High above the glistening waters of Lake Como, deep within the lush green hills of Bellagio, lies an experience that is as rare as it is unforgettable. At Ristorante Salice Blu, we don’t just offer world-class cuisine—we invite you on a journey into the heart of the land with one of the most exclusive and authentic activities in the region: truffle hunting in Lake Como.
This is not a staged tour. It’s not a performance. Salice Blu Bellagio experience is the real thing—a raw, emotional, and exhilarating adventure into the woods, guided by our expert truffle dogs (never pigs!), where the silence of the forest meets the thrill of the unexpected. It’s one of the most requested and cherished experiences we offer, and for good reason: it captures the soul of the territory in a way few things can.
True luxury is found in authenticity
While Lake Como is famed for its glamorous villas and sparkling lakeside promenades, there’s another side to this land – one that whispers rather than shouts. A side made of ancient trees, earthy aromas, and the quiet bond between a dog and its handler. Truffle hunting Lake Como style is not about ostentation. It’s about connection—to nature, to history, to the food that nourishes both body and soul.
You’ll walk alongside our trained dogs through secret paths, watching them sniff, scratch, and finally pause—tail wagging, nose to the ground—at the exact spot where a truffle lies hidden beneath the soil. It’s a moment of quiet triumph, of discovery, of wonder. And it’s yours.
From forest to plate: the art of Salice Blu
The journey doesn’t end in the forest. Once we return, the magic continues in the kitchen. The freshly unearthed truffle becomes the centerpiece of a culinary masterpiece, prepared by chef Luigi Gandola, who personally guides guests through this intimate experience from start to finish.
Every dish created with your truffle tells a story—of the earth, of tradition, of passion. This is not just a tasting. It is a celebration of flavor and craftsmanship. The aromas are intense, the textures are sublime, and the experience is unforgettable.
An experience for the senses – and the soul
Our truffle hunting Lake Como adventure is not for rushed tourists or staged photo-ops. It’s for those who crave something deeper—curious souls, lovers of food, seekers of authenticity. It’s for people who know that true luxury lies not in gold or marble, but in muddy shoes, fresh air, and the joy of finding something rare and real.
That’s because at Salice Blu, we believe in storytelling through food, in emotion over exhibition. And when our guests return from the woods with sparkling eyes and truffle in hand, we know they’ve discovered more than a delicacy—they’ve discovered a part of Lake Como few ever see.
