Ristorante Bilacus

We were hoping for good things tonight after some doozies so far this week. Ristorante Bilacus did not disappoint. A beautifully presented restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating situated on the famous steps of Salita Serbelloni in Bellagio. Paul had again prebooked and paid a deposit so again we had high yet cautious hopes of things to come. We were sat on the terrace and it was a lovely fairly intimate setting which was surprising as it’s on such a main walk through. The staff were AMAZING 🥰 attentive, friendly, helpful, industrious and did I mention attentive ? Our wine glasses were never empty, my seat was pulled out for me when I stood up and every request was met with graciousness. The food….the food was sublime ! We had a burrata and caviar appetiser to share - sweet baby tomatoes and the creamiest, lightest burrata. For primo I had risotto - al dente and perfetto- and Paul had Gnocchi with duck ragu- divine. We then had the fish catch of the day to share - delicate sea bass with a very manageable side of potatoes and veg lightly flavoured with fennel. Again my gluten free needs were met with knowledge and advice that left me feeling comfortable and we left feeling sated and sleepy 😂 thank you to all the staff of Bilacus - we will be back ( on Wednesday actually 😂 ) Grazie mille, Paul and Zoë

Beautiful place with great food. Also has gluten free options. The service was a bit slow, but acceptable as there are lots of customers. You really need to book in advance to get good table though.
