La Punta

Bellagio location is phenomenal! Nice walk to and from the restaurant to build an appetite and burn off same! Beautiful view of Lake Como from the patio. Staff were friendly and willing to assist. Multi-​lingual staff makes it perfect for all!

A wonderful place by the Lake Como.
To get here from Milan we took the train to Verenna-​Esino. 1 hour. Then the ferry to Bellagio. 5 minutes.
At La Punta, we had a outside table with view over the lake and the mountains.
I ordered a nice pasta dish. Very good.
My better half had a lasagna, also good, however a pretty small portion.
Our friends had fish of the day, fresh from the lake. Also good. The other ones had a salad, which were, nothing special actually. Mostly leaves and cucumber.
For me, both location, service (they have the BEST waiter) and food was excellent. So — 5 stars!

The most gorgeous view ever!!! Lake Como and the snow capped Alps in the background.
Seriously amazing! The food and the service is also fabulous! This is my go to for a relaxing day drinking vino and taking it all in!

We (my mom and I) were looking for a delicious meal — and what we instead received was a lousy, laughable meal. First of all, the sign pointing us in the direction of the restaurant, when walking up the hill from the center of town, says «200 meters.» No way. Even Google Maps says it’s 350 meters distance. (We should have just turned around.) When we got to the restaurant, we were asked if we had a reservation. (No, because it was a last minute decision and more so because it’s offseason, we didn’t think we’d need one.) The response was cold, almost ‘who are you to show up without a reservation?!’. But, the restaurant was dead — and thus the attitude was unnecessary. The meal was fine. Nothing to write home about. Though I do think the waiter should have been able to explain to me the difference between the 3 types of 6 Euro glasses of red wines on the menu. His grasp of English was definitely at that level, with the effort and knowledge being sub-​par. When the bill came, it contained a 4 Euro charge for water for 2 people, which we did not have, and had to ask to have taken off the bill. The bill also contained a 5 Euro charge for coperto for 2 people. We saw this NO WHERE on the menu when we were scoping it out online or when we were looking at it in person. Turns out, the notice is hidden in the background design on the menu, located below the cheese list. So, if you don’t want cheese, there’s no way of seeing it. And if you do want cheese, it’s very much hidden. What a ruse! When we asked about the water and coperto, we were met with attitude once again. The water came off quickly, with one of the waiters apologizing, saying it’s traditional to put it on there, everyone gets water with their meals. As for the coperto, he told us that it’s traditional around Europe to charge a coperto and that he realizes it’s not something we see in the United States on bills. He had a real attitude. Was a real dick, for lack of a better term. I don’t suggest anyone to go to this restaurant There are much better restaurants up in the hills that will give you just as good a view, but with a better meal and much better service. I’ve never disliked a dining experience so much.

The food is the best I’ve had on Como.
I had the lasagna and some grilled vegetables.
The chocolate cake was great however the bread sucked.

Crazy wintery day in September. The chef’s penne pasta was full of flavor. Bacon was not overpowering, which was my concern when ordering. The lake fish lavorello in butter and sage melts in your mouth. Pair with the local Opera white wine. Great, friendly service tops it off.

Ristorante La Punta was the perfect ending punctuation to our rather relaxing and wonderful northern Italian trip. We had one night in Bellagio before flying out of Milan, and we wanted to try a place off the beaten path. It was July, the breeze was blowing gently from the lake and the walk from the center of town was romantic and quaint, on a quiet road that winds around the lake. Once you arrive at the restaurant you can request to be seated on the patio, and we were lucky enough to be seated directly in the center with Lake Como spread out before us. The wait staff was charming and attentive. We did have 3 different waiters throughout service, which was a bit disarming but overall it worked out well — but only because each of them injected a bit of their own personality to their portion. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing. There is nothing more perfect than sipping a nice white wine, eating Lavarello (local white fish) and gazing out at Lake Como with the sun setting. The food complimented the environment perfectly. It was well timed, artfully prepared and delicately flavored. After dinner we took a walk on the pier which is situated 50 yards from the restaurant, and watched the quiet dusk settle into night. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our last night in Italy.

In a beautiful Bellagio (not the fake one in Las Vegas) you will find a varity of tourist oriented restaurants. In this type of restaurant you never expect to get a high quality food but you do expect an amazing setup and a view.
This is exactly what this restaurant provides.
Good food. It will not leave you breathless but along with the spectacular location it provides an ultimate vocation dinning spot.
About 60 – 80 euro per person for a four course dinner. Not too bad for vacation spending.

You could go to this place and eat dog poop and I’d still rate it 5 stars because of the views! Luckily, the food was actually pretty good.
Your sitting on lake como, in Bellagio (huge casinos are named after this beautiful place) and your starring directly at the famous Swiss Alps…
Unless your some billionaire who sees stuff like this everyday, it’s pure magic!
I highly recommend you visit this place for lunch on a sunny day just to take a look at the best scenery in the world.

At the close of a beautiful 4 days and 3 nights in Bellagio, staying at the wonderful Hotel Belvedere and exploring the picturesque towns, abbeys, and gardens — we inquired around for the perfect restaurant and dinner to cap our Como experience… And landed at the worst restaurant experience we have had in Europe: La Punta of Bellagio, Como Italy.
In short:
— the restaurant could not find our reservation which I made personally by phone days in advance
— from the moment we arrived it was clear the restaurant was rushing our party of 5 through dinner to maximize our bill and minimize our time enjoying the meal
— we ordered three courses (antipasti, primi, secondi) — they all arrived at once (!) with apologies from our server that the kitchen was «in a hurry» — the food came so fast there was no room for the plates on the table
— the food was not just disappointing, it was inedible. Even simple dishes (prosciutto e melone) were clearly plated hours before dinner and had been sitting — drying out and getting soggy at the same time
— we asked for a wine list and our waiter came back to the table with an open bottle of a «local favorite» white — I asked again for the list. She set the bottle and 5 glasses down and walked away. We didn’t drink the wine and had to request it be removed from our bill.
— once all courses arrived (at once), we never saw our waiter again — she was reassigned to another overwhelmed area of the restaurant
In short, the service and food were a disaster. What a sad waste of a beautiful location and potential.
With so many great places in and around Bellagio (Barchetta, Alle Darsene) — don’t bother with this place. It won’t be around for long.

My wife and I were married in Lake Como on June 29^th. Our Wedding planner (Sally from WeddingBox Lake Como) set us up with a 32-​person rehearsal dinner at La Punta for the night before the wedding. La Punta is a 10 minute walk from the boat dock in Bellagio (turn left and follow the main street). When you arrive from the street, you actually walk up the back of the restaurant — there are a couple of signs, but rest assured that you will eventually see the restaurant below the street and towards the water. You will then have to walk down a cute little windy cobblestone stairway or you can follow street down and around the side. There is a beautiful grassy area with shade trees and benches that the guests could relax at before dinner. The kids liked it because they could run around (we arrived a little early). When we arrived, we were taken to a private table in the back that overlooked the lake. The grounds were immaculately maintained and everywhere you looked was like a picture out of a movie. When we arrived, we ordered the wine for the table; the food menu had been pre-​selected. The waiter, Niko was very entertaining and spoke perfect English. He helped us with the wine, which was very good and wound up costing around 25 euro per bottle. We also got a very large bottle of well-​priced Chianti Classico for 160 euro; Niko presented us with this very large bottle in its own wooden case before the primi and it was a huge hit with our guests — we drank the whole bottle then brought the bottle and case back to the states with us. At the end of the night, we were able to take home the unfinished bottles of wine and water, which came in handy later on at the hotel. We chose caprese salad for our antipasti, meat lasagne for our primi piatti and the de-​boned «Lavarello» fish in butter and sage for our secondi (Lavarello is an excellent local, flaky white fish). The children were served two courses of similar food, but prepared in more kid-​friendly ways. We finished with espresso and opted to leave out the dessert so we could casually walk back to the boat dock and get gelato. Note that the last boat to Lenno from Bellagio was at 7:40pm. By sitting down to eat at 5:30pm, although a little early for our liking, we had plenty of time to get gelato and arrive back at the boat dock on time. The food and the view were incredible. All in all, the meal was VERY affordable, which was one of our requirements, and the experience was priceless.

If you want an amazing view of the Swiss Alps along with Italian mountains in all sides, this is the place. Service was good but food was average. It’s definitely the location that’s draws the crowd.

What a charming place, with great Italian food, great and fun loving Italian staff, and a great atmosphere. By far the best meal we have had since starting our travels in Italy.
I wanted to add a review to 2013 because this is the place to eat when you come to Bellagio. Great views and on the lake.
What a great overall experience!

Es war schon immer etwas teurer, mit fantastischer aussicht seinen Kaffee zu schlürfen.
So sitzen wir nun mit den Cappuccini für 4EUR auf der Terrasse und bewundern die fantastische Sicht auf die drei Zipfel des Comer Sees und die dahinter liegenden Berge.
Da man doch ein paar Schritte laufen muss, bis man an dieser Spitze der Halbinsel angekommen ist, ist es auch sehr viel ruhiger als im quirligen Bellagio selber, das selbst im September noch mächtig von Tagestouristen gebrummt hat. Jede Menge Englisch und Asiatisch, erstaunlicherweise, was man da gehört hat. Follow the yellow umbrella– pleeese follof– dont stop
Was bin ich mal froh, dass ich keine Postkartengroßen leuchtorangen Aufkleber mit dem Aufdruck Visitor tragen muss g aber ich schweife ab.
Das Retaurant selbst ist definitiv gehoben und die Nutzung für einen profanen Nachmittagscappu eher ein Missbrauch der Räumlichkeiten. Die Bedienung indes selbst lässt sich das nicht anmerken, räumt aber brav mit einem Stirnrunzeln die bereits drapierten Weingläser etc. wieder zur Seite. (16.00 ca.)
Die direkt mit dem Cappu ausgehändigte Weinkarte ist sehr umfangreich und scheint vollständig, ich lese staunend die edlen Tröpfchen, die man hier genießen kann. Geendet hat es preislich irgendwo bei einem Château Petrus von 1991 für runde 3000,00EUR
die Flasche. Immerhin ;-) Leider nicht ganz mein Portemonnaie, aber das Ambiente dafür ist fraglos vorhanden.
Zu den Speisen kann ich leider nichts sagen, da wir, wie gesagt nur den Kaffeehunger gestillt haben.
