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).

During my sister in laws 50th birthday trip to northern Italy we attempted as many gelato places as…read morepossible, sometimes 2 per day. Gelateria del Borgo is truly amazing and in our top 3 for the entirety of the trip. Usually very busy but the line moves quickly. Super nice staff and plenty of seating just across. Most gelatos in this part of Italy are more soft and airy this specific gelato is rich and creamy, almost wet. Pistachio is great, dark chocolate is awesome and unique flavors like Toblerone the family loved. Highly recommend. Make the walk to the top and don't have the tourist trap gelato at the bottom of the promenade here in Bellagio.

They do give you a nice amount of mixed nuts and a small sampling of olives or marinated feta with toast crisps with each order of beverages. Service was very professional and amiable. They serve quite a few ice creams and pastries as well.

There's usually a line, but it moves fast. One line to go in and one line coming out. Its located right across the ferry. They have seats and benches which was nice. The view is nice also as you get a direct view of the lake. I highly recommend this.

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.

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!
