During my sister in laws 50th birthday trip to northern Italy we attempted as many gelato places as…read morepossible, sometimes 2 per day. 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.

There's usually a line, but it moves fast. One line to go in and one line coming out. Its located right across the ferry. They have seats and benches which was nice. The view is nice also as you get a direct view of the lake. I highly recommend this.

Solid gelato; but definitely not worth the crazy lines. And because they're so insanely busy, they…read moredon't let you taste flavors, they rush you, and be incredibly rude at times. 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.

You know you are in the right place when two Italian guys greet you with smiling faces ready to let you try their gelato! The pistachio and coconut were our top choices. They let you try samples as well which is always a telling factor about a place in como. (a lot of the places in Bellagio do not allow samples and look very non homemade) Again, Don't hesitate - when in Italy eat all the Gelato you can and definitely stop here to enjoy by the waterfront!

The pistacchio was one of the better flavors. I'm still giving this place 4 stars because they stay open late, have a good variety of flavors and are relatively cheap.

I visited Rome, Florence, Venice, and Lake Como. If you were to tell me that the best Gelato I'd…read morehave the entire trip was off of Lake Como, I'd slap you across the face. Lake Como had some of the most overpriced, overrated food but that was expected. You do not pay for the food, you pay for the view. We were on a private boat tour with our great guide Luca when he recommended we stop in Lenno for gelato. We stopped at La Fabbrica del Gelato and it was truly out of this world. The servers were so kind to give us their best reccs, and I am glad we sought their advice. From the texture, to the natural flavors, I was blown away at how good it was. This is a 5/5 hidden gem in a place where you do not expect great cuisine, and it was surely the surprise of our trip.

My friends and I were walking down the main street of Como when we stumbled upon this storefront…read more We were craving gelato, and from some of the signs on their windows, it seemed like they've received awards in the past, so we gave it a try. 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!

Apparently, airport joy can also come in cone form! The small size (pictured) comes with two scoops, while the regular gives you the option of trying three flavours or having three scoops of the same flavour. The tiramisu Venchi was definitely a hit for both my partner and me. Highly recommend! They also have chocolates for purchase, if you need a last minute gift purchase. One thing we didn't love: we were asked if we wanted dark or milk melted chocolate inside our cones, which sounded like it was included. It turned out to be an extra €2 each. We didn't mind paying, but the way it was offered felt a bit unclear. All things considered, delicious gelato and a great final Italy treat.
