We wanted one last bite of gelato before leaving Italy, so when we stumbled upon this gem at…read moreMalpensa Airport, Terminal 1, we got very excited. Apparently, airport joy can also come in cone form! The small size (pictured) comes with two scoops, while the regular gives you the option of trying three flavours or having three scoops of the same flavour. The tiramisu Venchi was definitely a hit for both my partner and me. Highly recommend! They also have chocolates for purchase, if you need a last minute gift purchase. One thing we didn't love: we were asked if we wanted dark or milk melted chocolate inside our cones, which sounded like it was included. It turned out to be an extra €2 each. We didn't mind paying, but the way it was offered felt a bit unclear. All things considered, delicious gelato and a great final Italy treat.

Bonus: No waiting time as opposed to the hoards of people waiting in line in Roma and way less expensive than the Venchi in Manhattan/NYC!!

One of the best gelatos. My kids said this was their favorite, and they tried a lot. I have to…read moreagree as they have a lot of flavors and each one is perfection. 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.

The brioches are excellent, fresh, well balanced, and clearly made with care. Even during the busiest breakfast hours, the service is impressively fast and efficient, which makes the experience even better. The environment is modern, bright, and welcoming. Highly recommended, whether you are stopping by for breakfast or picking up something special to take home.

Lively isn't halfway describing this place, madhouse is more like it! You start at the kiosk and you don't pick your flavors of gelato, just the type. Then you wait in line for them to call your number and people are jumping in front of you as though that will get their number called first (spoiler alert: it doesn't). But it is quite hectic and if you ordered cake too, that's at a separate counter and takes a crazy amount of time for a piece of semi-dry cake. The gelato itself is very good, it's just small for the price and the wait.

I went with the double baked and it was delicious. Looked like an almond croissant, but has raspberry and white chocolate hidden inside...it was a good start to the day!

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.
