La Punta is where Bellagio ends: on the promontory that separates the Como arm from the Lecco arm, the point where the three arms of the lake meet. In 1963 Bruno, a young fisherman, and Gabriella took over a small restaurant here; the present building dates from 1967. Since 1990 it has been run by their son Gilberto, today with his sons Jacopo and Nicolò, and in the kitchen is Massimo, Gilberto's brother, trained at Bellagio's hospitality school. Another family member, Andrea, is a fisherman.
The menu
The house cooks the lake in the traditional way. When we consulted it, in November 2026, the antipasti ran from €18 to €23: the lake antipasto, with freshwater fish marinated in oil, garlic and parsley or in onion, wine and vinegar, at €23; the fish pâté, at €21, and the missoltini, the dried and salted lake fish eaten with toasted bread and butter, at €21.
Among the first courses, from €17 to €24, the lake's own are the linguine with lake bottarga (€22), the riso in cagnone with perch fillet (€24), rice with butter and sage topped with golden perch, and the tagliatelle with smoked salmon trout (€21). For main courses, fish costs €24: mixed lake fry, fish of the day with butter and sage or agoni, lake sardines, grilled. Meats run from €35 to €37, from grilled fillet to Milanese veal nodino. The cover charge is €4, and the house warns that it does not split bills.
The cellar has more than 300 Italian labels.
The setting
The charm is the view: the restaurant looks onto the three arms of the lake and the mountains, and it has its own landing stage for those arriving by water taxi. Staff speak Italian, English, French, German and Russian.
Hours, booking and getting there
It is open every day from 11:30 to 22:00, with continuous kitchen service, so it works for a late lunch between boats. The website does not publish a holiday closure; in winter, call ahead. Book by phone, on +39 031 951888.
From Bellagio's jetty it is ten or fifteen minutes' walk through the village towards the point, along Via Eugenio Vitali. If you come by car, park in the village's paid car parks: the centre is narrow and fills up in summer.
What to order: the lake antipasto and the riso in cagnone with perch fillet, or the grilled agoni.
