| - This is a great little place for a glass/bottle/wine tasting at any time of the day or evening. The wine list is dizzying; even the offerings by the glass are extensive. Three-wine tastings in eight or ten combinations are on the lists. The menu offers a combination of cold or warm dishes to go with the wines, but it isn't a place for lunch or dinner, really. It's a place you might start an evening before you go to dinner or stop for a visit with friends.
It's a small, stone grotto-like café set into a hillside on a stone stairway just off the main tourist arcade, yet the ambience is cozy and friendly. A combination of locals and tourists, couples and families, Italians, Americans, French...you get the idea. Extremely knowledgeable, multi-lingual staff who welcome you as soon as you walk in the door.
And the prices are reasonable: by-the-glass prices start at 4, wine tastings at about 17, plates at around 10. We really liked this place. If we lived in Bellagio, this is the place we'd frequent.
