Highly recommended.
08/06/2026: I dined at La Rosa dei Venti in Stresa and overall the experience was positive, especially for the quality of the cuisine.
Among the dishes I particularly enjoyed were the spaghetti allo scoglio, well-prepared, rich in seafood and with a balanced flavor, and the gnocchi alla piemontese, tasty and well-executed, with a preparation that showcases local tradition.
The dessert selection was also excellent. The strudel accompanied by gelato was fragrant and pleasant, with a nice contrast between the warmth of the cake and the freshness of the gelato. The apple tart with gelato was also very good, well-made and perfect to end the meal.
Unfortunately, there were some aspects that penalized the final rating. The bread served in the basket had an unusual odor, likely due to the placemat used, which seemed to have been washed with a particularly strong detergent, so much so that it had soaked the bread itself. Furthermore, the table gave off an unpleasant odor, as if it had been cleaned with a cloth that had not been rinsed properly or dried thoroughly.
These are details that may seem minor, but they impact the overall customer experience. Considering the quality of the restaurant and the final bill, one would expect greater attention to these aspects.
It's still a good dining experience, thanks to well-prepared dishes and truly delightful desserts.
