    We had a great early dinner here. Lots of cool decor and very cozy. Our waiter spoke Italian and English. Don't remember if there was a coperto. The menu was very colorful and unique. It's in Italian and English. The food was delicious. Lots of fresh pasta choices that are unique to the region. The sauces were delicious. Few good dessert choices. The hot chocolate suffle with gelato was an excellent choice.

    Right down the street from Bellagio water limousines and hotels, so anticipate tourist prices but certainly divine quality. Charming hand painted wine bottles of scenes around Como decorate the walls. We had a pleasant enough experience with our server, but another server seemed to be annoyed we were tourists. Tourists a stone's throw from the main drag of hotels and shops and the ferry? Go figure. Anyway, I would certainly return and no matter how full you think you are- try the tiramisu!!!!

    One of the best meals in lake como. Fresh delicious fresh pasta, friendly service and decent prices for bellagio. The tiramisu made in house was also amazing and creative. Highly recommend.

    The homemade lasagna with meat sauce was amazing, especially the meat sauce. The other pasta dishes, I felt like the homemade pasta was cooked a little too al dente for my taste. The hand drawn menu, the hand-painted wine bottles, the service, and the ambiance were all so charming!! (The cashier's dad hand painted all the wine bottle decor in the restaurant!)

    Great spot in Bellagio as you go up the stairs. A bit of a wait but it was worth it. Great food in the pastas and the lasagna and the icing on the cake with the tiramisu in a teapot. Pretty neat idea. Service was awesome and atmosphere was great! Would definitely come back!

    My family and I considered our dinner at La Lantera the best meal we had in Bellagio. A small menu done exceptionally well! Will definitely return!

    A very disappointing meal. While the location is cute the menu is very small. Pasta only! Okay no problem. I just knew of they only did one thing it would superb. WRONG ! It was terrible. Both do he's were flavorless and cold. There was literally no flavor. The vegetarian lasagna was especially bad. Cold and a giant pile of mush. The bean soup was at least hot but I have had much much better. Table bread was stale and hard. There was nothing good other than the sparkling water. There are literally dozens of other places so try one of them.

    By far our favorite meal in Lake Como/Bellagio! The pasta is all homemade and is absolutely delicious! We got the ravioli and lasagna! Friendly service and fast. The seating outside is limited but plenty inside. Absolutely recommend!

    Impressive menu art

    This place should be very very high on anyone's list in Bellagio Lake Como! The experience starts as you walk down or up the cobblestone alleyway where you'll see La Lanterna with the very cool outdoor seating where you can people watch (highly recommend) The artwork inside is super cool with the hand painted wine bottles that are available for purchase as well. The menu is very down to earth and pretty easy to navigate. The artwork is excellent and painted by the same artist who does the bottles told to us by the staff. Some of the best local, homemade pasta I had the entire trip! Enjoyed that with the limoncello spritz and called it a day! Amazing experience. (They do take credit cards, and there's a bathroom inside)

    Some of the best pasta I had in Italy! Not to mention speedy service and fun atmosphere.

    Visited July 20, 2023. Wow is all I have to say. Lunch here kicked off our experiences in Lake Como and I have nothing but positives to say. They only took cash when we went so this is something to potentially keep in mind, but a trip to the atm is worth it (plus the prices are super reasonable with gigantic portions). Service was great and everything moved smoothly. I got the pasta with chili oil and despite it being tons of food I had to eat every bite. Fresh pasta makes such a difference. If you find yourself in Bellagio definitely stop in for an amazing dining experience and for the sounds of Bob Marley grooving through the restaurant!

    Probably, the best meat lasagna & tiramisu I had on my trip to Italy. Hands down ! This restaurant is very pinturesque. A cozy, little nook in the busy but beautiful Bellagio. The hand written and drawing illustrations menu is adorable. The big sign outside "Only Fresh Pasta" tells the truth. Make your taste buds happy and give them a visit.

    Delicious meal! The caprese salad, eggplant Parmesan and tiramisu were especially delicious, but everything we ordered was great.

    Fresh pasta for relatively low prices, the best pesto I've ever had in my life, and bottle-lined walls decorating a cozy interior.

    Enjoyed our quick late lunch during our group tour…read more Been checking the restaurant reviews and menu ahead during our boat ride so we know what we will be ordering to save time. Waited 5-10 minutes for available seats and orders served within 15minutes. Lasagna - perfect ratio/balance of al dente pasta and rich meat sauce sauce. I can smell the aroma of baked cheese! Pasta Carbonara in Pistachio sauce - creamy delicious sauce poured over the Al dente pasta. Please have time to check the notes / policy posted in front before ordering. Highly recommended option when looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Bellagio.

    While in Bellagio, we found this little cafe tucked into an alley on the hill. We waited a few…read moreshort minutes to be seated and were tucked into a table outside. What a beautiful setting and the day was warm and sunny. We each ordered a glass of wine, and then scoured the menu, finally settling on a pasta dish for one, pizza for the other one, and Mr. Bee and I split a pizza. When in Italy one must have as much pizza as you can. Each is different, but never a bad one. I have to say, the pizza was the best we had on the trip. The crust was light and crunchy, but tender. The sauce was simple but incredible. The mushrooms and prosciutto were the icing on the pie. The service was friendly and fast. We absolutely loved our lunch at this little eatery.

    OH wasn't this a fun lunch during our time on Lake Como!…read more So undecided while actually in Como, we ended up just picking the nearest side-walk open restaurant... we picked well! Hosterietta was a lovely decision! We decided to sit outside on a day where Satan had obvious controls of the thermostat. They were kind enough not to judge me for wiping the sweat from my brow so I didn't drip in my food. They brought me a fresh towel... and then likely judged me harshly behind closed doors... sorry folks, bad American manners but it was HOT! FORTUNATELY, they have lovely massive umbrellas outside to sit under, and they helped immensely! They have a wonderful menu, both in Italian and English. They have very accommodating staff that are quick to tell / share of their favorite menu items (I love it when they do this!). I actually chose my meal based on their recommendation. Forgive me for not remembering what I ordered. I did start with a salad... heads-up folks, if you start with a "starter salad"... it is enough for an entire meal! They recommended wine. The four of us planned to split one bottle... as you all can imagine... that didn't happen... after a few glasses each, we all left with smiles on our faces!

    Lovely restaurant within the square. Food was very good. The ambience was lovely outside patio…read moreamong the square people watching and enjoying Italian life.
