Then spent our entire anniversary dinner watching a private party of "preferential" guests enjoy the terrace we'd reserved. Nothing says "special occasion" like being visibly deprioritized in favor of another party where there were at least 5-8 tables open on the terrace. A heads-up email would have gone a long way. The food was fine, but I've had this exact meal in New York without being treated like a second-class guest. If you're coming for the view, know that "confirmed" apparently means "unless someone better shows up.

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.

Each dish was split, absolutely delicious all around. Oh & don't forget the tiramisu for dessert, followed by a cappuccino & finally limoncello.

Our hotel helped to book us a reservation here for dinner on a Monday night, and the restaurant was honestly quite busy for a weekday evening! Definitely would recommend making a reservation if you can to avoid potential waits. I started with the pasta chef style (with bacon, tomato sauce, cream, and parmesan cheese) and my fiance had the steamed rice with sautéed fish fillets. Both first courses were great, and I loved the creamy tomato sauce with my pasta! Then, we shared the veal chop milanese which came with a side of green beans -- this was really good! My one gripe was that there were a bunch of ants everywhere on the floor right around our table which made the experience a bit unpleasant as I was partially focused on not stepping on the ground too much while sitting for the meal.

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.

It's literally tucked away between those lovely cobblestone hills. I walked past La Dolce Vita while I was doing some sightseeing in Bellagio and had to circle back around. The staff was so warm and welcoming. The setup was a cozy and intimate white table cloth affair. They sat me behind the kitchen and I had a wonderful view of the chef prepping the orders. Pizza, pizza, pizza! This is why you should come here. And for the wine of course too! I can't forget about that... (wink wink). They have an extensive list of pizza combinations here which made it even tougher for me because they all sounded fantastic. Ended up going with their Diavola pizza which consists of mozzarella and spicy salami with tomato sauce. I had a glass of Chianti Classico to wash it all down with. When this pizza made it to my table, I could feel my face light up in pure joy. It looked so gorgeous and smelled even better! AND... you wanna know something else?! It tasted FANTASTIC! So much so that I ate the entire thing even though I was desperately full only halfway through. But when in Italy... ya know. You just gotta do that sh!t! But anyways, back to that pizza. It was marvelous. The perfect amount of cheese, meat, sauce, and even grease! I loved how thin it was. I was definitely using a fork and knife to slay this baby, and I can't even remember a time when I've done that before. The flavors were just.... Mmmmm. Italians... yep. They know how to do pizza right. Can we talk about the crust?! Might have honestly been the best part for me. It was thin, crispy, and buttery all at the same damn time. Hallelujah! I must have devoured the whole thing in lightening speed because once I was done I couldn't believe that my plate was empty. La Dolce Vita slayed the hell out of that pizza. Nom nom nom! This was easily one of my favorite dining experiences whilst Italy. The food was amazing but the service and ambience just made everything ten times better. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for great pizza with exemplary service is Bellagio.

Although it was pushing past 8pm and a lot of restaurants have closed by then, we stumbled upon La Dolce Vita, which was also recommended by our Airbnb host. We walked in and asked if there was availability. Initially we were turned down, but soon another staff member said they could accommodate us with a bit of a wait! We were seated in less than 30 mins and it was very worth it after our failed first dinner. We ordered a bunch of pasta dishes (carbonara, pesto, ragu, seafood h and a steak and grilled octopus for protein. All the pastas were very good and cooked perfectly; my favorite was def the pesto. The seafood pasta had an interesting shape and it was pretty fun to eat. They were also really generous with their portion sizes and the amount of seafood and meat they served in each dish. I wanted to love the octopus but I felt like the purée served with it didn't complement it well enough, but the octopus itself was cooked perfectly! Service was great. They came out with the dishes really quick and they were very accommodating! This was probs one of my best meals at lake como and highly recommend checking this place out.

Eggplant was decent but a little dated in plating. Nest was not cold or warm and the "perfectly cooked egg" as described was undercooked by a lot. Clear uncooked egg white. Fish of the day was good but they included a component that was on the allergens we informed them of. Also the veges were overstated by a lot. Pork dish was tasty, but just two bites. This was sold as a secondi. 40 euro for two bites of essentially a meatball, and it was smaller than even an appetizer should be. Ridiculous. This smelled of a chef in love with his "creativity and training" and not thinking about the customer. Change the chef. I would gladly pay these prices for better portions and more importantly better execution
