Ristorante Mistral

Ristorante Mistral is one of the best restaurants you’ll find in Bellagio. We opted for the seven course tasting menu which was modified to accommodate my dietary restrictions without diminishing the gastronomy experience. I tried everything from fois gras to peacock. The signature dessert was a nice treat at the end of service—liquid nitrogen ice cream made right in front of you! Overall, the menu was creative and packed with flavor, the service was white glove and ambiance was beautiful. The views of the lake were breathtaking and I loved the live piano performance you can hear from the hotel lounge area. If you’re in Lake Como for a special occasion, I highly recommend making a reservation here.

We had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante Mistral and it was a fantastic experience. The tasting menu was full of creativity and flavour, beautifully presented from start to finish. The service was on another level – attentive, professional and genuinely warm, which made the evening feel even more special. It’s not an everyday place as it comes with a Michelin price tag, but for a memorable occasion it’s absolutely worth it. The atmosphere has a unique charm that stays with you long after you leave.

A little about the tasting menu (€250 per person) and related service if you are curious. Overall had a great time, but I have to mention the key points for people: The tartar with caviar (1st course) was on point. The peacock was not able to be tasted because it was drenched in seasoning and broth, which made it taste like pork. The grouper fish was overcooked making the texture squeaky rather than softly melting. The chef or the assistant needs to regain tastebud because their salting is way off. The waitress is very nice, the one with M tattoo on her neck behind ear, but had trouble explaining all the food in detail and her pronunciation was hard to understand as if she wanted to get away with saying it fast. The table experience was off as stains were not immediately covered and breadcrumbs were not removed in a timely manner. The pigeon was also on point and salted correctly. They shouldn’t have fried the gnocco with greens for the welcoming menu, because this is cheap taste. Let’s hear other people out and see if they deserve to maintain the one Michelin star. I think they need to be inspected. Important 💔: The manager who is tall and bald had claimed that the two corner tables in the forefront of lakeview were booked six months in advance, but it was discovered that this was an exaggeration according to guests. This small lie made me mistrust the peacock and the related explanation. Overall, satisfied with the ambience and the view and the mood. Not so much the excellence of the food. It is possible the chef was absent and the manager is too egotistical as a result.

This place has a very good menu selection and the food is great. Not sure why people are posting prices to be very expensive because it is not. Appetizer, main course, drink and water was about €39. The manager and the wait staff were marvelous, very attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend it.

This place was amazing. This review is about the hotel bar and Mistral the restaurant. The bar - the attention was fabulous. My husband ordered a gin and tonic. They said there is an experience with it. So they sprayed aromas and added floral pieces into his drink. He said it was delicious. They brought us some aperitif to have while we ate. Mistral. Worth every penny. Every course is explained to you. Our food and fishes were delicious. You can. Goose a preset 5 course meal or do it ala cart. They changed our napkins 3 times. They would refill our water as soon as we put it down. If I left they would put my napkin back in my lap. There were no gaps in service. Ur all flowed well. It was a few hours with the most spectacular view of Lake Como and 5 star food. If I ever return, I will definitely return.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Friendly and professional staff. Beautiful piano music. Fabulous somaliere. Strongly recommended.

My husband and I went here for our 20th wedding anniversary and it was the most spectacular meal. We’ve been to a number of Michelin rated restaurants and this one surpasses them all. The service was impeccable the second we walked in and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The meal itself was extremely memorable. My husband had a shellfish appetizer that was a piece of art and also delicate and delicious. The peacock tortellini was otherworldly and the veal loin presentation was perfection. Service was responsive but not overbearing. It will be a meal I remember for the rest of my life.

This place is so overrated. Our waitress was clearly annoyed she had a table of 2 women and not a 60+ year old man with a 25 year old girlfriend. The whole place is super stuffy but not even in a classic cool way. The food was very mediocre considering what you pay. Quality seemed low compared to any other place in the area and the vibe was comparable to a funeral. The wine is actually decently priced for good bottles which was the only upside. The view is nice but we were seated behind the front row (maybe because we were two women and no men but I don’t want to make assumptions). Although there were 3 empty tables on the front row for an hour after we were seated. If you want to pay $300+ for a below average meal to show off then this is your spot. If you actually want a good dinner and experience then would not recommend.
