The location and view from here is jaw dropping. The hotel also has a private van you can shuttle from the hotel to Bellagio for free, just have to book your times in their available slots before hand. The breakfast buffet is amazing and their cappuccino is the best we had during our whole trip. We also ate dinner here one night and it was amazing! Highly recommend and will be back next time we visit!

Another Spontini. The historical Slice Pizzeria of Milan, opened in 1953, has now got a…read moreFranchising. First, regular Pizzerias were opened; now also fast foods started appearing. Places where to eat at a tiny price, in an agreeable environment. I was in Bergamo for the interesting "Bergamo Science" Event. And I was into the upper part of Bergamo, waiting for a Conference in Santa Maria Maggiore. Upper Bergamo is quite expensive, and I looked for a cheap place where to eat something. I casually came across this place. And decided to get inside. The place is cozy, not great but welcoming. Some menus are proposed. They're quite cheap, in Spontini' Tradition. I chose a menu with Pizza and Mineral Water. For 4,80 €. Pizza was not bad, even nor superlative. But fitting the moment and the price. The place where to eat is agreeable. And in upper Bergamo, earing with less than 5 euros is remarkable! So, if you are in upper Bergamo, looking for something cheap where to eat, Spontini can fit your needs. Quite good Slice Pizza, agreeable environnent, tiny prices. Don't expect too much! But if your expectations are not at the top... that's the right place for you!

After touring the fabulous Villa Melzi gardens and traversing the hilly cobble stoned Bellagio streets adorned by abundant shops and restaurants, it was time for lunch. The Hotel Metropole is conveniently located in the town, and the alfresco dining offered provided a perfect view of the lake. There were plenty of tables available when we sat down, so we selected one with an optimum view. It was a great spot to watch the public ferries traversing the lake, and the private water taxis buzzing about in this busy little town. We selected the Salad with Prawns, and Spaghetti Carbonara. Both were nicely prepared, the prawns were fresh, and the spaghetti cooked perfectly al dente, in a tasty sauce. Service was good, and the patio venue unbeatable on this beautiful day. This was a solid four-star experience for our pleasant lunch.

We had already had Lunch and we were in the mood for either coffee or ice cream. The Hotel Metropole Snack Bar has some nice scenic outdoor seating and yes it's a bit pricey. But so what? We were on vacation and we were only snacking. My ice cream sundae (see picture) was delicious and refreshing, and of course the people watching was worth the cover charge alone.
