Not so sure though whether we need to keep Vanini that long ... Mislead by the past success and the winning location, the service nowadays is sloppy, inattentive, not to say rude.

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).

The person at the register didn't say a word to me. Complete surly silence. The pasta was not great, watery flavourless tomato sauce, meatballs were like paste and the coffee was weak and terrible. Serving coffee like that in Italy is a travesty. The place was busy, lots of locals. Maybe i was centered out as being a tourist and overcharged.

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.

I ordered the Nocciola (hazelnut) and pistachio gelati in a cone. It was absolutely wonderful and delicious. I'm glad to have tried my first authentic Italian gelato here! Although you can buy gelato straight from the window at the storefront, it took a few minutes before one of the workers noticed we were trying to buy gelato. From the outside, it looked like they had a bar and their website says they also serve pastries and brunch. We were able to pay with card, so don't fret if you don't have any euros on you! - You'll still be able to enjoy some delicious desserts from here!
