Overall, the service was the highlight with professional and attentive wait staff.
The food was just ok, with relatively basic flavours and ingredients combined well. The disappointment here is that at the more premium end of pricing for a plate, you expect more exciting/interesting flavours and use of better ingredients and cooking techniques. The portion sizes are also on the small side, with a main coming up more like the size of a starter.
The atmosphere is a bit stiff. Some may prefer this but I've come to enjoy a more laid back atmosphere when enjoying food, however this stifness appears to be in keeping with the town of Bellagio, so maybe one to avoid if you're similar to myself in this matter.
The wine choices were good, however the cappuccino at the end was quite sub-par. I've found that even the cheap, back street cafés in Italy at 1/4 the price of this cappuccino offer a smooth, velvety, and well extracted cup. Here you can find the milk to be relatively well steamed, but an espresso taste that comes from under extraction, such as the astringent acidity that comes with it. I would suggest that the staff should adjust the grind and check the flow rates from the machine more often to provide an experience more fitting of a €6 cup, something simple to do but often overlooked - just a shame to see in a more up market place.
TLDR: I suspect you could have a more enjoyable experience somewhere else in Bellagio, or even find a nicer/quieter town around the lake altogether.

Absolutely amazing restaurant of the 5-star hotel in Bellagio. You can visit even if not staying at the hotel, and reservation advisable for a dinner.
The service is exquisite, food delicious but indeed and expectedly steep on prices. An average dish costs EUR20-25, while a beer costs EUR9.
The menu is limited with few options but a one of each and surely you can find a dish to your liking.
The views are lovely, the restaurant has both indoor (air conditioned) and outdoor seating, besides the hotel swimming pool overlooking the lake Como and beautiful hills that capture the beauty of Bellagio. You may prefer indoor to be away from the hustle bustle of the pool if here for a lunch/early dinner.
We ordered the draught beer which was nice and refreshingly good, ravioli dish and riso jasmine with edamame, lentils (sort of a poke bowl). We ended with an espresso.

Great location, very high price (aperol spritz 21 euros) Service is very good though. We had drinks only 20230805.
I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the ristorante la goletta inside the hotel. Came only at tea time. Very good pastries and coffees. Steep prices but matched by quality and decorum.
Great view and food. If you want a lovely experience with authentic Italian food, come enjoy your evening here. The sunset is incredible. :)
Top 5 stars restaurant, with an awesome service.
The focaccia we ordered came to the table pretty fast, but the main courses took a bit longer (although a fair time, nothing too long).
The food was delicious, and the portions were not abundant but fair (see the pasta dish with the fork for a reference).
The quality of the ingredients and the silverware is top of the top quality.
Great view over the pool and the lake too

This place served one of the best food in and around lake como.
Ambiance - The restaurant is cozy and tables next to the pool give you a great view of the lake. Make sure to book the table in advance as this place tends to get crowded pretty often.
Rates - slightly expensive but it’s worth it. We order 4 mains and 4 drinks and the total was a little shy of £110.
Food - The portion size is deceiving. It looks less but the mains are quite filling. The quality of the food was extremely good especially the home pressed olive oil with bread which is served complimentary. We order vegan salad which was extremely refreshing, Pizza margarita - although we had order for something else but it was great as well, lamb steak - wasn’t the best and bellagian style fish with rice - this dish was the star. This is a must try, extremely delicious and the fish melts like a butter in your mouth.
Service- They were good. They were kind to offer us fresh prepped chilli oil which being Indians was hot for us as well. Overall good service but nothing that stands out.
Parking - It’s situated at a very busy street and very close to the ferry terminal. We found the parking really far so had to walk a lot to reach this place.
Great place!! Has good vegan and vegetarian options.

We were here for the second time during one year, because the food, service and environment are great. The dishes are simple, traditional Italian with a French influence. This time we especially enjoyed the low temperature egg with the truffle sauce. We ordered it as dessert again. We will definitely be back again. Thank you!
