This enoteca…read moreis located right next to the Gelateria and a little further from the lake, but seems like we dodged a bullet by coming here instead of the main cafe press based on their reviews! They sell wine by the glass or bottle, and have a small selection of local artisan beers. Each glass of wine was ~€5 and beer was ~€6. I loved the Riesling and Chardonnay, recommended by the shop owner. It was so crispy and refreshing with the fresh breeze from the lake and Swiss Alps behind us. The local beer was tasty as well but served from a bottle. Overall, definitely worth a visit! Great place in the afternoon to get a drink and take in the views of Menaggio!

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. I would come back again and again. One of the best hidden gems of Bellagio. Not pictured here, but order a salad with your pastas! We enjoyed the Mediterranean one and made our own dressing with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil table side. Amazing meal.

The most stunning cafe - your Italy trip is not complete without a visit here…read more The cafe is pretty tucked away from the bustle near the tram station. You have to walk ~15 minutes through a neighborhood and outlook point to get here (very pretty walk through a quiet street with villas that ends in a scenic view of the lake and Como). If you go during an off hour (we went around 4pm), it should be pretty quiet - it does pick up a lot more around meal times. Menu prices are affordable, especially considering the amazing views - just unmatched. The couple that runs the cafe is also super sweet and hardworking. We got a mocktail, gelato, and sorbet, and ended with some lasagna and pasta. I'd recommend the drinks and ice cream. Highly recommend you check this out!

I don't know how this place only has 4 reviews on here. This is by far the best dining experience…read moreI've ever had. This place is quaint, intimate, and has probably the best view of the lake ever. It was so fun taking the Funicular up to the top of the mountain and taking photos and just stopping IN AWE the whole route up there. The owner and his wife are so kind and hospitable. The food was unreal (we had the bruschetta, bolognese, and tiramisu) as was the wine. The music playing helped keep the ambiance romantic while the customer service made the experience unforgettable. My husband and I travelled here on our honeymoon and have said eating here was possibly one of the top 5 moments of our lives. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you Balcone Sul Lago!!!

The cafe is a very small storefront that we passed without noticing the first time, but once you walk in this place is anything but ordinary. We ordered the tasting menu, a bruschetta with anchovies and mozzarella, and a pucce (sandwich) with capicola and buratta. The sandwich was amazing, the buratta was so soft and paired amazingly with the capicola and olive oil. The bruschetta was amazing and the rest of the tasting menu was as well. The service was wonderful too, there was one person working and she checked in on us frequently and was overall very helpful. Overall this place is amazing and you should definitely check it out whenever you're in Como!

In this store they also have very tasty local honey and other specialities from the region of Ticino. Also great for gifts. They have different opening times depending on the season. In January and February, they are closed on Mondays. In the summer months, they are open also during lunchtime. It's only a short drive from popular tourist places like Locarno and worth a visit!

I rarely write reviews but this was by far the best restaurant we have eaten at in all of Como…read more We are staying at one of the top hotels on the lake and have been to 3 other fine restaurants and they don't hold a candle to this one. The food was fresh and light and the prices extremely fair. The staff was attentive and they gave us a tasing menu as we wanted to share everything. The eggplant appetizer melts in your mouth, the gnocchi was so smooth and the pork was excellent. I don't take pictures of food but I wish I did. Don't miss this place!!
