We stayed “up the hill” and walked down for a cup of coffee and pastries every morning. The atmosphere is great, the pastries delicious and fresh, and the service from the young man (Selvio?) was kind and friendly. This was our first time in the region and this would definitely be an establishment we would come back to.

Ignore the surroundings, the pizza is excellent and good value. Coffee was good but served in disposable cup. Cakes look good but did not try them. Out door dining with overhead umbrella. Toilet clean but is up steps.

This resturant is a bit further out from the main area of Belaggio which meant it was less busy, and there was a lovely view of the mountains! The dough and tomato sauce was exceptional! However it felt like the cheese was just put on top as an afterthought and it tasted quite plasticky so i couldn’t finish it. Once you placed your order, you collected the pizza when a buzzer went off and you put all your waste in the bin - which was an effective system

Fantastic dough for pizza's with simple but generous amount of good ingredients with a homemade taste, a nice place to have a coffee or a lunch break, next to the parking spot, without being too bougie. Location wise is in a quieter region, there's some view of the mountain, so it is a nice break from all the crowded areas in Bellagio.

This review is a long time coming. Antonella the owner is the sweetest and kindest person and her food reflects the human care that she exudes. The pizza was piping hot and the sauce was tangy and perfectly mixed with the soft dough and fresh cheese. The Cannolis were delicious, a creamy filling with a crunchy shell with a hint of sweetness that perfectly complemented the filling. It’s better than any cannoli I’ve ever had during my two weeks in Italy. Aside from the food, Antonella is in my opinion the star. We were on the shore of the lake trying to get back to Bellagio to grab something the eat. The issue… the buses for that route stopped running for the day. My friends and I were on the side of the road with our thumbs up hoping a kind stranger would give us a ride. Antonella rolls in and gives packs us into her car and tells us that she owns a restaurant and it was exactly what we we’re looking for. After we ate, Antonella showed us on a map how to get to the stop that would take us back to where we were staying. We said our goodbyes and happily marched up the road and waited patiently for our bus. Right on time the bus rolls by and it keeps driving… the bus was full. Walking back defeated we tell Antonella what happened and she tells us not to worry and called her friend that was a taxi driver to take us back to Lezzeno. We said our goodbyes again and laughed. The food and the hospitality are well worth the five stars. I cannot wait to go back and enjoy a slice of Naples with the beautiful view of Lake Como.

Midday visit after riding bikes. Staff is friendly, service is snappy by Italys standards. Prices are fair.

We love this place--especially the cooking classes! Ask for more information inside the restaurant! I am a vegetarian, and Antonella accomodated us perfectly!
