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).

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.

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.

Outside seating was full but inside space is very large and had a ton of seating. Everything I had was done perfectly.

This is no doubt the place to get the best pastries in town!

Yes, it is a little bit "touristy", but lots of fun. They have savory (such as prosciutto and cheese) and sweet (chocolate). I have been several times and it is not unusual for the line to be down the block. If so, divide and conquer: One person find a place to sit (steps in front of the cathedral?) while the other goes to order and bring back the goodies.

Established in 1888, Panzerotti Luini is a legendary spot that almost always has a lineup. Trust me, it's worth the wait.

The shop's location, just a few minutes from the breathtaking Duomo di Milano, makes it the perfect pit stop with plenty to see and do nearby. Get yourself over there--you'll leave with a savory taste lingering and a big smile. Saluti!

There were two workers acting as cashier, server and entertainment as they both swore at the phone each time it rang.

A plus of this franchise is that they drizzle a coating of chocolate of your choice (white, milk, dark) inside the cone before placing the gelato inside. The gelato itself is creamy and light, with the chocolate flavors being more intense. Very good and worth the wait!
