Top Dance restaurants in Bellagio, Italy

Our tour guide with Walk Europe set up an Italian cooking class at Salice Blu Ristorante in Bellagio. Chef Luigi and his wife/business partner, Camille, went above and beyond to give us a fantastic experience. We were able to tour the garden that much of their produce comes from plus we made Pappardelle, as well as tricolor ravioli from scratch. Once we had finished helping to prepare all of the food, it was served to us along with some delicious wines to accompany it perfectly. At the end they surprised me with a birthday treat with a huge candle and sang happy birthday. We spent several hours there, and would love to go back again as the food was superb. Chef Luigi is quite a character and tells many colorful stories as he teaches his cooking class. Not to be missed if you are ever in the area!

Didn’t have a chance to enjoy this establishment as it was closed the evening we wanted to go, but did get to go to Chefs other establishment in Lecco on a small island. We really enjoyed our evening with a fabulous four course meal and matching wines. We were served a cocktail to start the evening, first course was stuffed calamari followed by a stunning risotto with blue cheese, the main was stuffed pork loin in a crust with vegetables, sauce and a lovely garnish of edible flowers, dessert was a twist on apple pie with sorbet. During the meal we had at least four types of wine two glasses of each per person. Service was excellent and the boat to and from the. Island was an added fun experience , chef rowed us both ways. On top of that chef arranged transport to and from Bellagio. Was priced fairly for the experience we really enjoyed it.

Loved it. Great personable chef. Great hospitable staff from "MaitressDi" to Waiter with an excellent wine recommendation. Food was the star, and beat by far the Michelin Star restaurant we went to 3 days ago. Very family tolerant (we had two young ones). So far yes the best experience in the area! Prices were fine for both wine and food (on level with the quality of the food which looked and tasted incredible) so I have no idea what the heck that other reviewer was talking about. The food is not cheap, but it is not expensive for what you are getting both food wise and experience wise and we paid more 3 days ago at a worse place. Great.

My family is visiting Bellagio for a few days as part of our vacation. Our experience started with a private pizza making class and ended with us wanting to come back for more. Chef Luigi's culinary expertise is apparent, but it is his enthusiastic and comedic personality that will make our pizza lesson unforgettable. So many laughs! And we didn't make just regular cheese pizza. Chef Luigi escalated our pizza to that of his 5 star restaurant. We had pizza with prosciutto, pizza with truffles, pizza with beef carpaccio, and pizza with smoked sausage. They were all so delicious!
Just as incredible is Chef Luigi's and his wife/business partner Camille's, heartwarming hospitality. From the minute you enter their restaurant you feel like family. They greet you as if they know you and go around to every table to talk with their guests.
Our evening ended with them surprising us with a presentation of desserts that were as delicious as they were beautifully crafted - just like everything else that we saw leave their kitchen. It may have been the class that brought us there, but it's their unprecedented food and hospitality that is bringing us back. We can't wait to have lunch there on Wednesday!

THE BEST PLACE IN ALL OF BELLAGIO! 100% RECOMMEND!!

My experience at Salice Blu was one that left an everlasting impression on what fine dining, customer service and just an all around great environment for dining and celebration is.

When my wife and I arrived to Salice Blu, it was 40 minutes before they had planned to close. We had just arrived in Bellagio after our rental car had broken down and we had to get a new car. When we arrived my wife was greeted by who she thought was just the hostess. When my wife explained our situation and the awful day we had been having on the first day of our honeymoon, Camilla (who we thought was just the hostess) immediately said that everything would be okay and that we could come in for a meal.

Upon sitting down, we were met with amazing quality of service from our waiter who brought still and sparkling water to our table. Very soon after we were brought two bowls of tomato soup compliments of Luigi, the chef. Because we knew that they were closing soon we only ordered quick and small orders but those orders were absolutely amazing and had such a depth of flavour. We noticed that most people in the restaurant were drinking from the outstanding list of wines that they offer but my wife and I are more of cocktail people, so we asked if they offered any.

When we asked this, the chef, Luigi came to our table to describe to us what the cocktails were that they had to offer. Little did we know that when we did this, that not only did he describe what the cocktails were, but Luigi also made the cocktails at our table! We came to later find out that he also won the cocktail competition that happens in Bellagio among all the other bar/restaurants once a year!

Suffice to say, we came for a quick meal and we’re left in awe of the whole experience that we received. Of course this had us asking Camilla if we could book a reservation for 2 days from when we got there so we could experience a full 7course tasting menu!

When we returned for our full tasting menu reservation we were met with the exact same level of professionalism and overall great experience that we had when we came on our first night. On this night we ordered a bottle of wine and we let Luigi bring us one he recommended. What turned out be a very funny coincidence that the wine he brought us was from the same region that we had just gotten married in (which he wasn’t aware of).

The tasting menu was amazing and had us wondering when the food would stop as we were full by the 4th course but it was so good that we finished every last bit of each course.

Upon leaving the restaurant after our final meal there, Luigi and Camilla brought us one of their recipe cook books with a beautiful scripture inside congratulating us on our wedding and wishing us a lifetime of love and happiness, and of course good food! They also showed us their wine cellar and their island that they do dinners on 1-2 times a week which left us in awe!

Overall I would recommend this restaurant to everyone and anyone who is staying in Bellagio as it was the best part of our stay there. This restaurant was the definition of 5 star dining!

Ristorante Salice Blu is beautiful. My friend and I did a wine tasting with Chef Luigi in his cellar, accompanied with food pairing. I would suggest using their free pick up service from Bellagio. We finished with delicious dinner. Great service from Camilla and the Salice Blu staff. Thank you for a great evening.

We had a lovely time at Salice Blu! My partner and I are vegetarians and were excited by the option of the Vegetarian Tasting Menu, which offers 5 courses including dessert. Each course was excellent and provided different flavours and experiences each time. Because of the many courses, our meal was drawn out over a couple of hours, which was very worthwhile and gave us lots of time to enjoy a bottle of wine from the Lombardi region of Italy. I would highly recommend Salice Blu. Chef Luigi, his wife, and the whole staff made the meal such a wonderful experience!

This experience was our best during our trip to Italy. The food was unreal and so amazing. Everything was perfectly balanced and the wine pairing was unmatched. The chef, his wife/business partner, the staff - everyone was absolutely incredible. The experience was so much fun and they were incredibly engaging, and it was truly our best meal/experience, I’m still dreaming about the salmon tartar and risotto. Thank you for giving the perfect ending to our trip!!
