Aperitivo Et al

We had drinks and appetizers. The selection of wine was fantastic and the owner was very knowledgeable about Italian wines. We had just arrived in Italy so it was a great introduction.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch based on the reviews. We ordered a reasonably priced local bottle of red wine, the Italian cold cuts and cheese plate and a salad. The service was spectacular as the server explained the wines and was very attentive. The food was fresh and very tasty. I highly recommend the experience. Reasonable prices for the location and great service.
Thank you!

My husband and I came across this cozy wine shop and bar while making reservations for dinner at Bilacus next door. We ordered two wine flights and a couple of small plates recommended by the friendly owner. With each pour he described in detail not only the flavor profile of each wine, but the history of the region (we chose mostly wines from the Lombardy region — it was a great change of pace after drinking Chianti in Tuscany for the previous few days). He taught us the differences flavor from one vintage to another, and even gave us tips on finding great quality wines at a lower price tag for when we got back to the States. I would highly recommend a visit not only for a great snack and glass of wine, but for a lesson in the wine this region has to offer.

Such an amazing little wine bar in Bellagio. Coming here was probably my favorite part of visiting the little town. If you like white wine, try the 2014 Lugana. It’s a local wine and quite refreshing!

If this is the bar that Bellagio has to offer… sigh. After reading numerous reviews, my friend and I settled on coming here. We had read somewhere that it turns into a lively bar atmosphere at night. Come 8PM, the place was dead. Also, I’m not sure how the atmosphere could be anything but quaint and cozy given the layout of the restaurant. The food was edible, but even our waitress said nothing was made on-​site. The pasta tasted as though it was heated up in a microwave. The house wine was really good and the place was affordable, but that’s about it.
The service was really friendly and there’s free wi-​fi.

We enjoyed a salad and stew along with a tasting of local red wines. A very pleasant memory. Nice ambiance and friendly, well-​informed staff.

This was a nice wine bar that made a good stop for lunch. We tried a few different wines. I was impressed that when we asked our waiter for recommendations, he chose moderately prices wine. We shared some salume, cheeses, salad and stew for a fun lunch. A less formal alternative for lunch.

Excellent wine bar serving good food, located in a strategic location in Bellagio. Small venue, intimate enough without being too pretemptious. Good wine list made of unique regional wines as well as the usual italian world famous ones. The food: being an Enoteca don’t expect a wide selection, but the quality of what I ordered was definitely a four star rating. I tried Bresaola with Scaglie di Parmigiano (cold cut dish sprinkled with shaved parmesan) and a local dish from Valtellina (a Valley bordering Lake Como) called Pizzoccheri, both excellent. Friendly staff with a great owner who I believe works in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

A fabulous wine bar and shop in Bellagio. We were walking up the steps towards the shops and ran into this place. We were on the look out for something small for lunch. The menu here has lots of small plates along with other main courses and, we decided to pop in a check it out.
It’s small and cosy and the service is first class. They speak great English here and were quite good at recommending things from the menu and the wine list. If you want a house wine or a top rated Italian wine you are likely to find it here. They also have a lot of wines from the Lombardy region and great cold climate Italian wines.
We shared a large cold plate for lunch and a small ruccola /​Parmesan salad. The cold plate had some fabulous cold meats and cheese. Loved it all :-)) the wines were good and I had two amazing wines recommended by the owner.
A great experience and I would come back here in a heartbeat. This is so my kind of place :-)))

Des vins formidables, du fromage excellent et un accueil sensationnel le tout pour un prix plus que raisonnable. Je né peux rien dire de plus. Tout était parfait !
En plus, on peut acheter des bouteilles.

This was a great place to relax and grab a drink before dinner. We stopped by for a drink before dinner all three nights that we were in Bellagio. It’s actually a wine bar, but we ordered cocktails. We were looking for our standard American drinks — Jack/​Diet and a Jameson/​Ginger. Most places don’t offer this, but Aperitivo hit the mark. The prices are good, wait staff is friendly, and appetizers are delicious. Loved the ravioli!

Great spot to relax and have some great cocktails and wine. Tried their Tuscan wine flight and it was very good. Nice and friendly staff and they are accommodating for English speakers. Highly recommended spot for grabbing some drinks.

This cute little restaurant is a great stop-​over on your way to dinner or for after dinner drinks and dessert. It’s cozy and has a great selection of local wines. They share a kitchen with the restaurant across the way (which is really good BTW), but they only have some small plates and salads. Nothing too hearty, but really good. The service is also very friendly! :) So go, stop for a drink, stay for some meats & cheeses, and enjoy yourself.

Best place to have wine and a bite in Bellagio. Great owner, cute space, good prices, always hopping and the food– bellisima!
Large salads and the local buckwheat pasta is amazing!

Had to write this review before we head home. Went here last night and had the best dinner of our whole trip. Small, intimate, grotto like atmosphere with warm downtempo music and soft pillows around the edge of laid back benches.
This is truly an enoteca, which means it is heavily influenced by wine and has small plates. Beautiful glass wine cellar to boot!
So, on to the experience. The people running the place are younger and very passionate about what they serve and sell. Our waiter was the most friendly and helpful, passionate person about the wines and foods they had to offer. I told him I wanted a barbera or Barolo as we wanted a change of pace from brunello and chianti. He steered us to the best bottle we had all trip. A 2003 barbera d’asti that was amazing! 32 euros to boot.
He recommended the meat and cheese for two. It was enough for 4. We split a local dish of pasta that had potatoes and cabbage. Believe its called pizzocheri. Again, amazing! Finished with homemade chocolate tort and serious espresso, we were in heaven.
Going back tonight as it was that good.
