Easily the best wine and charcuterie restaurant in all of Bellagio. Set in a 300 yr old cellar…read moreoriginally used to store snow for keeping food preserved but now is a perfect wine cellar with great ambiance. Best to make a reservation hours or 1 day in advance to get the better table in the back room surrounded by wine racks. Matteo was amazing with expert knowledge in all available wines and very fun demeanor and very attentive service. We ended up purchasing many bottles of wine (that we had tasted through their numerous wine tasting menu) and had them shipped back to the States right on site. If you like wine paired with amazing meats and cheeses, this is undoubtedly the place to go. Also recommended by all the locals we interacted with. Enjoy!!

But overall my wife and I had a great time, recommend it and would go back this summer to enjoy a meal on their terrasse. We started with the capacolla dried tomato starter, essentially dried ham on tomato and basil bruchetta. We then got the argentinean beef filet complemented with spicy potatoes and the corn sealed tuna served with potatoes and spinach. Both impeccable, good quality beef, tuna slightly grilled on both side while preserving the flavors. The staff recommended the Malbec barricas del plata, which is apparently a wine produced by the in-laws of a staff member. As you can expect from Malbec, impressions of dark fruits on the nose - light tannins..not bad at all - for the anecdote i was going to take a bottle home (you can buy it to go for 35chf).We finished with a scoop each of their home made gelato.. honestly we were not hungry anymore - this was purely out of self indulgence - and to wrap up a great meal the right way. Dont hesitate - try it!

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.

We enjoyed the Mediterranean one and made our own dressing with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil table side. Amazing meal.

Simply the best! This is probably the best restaurant we tried in Bellagio. We tried a lot. The…read moremenu is limited and take note the kitchen closes at 6 pm but you can still order wine until 7 pm. They are located in a secluded alley hiding from the throngs of tourists. It's a small operation that does it right. I had the most incredible bruschetta of my life. A white buffalo style creamy cheese layered on toasted bread with fresh, red full flavored tomatoes. This is not the traditional version but order it. Their wild boar pasta was excellent along with the cacio and pepe pasta. The pasta was cooked to perfection. The service was good, kind owner, cutest location and small menu is delicious. How this is flying under the radar I'm shocked. We ate at some of the highly touted restaurants and were underwhelmed by other reviewers recommendations. I loved, loved this small, precious and special little gem.

The red wine was local, with the same grape made for Barollo but with a different soil leading to a similar but different taste and it was magnificent. I had one glass, switched to a Chardonnay recommended by the waiter, which I enjoyed but preferred the first glass so I switched back for my third. All in all after four glasses of wine and a bottle to go the bill came to 94 euro, which I felt was reasonable. Each glass comes with a small snack. When I'm back in Varenna I will be back here.
