La Lanterna Bellagio

One of my favorite places in Bellagio. It's a tiny place that somehow found a way to sit a large party in short order. The menu is very limited, but there was something alluring about that. We had the pesto, the amatriciana, the Bolognese, the lasagna, and the tiramisu which they serve in a coffee maker and might have been my favorite one in all of Italy. The place is decorated with handpainted cork tops, flattened glass bottles, aperol bottles, and other items for sale. The staff were very friendly and I would happily go back, just wish they would add some starter dishes or more options, since we already sampled pretty much the entire menu already.

Prices are high but I guess it makes sense for the area and the beautiful seating outside. Everything is very cute and decorated, just a few pasta options and one dessert. Overall we were super happy with the experience and the attentive staff. We would definitely recommend if you are around.

Food is a bit underwhelming. It’s too salty and doesn’t represent good value, even for Bellagio The Tiramisu saved the day for us Service is prompt and patient. Atmosphere is wonderful, the restaurant is decorated with beautiful hand painted bottles and moka cup Clean toilets are available for guest

La Lanterna in Bellagio feels like dining inside a piece of art. The menu is handwritten, the walls decorated with painted wine bottles, and every detail adds to the cozy, creative atmosphere. The food is unforgettable—fresh homemade pasta served with rich sauces that taste truly authentic. The tiramisu and coffee made the perfect finish to the meal. The service was attentive and friendly, making me feel welcomed as if I were part of the family. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality and experience make it worth it. If you’re in Bellagio and want not just a meal but a memory, this place is a must.

This was some of the best pasta I have ever had in Italy! We had the pesto and the lasagne, portions were okay sized but the taste was exceptional. Tiramisu was fantastic and was presented great. Quite pricey but sat outside on the street, was definitely worth it!

There weren’t many pasta options, but the ones available were very tasty. We absolutely loved the pesto rosso. The portions are a bit small and quite pricey, but everything was delicious. The outdoor atmosphere is also very nice.

Lovely experience visiting this family run restaurant in the heart of Bellagio. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was homely. The room is covered in beautiful paintings on wine bottles painted by the grandfather of the lady running the restaurant. You can (and we did) buy one of these to take home too. A beautiful souvenir of our stay. Highly recommended!

It can be notoriously hard to find genuine good authentic Italian food in Italy, it's tricky to avoid the tourist traps. This place is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The fresh homemade pasta is incredible. Great wine and great tiramisu. Our meal here was one of the best we've had. Cannot recommend highly enough!
