He patiently answered our questions and helped us in knowing how much to order for our table of 9. The food was perfection from the eggplant Parmesan and osso bucco to the pasta carbonara and the desserts everything was flat out delicious. The ambiance was pure Italian warmth which left us feeling like we home away from home. If I ever get back to Lake Como I will ABSOLUTELY be going back to Sociale! I'll also be telling anyone I know visiting Lake Como to go there as well. This restaurant is well worth a visit....or two, or more!!

Ambiance was very classy and I was surprised our food came out so fast, but I'm not complaining since we were somewhat in a rush and did not have too much time in Bellagio. We shared the Romana pizza and had to try the Antipasto del Pecatore which was sourced locally from the lake (marinated Alborelle, lake fish terrine, marinated trout). Both were very enjoyable and hit the spot.

We had a fantastic time at Salice Blu! We paid for a transfer from our hotel and were picked up at…read moreour hotel by Chef Luigi. We started with a private wine tasting with small bites in the restaurant's wine cellar. It turns out that Luigi is not only a chef and a driver, but also a wine sommelier. He was fun and outgoing as he taught us a lot about area wines. He taught my husband how to properly open a bottle and serve it. Little did we know that was going to come in handy a little later in the evening... After our tasting, we went upstairs and were seated in one of their dining rooms with a view of the kitchen. Another table ordered a bottle of wine, so Luigi had my husband come up and open and serve the wine to show what he had learned. At the time, there were only two other couples in the dining room and this got us all chatting and friendly as they rooted my husband on. Dinner was delicious and plated beautifully. During the evening, Luigi would pop in and out of the dining room and kitchen in between holding other tastings in the cellar and transferring people to and from their hotel. Because he is a jack of all trades, it did take a while after we were done with our meal to get a ride back to our hotel.

He even instructed me on how to properly open a bottle and present table side. So much fun. We went upstairs for dinner and he had me demonstrate my new skills to an actual customer.

I can not wait for my next time

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO MEET THE RUDEST MANAGER!…read more The restaurant itself was cute, and our male server was ok.Unfortunately, our experience was overshadowed by what I believe was the manager, who was very unwelcoming and came across as rude and dismissive. Shoes not like children. We were a group of four adults and four children (ages 6-14) on our way to the beach. The kids were hungry, and since this was the closest restaurant, we decided to stop in for a quick bite before swimming, planning to have a larger meal afterward. From the moment we arrived, it felt like she was annoyed that we had children with us (Our children knows how to eat in a restaurant, they come from a family of fine dining chefs (their dad) they do not only eat chicken nuggets and fries) before we sat the waiter said we don't have kids food, or maybe that we weren't going to order a full meal. There was a whole menu but was told there's only a few items available. It even gave the impression that she assumed we couldn't afford the restaurant, which was uncomfortable, especially when she stands there and STARE at your table while you dine. What made the experience worse was watching her check on the other tables with a warm, friendly tone while treating us very differently and cold. The contrast was noticeable and made us feel unwelcome. As for the food, we ordered a bottle of water because we had our own personal water bottles and was told we're not allowed to drink it there, we ordered three buttered pasta dishes for the kids (which were actually the best items we had on the menu, ravioli, which was disappointing, and the salted cod. While I understand it's supposed to be salty, both the cod and the red sauce were overwhelmingly salty to the point that it affected the dish. Sadly, because of the poor hospitality, we would not return. Good service should make every guest feel welcome, regardless of whether they're ordering a light meal or a full dinner. Leaving me to NOT RECOMMEND such a rude place. There's lots of other friendlier restaurants and better food.

Mains: we ordered the ravioli filled with sausage & potato topped with veal sauce, & an order of the tagliolini with fresh tomato & basil. The ravioli was good, the tagliolini was barely fair; the sauce was very light & did not have much flavor. Given our mains we opted out of dessert.

They seated us outside and the views during the daytime are just incredible. It felt so peaceful and relaxed :) I enjoyed a stuffed pasta dish while my fiance had lake fish with vegetables.
