Corte della Rocchetta In Arona

Romantic, quiet, and relaxing. Excellent pinsa.

It's a stunning place, with a sweeping view of the lake, and of course of the fortress, its ruins, and its meadows. But not only that, the beauty and charm of the location don't detract from the quality of the menu. We ordered paniscia (for those who don't know, it's a rice dish with legumes—beans, in our case, but can also be cornetti or other legumes, alone or in combination)—meat, and more. It's a typical dish of the farmers of the Novara rice fields, where the inevitable rice was accompanied by whatever was available. Then, more rice, but with porcini mushrooms. Two identical dishes? Not at all. Rice, yes, but prepared differently: one "rustic" (paniscia) and one more, let's say, "snobbish" (porcini). Both very well prepared! Washed down with an excellent white Roero DOCG. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to offer advice. Reservations are highly recommended.

We had a very good meal, great location, and very reasonable prices.

Good restaurant, magnificent location, exceptional panoramic view, good quality, normal prices, excellent service, satisfied, we will be back.

Nothing special. But it's the only place where you can get a drink near the old castle.

The food is good and the place is truly fantastic, but the insects, especially the bees, didn't allow us to eat peacefully; in fact, the experience was unfortunately ruined. It's also a shame that there's no possibility (or will) to find a solution.

Restaurant with wonderful views of the lake. It's definitely worth a visit! It also offers a lunch/snack/dinner option. Very friendly staff and fast service.

I'd call the choice to serve the platter with non-local products a peculiar one, but when you include cured meats and porchetta from the Sibillini Mountains, you can't go wrong! The pinsa is also excellent, well-cooked and well-stuffed. Prices are average.

It was great here! Great food, good prices, and an amazing view! Service is good, they serve good Spritz, and there's a great selection of dishes. I had roast beef with amazing rosemary potatoes, highly recommended. If you come here while waiting for the little train, you should definitely enjoy the food :)

A very pleasant open-air restaurant with swings for children and attentive, knowledgeable staff. Good traditional food.
