Not sure how we got so luck to grab the outdoor seat at the amazing location and super cute little wine bar. They are located right at the top of the stairs in bellagio and literally have the best view. We just stopped for a glass of wine but they brought out little finger sandwiches and crackers. So sweet. One of the highlights of our trip. If you can grab those seats slow down and enjoy your surroundings for a bit. You won't regret it! The inside looked super cute too.
After more than a week in Italy, my wife was dying. She needed a salad and had been unable to find anything resembling an actual American veggie haul. I discovered Aperitivo Et al had not only salad, but one with avocado on it. My wife, nearly terminal from a lack of vegetables and avocado, jumped at the chance to be reunited with some of her favorite foods. Watch your step on the way in. There's a step down as you enter that literally everyone misses. (Cue Ned Ryerson.) Once inside, we were seated quickly. We enjoyed wine from a large menu and my wife scarfed down that salad. "The avocado's a little hard," she muttered. I stared at her with my husbandly death ray and she realized that avocado beggars cannot be avocado choosers in the land of all carbs. Aperitivo Et al is a tiny, cozy place where you can enjoy lots of different wines. I would have given it five stars, except the table next to us featured a husband and wife who were letting their 6-year-old child watch a football game at full volume on a cell phone. 1. Don't bring your 6-year-old to a wine bar. That's just stupid. 2. If you do bring your 6-year-old to a wine bar, give him a coloring book or a comic book. Don't give him your phone. 3. If you insist on giving your son your phone, give him headphones. Some of us are trying to drink and/or enjoy tough avocado on lettuce. I subtract a star because the Aperitivo Et al staff should have thrown broken glass at that family until they left. Instead, the audio assault continued throughout our visit. The boy seemed very excited about the game, which I suppose is nice, because his idiot parents seemed rather tense with one another. After they divorce, I wonder who will get custody of that loud-ass cell phone.
Small wine bar located at the top of the steps in bellagio. We went during off season but reservations are recommended if you want to ensure a seat. They have some tables and spots at the bar. There's a large wine list of 50 that you can taste and charge is dependent on the pour size. I got to sample some really delicious Italian reds such as barbaresco. We shared an assortment of 6 Italian cheeses and they were all so delicious. They do provide some bread for the table and have a clean restroom for customer use. There's an actual wine shop located in the back that's in a cave. I watched another couple get a private tasting of some wines in there, not sure if they made a reservation but they did come out purchasing bottles. They offer shipping anywhere so it's an option if you have too much to carry. Not sure how expensive it will be though.
We were a little tired of the big elaborate Italian restaurant meals and wanted something easier and less formal. We found this place online here and decided to given them a try. In addition to having over 40 different wines by the glass and a large menu, they also offer some interesting food/wine pairings options. Just in case, we stopped in while out getting gelato and made a reservation (Italian restauranteurs always appreciate when you do). We arrived at 7:30 for our reservation and got a great corner table in this small but cozy air conditioned restaurant-very comfortable. Our waiter, Andrea (also a sommelier) was so very helpful explaining the various options and choices in English. We opted for a wine tasting -3 half- glasses of Brunello, the local Nebbiolo and finally Amarone. With each wine he stopped by and talked about the wine, the vintage and vinification process just like at a winery. We ordered a cheese plate and The local pasta for food and Andrea selected the cheeses that would best pair with our wines-they are serious about food & wine here-all excellent choices. With the pasta we tried the local Nebbiolo from the high mountain Valtellina region and saved the last of our Amarone to enjoy with grandmas chocolate cake-so good. This is a must visit for anyone who enjoys food and wine. The staff is so very helpful and it is not at all stuffy. Since they are also a wine store, they can ship wine home to the USA if you find something you enjoy. Several of the wines we tried were produced in very small quantities (like 2,000 bottles) and these guys have a few cases of these very limited wines (and a couple of fewer bottles now in their collection ;) Top notch experience overall. Highly recommended.
If this is the bar that Bellagio has to offer...sigh. After reading numerous reviews, my friend and I settled on coming here. We had read somewhere that it turns into a lively bar atmosphere at night. Come 8PM, the place was dead. Also, I'm not sure how the atmosphere could be anything but quaint and cozy given the layout of the restaurant. The food was edible, but even our waitress said nothing was made on-site. The pasta tasted as though it was heated up in a microwave. The house wine was really good and the place was affordable, but that's about it. The service was really friendly and there's free wi-fi.
Upon first glance you think this is just a wine bar/store, which it is, but go in and have a seat for a fresh simple menu that pairs well with the assortment of Italian regional wines this store carries. Oh my trip to Rome, Milan and Lake Como, I must say Aperitivo Et al managed to make the most flavourful lasagna. Fresh tomato sauce with slow cooked meat nestled between soft layers of tender pasta and ricotta cheese. This was so light, almost airy, I could have ate 2. A must try- you don't even have to be hungry to get this- make a good snack!
A fabulous wine bar and shop in Bellagio. We were walking up the steps towards the shops and ran into this place. We were on the look out for something small for lunch. The menu here has lots of small plates along with other main courses and, we decided to pop in a check it out. It's small and cosy and the service is first class. They speak great English here and were quite good at recommending things from the menu and the wine list. If you want a house wine or a top rated Italian wine you are likely to find it here. They also have a lot of wines from the Lombardy region and great cold climate Italian wines. We shared a large cold plate for lunch and a small ruccola / Parmesan salad. The cold plate had some fabulous cold meats and cheese. Loved it all :-)) the wines were good and I had two amazing wines recommended by the owner. A great experience and I would come back here in a heartbeat. This is so my kind of place :-)))
Stopped by for a quick wine tasting. This bar has over 50 bottles opened so you can literally choose any wine on the list and have a glass. Also the local wines were amazing. The favorite was "Chardonnay-Plozza" a Chardonnay ages in barrels and 13% of alcohol. Very very soft and not too sweet. A must have!!
My wife and I stopped in for lunch based on the reviews. We ordered a reasonably priced local bottle of red wine, the Italian cold cuts and cheese plate and a salad. The service was spectacular as the server explained the wines and was very attentive. The food was fresh and very tasty. I highly recommend the experience. Reasonable prices for the location and great service. Thank you!
Cute little wine bar in the shopping area of Bellagio. Our server was friendly and gave us suggestions on wine and food. We opted for a meat and cheese plate, which also came with a bread basket, to go with our wines. There were a few outdoor tables that were occupied so we sat inside but it was very quaint and comfortable. read more

Such an amazing little wine bar in Bellagio. Coming here was probably my favorite part of visiting the little town. If you like white wine, try the 2014 Lugana. It's a local wine and quite refreshing! read more

This cute little restaurant is a great stop-over on your way to dinner or for after dinner drinks and dessert. It's cozy and has a great selection of local wines. They share a kitchen with the restaurant across the way (which is really good BTW), but they only have some small plates and salads. Nothing too hearty, but really good. The service is also very friendly! :) So go, stop for a drink, stay for some meats & cheeses, and enjoy yourself. read more
