La Gallina che Fuma In Verbania

The attention paid to celiacs is truly admirable; almost the entire menu is available gluten-free, and the quality is truly excellent. The mixed fried fish is light and crispy, accompanied by unique and tasty sauces. Generous portions, with several interesting off-menu options also suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Very friendly and helpful staff, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Fair prices! A great find, we'll definitely be back!

🐓 La Gallina che Fuma – where the heart meets flavor There are places you don't just visit: you live them, you breathe them, you remember them. La Gallina che Fuma is one of them. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted not by a simple tavern, but by a small universe of sincere smiles, human warmth, and that rare magic that only comes when those who cook do so with true love. Stefano, Francesca, and Marianna—kindred spirits, twins not only in blood but in passion—together with their entire staff, have created a place that smells of home and dreams. Each dish is a caress on the palate, a story that begins with tradition and intertwines with the creativity of experimentation. Ancient flavors are given new life, shine with modernity, and are transformed into experiences that remain etched like happy memories. The appetizers are promises kept, the first courses tell ancestral stories, the second courses are as moving as a poem spoken in a whisper, and the desserts... the desserts are the exclamation point of a sensory journey. Every single course is a work of art, a universe of emotions. The wine list is a compendium of excellence, chosen with the same care as selecting a note for a perfect symphony. But the true essence of La Gallina che Fuma isn't just in the dishes: it's in the people. In those smiling glances, in that passion you can feel in the air, in that kind and authentic way of making you feel an integral part of something beautiful... And this is a beautiful gift. Thank you. A place like this isn't just described: it's lived, loved, remembered. And when you leave, you already dream of returning...

A cozy and welcoming place, with friendly staff. They're happy to adapt the menu for any allergies. Excellent ingredients, home-cooked food. A pleasant discovery. Recommended!

We went last night with a little girl. We had a wonderful time, the waitress was very friendly and explained in detail all the gluten-free dishes (practically all of them). A paradise for anyone with a celiac disease, and also suitable for vegans (they had a selection of vegan cheeses). They also have a children's menu (gluten-free too!). We had gluten-free fried fish and fondue with GF potatoes/crostini. Thank you, because it's truly a blessing to find a place where celiac disease isn't a problem!

Great restaurant and wonderful owners

Very fine regional cuisine, not fancy like at the lake in Pallanza, the whole team is very welcoming to its guests, a real insider tip!

Finally, together, we went to eat at this osteria. What can I say? Everything was perfect: good food, a wide selection of wines, and something very important for me: being lactose intolerant, I don't eat meat or cured meats, so thank you! I was able to eat a lot, especially the strudel, which was delicious. Great service, it felt like home. Thanks everyone, we'll see each other soon. Bye.

Discovered by chance, a cute place with welcoming, cheerful staff. The food was good, especially the tiramisu. Well done!

Well done, because making your guests feel at ease is a great thing. The dishes were excellent!

Very good service, lots of knowledge with cœliac problem. Your can eat without stress and the food is good. I loved the gluten free Tiramisu as well. Wonderful owner! Florie
