Definitely our favorite out of the ones we tried in the area. This gelato spot is very centrally located amongst all the other small shops and restaurants in Bellagio and even if there's a line, it moves quick! The hazelnut (nocciola) is a MUST TRY as it literally tastes like a Ferrero Rocher in gelato form. We enjoyed other flavors as well including the cherry (amarena).

Gelateria del Borgo is truly amazing and in our top 3 for the entirety of the trip. Usually very busy but the line moves quickly. Super nice staff and plenty of seating just across. Most gelatos in this part of Italy are more soft and airy this specific gelato is rich and creamy, almost wet. Pistachio is great, dark chocolate is awesome and unique flavors like Toblerone the family loved. Highly recommend. Make the walk to the top and don't have the tourist trap gelato at the bottom of the promenade here in Bellagio.

The service was incredible, and the staff was very attentive and efficient. The food came out quickly, and there was no wait. The first time we came, we traveled a on a whim while it was raining, and they had lots of space. We came the very next night after making a reservation and it was packed. I definitely recommend making a reservation. I cannot express how amazing the food was, and how kind the staff was. Extra props to all of the staff members, there were even times where three waiters were serving us our plates in order to make everything cohesive. We came back within 24 hours.Everything was DELICIOUS! My favorite was the chef's pasta

Started with drinks, the limoncello spritz is amazing & an old fashioned. Followed by the house wines for dinner, which on Vivino all rated extremely well. The food was screaming goodness, just scrumptious all around. Started with the Caesar salad, the chef's pasta special & ending with the steak done in a pepper cream sauce. Each dish was split, absolutely delicious all around. Oh & don't forget the tiramisu for dessert, followed by a cappuccino & finally limoncello. This is a definite must stop if you're in the Lake Como area. Great service, food & the views - just gorgeous as the sunsets .

The wait for a table at lunch time was reasonable on a Monday, about 15mins. We ordered the bruschetta, truffle pasta which was on the daily specials, and a ragu pasta. Loved the generous amount of truffle on the pasta and the pasta was cooked perfectly aldente. The ragu had a nice acidity to it and was delicious as well. Bruschetta was under whelming but that was ok. Really sweet of them to move us to a shaded table once they noticed I was sitting in an area that was directly under the sun. All in all, such a great restaurant, service was amazing, pricing was reasonable and the food quality was 10/10!!!

Service was efficient and friendly. I got the green summer drink which was prosecco, oj, pineapple, vodka, strawberry syrup and was super refreshing. I ordered the lasagna and it was really delicious. We got two pizzas. One was the pizza buffalo and another was the pizza olivevina and bressaoa (sp?). The olivevina pizza had no sauce. This was basically a salad on top of focaccia bread! Overall, this was a great lunch spot to have a bite to eat while walking in the city and looking at the view of lake como.

We stayed in Varenna in an Airbnb overlooking this outdoor space so we could hear the goings on at most of the restaurants. This one was the quietest. I had the beef stew which was a slice of beef slow cooked over thin sliced potatoes. It was unique, had good flavours and was well plated. My wife had the pasta and spinach and shrimp. She said it was delicious. We had three glasses of wine, dinner and desert all for $76! With a lake side view. As for the tourists .... well this is a tourist town so just bear with it. Overall a 4 with decent food, attentive staff, and a fantastic location. You won't walk away wow'd by the experience but you will walk away with a decent overall food, service and atmosphere experience.

You know you are in the right place when two Italian guys greet you with smiling faces ready to let you try their gelato! The pistachio and coconut were our top choices. They let you try samples as well which is always a telling factor about a place in como. (a lot of the places in Bellagio do not allow samples and look very non homemade) Again, Don't hesitate - when in Italy eat all the Gelato you can and definitely stop here to enjoy by the waterfront!

Lovely restaurant in Bellagio with the cutest outdoor terrace plus delicious food!…read more We had a reservation at this restaurant on a weekday night, and I would definitely recommend getting a reservation if you can since it was quite busy when we were there. 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!
