Five star food, five star experience, and five star view located in Bellagio. For lunch, they are only open from 1230-1400 and we got so lucky that there was a seat for 2 available (we emailed them 1 hour before opening). If local Italians eat here, you know it’s a good, authentic restaurant. We were sat upstairs close to the big window and had a wonderful view of the lake.

We each ordered the Lake Fish Tasting Menu that comes with: -Starter with four small bites: fried crunchy fish ball, fried fish fillet, Lake Fish mousse, and marinated Lake Fish -Main course: Risotto with Lake Fish -Second course: Lake Como White fish breaded and grilled -Dessert: Lemon Sorbet The price (in July 2024) was 42 euros per person and it was a great deal for all the food included. We also enjoyed a bottle of refreshing white wine which I didn’t get the name of.

We heard about this restaurant from the Netflix show called Dogs, featuring Ice, a Golden Retriever who helped his owner fish in Lake Como. We were heartbroken to hear from the owner’s daughter, Gaia, that Ice had passed a few months ago at 15 years old. There were lots of pictures of him all over the restaurant which was so awesome to see!

If you are visiting Bellagio, I highly recommend eating here for authentic seafood. Make sure to get a reservation beforehand Shout out to Gaia and Daniella for the wonderful service and providing us with a great experience!
