Il Vicoletto In Stresa

07/10/2025: A charming restaurant/shop near Domodossola, where you're immediately struck by a vast and carefully curated selection of wines and spirits, the hallmarks of the restaurant's atmosphere. You can order several bottles, with a wide selection of local and Italian wines, as well as wines by the glass, served with a pump system to prevent oxidation of the remaining wine in the bottle. The cuisine is very good, with simple yet well-prepared and beautifully presented ingredients; the main courses are pleasantly generous. The desserts are unique and excellent. The bill is a bit high, reasonable for the main courses and a bit high for the appetizers and first courses; I would avoid the €2.50-€3 cover charge. I would have offered a couple of extra amaros on a bill of over €500 that included the purchase of a large bottle of whisky. You can also purchase local cheeses, jams, and other products. For those who want to treat themselves every now and then, this is an excellent place that is worth a visit for both the food and the good drinks.

03/10/2025: Currently there’s no sign for the restaurant so appears it doesn’t exist and/or not open. Feels like a true local spot… trust me one of you be brave and go to the door up the short flight of stairs off the main road & you won’t be disappointed! Lovely service even if a language barrier sometimes, great selection of wine and yummy fresh food, recommend if you’re in the area :)
