Grotto Mazzardit In Pino sulla sponda del lago maggiore

Beautiful restaurant directly on Lake Maggiore.

Beautiful restaurant with a superb view of the lake. The service is attentive and the food is delicious! I highly recommend it!

🍷 Stylish restaurant with a fantastic location – with some minor flaws We've been visiting the Marzzardit restaurant right on the shores of Lake Maggiore for many years – and the location remains exceptional. The terrace offers a magnificent view of the lake, and the ambiance is stylish and inviting. What's particularly nice is that many guests even arrive by boat from Ascona or Locarno, which gives the place a special atmosphere. The wine list is impressive and leaves nothing to be desired – even high-quality wines from Tuscany are not uncommon here. Our red wine for €80 was excellent and absolutely reasonable in price. The freshly baked bread also deserves praise – aromatic and prepared with love. The service was, as usual, friendly and attentive. However, those who arrive without a reservation should expect a wait or cancellations – tables are in high demand, which speaks volumes about the quality of the establishment. The evening was a mixed bag from a culinary perspective: While the homemade meatballs and creamy panacotta were very convincing, the pasta with truffle and vongole unfortunately didn't hold up. For almost €30, it was noticeably lacking in flavor – a shame, because that shouldn't happen at this level. 💬 Conclusion: A stylish place with plenty of charm, excellent wine, and a beautiful view. Minor weaknesses in the kitchen marred the overall impression this time, but we'd be happy to return – hoping for more consistency with the main courses.

A wonderful place, the staff makes you feel at home, and the food is delicious, both classic and sophisticated dishes with never-ending pairings. One word, all #livellanza

Stunning venue overlooking the lake, friendly and professional service. Highly recommended!

Our favorite hot spot on the way to Luino, just across the Italian border. Great ambiance, excellent food, and a wine list that leaves nothing to be desired.

Wonderful view, fine cuisine, and warm service – with minor setbacks during peak times Yesterday, seven of us and our dog had lunch on the beautiful roof terrace – the view of Lake Maggiore is simply stunning. The ambiance: stylish, cozy, and inviting. Even the appetizers were a highlight – delicious, skillfully prepared, and lovingly presented. The main courses also impressed with their quality and freshness. A particularly pleasant experience: the waiter took the time to explain the dishes to us in detail, including the preparation and ingredients – this built trust and was a pleasant surprise. The service was friendly and attentive. As the restaurant filled up, however, the staff were a bit at their limits – minor things were forgotten, but this was more than compensated for by the friendly nature of the team. We're all human, and the friendliness was always there. The restaurant's prices are on the higher end – not unusual for the region. However, if you value quality, a great culinary experience, and a magnificent view, you'll be in good hands here. We'd love to come back!

We visited it couple of times and we had in both occasions waiting really long times for anything coming from the kitchen

Idyllic food, excellent service, dream location.

Great place, price/performance ratio is not right
