Riverside Snack Bar

It was one of the best pastas I ever had. (Pasta carbonara). The service was really courteous and the view is absolutely gorgeous.

I concur with all the reviews about the delicious carbonara! This was the best carbonara that we've ever had. I usually don't like carbonara but this place changed my mind. In addition, the hours are amazing compared to other restaurants in the area. And you can't beat the lake side view, especially during sunset. See you guys again soon! Ciao down! 👍🏼🤤

Just a fantastic place to sit, eat, drink and enjoy the lake and mountain views with friends. Along with the excellent service from the very attentive and friendly staff. Loved it.

Sehr schöner Ort, gute Musik, direkt neben Strand, sehr freundliche Bedienung und eine Riesenspeisekarte. Essen sehr gut. Preise eher hoch, aber super Qualität und genug auf dem Teller. Kleine Karte bis 19h mit Salaten, Bruschette in allen Variationen und Abendsonne, Bootsanlegestelle für Kleinboote ebenfalls vorhanden. Sehr zu empfehlen . Hatte gemischten Salat, Bruschetta, Macedonia mit Eis, ein Bier und ein grosses Wasser.

Haben diesen tollen Ort in über meinen Bruder empfohlen bekommen. Hatten einen leckeren Cocktail, andere Getränke und Kaffee und Tarte - alles war super und fühlten uns wohl und willkommen. Die Aussicht ist unglaublich schön und das Team sehr nett.

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, diesen wunderbaren Ort zu besuchen und war von Anfang an begeistert. Die Drinks sind nicht nur lecker, sondern die Auswahl an Speisen ist beeindruckend und bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas. Der Service war außergewöhnlich – freundlich, aufmerksam und stets bemüht, dass es uns an nichts fehlt. Die Preise sind absolut gerechtfertigt, wenn man die Qualität der Speisen und Getränke sowie den hervorragenden Service berücksichtigt. Besonders schön ist die entspannte Atmosphäre, die abseits des Tourismus einen perfekten Ort zum Verweilen bietet. Ich kann diesen Ort nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Amazing amazing amazing We come to visit these guys all the way from New Zealand and it is worth the trip every time Same people same lovely faces same hugs Same delicious food. Once you discover this place you will be back every time. Thanks team and we will be back - after 12 years of visiting. See you soon

Wspaniały klimat tworzony przez obsługę i prawdziwa, przepyszna włoska kuchnia.Chef pilnuje aby nikt nie wyszedł niezaspokojony. Szczególnie polecam zupę z owoców morza i ravioli … pychota

Wir waren zwei Mal, einmal Abends und einmal Mittags dort zum Essen. Die Mädels von der Bedienung waren einfach absolute Profis. Super freundlich, aufmerksam und kommunikativ. Das Essen war auf einem sehr Guten Niveau, klar das man hier bzgl. der Lage und der Tatsache das man in Bellagio ist, etwas mehr bezahlt. Sowohl Abends als auch tagsüber war die Location für uns das Highlight aus einer Woche Bellagio.

An incredible spot in Bellagio! ★★★★★ Riverside SnackBar is a true gem right on Lake Como, just outside of Bellagio in San Giovanni. Francesca, the owner, is the heart of the place—so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. She made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. The views are beautiful, the food and drinks are great, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. A must-visit in Bellagio! We can’t wait to return. Thank you, Francesca, for making our time in Lake Como so meaningful!

We had an absolutely wonderful time here, enjoying a delicious plate of spaghetti carbonara, all at a more affordable price than dining in the Bellagio area. The experience was made even more special by watching the best sunset, accompanied by lovely glasses of wine and spritz. We truly appreciated every moment.

Amazing location, amazing food and even more amazing people. A family run restaurant for over 40yrs. After our first night eating here we had to come back over and over again. We ate here 5 nights out of 6. The food is not cheap because it is such high quality and very generous sizes. The sunsets are gorgeous. You arrive as guests and leave as friends. You can also have a refreshing swim here too and wonderful cocktails.

Everything was perfect! We were able to get a table for lunch on short notice, which was a pleasant surprise. Initially, I was a bit anxious because the reviews on Google weren’t great, but I have to say, this place deserves 5 stars across the board. The relaxed atmosphere, stunning lake view, delicious food, and friendly staff all exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, there’s no better value-for-money restaurant in Bellagio with such a beautiful lakeside setting and serene ambiance. Highly recommended! :)

We ate here every day we were at Lake Como. The service and people running the restaurant are the absolute best! We love Francesca!! The food is 100% excellent and we ate a lot of different selections. We arrived one Sunday, and all the tables had reserved signs on them. We were heartbroken. I asked Francesca what we could do? She smiled and brought us to the table we had sat at most of the time, She removed the sign and said it was for us. It was planned - there were 3 of us and only 3 chairs at a 4 top table. How thoughtful! Best place we ate on Lake Como!

The best food & family in San Giovanni/Bellagio! If you’re in the area find this hidden gem with beautiful views and the best food & cocktails! The service is amazing, you’re family when you’re here. Get the carbonara! I hope this remains a hidden gem of lake como! Absolutely amazing. We are here both nights in town, it can’t be beat. A true reminder of what life is all about.

A ottobre, un’oasi spettacolare e accogliente, vista straordinaria e cibo molto curato e delizioso.

Bar stupendo con vista sul lago, ottimo per un pranzo o una merenda mentre si è nella spiaggia affianco!

Location incantevole rinnovata di recente e notevolmente migliorata. Aperitivo e vista unica in una zona di Bellagio fuori dai luoghi turistici. Prezzi top quasi come a Venezia...La spiaggia attigua molto bella e con tramonti suggestivi.

This restaurant by the lake is an absolute gem. The view is stunning – calm, scenic, and especially magical at sunset. It’s the perfect setting for a relaxing meal or evening drinks. The food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and great variety. Every dish we tried was full of flavor. The cocktails were a highlight – creative, well-balanced, and ideal for sipping by the water. The service really stood out. The waitresses were not only sweet and welcoming, but also genuinely attentive and kind, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. Whether you’re here for a romantic evening or a laid-back lunch with friends, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

È un posto stupendo, il mio preferito!!! non vedo l’ora che arriva caldo , così che posiamo andare e ammirare paesaggio meraviglioso, gustare cibo buono 😋 anche bere un buon vino, sono sempre gentile e disponibile, grazie ragazzi ❤️

Location stupenda dove attraccare e mangiarsi un gelato, uno snack e tanto altro… hanno un menù molto ampio. Si viene accolti da Francesca cordialissima e simpaticissima

Super Servizio!!

Il posto più bello di Bellagio

The view is amazing. Waiters are smiling and friendly but the food can be improved especially pastas where you need to be two to order.

Beautiful spot! Food was good, but nothing to right home about, even more so when you consider the cost. Service was extremely friendly though. I would recommend this place for the views and service alone!

We had dinner and drinks at Riverside Beach Bar and it was just as expected, very good! We had a couple of drinks to start off with and they were made well. Our dinner was enjoyable, authentic taste, hot and wet did not have to wait long. We had the gnocchi and lobster ravioli, both were delicious. The location was ideal for a quiet date night, we really enjoyed the view of Lake Como at sunset.

Buono peccato i prezzi eccessivamente alti.

The location is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a visit! The restaurant is cosy and quite small, which adds to its charm — but unfortunately, the portion sizes are just as small… unlike the prices. Each plate was around €22 and a portion of fries was €10 (see photo for reference). The food tasted good, but not spectacular — especially considering the price. It’s a very touristic spot, but overall not bad at all.

Davvero esageratamente caro

Se voi solo bella vista del lago mentre mangi va bene pagando per un hamburger piccolo+birra a 25 Euro a testa. Posto per i turisti Svedese Norvegese chi hanno più soldi di noi gente regolari...

Una vergüenza que te cobren 24 euros por un plato con solo 12 gnocchi pequeños mezclados con nueces. Son dos euros cada uno literalmente. El menú no informa sobre su peso ni cantidad. El plato de penne alla bolognese (24 euros) también es muy pequeño, se podían contar facilmente. El servicio de camareras no ayudó en nada, solo propuso traer otro plato mas y agregarlo a la cuenta. El ambiente frente al lago es lo unico que valió la pena.

The staff is very nice and welcoming, the view is amazing... but it is not enough... the pasta dishes that we ate were extremely expensive for the amount of food served and honestly bad. I'm sorry but I do not recommend.

Personale molto cordiale, ma questo non compensa il cattivo sapore dei piatti e soprattutto i prezzi esorbitanti. Abbiamo pagato con amarezza in tutti i sensi, mi dispiace ma evitatelo.

My boyfriend and I wanted to sit down at 5 PM, but the waiter, who also spoke English, told us they were closing, even tho they weren't. We passed by the place later and they were still open serving appetizers and other drinks. I'm leaving a bad review because he was rude in lying by saying "we are closing." Maybe he just didn't feel like working. io e il mio ragazzo volevamo sederci alle 5 di pomeriggio. Ma il cameriere che parlava anche in inglese, nonostante ci fosse posto a sedere, ci ha detto che stavano chiudendo quando non era vero. Anche perché ci siamo passati vicino al locale dopo ed erano ancora aperti a servire aperitivi e altro. lascio la brutta recensione per la scortesia nel mentire dicendo "we are closing", forse non aveva voglia di lavorare.

Dopo 2h di macchina per visitare la spiaggia abbiamo provato a ordinare al bar, a parte il fatto che non ci fosse nessuno che parlasse italiano ne inglese, il servizio è stato veramente brusco, c'erano tutti i tavoli liberi ma continuavano a dire che non c'era possono nemmeno per un pranzo veloce di 20 min. Abbiamo ordinato d'asporto ma la qualità era veramente bassa, solo la birra era buona. Sconsigliatissimo. Alla fine siamo andati in un ristorante in zona. Se venite qui portatevi le cose al sacco altrimenti rischiate di fare di 30 min per niente.

Non appena ci siamo seduti e abbiamo ordinato le birre, siamo stati cacciati senza spiegazione. Io ero addirittura in fila per ordinare al bar mentre i miei compagni erano seduti al tavolo. Non capisco perché ci abbiano trattato in questo modo. Abbiamo notato che altri turisti inglesi, arrivati dopo di noi senza prenotazione, sono stati fatti accomodare. Non posso accettare questo tipo di servizio discriminatorio. Vorrei sottolineare che sono di origini coreane, ma sono nato a Roma. Sconsiglio vivamente questo posto a chiunque cerchi un trattamento rispettoso e professionale.

Pessima esperienza! Non ci tornerei mai più… Proprietaria maleducata e camerieri che ignorano le ordinazioni. Ci siamo seduti e ci hanno cacciati, perché non abbiamo ordinato abbastanza. Sono andato con la mia famiglia composta da 4 persone, oltre a 5 panini e 4 drink, cosa avremmo potuto prendere di più? Come vi sedete vi diranno che dovete liberare il tavolo in 15 minuti per far accomodare il turno successivo, vedete voi..!!!

Prezzi fuori dalla norma! Trancio di pizza con mozzarella 16€ Panini 14€ Sconsigliato!

Giornata meravigliosa sul lago e rovinata nel tardo pomeriggio per aver ordinato 2 spritz da asporto: € 24, senza patatine ne niente da stuzzicare e neanche le hanno le patatine da venderti per mangiarle sulla spiaggia. Una cifra del genere NON È GIUSTIFICABILE..

Come ci siamo seduti siamo stati cacciati, la motivazione è stata “il tavolo è già prenotato” quando non c’era scritto da nessuna parte. Uno dei nostri amici era pure infortunato eppure si sono ostinati a non farci sedere. Sconsigliato
