We were to lucky enough to arrive to Alle Darsene by both kayak and foot! In the morning, our kayak tour found us at this restaurant where we had a break for espresso. The menu looked interesting, and our guide recommended it, so we returned. Alle Darsene is off the beaten tourist track so it was nice to get a... More

We ate at Alle Darsene based on recommendations from friends who had recently visited Bellagio and our apartment owner also recommended it for an 'upmarket' meal. Alle Darsene is located slightly outside of Bellagio, so get a taxi or have your own transport. It has a lovely setting and the food was delicious, however during the quiet season as the... More

My husband and I enjoyed a nice sunset at an outside table. Wonderful food and service; appetizer and dessert sampler provided to us by the chef.

We went to this restaurant both on recommendation and because it is slightly off the tourist track. Arrived early and go the last table so best to make a reservation. The table for our group was slightly separated which gave it a very cosy and intimate feel. The table staff were fantastic and clearly professionally trained. Every course was a... More

We have been going to this restaurant for a couple of years. We keep going back and have always enjoyed the experience. The food quality and cooking is creative and executed to a high standard. The service is attentive but not intrusive, and ambience allows us to relax. There is always a complimentary glass of prosecco and bread basket to... More

The tables around us also looked frustrated, with one party waiting that entire time for their food to arrive and another waiting over 30 minutes... More

My wife and I ate at this restaurant this evening (May 11th). We walked from Bellagio - a little bit of a walk through a 200m section of a busy narrow road. Once through it we descended into the quiet village of Loppia where the restaurant has a lakeside location. You can eat inside or out. We in the beautiful... More

We visited this restaurant on the recommendation of our hotel and were not disappointed. The walk from our hotel was definitely sketchy - in hindsight, we would have taken a cab, but it was well worth it. The meal was so decadent and delicious, yet we were surprised when we received our bill to discover how inexpensive it was. We... More

I recently spent 5 nights in Loppia which is across the Villa Melzi gardens from Bellagio (perhaps a half mile?) Having eaten here on a prior visit, I had a high expectation and was not disappointed. This is a gourmet type restaurant. I had a simple dish of lamb rump lightly rubbed with mustard and herbs. I started with a... More
