  • Barchetta, Bellagio

    For such a beloved resort, Bellagio oddly lacks superlative eateries, save perhaps this “little boat”. The recipes are local and well-prepared, the ambience amicable and the prices appropriate.

  • A mix of rustic and elegant at a restaurant set in the remains of a castle. Charming candlelit terrace tables and regional food prepared with an inventive touch.

  • Highly original cuisine (strawberry risotto, chicken in orange-peppercorn sauce). The décor mixes rough stone and wrought-iron fixtures with funky modern elegance.

  • This island eatery’s fixed-price feast has remained unaltered since 1947: antipasto, trout, fried chicken, cheese, fruit, gelato , water, wine and brandy-spiked coffee.

  • Garden seating, a homely atmosphere and gourmet set-priced menus make this a foodie haven in the village of Maggianico outside Lecco.

  • Menaggio’s hostel doubles as a favourite spot for ultra-cheap dinners. You serve yourself (and do your own washing up), but the cooking is pretty good.

  • One of the best-value set menus on the lake draws a local post-theatre crowd, Como’s soccer team and budget-minded travellers alike.

  • The place for large portions of lake fish and pasta. For a great view, sit at a solarium table.

  • Many restaurants in town serve over-priced tourist slop, so locals patronize this homely trattoria and pizzeria.

  • The most romantic restaurant on the lake offers excellent fish dinners and dishes such as spinach tagliatelle in vegetable ragù .
