During the few days we spent in Lake Como, we visited Gelateria del Borgo TWICE which should tell…read moreyou just how much we loved this place! Definitely our favorite out of the ones we tried in the area. This gelato spot is very centrally located amongst all the other small shops and restaurants in Bellagio and even if there's a line, it moves quick! The hazelnut (nocciola) is a MUST TRY as it literally tastes like a Ferrero Rocher in gelato form. We enjoyed other flavors as well including the cherry (amarena).

You know you are in the right place when two Italian guys greet you with smiling faces ready to let you try their gelato! The pistachio and coconut were our top choices. They let you try samples as well which is always a telling factor about a place in como. (a lot of the places in Bellagio do not allow samples and look very non homemade) Again, Don't hesitate - when in Italy eat all the Gelato you can and definitely stop here to enjoy by the waterfront!

I visited Rome, Florence, Venice, and Lake Como. If you were to tell me that the best Gelato I'd…read morehave the entire trip was off of Lake Como, I'd slap you across the face. Lake Como had some of the most overpriced, overrated food but that was expected. You do not pay for the food, you pay for the view. We were on a private boat tour with our great guide Luca when he recommended we stop in Lenno for gelato. We stopped at La Fabbrica del Gelato and it was truly out of this world. The servers were so kind to give us their best reccs, and I am glad we sought their advice. From the texture, to the natural flavors, I was blown away at how good it was. This is a 5/5 hidden gem in a place where you do not expect great cuisine, and it was surely the surprise of our trip.

Solid gelato; but definitely not worth the crazy lines. And because they're so insanely busy, they…read moredon't let you taste flavors, they rush you, and be incredibly rude at times. I personally liked Gelab Gelataria and Gelato Crea Lake Como better, because of the gelato quality and being all natural. Andddd way shorter lines because they're not over hyped! In any case, if you do come when lines are short, get 3 flavors at once, and in a cup because their gelato is watery and melts FAST! I liked pistachio, stracciatella, and their caramel hazelnut. My friends liked their vanilla and peach. I admit there's better gelato elsewhere - even in and out of Italy. But sure, this is definitely the most popular spot in Como and near the water. I actually think that's why it's got the longest lines. Location, not quality.

So there I was about to leave this place a nasty 2 stars, feeling ripped off and in search of…read morebetter ice cream, when I realised I'd actually been to the wrong place! You see, due to a navigation (GPS) problem I was told I had reached my destination outside another place with a gelateria sign above. The place seemed to have no name so I figured it was the right place. The ice cream there was pretty lame, and although cheap, it was not satisfying. So I decided to drive further up the road when I saw the REAL gelateria La Carapina on my left. Now this place looked way better. And it was. 5 stars better actually. So a bit of background here. It's March and not really tourist season, so there aren't that many people around these parts at the moment. I've walked and driven through villages and not seen any people. And now I know why. They are all either queuing to buy ice cream here, or sitting outside this place eating it! I am glad I drove the 15km to get here. It was TOTALLY worth it! And I have just finished a week touring Italy so I know my ice cream! If you're in Lake Como, wherever you are staying, find a way to get to Gravedona and have ice cream at La Carapina. Seriously, just do it! :)

We have been coming here for years - and this place has always delivered:…read more The gelateria is in beautiful Gravedona, and outside threre are many comfortable benches overlooking the lake. The ice cream is divine, and served to you by people who are always nice, patient, and cheerful. It can be crowded at La Carapina sometimes, but I have never managed to be upset about that. When I have my ice cream, nothing gets to me ;-)

This place was hopping as I walked by so I was pretty sure it had to be good and it did not disappoint! I snagged a small pistachio bar for mom, who demolished it! For me I went with the fior di latte, which translates to flower of milk. In English, we could potentially equate this with our saying of "cream of the crop." It was a flavor that I had never experienced before, not milk per se, but also not vanilla. At any rate, it was delicious. I only hope I can find it again outside of Italy and relive the experience.
