I am leaving for Bellagio (Italy) in four days and would appreciate any recommendations for restaurants in the area. It is probably worth mentioning that I am also travelling with my 2- and 4- year old, although if previous trips to Italy are any indication, this should not be a big issue! Thanks.

I heartily recommend Bilacus. And sit on the terrace. It's up the street from the waterfront. I have loaned out my Bellagio materials, so I don't have the address handy, but I'm sure your hotel can direct you.

Bilacus and Bilacus. We ate there twice!

Based on reports here, Bilacus was at the top of my list. When we arrived this past summer for four days, that was my first stop to make a reservation for dinner. But they couldn't take us for at least a week. We tried back several times and still no luck. So if in the height of season, I strongly suggest you call ahead and book there.

We had a great meal at Silvio's, but you need to take a taxi or drive. How could a first course of spaghetti be so fantastic? And the grilled fish was spectacular.

We also enjoyed dinner in the "courtyard" at Antico Pozzo.
