Wine Bar Aperitivo Et Al — Restaurant in Bellagio

We visited this place in our short 2 days stay in Belagio. We wanted to have an authentic Italian wine experience and this place confirmed this for us.

Let me start with the place having a vast variety of wines. The place also has deals of 3 different wine tasting at specific prices, etc.

We ordered 2 completely different wines (one sweet and one dry). We asked the waiter for their cheese suggestion and we saw that the waiter didn't hesitate to tell us that they are two completely different wines, and that is why we wanted to have a cheese/salami plattern that could cover our needs for both wines. In the end the waiter brought us the wines/plattern, immediately informing us about the history of the wines and the cheeses, such as age maturity, how long the wine was left in an oat barrel, etc.

Overall the place smells of good vibes, amazing food and 2 waiters that know their job perfectly. Overall I would go there with no hesitation 10 more times if I had the time to.

Definetely worth visiting, with the place being a very Italian style place within the off-the...

This wine bar in Bellagio was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff were warm, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We returned a second night and were welcomed back with enthusiasm, despite a late hour.

The selection of wines is really great, especially the local ones. During the first visit I did the local wine tasting for the whites, and each glass was superb. What I appreciated was the introduction to each glass of wine as it was presented to me, and this was not unique to the tasting - my friends had the same treatment for any bottle they ordered.

The interior felt comfortable, and had a quaint Italian feel overall. There was a wine closet in the back that was well stocked (as was the wine at the bar). With our order we received a dish of homemade treats to go with it.

If you visit my best recommendation is to try the sparkling...

Best wine bar in Bellagio! We sat outside on the barrel tables and watched the sunshine and people walking past while having our wine and bar snacks. The wine list is extensive and clearly chosen with care, great local wines with a a good selection available by the glass. The staff advise and tell you about the wine, and you are given (free) finger food alongside your drink (mini salami sandwich, mini bruschetta, crisp bread) as part of the the aperitivo experience! I learned that the finger food served alongside your drinks are called “stuzzichini”.

We loved it so much we came back a second night for a pre-dinner drink. Try and get one of the barrel tables outside if you can. Many people bought a glass of wine to have while queuing for the very popular trattoria opposite! Definitely my favourite place...
