| - My wife and I were married in Lake Como on June 29th. Our Wedding planner (Sally from WeddingBox Lake Como) set us up with a 32-person rehearsal dinner at La Punta for the night before the wedding. La Punta is a 10 minute walk from the boat dock in Bellagio (turn left and follow the main street). When you arrive from the street, you actually walk up the back of the restaurant - there are a couple of signs, but rest assured that you will eventually see the restaurant below the street and towards the water. You will then have to walk down a cute little windy cobblestone stairway or you can follow street down and around the side. There is a beautiful grassy area with shade trees and benches that the guests could relax at before dinner. The kids liked it because they could run around (we arrived a little early). When we arrived, we were taken to a private table in the back that overlooked the lake. The grounds were immaculately maintained and everywhere you looked was like a picture out of a movie. When we arrived, we ordered the wine for the table; the food menu had been pre-selected. The waiter, Niko was very entertaining and spoke perfect English. He helped us with the wine, which was very good and wound up costing around 25 euro per bottle. We also got a very large bottle of well-priced Chianti Classico for 160 euro; Niko presented us with this very large bottle in its own wooden case before the primi and it was a huge hit with our guests - we drank the whole bottle then brought the bottle and case back to the states with us. At the end of the night, we were able to take home the unfinished bottles of wine and water, which came in handy later on at the hotel. We chose caprese salad for our antipasti, meat lasagne for our primi piatti and the de-boned "Lavarello" fish in butter and sage for our secondi (Lavarello is an excellent local, flaky white fish). The children were served two courses of similar food, but prepared in more kid-friendly ways. We finished with espresso and opted to leave out the dessert so we could casually walk back to the boat dock and get gelato. Note that the last boat to Lenno from Bellagio was at 7:40pm. By sitting down to eat at 5:30pm, although a little early for our liking, we had plenty of time to get gelato and arrive back at the boat dock on time. The food and the view were incredible. All in all, the meal was VERY affordable, which was one of our requirements, and the experience was priceless.
