Bellavita In Bellagio

12/01/2025: My partner and I called to book to secure a table given the beautiful weather on a Sunday in spring along Lake Como, they told us that there was no need to book anyway and it seemed strange to us, we arrived at the restaurant a few minutes early and they told us wait but we understood that they hadn't reserved any tables, we sat inside even though we had chosen the place outside, inside it was quiet, well kept and with a view of the lake. We shared an appetizer (Sea flavors to the chef's fantasies - €22), I had told us that it would be raw fish but it was a little bit of mussels, clams, octopus and potatoes, blanched camari with surimi and smoked salmon. We order two first courses, Risotto with perch (€20): risotto dripping with butter with gratin and tasteless fish, probably frozen, Paccheri in black sauce with star lobster and its Bisque (19€): excellent paccheri cooked not al dente and not overcooked with the stick sauce (maybe frozen) overall it was a good dish. I would like to point out that the staff was very friendly and helpful, unfortunately it took them a while to serve us because there were few of them and there were numerous customers. They should improve the quality of the food, serve smoked salmon and surimi as a starter, fish according to the "chef's imagination" and perch risotto in a lake of butter are not restaurant dishes
