For my son's birthday, we had dinner at this lovely restaurant in the center of Stresa. We ate truly deliciously: the spaghetti with octopus was flavorful, fragrant, and beautiful to look at; the veal with tuna sauce, asparagus, and savory zabaglione was a feast for the eyes and the palate.
The place is very charming, the service attentive but not intrusive, and the owner was present and extremely kind.
We had a truly wonderful time, and I thank Raffaele for his hospitality.

Wonderful, meticulously maintained venue, very welcoming staff, very kind owners, top-quality food. What more could you ask for in a restaurant in Stresa's main square? I highly recommend it. Thanks Camilla 🥰

Stresa has been a long-time love of ours — we’ve been coming here for more than 10 years. On one hand, it’s a little sad to see some of the old family-run authentic restaurants disappear; on the other hand, it’s wonderful that new, modern places with truly excellent cuisine are opening.
We stopped by here out of nostalgia — and not only were we not disappointed, we were genuinely impressed. We don’t eat much these days, and we also had dinner planned later at our favorite restaurant in Stresa (which I already wrote about, but will definitely write about again!), so we decided to share just one dish.
And what a dish it was: saffron risotto with ossobuco — absolutely incredible! Proper risotto, perfectly cooked meat. Bravo to the chef!
Special praise also goes to the service — both the management and the staff were simply excellent. As was the Italian wine 😉
Thank you, wishing you success and prosperity — and definitely expect us back again!
P.s. The only issue: prosecco should not be served in red wine glasses 😂 At first I thought it was some kind of quirky signature touch, but then I noticed that other guests were actually getting different glasses.
I’m not lowering my rating because I love Stresa and I love this place 🙂 But please don’t do that — reputation and the overall impression really do matter.

Upscale dining place ($$$) with delicious food! Don’t miss it if you like fine Piedmontese cuisine. Attentive staff and first-class cuisine.
