We took the funicular (cable car) to the top of the mountain and found this restaurant. The views from the restaurant can't be beat. There is indoor and outdoor seating and both offer the spectacular views. The first time we ate here, we sat outside. As the evening went on, it started to get chilly. We noticed some of the diners had blankets, presumably provided by the restaurant. They also had transparent wind blocker shades they rolled down on the side, which really helped cut down on the chilly wind. On our second visit, we sat indoors and loved that the views were just as spectacular. Our server from the first night really stood out! He was so polite and genuine. They other servers were great too but he was the most attentive. It seems like they share duties as we weren't assigned a particular server. The food is really good and the prices are reasonable for this type of restaurant. The menu posted at the entrance isn't updated - ask for the current menu if you want to preview it. The first night I ordered the pappardelle pasta with duck sauce. It's not a duck sauce but rather, pasta with huge chunks of duck! The duck was so tender and seasoned perfectly. There is no gamey taste at all, which can sometimes happen with duck. On my second visit, I ordered the lasagna with béchamel sauce. It is very different from the lasagna I'm used to. It is not tomato based and it is round instead of square! It's cooked with a light creamy, almost sweet sauce. It was delicious! Others enjoyed the truffle ravioli and the steak.

Out of all the places we visited and all the incredible meals we had throughout Italy, Da Pietro…read morewas hands-down my favorite. Every single dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, and weeks later I'm still dreaming about the truffle pasta. It was one of the best meals of our entire trip. The restaurant was completely packed, yet the service never missed a beat. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient. Despite how busy they were, our food arrived surprisingly quickly, and everything tasted exceptionally fresh and made to order. For travelers, it was also very welcoming and easy to navigate. Several members of the staff spoke English, and an English menu was available, which we appreciated. (I'm not sure if menus were available in other languages besides English and Italian.) We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful view of the Duomo, which made the experience even more memorable. My only warning is to keep an eye on your table--there are plenty of pigeons flying around hoping to steal a crumb or two! That said, there wasn't much chance of leftovers for them to steal anyway because the food was just that good. If you're visiting Lake Como, make Da Pietro a priority. It was the highlight of our dining experiences in Italy, and I can't wait to return.

Fortunately the menu for our day was outstanding and the pigeon probably tastes good. Mashed potatoes and cheese topped with caramelized onions 10/10 creamy, sweet, piping hot from the oven, just an altogether amazing dish. So much flavor it was one of the best dishes I experienced on a long trip to Italy. Wish I got a picture. Small salad came on the side that was a 3/10 it was so bitter I couldn't eat it. Spinach pasta with butter sage and nutmeg was really good! 7.5/10 it lacked a little flavor but the pasta was cooked perfect and the flavors that were there were balanced well. I would added more nutmeg and sage besides sprinkling the majority of it on top but it was good nonetheless Rabbit. Delicious meal 8.5/10. Surprisingly lacked a gamey taste and had a great texture. The sauce that came on the rabbit tasted so good I could've ate it on it's own. It probably would've been a 10/10 if it was served with some lamb chops or chicken. Let's be real rabbit isn't the best meat out there. Chocolate cake 6/10 lacked flavor. Looks like it should be fudgey but it was almost sponges and bready. Tasted more like nuts than chocolate. Overall a great experience

Maybe there was a misunderstanding, because this came off as extremely rude and off-putting. We would not go back here.

Bruschetta was under whelming but that was ok. Really sweet of them to move us to a shaded table once they noticed I was sitting in an area that was directly under the sun.

I was in Bellagio for Asif A.'s wedding, and the day before the wedding, Eric R. and others were canyoneering and rappelling. Asif A. told me this is his favorite restaurant in Bellagio, so I joined him for lunch with four others. We sat on the patio and my seat was right next to the water. The server was very patient and friendly. We ordered a half liter of white wine and appetizers of caprese and bresaola. The bresaola also came with pork (oops...) but I focused on the unbelievable mozarella in the caprese salad. I ordered the gnocchi with flame roasted octopus and baby olives. It was pure heaven - the gnocchi tasted like pillows of angels or something. I now know why gnocchi is so hot on Top Chef because it tastes nothing like the packaged stuff I am used to in the U.S. The place is known for lake fish, so Asif A. ordered perch with curry and rice, and I tasted it - wow! David W. shared with me smoked trout from his salad, which was similar to nova. David S. ate some of mine but did not share his duck - I did take a picture of his dish though, as it looked delicious! Robin B. had the sea bass and it definitely looked good (special of the day). The whole menu sounded good and I would definitely have returned if I stayed longer. We had leftover bread at the end of the meal so the server told me to feed it to the birds in the lake. I tossed bread for the ducks and swans, a fun way to end the meal. The setting was gorgeous and I am so glad I was able to discover this hidden gem.
