CAFE-BAR
OFFLINE MAP
Have at least one coffee in the lovely Art Noveau Bar Rossi, where Bellagio's bour-
geoisie matrons come to gossip. Set back from the lake, beneath the arcad of
Piazza Mazzini, the historical interior is carved Cuban mahogany and was inspired
by the Edwardian tearooms that Mr Rossi frequented in the early 20th century. (

16 Castiglioni
WINE BAR
OFFLINE MAP GOOGLE MAP
Going strong since 1958, Castiglioni's wonderful deli bar has evolved to include a
wine bar and now a restaurant. Sample dozens of local wines with plates of sweet
procuitto, or lunch in the pleasant outdoor patio. The menu, which includes all
manner of charcuterie plates, lake fish and mountain meat dishes, is surprisingly
refined and great value. (

17 Il Gabbiano
BAR
OFFLINE MAP
About 3km north of Cadenabbia, Menaggio has a cute cobblestone centre, and a
square overlooking the lake. Arranged along the waterfront are a couple of cafes
that are perfect for lake-gazing and people-watching. Il Gabbiano has the best ter-
race. Order an ice cream or a glass of wine and sit back and enjoy the laid-back
vibe. (
