Dear customers , you booked for 4 and eat for 3 (because you are writing but you didn’t eat nothing….). How can you judge our quality?!

The food presentation was amazing- every dish was a work of art. The flavors of each dish were perfect . Luigi came to our table to open our bottle of wine

I truly enjoyed my experience at Salice Blu. The family owned and run establishment makes you feel like you are somewhere special. You can tell they have a passion for what they do and they do it well. I had the quail and truffle pappardelle and one of the most wonderful garden salads I’ve had in years (right from their garden). The wine pairings are a must and if you don’t get a tiramisu you are crazy. We also had a beef filet but that really paled in comparison to the other dishes. This place is truly an experience.

Absolutely disappointed. The risotto was the worst I’ve ever eaten. My sea bass 2nd entree was tasteless. Shack-N-Bake could have done a far superior job! The owners are sweet people - the chef came out to the table and we appreciated their efforts but the meal was absolutely / no doubt the worst restaurant meal I’ve ever eaten.
Salice Blu • Owner
Dear John, thank you so much to be so transparent with us! Next time you can eat directly Shack-N-Bake without coming in our restaurant understanding nothing about kitchen. You judge us but you don’t know what are saffron and foie gras. What are your cuisine knowledge tuo judge our food?

Luigi picked us up in Ballagio. We were met with a friendly great staff. The pasta was the best we had in Italy. So I ordered more! Luigi was also our bartender and made it fun and entertaining. He makes a great Negroni. Then when we were ready he drove us back to our hotel. It was a great and delicious experience.

The food was so good. We’ve been to many fine dining and Michelin star restaurants in NYC, Paris and Dublin. Salice Blu is in our top 3 now. Amazing food, good service, hands on Chef who also served as our sommelier, Camilla was so gracious and took time to answer so many questions.

Lovely restaurant just outside of Bellagio high on the hill. Gourmet cuisine with a home field touch. Everything is grown and created on site. The truffle risotto is made with truffles found by Charlotte the owners truffle dog. This is a non-miss spot if you’re visiting Bellagio.

Beautiful restaurant, wonderful ambiance, great food and service. Luigi and his wife were charming hosts, who helped advise us on our menu and wine selections, and even gave us a ride home (a great service the restaurant provides to car-less visitors). Highly recommended and a place our whole family agreed we would love to come back to.

Mediocre Restaurant. Food was OK not special, would also not consider it local. Pasta was good, main course wat not what I was expecting for the prices. The wine arrangement was also not adapted to the courses. The wines were nice though but it would be good if they paired well with the course.

Nice looking restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Staff are well trained and helpful with our language difficulties, providing an English menu and helping with any further explanation of the dishes. The food is really good to look at but unfortunately we found the taste to be good but ‘just’ slightly lacking. The chef /owner is found in the restaurant rather than the kitchen and is keen to finish off the dishes with gimmicks such as a smoker or bubble machine. This makes for great entertainment and photos (which he is quite pushy to be included in) but the food seems to lack any intensity of flavours. Don’t get me wrong, the food is good but unfortunately not as great as the confident chef appears to think. We had a good meal and a good evening but I have eaten better food in Italy with less emphasis on presentation and showmanship.

First to be clear it is not inexpensive but worth the price in food quality presentation and ambiance. Owners involved in every aspect. Go for it

This is a family owned, fine dining restaurant. The chef is part of the service team and is also the sommelier. The other servers were attentive, explaining each course. A couple of courses are based on family recipes. We did a 7course tasting menu that was simply excellent. All ingredients sourced locally, including fish and caviar from Lake Como and some from their own garden. The whole experience was wonderful. We would highly recommend.

An extraordinary dining experience! The food and staff were exceptional. Chef Luigi offers beautifully crafted, delectable dishes with thoughtful recommendations for wine pairing. He engages with his guests to assure quality, satisfaction and pure hospitality. It was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

This was a lovely dinner in Bellagio! The staff was so friendly and the chef and his wife chatted with us all night. We did the seven-course tasting menu with wine pairings and it was all wonderful! We definitely would recommend the experience to anyone looking for a more authentic experience in Bellagio.

What a fun evening! Two of us celebrated my birthday at Salice Blu with the seven course tasting menu, seated with a full view of the kitchen. The food could definitely stand on its own, traditional dishes made from local ingredients with a hint of molecular gastronomy. Chef Luigi and his wife, (backed up by a well-trained staff) however, really brought the meal to life. They shared stories about the dishes and their traditions, chatted with us between courses and made us feel welcome. I'd inquired about non-alcohol options and they had homemade blueberry, raspberry and grape juices ready for pairing. The two I tried were delicious. The wines, one local, were also excellent according to my husband. Judging from our "food hangover" the next morning, the five-course menu would probably have been a more prudent option, but I really can't imagine skipping any of the seven courses. (If you're up for seven courses, book earlier than 8pm to really enjoy them.) I really recommend it for something just a bit different. They also offer a pick up and drop off service, as well, if you're not driving.
