Great view, but overpriced and unfriendly service
The restaurant's location is truly stunning – the view over Lake Maggiore is impressive and makes the visit special. The food was good, but the prices are significantly too high for what's on offer. The coperto and desserts, in particular, are exorbitantly expensive. Unfortunately, the service wasn't up to the standard you'd expect at these prices: One server became very unfriendly when we simply asked for the restroom. Overall, a nice place for the view, but not an overall pleasant experience.

One of the best restaurants of my life! ❤️ And so a huge favorite for my wife and I on our 10th anniversary!
First of all, needless to say, the location is incredible. We dined on the terrace right across from Isola Bella. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the dishes are refined, worthy of a 5-star restaurant. I've never eaten such creamy and tender meat. The prices are a bit high, of course, but they reflect the high-end establishment.

We did not stay here, we just stopped by for lunch whilst visiting the island briefly. Absolutely beautiful and very peaceful, with excellent service and quite nice food. Don’t let the fancier menu and higher price tags scare you away from this place - it’s more than worth it when every other restaurant is overcrowded and noisy! We enjoyed our meal here.

Sleeping in the middle of Lake Maggiore, and especially on the most "authentic" of the islands, Fisherman's Island, is definitely worth the trip.
This hotel is full of charm, very well-maintained, the rooms are beautiful and all overlook the lake.
The gourmet restaurant, enjoyed in the evening by the water, when the island is empty of visitors, is an unforgettable experience.
The only downside: the digital wine list, with only two copies for the entire restaurant, causes a wait unworthy of the establishment. It's all the more unfortunate given the very attractive contents of the wine cellar.

Hands down the best place to eat on the island due to the panoramic views.

A wonderful stay at this hotel, on this timeless island. The setting is enchanting. The triple rooms on the second floor are magical, with incredible views.
The food is very good, certainly expensive, but with quality ingredients and careful attention to detail.

Good food. Several set menus to choose from or a la carte. We only had one main course each and a vitello tonato to share.
Everything was really good.

Beautiful hotel in a wonderful location...
Breakfast is unfortunately a bit monotonous; some fresh fruit (except for 2-3 apples) and alternatives to fatty sausages and cheeses would have been appropriate...especially since there's a professional kitchen. There's plenty of room for improvement there.
You should also be aware that in the evenings, after the day-trippers have left, few things are still open on the island...but a few nights there are definitely very relaxing...

Arrivare al Verbano è sempre un grande piacere, location eccellente, atmosfera spettacolare, personale cordiale e competente. Ma: il vero spettacolo è quando arriva la tua ordinazione, tutto buono esattamente come volevi, la mia Famiglia ed io abbiamo passato una giornata fantastica, condita da allegria e coccole. Grazie ancora al Verbano ed a tutto il suo accogliente personale, a presto.
