Le Grandi Volte In Novara

05/06/2025: In May the restaurant starts to get crowded due to the presence of many tourists. The one next door is closed so we have some doubts whether there is room even for just two people. Instead we are made to sit inside and even on the veranda with a view of the lake. We are amazed by the contrast between the oilcloth tablecloth and the cloth napkins. The menu options are inviting and we order two appetizers with scallops and avocado pulp, a Milanese risotto with melted cheese and a plate of spaghetti with clams (which should have been tagliolini according to the menu) and two pistachio Bavarian creams, all accompanied by two glasses of Ribolla bianco. All the dishes are very successful and well presented. Courteous service that continued well beyond 3:00 pm and prices in line with the quality of the food and the tourist location. In conclusion, better than expected, with a few flaws.

30/05/2025: The food, service, and ambiance were really good – the location (right on the water) and the view (island) were both excellent. I would recommend the pizza 🍕 🍕 🍕, ....ours was really great.
