fat man that owns or manages the restaurant came to our table and was rude, not asking if we enjoyed it, or even commenting. We did not buy the expensive wine and if you aren't spending alot of money they try to push you out quickly. The young male waiter also never asked if we liked the food or needed anything. However the older couple next to us from the UK that had ordered a full bottle of expensive wine, the owner and waiter both asked multiple times. Never, NEVER returning to this horrible restaurant.

    We had one of our favorite meals in all the time we have spent in Italy at Barchetta. My wife had the Risotto with Sausage it was great and unlike anything we had ever had before. I had the pesto and it was one of the best if not the best pesto I have ever had. We finished with the Zabaglione, had no idea what we were getting but like everything else it was delicious.

    A notch above some of the other touristy spots in BELLAGIO. Also, we left a phone behind and they set it aside for us. Grazie!

    Ok. Many restaurants in Bellagio are off the many stairs in the area. Small and intimate but full…read moreof experiences. We saw La Lanterna on our first night thought we have to give it a try while we were here. The next night we walked by and the was a table outside in the stairs. OK, it does not talk much to excite us but this was awesome. Enjoying our meal while watching people walk by and walk by. A lot of people walk by and look et you. So if you are self conscious ask to sit inside. They have a basic menu of pasta and at first we thought, "this will not be enough food." It was plenty and so flavorful. In our four weeks of travel in Italy and Greece, this was my most memorable and tasty meal. No hesitation. Just a cute little restaurant with a great eating experience.

    Date of visit: May 27, 2025…read more We had a couple of hours to explore Bellagio and my fellow Yelpers recommended this place and they were right to do so! Just barely beating the rush, we were given a lovely table inside and could enjoy the artsy decor--loved the flat wine bottle art, just wish it wasn't so expensive. 60 euros with the current exchange rate is a bit much especially that I was wary of being able to get it home safely! My mom went with the minestrone and she raved about it the rest of the trip! I dipped some of my bread in it and agree that it was quite good and that's not normally a soup I care for. The rest of us somehow all got lasagna and most of us enjoyed it, though one of the group found it too "creamy." I would agree that I do like a bit more mozzarella on my lasagna, but that could also be an American thing and not "authentic." Really the only negative here was having to go all the way downstairs to pay my bill. The restaurant isn't very big yet it was not the easiest journey and the wait down there was a bit long. Otherwise a great experience!

Waited 5-10 minutes for available seats and orders served within 15minutes. Lasagna - perfect ratio/balance of al dente pasta and rich meat sauce sauce. I can smell the aroma of baked cheese! Pasta Carbonara in Pistachio sauce - creamy delicious sauce poured over the Al dente pasta. Please have time to check the notes / policy posted in front before ordering. Highly recommended option when looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Bellagio.

    While in Bellagio, we found this little cafe tucked into an alley on the hill. We waited a few…read moreshort minutes to be seated and were tucked into a table outside. What a beautiful setting and the day was warm and sunny. We each ordered a glass of wine, and then scoured the menu, finally settling on a pasta dish for one, pizza for the other one, and Mr. Bee and I split a pizza. When in Italy one must have as much pizza as you can. Each is different, but never a bad one. I have to say, the pizza was the best we had on the trip. The crust was light and crunchy, but tender. The sauce was simple but incredible. The mushrooms and prosciutto were the icing on the pie. The service was friendly and fast. We absolutely loved our lunch at this little eatery.
