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. Make a detour before you go up into the mountains, you'll be glad you did.

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.

The location alongside the canal is absolutely beautiful. You couldn't ask for a prettier place to grab a scoop or two of gelato or an aperitivo. Their limited menu is super affordable and good quality. You don't need 20 gelato flavors, just 6 classic ones done well, and they have that. The staff were friendly, spoke a little bit of English, and took card. They have a clean bathroom and plenty of seating. Wander in like we did and you won't be disappointed.
