Started with drinks, the limoncello spritz is amazing & an old fashioned. Followed by the house wines for dinner, which on Vivino all rated extremely well. The food was screaming goodness, just scrumptious all around. Started with the Caesar salad, the chef's pasta special & ending with the steak done in a pepper cream sauce. Each dish was split, absolutely delicious all around. Oh & don't forget the tiramisu for dessert, followed by a cappuccino & finally limoncello. This is a definite must stop if you're in the Lake Como area. Great service, food & the views - just gorgeous as the sunsets .

Our hotel helped to book us a reservation here for dinner on a Monday night, and the restaurant was honestly quite busy for a weekday evening! Definitely would recommend making a reservation if you can to avoid potential waits. I started with the pasta chef style (with bacon, tomato sauce, cream, and parmesan cheese) and my fiance had the steamed rice with sautéed fish fillets. Both first courses were great, and I loved the creamy tomato sauce with my pasta! Then, we shared the veal chop milanese which came with a side of green beans -- this was really good! My one gripe was that there were a bunch of ants everywhere on the floor right around our table which made the experience a bit unpleasant as I was partially focused on not stepping on the ground too much while sitting for the meal.

And the price was higher than other places you'd find -- when we went it was 4 euros for only one scoop, and in a cup only. The staff at the counter didn't speak English very well, despite this place being right next to the ferry drop off and in the center of the touristy area. They said pistachio is what most costumers get, but banana is their signature flavor. I tried banana and kiwi, and both were good flavor-wise but texture-wise was just so-so -- too runny. If you walk a few steps towards Salita Serbelloni and climb all the way to the top of the stairs and turn left, there's better and cheaper gelato at Gelateria del Borgo.

The scoop game is generous and they have a great variety of flavors. Feel free to sample them before you buy, but just know that it will be a tough choice since there are so many great options. I opted for a double scoop of banana and pistachio and this gelato was like a mini meal all by itself! Could not believe how incredibly rich and creamy this gelato was. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The gelato bar is located right near the entrance to the restaurant and has its' own separate line and entrance, so you don't have to wait in the restaurant line. Not sure if the gelato customers are allowed to sit on the patio tables, but their patio provides the most beautiful view of Lake Como! If you're craving for gelato while in Bellagio, Splendide is THE spot! Ciao!

The particular alley it was on was not as bustling as the others and the outdoor tables looked inviting as we passed by. We ended up dining inside, where we could be seated immediately. The decor was impressive and fun. We went with a local buckwheat noodle dish (pizzoccheri), which had a very unique and earthy flavor. Recommended to grind fresh pepper on it before enjoying. Worth trying if you're adventurous and want to familiarize yourself with the cuisine of the Valtellina valley. We also had a more classic red sauce pasta (lasagne al ragù di carne). Very thin, light, and elegant noodles in both dishes. An excellent portion size for lunch. Service was attentive and outstanding.
