OK here are the goods on Bellagio:

We ate here, probably the most traditional food.

This restaurant is in town, very cute, great terrace and very good food.

If memory serves me, this is the place with the amazing mussels.

Ristorante Bilacus S.N.C.
Salita Serbelloni, 32, 22021 Bellagio Como, Italy
+39 031 950480

And we stayed here:
Very charming, great pool, great service, fantastic view. I believe we ate lunch here too and it was quite good.

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited.
Nance, I'm going in the beginning of September (next Thursday to be exact), so I'm bummed that I'll miss you! I do get to NYC at least once a year and would love to meet up then! I'll be "tripping" for two and a half weeks.
Paul, I guess I won't even try for that restaurant!
Wino, We'll try our card...
Mary, Jean, Kathy/Pete (sorry I get confused sometimes about which one of you posted :oops: ) I appreciate the info!
And Amy, always glad to "see" you (going to buy some amadei chocolate (porcelana) in Italy. Woo hoo!
There is one restaurant near Como that a chef friend of ours recommended, Locanda de Isolda. We have lunch reservations for there.
One of the Nancys :D

I did read that book Nance. I took notes. Which arrondismonte are you staying in? As I said, I'll be in the 6th, at least at the beginning of the trip.

Have a wonderful time!!!

I'm baaaaack! Great trip, amazing food.

@Mary: Went to Bilachus, in Bellagio and it was wonderful!
Hiked the hard trail of the cinque terre (and it was HARD), in order to balance out the eating.

@Nance: We went to two places in Paris which were really good:
A la Biche au Bois 45, Avenue Ledra-Rollin 75012 Paris phone: 01 43 43 34 38 (I think it is near the Gare de Lyons and Bastille Metro stops) Really good coq au vin, casual place, friendly staff.

The other was called Oscar, a less casual place but really good food. I had excellent duck breast.
Address: 6, rue de Chaillot
75106 Paris
phone: 01 47 20 26 92 in or near the 8th arrondissement.

Drove through parts of Italy and now I want to make my own pasta (actually have been interested for a while). I need recommendations for good pasta sheet machine/rollers (which I hope to use in my baking too), good pesto genovese recipes among others which I will request later :D
TIA
Nancy

Hey Nance,
I'm excited for you! I wish that I could remember the name of the boulangerie in the left bank that sold us a hot, fresh from the oven baguette. We had a good time walking around there. Never got to fauchon, but managed to find all kinds of food places :shock:
Have a blast!
Another Nancy :D

Nance, I just reviewed my new Food and Wine magazine and it has a lot of stuff on French food, but also restaurants, hotels and sweet shops in Paris. It's the October issue. You might want to check it out. :D
