Review:

La Punta is a very popular restaurant in Bellagio, with a great view of the lake and traditional Italian dishes. My mixed fried fish included whole fish such as sardines and was light rather than deep-fried, and my partner Owl’s La Punta salad included carrots, tomatoes, walnuts, ham, cheese and lettuce. We washed these dishes down with a lovely glass of prosecco each and watched the sparkles of the light on the water.

La Punta is a good choice for dates on holiday, friends or families – the staff are efficient and helpful and there is a grassy area where children can play below the restaurant.
