Food shopping in Bellagio Italy
Good Day Fodorites,
I am planning my Sept 2010 trip to Bellagio, Lake Como. I have reservations at Il Borgo Appts., and plan to cook at least some meals in the appt. Staying for 3 nights. Does anyone have experiance and/or recommendations for food shoping in Bellagio. I have "googled" for any list of alimentari type stores but with limited luck.
Thanks and Happy Travels

I don't know whether it is the same store that was mentioned by the other posters.
It is located near the church: you go in Western direction from the church and then the first or second lane left. A small delicatessen-type store with a good selection of cheese, salame, bread, wine and a few basic food items. Should be enough to survive for a few days.
Cooking is a good idea, since most restaurants in Bellagio are grossly overpriced tourist traps which offer poor quality.

There are small makets also selling vegetables and fruit,a salumeria-meat, sauage, and bakery near La Limonera on the upper road through town.
There is a large supermarket outside of town; we walked to it.

We've enjoyed Bilacus on several occasions and on one rainy evening had a lovely dinner in the Hotel Florence which was more expensive but not overpriced IMO. Bilacus has a lovely outdoor terrace.
There are a couple of nice restaurants in Varenna, too,
