First time excellent result if you love fish and one of the most beautiful restaurants in the province of Vercelli where you are pampered greatly thanks Franz and all the staff

Franz is always a sure thing. The fish is exquisite, and the raw ham is top-notch. We always love returning. Compliments for the brittle, delicious.

Excellent food, the kindness in the dining room is that something that immediately puts you at ease, the preparation of dishes, wines and cooking methods that makes the difference, sublime food, the raw fish better than a seafood place, the help with pairing with refined wine, it's worth going!

I came across this restaurant almost by chance for a business dinner, and the experience was truly excellent. The owner, besides being extremely kind, was very flexible in accommodating our request for an earlier time. The quality of the food and wines was truly fantastic, all in a pleasant and well-kept location. Highly recommended!

There are restaurants where you eat well. And then there are places like this, where every time you enjoy a unique experience that stays with you until you return. For us, Franz's restaurant has been a favorite for many years, filled with flavors—always unique and different—that excite, sincere smiles, and attention that today seems to belong to another era. Here, you feel like a guest welcomed with affection, delicacy, and rare professionalism. Their gratinated scallops have become our greatest indulgence: even during pregnancy, they were my happy thought. And perhaps this is precisely Franz's secret: every dish not only nourishes, but creates memories. The chef's dishes are unique creations that constantly change and are almost unrepeatable, like snapshots of beauty and flavor, capable of surprising each time and remaining etched in the memory. Choosing Franz for our baby's baptism was a natural choice, because we wanted a place that would make everyone feel loved, pampered, and at home. And so it was. Every detail was perfect, every course prepared with love, every gesture full of grace. Seeing the excited and surprised eyes of our guests was proof we'd chosen the right place. Even the orecchiette pasta first course won over my Apulian family! A special thank you to all the staff: wonderful people, attentive, elegant in their manners, and incredibly knowledgeable. They handled even complex needs like celiac disease and food allergies with extraordinary care and meticulousness, making every guest feel at ease and important. Franz continues to relentlessly fill our hearts, as well as our stomachs, and has now become part of our history. See you next time! ♥️

Franz welcomes you into a setting that, despite its dated feel, won me over. The service is more than good and friendly. Unfortunately, however, when it comes to the food, I was decidedly disappointed: the "cold and hot" appetizer, the first half of which is very good and spot-on, while the second is bland and doesn't make the most of the fish used; the rice with scallops and Trevisana cheese is a simple, well-cooked risotto, but the scallop is missing and the Trevisana cheese is mixed with the Gruyere cheese—it's bland; the chitarrine are spot-on but nothing special, and the meagre, on the other hand, was well-cooked and paired well. These are the dishes I can speak about, and in the end, I enjoyed it, but the dishes didn't thrill me.

A delightful surprise upon returning from our holiday in Trentino. A very elegant restaurant, serving delicate cuisine based on fish and shellfish. The staff were very friendly and helpful. An address to keep in mind for enjoying a good meal in the small village of Formigliana.

We really enjoyed the service and our food. I loved the lobster linguine.
