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.

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).

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.

Lake Como had some of the most overpriced, overrated food but that was expected. You do not pay for the food, you pay for the view. We were on a private boat tour with our great guide Luca when he recommended we stop in Lenno for gelato. We stopped at La Fabbrica del Gelato and it was truly out of this world. The servers were so kind to give us their best reccs, and I am glad we sought their advice. From the texture, to the natural flavors, I was blown away at how good it was. This is a 5/5 hidden gem in a place where you do not expect great cuisine, and it was surely the surprise of our trip.

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!

Very cute little town. We took a quick boat from Bellaggio. If you want to see Villa Cipressi…read moregarden it's 8eur pp. Varenna also has Villa Monastero - admission to its garden for a fee. We choose Villa Cipressi because it was closer. It was very gorgeous, we took plenty of photos, enjoyed beautiful lake view seating in a nice shade. Walk from ferry its very simple but its uphill so bring water with you. We went in September and still it was very hot and sunny. There is not so much shade there either. Also you can hike to Castello di Vezio to get beautiful view of the village but be aware it's very steep. It takes around 40 minutes. Also while walking you will see beautiful narrow streets, water views , little church and small stores & restaurants. After that we hoped on other ferry to go to Menaggio. You can visit all of these places within a 1 day like we did.

This place was hopping as I walked by so I was pretty sure it had to be good and it did not disappoint! I snagged a small pistachio bar for mom, who demolished it! For me I went with the fior di latte, which translates to flower of milk. In English, we could potentially equate this with our saying of "cream of the crop." It was a flavor that I had never experienced before, not milk per se, but also not vanilla. At any rate, it was delicious. I only hope I can find it again outside of Italy and relive the experience.
