We were starving after waking up at 6am and only eaten a snack. We did some research and found this place after my SO mentioned we didn't try any pizza yet. We came in at 2pm and they quickly seated us. We ordered a mushroom pizza and a prosciutto pizza. I was imagining these to be small so I also got a spaghetti with clams. Service was speedy and the food arrived as soon as we had ordered. All three items were okay. I was expecting to be wowed and didn't get that. It felt a bit better than frozen pizza and the spaghetti tasted very ordinary. We were a bit let down from the reviews. The food sufficed; not sure we would come back. read more

This was my favorite place to eat in Lake Como and one of my favorite for my trip to Italy. It was a short walk from our hotel so it was convenient. Staff was friendly and spoke both English and Italian. It had a good atmosphere. Just be willing to walk up or down steps depending which direction you are coming from. The food was amazing. There was a good variety so we wanted to try a few things. The pizza was delicious. The fresh ravioli with pesto had lots of flavor. The ingredients make a difference. We had tiramisu for dessert. It was my first time trying traditional Italian tiramisu. Loved it. I tried it at every restaurant in Italy after because it was so good here. I have not eaten it since coming back to the US. read more

It was just so-so. And our server was incredibly slow. Kind of a tourist trap for pizza. We ordered 3 pizzas -- the "Grotta", Valtellinese, and Davola. The pizzas don't come cut, so you have to ask them to cut into slices. The pizzas look great but the crust does not taste great, tastes like just-ok American pizza crust. The mussels were a huge disappointment. The spaghetti alla carbonara ended up being the best out of all the things we ordered. The menu has an English section in the back. The location is near the pier but you have to walk up cobblestone steps to get to the restaurant. It's pretty large inside and can accommodate quite a few people. read more

After a day of travel, we were a bit late to lunch. We entered La Grotta and were told the kitchen was closing soon so we needed to hurry if we wanted lunch. It was about 2:30pm. This place caught my eye because of their huge calzones so ordering was easy. We had the tomato, cheese and ham calzone. Huge it was! And also delicious. We split it which was a good choice. Service was good. Food was delicious. I even liked the cozy street that tucked this restaurant away from the crowds. Perfect lunch spot. read more

Bad service. Bad pizza. Waiter impolitely informed us that minimum 2 main courses are required. Pizza was bland with no taste.

We had a wonderful experience at La Grotta! The pesto ravioli and white pizza were simply delicious. So, was the negroni, local Forst beer, and crisp, white wine! read more

Very good food. Slow service- worth nothing, you must have a reservation. Greek salad is yummy, bread basket is terrible, chili pepper pasta is delicious and not a huge portion, the calzone is HUGE and can be divided into 3- also worth noting the restaurant uses gluten and none of their calzones are gluten free. Prices are good and food comes out hot Give it a try and let me know what you think read more

We popped in here without a reservation, and it did not disappoint! We started with a great bottle of Chardonnay along with the mussels and greek salad. Both of the appetizers were simple but delicious! The great thing about this place is the gluten free pizza menu, which was a hit with the party I came with! We ordered one regular pizza, one gluten free pizza, and the pasta arrabbiata. The pizzas were delicious, but huge, so be sure to share as neither of us could finish our own. The pasta was a perfect portion. Definitely some of the best pizza I've ever had! read more

We brought our kids and grandson to this restaurant. The food and service was outstanding. We had two types of pizza, seafood pasta (medium spicy), calzone, lasagne... the food was great. The desert tiramisu was ok. Two bottles of wine - nice! The pricing was good. read more

There was a wait when we got there, but it moved quickly. We got our pizzas fast and they were delicious. Beautiful interior and if you get lucky you might get to sit outside on the cobblestone alleyway. read more

We ended getting take away 3x during our stay in Bellagio bc 1) the food was really good, 2) it was kind of like a hidden gem and had a very local feel, and 3) service was great (free ON TAP prosecco while waiting!) We tried the following: *Spaghetti alle vongole €13 *Gnocchi neri al salmone €13 Calzone Farcito €10.50 *Margherita €7 Pizzoccheri (local buckwheat pasta) €12.50 *Grilled Trout w/ french fries €14 *Tiramisu (homemade) €5 Wasn't really feeling the Calzone or Pizzoccheri, but everything else was solid and would definitely order again... Also, I think the owner recognized me by my 3rd visit (in 2 days) bc I noticed a €2 discount (sconto) on my receipt. Grazie Mille! :) read more

Delicious food with a simple but charming ambiance. The staff is busy but still accommodating. We had delicious pizzas here yesterday and came back again today for pasta. I had the spinach and ricotta raviolitini with basil sauce - absolutely yummy. Hubby had spaghetti amatriciana which he gave good reviews. We will return here on our next visit to Bellagio. read more

After 4 days in Bellagio I started to realize that the whole village is pretty but also pretty much geared towards tourists and with the bland overpriced restaurants that go with it. In general, I would classify La Grotta also as a tourist trap but after trying several other restaurants I believe this is one of the better ones, hence the rating. They are more moderately priced and what you get for your buck is more than fair. We had the spaghetti a la vongole (with clams) and the grilled swordfish. Both dishes were honest and tasty. The quality of the food was better than the higher priced restaurants in Bellagio. The service was no-nosense: quick but friendly. Another huge plus is that their restaurant is airconditioned which is not a given in Bellagio. I would come again if I were to land in Bellagio again. read more

La Grotta - Grilled swordfish and veggies - Pizza Near Me - Bellagio, LC

A quaint restaurant located a little off the beaten path halfway up between the two main roads. We were looking for lunch and stopped in here based on the reviews. We ordered pizza -me the Almafina (Buffalo mozzarella and cherry tomatoes) and my wife got the pizza with Parmesan cheese, tomatoes and rocket (arugula); wine and water rounded out the meal. Having. Even I. Italy now for 10+ days, this meal was just average. My pizza was a bit under cooked and the tomatoes lacked the vibrancy of some of the other places we had pizza. Service was good and their menus are printed in four languages to help or the tourists, although there were a number of locals. Prices were a bit higher than other pizza places in part due to higher cover charge-34€ for two pizza, water and two glasses of wine. read more

Margarita and La Grotta Pizzas are baked just right, chewy/crispy crust is delizioso. Very reasonable prices. Americano was reasonable compared to other restaurants. Nice and strong. It's away from the touristy crowds along the lakeside, but still very English friendly. Definitely a better mood. read more

We had the most amazing lunch here while in Bellagio. I still dream about my spaghetti alle vongole...I can still smell it as it arrived and it is literally the best pasta dish I have ever had in my life. When I return to Bellagio (yes, when NOT if), this will be a definite first stop as I will need more of their deliciousness. Simple, fresh, well executed and friendly service. I guess this is how they earned their excellence award from tripadvisor! So glad we found it! read more

They make absolutely delicious pizzas and the staff and owner are friendly and kind - I've been here every time I've visited lago do como

A hidden gem away from the tourist traffic, well, if there is such a thing at Bellagio, but the vibe here is distinctly more local flavor. Their specials are all great, from the simple spaghetti with garlic and pepper, to spaghetti vongole, gigantic calzone, pepper steak, risotto with fried perch (como dish), everything is great. And the craft beers! read more

Hidden away on the stairs leading up from the Bellagio ferry terminal, this is well worth the hike up the steps. The first thing I noticed when I went in was the delightful aromas. Clean, fresh, and appetizing. Service was prompt and efficient. We got spaghetti carbonara, linguine pesto (basil), and Parma ham pizza. All were delicious and reasonably priced. It's a busy place and I can see why. Come early for dinner if you don't want to wait in line. And then there's the Forst Pils on tap - a perfect accompaniment. It's an Italian Pilsner that's worthy of being called a pilsner. read more

Fabulous hidden gem!! Off the beaten path, up steep narrow steps, but totally worth the climb! Husband and daughter had pizza with delicious thin crispy crust, perfectly seasoned marinara and cheese! I had the Spaghetti Carbonara which was perfectly creamy and homemade pasta, and not too cheesy which most I have are! Absolutely amazing! About to get Pana Cotta which I have no doubt it will not disappoint! read more

Very unassuming for Bellagio, but the food was delicious! I had the grilled swordfish, which was a huge portion and tasted really fresh. My husband ordered the salmon gnocchi and ate every bite. We split the grilled veggies, which were tasty as well. read more

If you had enough of pasta, go with the trout as it was very tasty with the capers. Pizza was pretty good too

We had a good lunch here. Relatively inexpensive as well. We ordered a Greek salad and a pizza bufalina. The Greek salad was great! The pizza was very good. However, because both dishes were brought out at the same time, our pizza got a bit cold towards the end. I'll be sure to specify when not ordering a primi and a second next time. Quick service. Atmosphere is fine. read more

This restaurant is AMAZING - one of the best meals we had in our two weeks in Italy. I had the homemade tagliatelle alla boscaiola, which had a creamy tomato sauce with locally sourced mushrooms. My husband had the penne all' arrabbiata, which he loved as well. The service was wonderful, and the pricing was very reasonable. This place is a must if you are in the Bellagio area. read more

What an amazing little place! Fantastic service from all of the staff. Very friendly and patient with us Americans. We ordered several pizzas and they were all delicious. The mushrooms aren't the best but there meats are tasty and their crust is excellent. Very buttery flavor and perfect crispness. We had an awesome breeze and found it very quaint. The mussels appetizer was plenty for multiple people to share and they were excellent. And they have great WiFi; we watched a semifinal World Cup match on my iPad with no problem. Excellent place, not crowded and outstanding service. read more

Not just pizza. The gnocchi was delicious and the pasta was incredible (seriously, incredible), and the calzone was enormous. We were recommended to go here by a local. It is on a side street and was less crowded than the restaurants on the main streets, and man oh man was it good!! read more

Pizza is good, but spaghetti was not super great. I feel like I wasted my money. I've had far better elsewhere in Italy. On the bright side, the servers are really nice and they brought us free prosecco read more

Very nice atmosphere and good service. The pizza was ready in ~5minutes. I ordered a sausage, mushroom, and black olive pizza. It was good except the sausage was not Italian sausage like I expected. It appeared and tasted something like an American wiener sliced up. They told me it was German sausage. If the pizza had of been made with authentic Italian sausage, it would have been better. Also, I don't think this is a €€€ price class. I think it's maybe €€. I took a photo of the menu and the price of most of the pizza is less than 10€. My bill came to 16€. read more

Our AirBnB landlord gave only a so-so recommendation for La Grotta, but we ended up there with the family after being too late for the other recommendations. The experience was so good, we went back two more times. Atmosphere, setting, and service were all among the best of our two weeks in Northern Italy. Antipasto and Pesto were fresh and very tasty (our 2-year old grandson attacked the Pesto Trionfo Pasto with forks in both hands! All seating is indoors, and spacious enough to accommodate all guests while it was raining. read more

La Grotta was away from the Lake which was a negative (but I won't hold that against them). The restaurant was well decorated and the service was outstanding. My minimal Italian was appreciated and accepted. Upon first glance I was slightly worried about the food, because the bread provided with the meal was horribly stale. However, the rest of the food was the best Italian I have had in my 3 week stay in Italy (in terms of Classic Italian, it doesn't relate to experimental cuisine). Also the bill for two pasta dinners and alcohol was about $40, which I consider good for Bellagio. My wife had the seafood pasta and I had the gnocchi and salmon. Her's was great, but the gnocchi outdid anything that I tasted in Sorrento or Napoli. They were also very nice about the bill! Took cards and a discount that I had previously forgot to mention. Don't hate on the use of coupons, it came with the hotel under there recommendation. read more
