Bellagio

Bellagio is a Mediterranean restaurant in De Waterkant built around seasonal, freshly sourced produce, with a menu shaped by classical Italian training. Specials such as seafood risotto, zucchini fritters and a well-regarded soufflé change regularly on the restaurant's specials board, keeping the food fresh rather than fixed to a single set menu.

The shady terrace suits long, lazy lunches, while the stylish interior is designed to evoke a trattoria overlooking Italy's Lake Como, complete with the smells of basil and tomato drifting from the kitchen. Freshly baked bread and desserts such as a berry and pistachio mille-feuille round out the menu. The restaurant trades from 74 Prestwich Street in De Waterkant with free on-site parking, suiting diners after a relaxed, unhurried Italian meal.
