About Local Restaurants

A visit to Bellagio isn't just about admiring its natural beauty or learning more on the town's history - it's also about giving your taste buds a treat, savouring the different flavours of its cuisine and relishing its aromas.

The lake with its fish, and the surrounding hills, mountains and land with their cheeses, salamis and meat-based specialities, offer tasty and genuine products that are a true gastronomic delight.

Why not try some bresaola (thinly sliced air-dried beef), "Missoltini" fish (sun-dried Coregon preserved in oil), pasta with White Lake Fish eggs, fish-filled ravioli, rice with fillets of Perch and, in the mountain areas, of course, game and Polenta "Uncia"(polenta with butter, cheese, garlic and sage).

Needless to say, it all has to be washed down with our local red or white wines!!

About Walking

Bellagio’s villas and gardens are an exceptional testimony of aristocratic leisure during the 19th Century.

Bellagio preserves the memory of that splendid era which lasted for over a century, a period in which the town was one of the most exclusive, elegant and aristocratic resorts in Italy.

The villas of the area are an extraordinary example of fine architecture and landscaping which give us a vivid picture of the lifestyle of an entire governing class.

The majority of villas are in the neoclassical style of the Napoleonic era. In fact, it was during those years and for the rest of that century that many of the houses we see today were built. Others are older homes that were converted in the new style.

Bellagio was the place where Italy’s best landscape architects were able to prove their talents. Giuseppe Balzaretto, landscape architect of Milan’s public gardens, designed the garden at Villa Poldi Pezzoli, now known as the Villa Gerli. Canonica and Villoresi, who designed the park at the Royal Palace in Monza, worked on the gardens of Villa Melzi, whilst Albertolli, an important architect who also worked on Villa Olmo in Como, designed the villa. Works by the artists Giuseppe Bossi and Andrea Appiani were carried out here.
