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.

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!!

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.

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. Stop by for a quiet and delicious lunch in the busy little lakeside village of Bellagio.

They said "of course!" We sat in the far inner corner next to their cellar and it was so fun to see all the bottles they had back there. Felt like we were in a cool cave. I got a caprese and the cheese was so good that I almost fell out of my chair. This was the beginning of a love affair between me and Italian mozzarella. My husband got lasagna and really liked it. The wine list was mostly local wines, which I love. We got a tasting of 3 wines to share so we could get a sense for the local flavor. They were all in the correct glasses for their styles of wine, which I respect. They talked about each for about 30 seconds, poured generous portions, then left us to enjoy. We ended up getting an outside table around 20 min in and they moved us outside. It was awesome! The staff is fun and it's just a beautiful place to exist.
