La Piazzetta
6 Piazza RomaFantastic food and great spot for people watching!
Superb restaurant - set next to the river, nice views, ultra friendly staff and a interesting menu with modern twists on Italian classic dishes. Start with pre-dinner drinks in Bistro Argegno (negroni cocktail recommened) then head here for dinner! My favorite - tagliata di vitello con sale (strips of veal served with many different flavours of salt).

Cafè Colombo
4 Piazza RomaThe best aperitivi in Argegno!
Fantastic bistro run by Robbie - set away from the piazza and offers just the best cocktails from a simply great mixologist! Go here when you're not fancying a big meal and be happy with food to share and cocktails. In our opinion also serves the best prosecco in Argegno - at only €3.00 a glass! Also the ham and mozzarella plate is incredible - you get the largest ball of mozzarella we've ever seen - don't offend him though by asking for Balsamic ;-)

A superb little wine shop with an incredible selection of wine for you to try. All wine is decanted there for you and at the volume you require. i.e. 1 litre, 2 litre etc etc. Our recommendation - the rose prosecco. Ultra good prices! €2-4 per bottle.

A very good wine selection and located in a nice location for people watching. Prosecco at €3 a glass is very good value.

A real hidden gem! Located a 5 minute walk out of Argegno (from the piazza) - views over the rooftops of the town to the lake. An ancient crotto with traditional vaulted ceilings - if there is a large group of you they can even do BBQs - note the climb up there is steep, but the roll back into town is easy - flat non slippy shoes recommended. Huge wine selection!
