San Rocco In Orta san giulio

22/12/2025: If you're walking around Arona and aren't sure whether you're hungry or just feeling a little peckish before a meal, this place is perfect. They serve main courses or tapas, and indeed, even the tapas are quite filling: the one with tomino cheese and honey is a real treat. The main courses are incredibly rich: mine was the tagliatelle with pumpkin, super creamy and incredibly balanced thanks to the fried sage and black cherry flavor. The tiramisu is served in a chocolate cup, which helps to cut through the grease. If you don't drink, the price isn't outrageous.

21/12/2025: CAFE DE LA SERA. Today, more than ever, the story of one of Arona's iconic lakeside venues continues. Let's put aside the fond memories of an after-dinner venue for the night; the management of these dynamic young people has created an incredibly contemporary and high-quality format. High-end themed cocktail menu, an impressive wine list packed with big names, provenances, and discoveries, and a small winemaker you'll rarely find so refined and well-structured. The youthful atmosphere has remained, and that's wonderful, and if we want to eat in the "Small" Room, which is more of a restaurant, it's truly a pleasure. What did I mean by Format? The food! We enjoyed it and had fun. The quality was top-notch, the cuisine using excellent ingredients, and for some dishes, you could choose a Tappa portion or a whole plate. I challenge you... reading the menu, you'll want to try everything. We also tried the traditional Plin, and here we truly got a standing ovation because the handmade quality beats even the Langhe-style establishments. Congratulations! DON'T MISS THE CAFE AT ANY TIME OF YOUR EVENING, the dear "Old" Legendary CAFE.
