There are a couple of gelato places in Varenna, but this was my favorite. Delicious gelato served in a cone or in copetta (cup), with several flavors available. This is take-out gelato, as you order at the window and can eat it as you stroll the lakefront promenade (although I think there are some tables available, too). Open late!
Favorite Dish: I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the flavors here!

The Albergo Milano is a hotel and restaurant, but we only ate here. It has to be the best place in town for a lovely meal al fresco, overlooking Lago di Como. We arrived at dusk, watched the lights come on across the lake, and received relaxed, attentive service. The ambience here is the biggest attraction--incredibly quiet and romantic, with only room for about ten tables on the veranda.
Reservations are essential here--I would have your hotel make one the day before, if possible.
Favorite Dish: I was a little jet-lagged for this meal, so I can't remember all the details! :) But my orchiette pasta was excellent, served very al dente as it always is in Italy--now I can only eat it that way.

An idyllic little town on Lago di Como
Compared to its close neighbor, Bellagio, I suppose Varenna isn't that well known. But I like it even better--a relatively unpretentious and quiet town on the banks of Lago di Como (Lake Como),...
