We went for brunch: the location on the lakeside was beautiful, and the idea of a short activity for the kids was a nice one. My daughter had fun making dough and toppings for a pizza, which was then baked and delivered. The food included in the entrance fee was limited: cured meats, fried gnocchi, and little else. The desserts and the freshly made crepe were good. It wasn't cheap, considering that water was also an extra charge, as was the cover charge.

Very nice place, friendly staff. We had an aperitif first and then lunch afterwards. Everything was excellent. We had a Margherita pinsa, a lobster ravioli, and a cheeseburger. They were all very good, but I have just one suggestion: the lobster ravioli (filled with lobster) wasn't sautéed with butter and sage. We would have preferred a bisque or lobster sauce.
Otherwise, highly recommended.

A beautiful location, with the right atmosphere, and fast, friendly service. We chose to try the pinsa tour for dinner, at a fixed price of €12 per person, excluding drinks, for a group of seven. We had a great time. The selection was limited, but the pinsas were made with excellent dough and top-notch ingredients. Even the pinsa with Nutella was included in the price. Kudos to everyone, a place that deserves to be always packed.

A truly positive experience! We'd already been for the pinsa tour (which was excellent), but this time we went for New Year's Eve dinner. The food was carefully prepared and excellent, with generous portions. For a busy holiday, the staff was incredibly attentive and courteous throughout. Compliments to everyone, from the waiters and chefs to the cashier, Augusta, and the owner, who were attentive, kind, and helpful. I highly recommend it...thanks for a wonderful evening...see you soon...

Discovered on Facebook thanks to the brunch offer for the December 8th holiday. Excellent location on the shore of Lake Varese. The interior isn't particularly large, but it's modern, well-decorated, comfortable, and functional. Buffet-style, with a variety of delicious options. Risotto alla Milanese served at your table. Very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

The place your Instagram feed says thank you for brunch... A bit undersized.
Wake up early, since we've booked the second round. Get dressed comfy, and off to Sunday brunch at Giulietta al Lago. The location is pure magic, the lake whispers "relax" to you, and you respond
with an enthusiastic "yes, this isn't a place, but a mood!" As soon as you arrive, the view of the lake hits you so hard that you think, "Okay, this is my new rich life I didn't know I had." But upon entering... The design is nice and modern, the atmosphere is casual but a bit anonymous. Be careful with the restrooms.
The fixed price of €20 is all a real winner.
The buffet is plentiful (savory pie, cold cuts, fried gnocchi, desserts...), but here comes the "constructive criticism" side.
Despite the quantity, the variety of the main dishes tends to remain consistent.
Savory: The cold cuts and cheeses are excellent (even though I'm vegetarian), along with yogurt and fruit salad, savory pies, frittatas, and fried vegetables, but there's only one savory pie. The lack of "hot" dishes (like the legendary baked beans, hash browns, or eggs Benedict, scrambled in a pan) makes the experience repetitive if you go back several times.
Sweet: The cakes, mini tiramisu, and cheesecakes are good, but the classic pancakes, muffins, waffles, and croissants, which are the true heart of a brunch that aims to take things to the next level, are missing.
The drinks—filtered coffee and juice—are complex, but no milk, whether plant-based or otherwise? That's a flaw.
The suggestion for improvement is clear: Adding 2-3 signature dishes cooked to order (even for a small surcharge) would enrich the offering and dispel the impression of limited variety.
Brunch Verdict: 3/5. The location deserves a 5+, but with a few small adjustments, it could become the best brunch in the Varese area.

What can I say? In one word: exceptional!!! A bright atmosphere with a large window and a view of the lake. The brunch idea is excellent, with excellent, high-quality products, both savory and sweet. The staff is very professional with a touch of friendliness that makes you feel at home. The prices are average and commensurate with the service received. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, without hesitation.
