Ristorante La Punta was the perfect ending punctuation to our rather relaxing and wonderful northern Italian trip. We had one night in Bellagio before flying out of Milan, and we wanted to try a place off the beaten path. It was July, the breeze was blowing gently from the lake and the walk from the center of town was romantic and quaint, on a quiet road that winds around the lake. Once you arrive at the restaurant you can request to be seated on the patio, and we were lucky enough to be seated directly in the center with Lake Como spread out before us. The wait staff was charming and attentive. We did have 3 different waiters throughout service, which was a bit disarming but overall it worked out well -- but only because each of them injected a bit of their own personality to their portion. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing. There is nothing more perfect than sipping a nice white wine, eating Lavarello (local white fish) and gazing out at Lake Como with the sun setting. The food complimented the environment perfectly. It was well timed, artfully prepared and delicately flavored. After dinner we took a walk on the pier which is situated 50 yards from the restaurant, and watched the quiet dusk settle into night. We couldn't have asked for a better way to end our last night in Italy.
