Having driven the couple of hours from Orta to Locarno is was ready for a coffee, and the espresso did not disappoint! And the gelato! Two large chillers filled with an extensive variety of fruit and cream based flavours. As tempted as I was by the amazing chocolate varieties, I went with a scoop of mango and a scoop of fruits of the forest. Delicious! Full of flavour, every bite was fab.

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.
