    Entrance... hard to find
    Leslie B.

    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.

    Lake fish with rice, brown butter and sage
    Tianhang D.

    A very nice restaurant hidden in a small alley in Bellagio! The service was nice and the price was more reasonable than those on the main street. I ordered Lake Fish with Rice, Brown Butter and Sage for 16€. It was served fast and very delicious. The fish was battered with a lot of egg and fried. It tasted fresh. The rice was cooked in brown butter and cheese and was very tasty. A great meal! Their outdoor seating was very nice. It's in a small alley without much pedestrians, so it's very quiet. The staff was very available, in contrast with those restaurants on the big streets where they're almost always short-handed. Also it's in the shade of the buildings, so when the breeze came it felt very refreshing. Definitely come if you want a peaceful dining experience!

    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.

    Gayle and I had the pleasure of spending 3 Vacation days in the Lake Como area. On our last day, we bought a mid-Lake boat pass and thoroughly enjoyed the mountain scenery, the lake-side Villages, and Villas, and an overall relaxing time on the water. Lake Como is gorgeous, even though the haze significantly detracts from its beauty. We also decided to go on shore at Bellagio, the self-proclaimed "Pearl of the Lake". The place has a classy Old World Elegance feel, if you don't mind occasionally feeling like a "Tramp in the Palace". And even in September, there are lots of people here, especially on the waterfront. After wandering about a bit, we were ready for Lunch and decided to walk up the hill a bit to find a nice restaurant. From Rick Steves' tour book, we picked Ristorante Terrazza Barchetta. It's a pleasant 2nd Floor Terrace with no Lake view, but with an elegant, yet causal vibe. We ordered a full bottle of wine, plus portions of Tagliatelle Agnello and Risotto Salsiccia, and settled into good conversation and a long delicious meal. There was only 1 other party in the Restaurant, a young couple with 1- and 2-year old girls who were acting in an "age appropriate" manner. Mom and Dad were attentive and loving parents, and Grandma Gayle couldn't help herself in engaging the young ones from a distance. At one point, the Mom apologized for her children's behaviour, but there was no need for that. So in addition, we started talking parenting tips and about where were from an what we did. As it turned out, the Mom was a British Pop Star by the name of Lily Allen. Gayle and I had to look her up afterwards, and I'm sure Lily and her Husband Sam were just fine with the fact that we really didn't know who the hell they were, other than good parents with 2 really cute girls. Hence, they are not in any of the pictures I took during Lunch, nor did I ask for an autograph. However, if Sam and Lily ever happen to be in Town and need a babysitter, those girls will never forget G.G.'s (Grammy Gayle) loving care of her young ones.

The particular alley it was on was not as bustling as the others and the outdoor tables looked inviting as we passed by. We ended up dining inside, where we could be seated immediately. The decor was impressive and fun. We went with a local buckwheat noodle dish (pizzoccheri), which had a very unique and earthy flavor. Recommended to grind fresh pepper on it before enjoying. Worth trying if you're adventurous and want to familiarize yourself with the cuisine of the Valtellina valley. We also had a more classic red sauce pasta (lasagne al ragù di carne). Very thin, light, and elegant noodles in both dishes. An excellent portion size for lunch. Service was attentive and outstanding.

We ended up getting seated right at the edge of the vine-covered terrace overlooking the beautiful Salita Serbelloni which just gave such a romantic vibe overall. All of the food we had was phenomenal. We started with the roasted octopus and potato gnocchi, both of which were very tasty with great flavors. The octopus was cooked perfectly, and I also loved the ragu sauce that went with the gnocchi. Then, my fiance and I had their fish of the day which they cook up in front of you, and it was served with seasonal vegetables and roasted potatoes. This was absolutely delicious -- the fish was tender and so fresh!

I think partly it was that our general online research offered a lunch menu that was a la carte, but they only had a prefix menu when we were dining there. In the end, I personally feel like this is more 3.5 stars, and what made it just shy of 4 stars was that the prefix menu felt like a cash grab. The dishes themselves were hit or miss (eg the cacio e pepe dish was subpar and the flavor wasn't great) but we had a beef tartare that was pretty good!

What a beautiful setting and the day was warm and sunny.

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.

We sampled local cuisine and shopped our hearts out before returning to our villa on the shore of Lake Como. However... upon reflection, a more accurate memory features a very sweaty Nico hobbling on blistered feet, sans Clooney, in desperate need of shade and refreshment. Now that I recall, Forma e Gusto came into my life at a perfect moment in time. Tucked in between several buildings, under a lush canopy of leaves, Forma e Gusto offers respite on a hot summer day. The restaurant offers intimate indoor seating, as well as several tables lining the covered alley. Be sure to check out the charming outdoor bar as well. Their menu offers most of the usual dishes found on Lake Como, with a few surprises thrown in. I ordered the Ravioli di Pesce di Lago, buttery raviolis filled with trout and goat cheese. I made the right choice! I've since tried to replicate this deliciousness at home and have failed spectacularly! The restaurant's raviolis were the result of locally sourced ingredients skillfully prepared by someone with years of experience. I have vivid sense memory of those remarkable raviolis; I hope to one day taste them again. I was only in Bellagio for a single afternoon, and didn't have the opportunity to dine elsewhere. It's possible there are restaurants more deserving of your attention, however Forma e Gusto came to my rescue with their delicious food and outstanding customer service. (Roberto deserves an award for his ability to effortlessly multitask, and to describe the menu items poetically. He's no George Clooney, but he's a gem for sure!)
