We stumbled upon this restaurant based on the positive reviews, and it was a revelation! The ambiance and service were fantastic! A small but extremely fine selection of dishes. The beef fillet with potato gratin was incredibly tender and delicious! The pasta or gnocchi in the first course were also a dream! We're going back here today on our last evening to enjoy this taste experience! Today with dessert (a chocolate cigar—what a wonderful idea for dessert).
It's OK. However, given the high prices and reviews, we expected more sophistication, etc. It wasn't anything extraordinary.

Had a great meal in this restaurant, first Vitello tonato, then Perch fillet and for dessert Tarte Tatin, served warm with vanilla ice cream. Great service, they speak the languages, nothing to complain about.
Make sure to book in advance.

A fabulous evening with the best food and wine, great suggestions from restaurant staff, who were friendly and professional. The BEST baccalau ravioli ever and a fabulous introduction to the Grigniolino grape. A destination restaurant!

One of the best osteria's in Baveno. If you ever visit Baveno pick this restaurant. Great food & wines paired with relaxed but very attentive hosts make a visit a memorable occasion.

An amazing Italian dinner! It is tucked down a laneway and has indoor and covered outdoor seating. Definitely need to book, saw many groups being turned away. Food was stunning, the gnocchi and pasta were delicious and the meatballs were tender. The tiramisu was also very yummy. Service was great, the food came out slowly but we didn’t mind as we could enjoy the beautiful evening. Overall a fabulous meal!

Great little restaurant. Very dedicated staff. The food is fantastic and worth the price. Not overpriced, great recipes. I'd be happy to go back.
Ristorante con pochi tavoli ma con un servizio perfetto,personale disponibile e gentile,tutto buono dagli antipasti ai secondi,ottimo il dolce a forma di sigaro accompagnato da un buon rum
Consigliato
El hecho de que está fuera de la calle principal a lo largo del lago Maggiore, pero se ha mantenido en el negocio durante tanto tiempo, lo dice todo.
Lo descubrí por accidente cuando buscaba un lugar para cenar. El personal era muy amable y muy profesional. La comida era genial! Vinos de buena calidad disponibles y todo fue preparado por expertos.
Volveré allí de nuevo si estoy en Bavena.
