Caffe Nazionale In Stresa

The service was very friendly. We had wine, pasta, panini, and ice cream sundaes (with lots of fresh fruit), all of which were delicious. I don't understand the other comments. The price/performance ratio was perfectly acceptable! At other restaurants in the area, you don't even get a chance to ask for a seat before you get thrown out. Plus, the pasta was significantly worse elsewhere with better reviews... we had a great time!

We ordered different types of pasta that arrived promptly, we had a very good dinner and the desserts are very good. The attention was fast and the staff is very helpful. The prices are normal for a tourist place like the one where it is located.

We spontaneously went there for dinner yesterday. We must have been lucky, judging by all the comments here. The food wasn't top-notch, but it was perfectly acceptable for the prices. The drinks were also excellent. As for the service, everyone was polite and friendly, despite being stressed because it was very busy. So, if you want to eat "cheaply," you can definitely go there.

We went there for lunch. The location is nice, very central, but unfortunately everything else wasn't so good. The staff was very friendly but very distracted. They stood in the middle of the tables for almost 10 minutes, looking around to see where the food was going. (10 minutes after ordering, they had already forgotten the table where the food was supposed to go.) The food was okay; you could tell it was processed food... so not particularly fresh. I wouldn't necessarily eat there again.

We stopped here for lunch. The meal was nice, we didn't receive everything we ordered but didn't pay for it either. Limited choices for gluten free. Omelette is very nice freshly made. Toilets were disgusting, urine on the floor, no toilet seat, there was soap and fresh water.

Wonderful experience. The young waiter was a delight. He politely explained the composition of the dishes to us, with tact and humor. He deserves a raise. We'll be back for him. Everything was delicious. The tomatoes were cut in a way you wouldn't believe. The trompe l'oeil of Parma ham hiding the melon made my wife and I laugh a lot.

Good stay but room overlooking a very noisy place dedicated to restaurant terraces. Very poor breakfast...small and always full parking lots. Very difficult to park.

This place caught our attention because the sun was shining on the tables on a very cold day. We decided to sit down for lunch, but after 50 minutes waiting for a salad and pasta, we realized that something was not right and to our surprise, everyone around us was the same. So we asked what was going on and they had practically forgotten. In the end we decided not to eat there, and although we were willing to pay for the order, the waiter told us no, and to apologize. It is true that this place has to improve its organization, but I give it about 3 stars because I think that the gesture they had with us was respectful.
