    Made it to Bellagio today and walking around we spotted this restaurant. We waited later to go for dinner and when we arrived at 7:30pm there was already a line. They don't take reservations. We were seated within a few minutes and the service was quick and helpful. We started with a salad and the hidden gems were the olives. Awesome flavor. We had risotto and pasta, the portions were large and the food was great. They do have a vast menu and we decided before we finished that we would have dinner again there before our trip was finished. Make sure you stop by and give them a try and enjoy!

    Partnership, kinda confused as as we thought it was both places in one but they are two separate locations and food

    It was a decent little place in Bellagio. It was averagely priced for most items and a little high for others. It was better than most of the other restaurants price wise as it was more toward the back top of the hill and we pass most of the touristy restaurants on purpose. The only thing that I found out after was the partner menu for Baba Yaga which is the burger/steak/pizza location has better pizzas from the look of their pictures and slightly cheaper. I was believing it to be those but more traditional round versus the artisan style but that could have changed as those pictures are older. Not a bad thing but the pizzas were average for being in Italy and would have been nice to know they were not the same business. I will say that the bad reviews online are kind of misleading for the pizzas but that's because I picked up on the "issue" earlier on from other restaurants. The Margarita pizza is the traditional mozzarella/sauce cheese pizza we know as a standard cheese pizza at most of the restaurants. It does vary on which part of Italy and the restaurant, so I started asking if it was the standard cheese or the dollops of mozzarella and basil leaves. Most wait staff understood and made it very easy by stating more like the American cheese pizza. This restaurant's closest thing to the Neapolitan Pizza Margherita looked to be the Solare pizza with basil sauce, tomatoes, and mozzarella. None of the family ordered any main pasta dishes so I could not speak to any of those bad reviews.

    Great location to the Dante Square! Staff friendly! They speak English pretty well so didn't need to figure out what we're ordering! We had bruschetta, mixed green salad and Lasagna! Bruschetta was very tasty but needed more olive oil(which was available), the mixed green salad was big enough to share and it was very fresh, finally the lasagna was made to perfection! The pasta was cooked just right, not too mushy or el dente! Had the perfect amount of sauce! There's a covered charge of two euros per person! Didn't get anything for the charge, everything was extra! It's cheaper to drink wine or beer than water!

    Food was pretty good. We did think it was weird that when we ordered the house wine we were given thicker, smaller glasses when other people got nicer wine glasses. It definitely was sort of a bummer. The setting was pretty.

    Not sure why there are so many negative reviews, we had a great experience! Lots of outdoor seating in a quiet area. We visited for lunch and had to wait for a table. My husband had one of the specials and loved it, while I had a fantastic pizza.. in fact, it was probably my favorite pizza in Lake Como! We'll be back when we return on our next trip!

    "Magherita"...where is the basil..

    Don't bother coming here, very confused by all the positive TripAdvisor reviews. We came because it was one of the few places still open late. First off, they didn't cut any of our pizzas at all. Our knives were not sharp, it was a lot of work to eat them. Also, my margherita pizza had no basil. There were maybe a few sprinkles of dry basil - wow. Service was non existent and they kept pointing to the sign of closing time. We ate a very quick meal in less than an hour. Why take us as diners if you are closing? We even arrived much earlier than closing time. Our server was outside busy flirting with a girl. Skip this spot and go a tad further down for other options.

    Marinara pizza with mozzarella (huge!) & spaghetti with tomato & basil

    This restaurant was one of the only 5 restaurants that were open on Bellagio on Monday, 11/4/2013. Unfortunately, this is the low season for this lake-side town, so most shops were closed, and almost all the eateries were closed too. :( How sad! Keep this in mind as you determine when to visit Lake Como. It actually rained during the time we were at Bellagio, so we managed to walk by this restaurant and decided "this was where we'll get lunch". No particular reason why we came in; it was more like -- this is one of our only options. haha :( Cozy inside, and there was free wi-fi for customers. Waiters were quite friendly. We ordered: (1) Marinara pizza with mozzarella 6.50 euro - this pizza was HUGE (but thin). See the photo for details; it was shaped like a football field and almost the width of the table. haha... (2) Spaghetti with tomato and basil 7.50 euro - my husband ordered this and thought it was fine, pretty basic pasta. (3) House red wine 2.5 euro (4) Water is 3 euro (expensive! can you believe wine is more expensive than water?) I'd have to say our meal was decent - we would rate it 3-3.5 stars for the items we ordered, and when we compare it to some of the other restaurants we dined at during our Italian trip. There was an outlet near our table, so I could charge my phone (yay!).

    Pozzo Pasta - the only one anchovy ever present
    Kari S.

    We came here because it looked that this was the one of the few places that were opened around 3:30pm. They get 3 stars for service but the food was below par. I had the Pozzo pasta that had anchovies as the first ingredient and there was one anchovy present. There was a lot of bacon that made the pasta a little salty. Otherwise, the pasta was cooked perfectly. My husband had the lasagne and he wasn't sure what kind of cheese was in there, but it wasn't ricotta. Afterwards, we both wanted to eat something elsewhere to wash out the taste that we both left it. We as world travelers fell for a completely touristic place that serves poor quality meals.

    Food is good. Reasonably priced. One restroom only. Got seated fairly quick. Attentive servers.

    Ok. Many restaurants in Bellagio are off the many stairs in the area. Small and intimate but full…read moreof experiences. We saw La Lanterna on our first night thought we have to give it a try while we were here. The next night we walked by and the was a table outside in the stairs. OK, it does not talk much to excite us but this was awesome. Enjoying our meal while watching people walk by and walk by. A lot of people walk by and look et you. So if you are self conscious ask to sit inside. They have a basic menu of pasta and at first we thought, "this will not be enough food." It was plenty and so flavorful. In our four weeks of travel in Italy and Greece, this was my most memorable and tasty meal. No hesitation. Just a cute little restaurant with a great eating experience.

    Date of visit: May 27, 2025…read more We had a couple of hours to explore Bellagio and my fellow Yelpers recommended this place and they were right to do so! Just barely beating the rush, we were given a lovely table inside and could enjoy the artsy decor--loved the flat wine bottle art, just wish it wasn't so expensive. 60 euros with the current exchange rate is a bit much especially that I was wary of being able to get it home safely! My mom went with the minestrone and she raved about it the rest of the trip! I dipped some of my bread in it and agree that it was quite good and that's not normally a soup I care for. The rest of us somehow all got lasagna and most of us enjoyed it, though one of the group found it too "creamy." I would agree that I do like a bit more mozzarella on my lasagna, but that could also be an American thing and not "authentic." Really the only negative here was having to go all the way downstairs to pay my bill. The restaurant isn't very big yet it was not the easiest journey and the wait down there was a bit long. Otherwise a great experience!

    Enjoyed our quick late lunch during our group tour…read more Been checking the restaurant reviews and menu ahead during our boat ride so we know what we will be ordering to save time. Waited 5-10 minutes for available seats and orders served within 15minutes. Lasagna - perfect ratio/balance of al dente pasta and rich meat sauce sauce. I can smell the aroma of baked cheese! Pasta Carbonara in Pistachio sauce - creamy delicious sauce poured over the Al dente pasta. Please have time to check the notes / policy posted in front before ordering. Highly recommended option when looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Bellagio.

    While in Bellagio, we found this little cafe tucked into an alley on the hill. We waited a few…read moreshort minutes to be seated and were tucked into a table outside. What a beautiful setting and the day was warm and sunny. We each ordered a glass of wine, and then scoured the menu, finally settling on a pasta dish for one, pizza for the other one, and Mr. Bee and I split a pizza. When in Italy one must have as much pizza as you can. Each is different, but never a bad one. I have to say, the pizza was the best we had on the trip. The crust was light and crunchy, but tender. The sauce was simple but incredible. The mushrooms and prosciutto were the icing on the pie. The service was friendly and fast. We absolutely loved our lunch at this little eatery.
