Lake-to-Plate Seafood With Front-Row Views in Bellagio
Ittiturismo Ristorante Mella is a family-run fish restaurant located in Bellagio, right by Piazza S. Giovanni Battista. Come for the warm welcome and stay for that unreal lake view—the kind where you look up from your fork and lose track of time.
This is Bellagio seafood done properly: simple, confident cooking that lets the catch shine. Expect super-fresh lake fish (often caught the same morning) served with bright, clean flavors and beautiful plating. Start with the bruschetta, then go for the mixed sharing plate so you can taste a little of everything—perfect if you’re indecisive or just hungry in the best way. The service keeps things moving without rushing you, and the atmosphere feels authentic rather than staged for tourists.
For value, this place hits the sweet spot: not bargain-basement, but the prices are genuinely reasonable for Bellagio—especially considering the location and quality. Think mid-range, with the kind of meal you’ll still talk about 40 birthdays later.
Insider tip: Reserve ahead (they’re popular), and book a lunch sitting for the best light and views—then order the sharing starters and linger. Go hungry and leave happy.

a week agoA great experience at a restaurant dedicated to fish, but which also caters to vegans and meat lovers. Good value for money, generous portions, and a very decent wine list.
