This is great, homemade gelato - don't hesitate! We walked around Verenna and this was the only one…read morewe could find with homemade gelato. 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!

The only good thing about this place is the view of the lake. The food is pretty awful so does the…read moredrinks. I had the bolognese pasta the portion is tiny and the noodle is undercooked and there's barely meat in the sauce. My partner had lasagna , it looks nothing like a lasagna and didn't taste good either. There's a very big menu of cocktails. I had the basil smash, but it's overly sweet and artificial flavor and color added looks lime green. The outdoor space with view is limited and very tight. Service is pretty bad, can hardly get anyone's attention.

The food was delicious and the views were stunning! Excellent, friendly service. A must eat while…read morevisiting Lake Como.

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.

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).

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.

The snacks were really delicious and the Cocktails too, especially the "Ananas Cocktail". Incredible is that when you order Cocktails you get a plate of various Sandwiches and a bowl of potato chips FOR FREE!! Delicious gelato too! The waitresses were very friendly and could speak english. All in all we vistited this Café everyday.

We had about an hour to kill in Lake Como before we had to meet our tour group. Lucky for us,…read moreL'Ambrosiano happened to be across the street from our meeting point. It also couldn't have looked more inviting. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It wasn't a sunny day but the outdoor seating did provide shelter from the misty rain. The waiter took our order (one Valtellinese pizza) and shortly our food arrived. I found it a nice touch that the kitchen split the pizza in half so we could share it easily. We were also given plates and silverware. L'Ambrosiano is no ordinary cafe. It's a bit classier. The pizza was delicious and covered amply in braseola and mushrooms. The sauce was slightly sweet and brought the whole pizza together. I did enjoy eating my pizza with a fork and knife, a far cry from folding it in half and eating with hands New York style. What a great way to enjoy Como. It topped off our morning of silk scarves, cloud bread, gardens, and farmers markets.

The spicy salami was actually spicy and was extra crisped which is actually how I prefer it. The bruschetta was very good and big portion. I give it three stars because it's more expensive than any other pizza I ate in Italy and there was nothing to justify that - the food was simple nothing fancy, it was not memorable, and I wouldn't go back.
