Al Prato Restaurant
Italian restaurant
👍👍 Al Prato surprised us with the most exquisite and delicious food ! Come here early because they do close at around 2 pm to end their lunch service.
We ordered the octopus to share, and the octopus was cooked to perfection. You could easily cut it with a butter knife.
The truffle beef tartare was o...

La Veranda dei Pescatori
Restaurant
👍👍 It is highly recommended to reserve a table in advance at this restaurant. After we did that, we were given a table with a wonderful view over Lake Como at sunset. I ordered the truffle menu and can only recommend it to anyone who, like me, is a carpaccio and pasta lover. The waiter was very friendl...

Semi di grano
Restaurant
👍👍 A must visit if you come to Bellagio or Varenna.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented and the atmosphere was so serene.
We had the risotto, Salmerino crudo and the lake fish of the day which was incredible. Carlo has a strong vision here which he is executing perfectly.
We closed our...

Sorgente del Fiumelatte
Park
👍👍 While you can see the Fiumelatte down by the road, and under the bridge, making the hike up to the source is well worth your time if the water is flowing. Beautiful water fall, cool air and water spray, picnic tables, absolutely refreshing. The walk, while steep at times, is very pretty. You'll be g...

In Vinis Veritas
Wine bar
👍👍 My wife and I came here for a ‘glass’ of wine before dinner and ended up doing the wine tasting. Hermes was a little shy to start with, and claimed his English was barbaric, but he spoke very well and explained each wine excellently. We were treated to a plate of Bresaola which I can honestly say wa...

Hotel Diffuso Il Portichetto
Hotel
👍👍 Loved our stay here! Only a 10-15 minute walk down to Varenna (lots of stairs but we managed just fine!). Sweetest little dog hanging around the property, has a pool and hot tub to hang out in, room was comfortable, and the staff was so kind and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

La Passerella
Ice cream shop
😐 I tried the almond/pistachio and lake Como flavors, as other reviewers suggested. What a huge disappointment. It is way too sweet, I can only taste the flavor of sugar, nothing else. It is more like cheap American ice-cream, rarher than Italian gelatos. As someone who traveled in Italy for over 70 d...

Varenna Food
Grocery store
👍👍 Absolutely love this spot and the people who run it. We just spent 4 days in Varenna and this place was critical to our stay there. We ate breakfast here every day, and bought pasta there two nights to prepare at our airBNB. The pasta and sauces they recommended were incredible, far better than the...

Spiaggia Riva di Gittana

👍 Nice little beach with good swimming opportunities. Unfortunately there are very limited parking spaces... With a bit of luck you can get a parking space on the side of the road and then walk a few meters. We were there during the week and it started to get more crowded after around 4 p.m. There is...
