Ristorante Il Verbano In Stresa

A quick stop for lunch at this lovely spot overlooking the lake. The service is impeccable, the waitresses are lovely and attentive. The food is excellent. A place to remember if you want to treat yourself in every way. ♥️

Beautiful view over Lago Maggiore. Nice Garden to sit outside and enjoy drinks. We can't rate the food, but the coffee was warm and savory.

★★★★★ A truly exceptional dining experience on Isola dei Pescatori that left a lasting impression. Even the journey there was a highlight in itself: The complimentary boat trip included with the restaurant visit is a real bonus and makes the evening special from the very beginning. The crossing alone is quite impressive, especially as you also pass by the neighboring island. You usually have to pay separately for comparable boat trips—here, this experience is already part of the overall package. This makes the visit doubly worthwhile. The island itself is also absolutely worth seeing. We recommend planning your boat trip a little earlier so you have 15 to 30 minutes to stroll around Isola dei Pescatori before dinner and soak up the unique atmosphere. It's only about a five-minute walk from the dock to the restaurant, so everything is very easily accessible. The boat trip is usually an extra-early start to the experience, allowing you 15 to 30 minutes to stroll around Isola dei Pescatori and enjoy the special atmosphere. The return trip in the evening was particularly lovely: the boats run every 30 minutes until 10:00 p.m., allowing us to enjoy a wonderfully atmospheric night cruise. That alone made the visit worthwhile. The restaurant itself is very spacious and rather expansive. As a result, it doesn't feel quite as intimate and cozy as some smaller restaurants on the mainland. However, the cuisine is in a league that, in our opinion, is clearly close to Michelin-star quality. The food is high-quality, precise, and ambitious, the service is appropriately attentive, and overall, you can clearly sense the restaurant's high standards. Yes, the prices are also high—but entirely justified. When you consider the quality of the food, the entire experience, the included boat trip, and the island's unique ambiance, the value for money is absolutely excellent. A restaurant visit that is far more than just dinner — rather, a truly special experience that we will fondly remember. ✨👍😊

Beautiful hotel and fantastic restaurant. While the island is busy with tourists during the day it’s very calm and quiet in the evenings. The rooms with water view are very cute, waking up to that view and the sounds of the water is very unique. The feries run often, but some planning is required. Food in the restaurant and for breakfast was really good and the staff are very professional and friendly. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended... Friendly staff, breathtaking view, excellent cuisine with Marco Sacco's signature touch... Beautiful and clean place!!! We'll definitely be back!

Perfect for an aperitif in the sun

We were there for lunch with friends. The location is superb: a lovely garden near the lake with vines and a stunning view. The food was very good: shout out to the risotto. The service was perfect: kind and attentive. The price was high but not overpriced.

A fantastic location on the lake, with friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, and there was a fine wine selection.
