Once upon a time in the Alto Vergante there were many clubs with traditional cuisine, rustic wines, popular prices and clientele. The Gatto Blu club in Fosseno has transformed into a restaurant, but bringing with it the culinary tradition of the club, such as braised donkey with polenta, risotto with Mottarone mountain cheeses. Then the addition of Mediterranean cuisine, excellent pasta with sardines Messina style, fish caught from Lake Maggiore, and the lightness of the vegetables from the restaurant's large organic garden, marinated in Japanese style, have created a restaurant where, after years of frequenting, it still manages to surprise me. The young couple, Gianluca the Chef, and Valentina his wife, the dining room manager, know how to accompany the customers' gastronomic research with a smile and professionalism.
Staff always kind and efficient. The location is the historic one of the club, in a stone house, and a terrace, where you can eat in the cool of the 650 meters of altitude of Fosseno, which overlooks the other stone houses of the village. The price is no longer that of the club, but the quality-price ratio is excellent.
5 stars deserved.

Auf der Suche nach einem traditionellen Restaurant , fernab vom See und Trubel, sind wir aufgrund der Bewertungen hier her . Und nicht enttäuscht worden. Sehr freundlicher Service und sehr gute italienische Gerichte. Es empfiehlt sich manche Gerichte zu teilen um mehreres probieren zu können. Wir waren rechtzeitig im Ort und haben erst den phantastischen Blick auf den See genossen. Auch wir empfehlen nicht mit großem Auto in die engen Gassen zu fahren. Parkt am Besten am Piazzq Sant‘ Agata. Restaurant ist nur 200 m zu Fuß .

I had lunch at this restaurant on a weekday....
A slightly rustic place, excellent welcome and a non-formal environment as I like it... plus all the dishes ordered were to my liking...
Good value for money..
If I were to return to the area I would happily return.

Impossible to find negative sides: welcoming environment, trained and smiling staff, fast (but not anxious) service, literally extraordinary food.
A simple cuisine with happy and out of the ordinary intuitions; choices made not to amaze but to serve the dish itself with top quality products at an absolutely reasonable price. Well done chef Gianluca and well done to all the staff, see you soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A mouth-watering experience!
Il Gatto Blu is a real pearl for those who love genuine cuisine and zero km products. Each dish tells a story of freshness and quality, with authentic flavors that make you want to come back again and again!
The staff? A perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness: they welcome you with a smile and make you feel at home straight away. The service is impeccable, but never too formal, just how we like it!
Among the various wonders, a special note goes to the bigoli with deer ragout and tartare, true poetry ❤️
If you are looking for a place to eat well, relax and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, Il Gatto Blu is the right place. Highly recommended!
