L'Oasi Del Borgo In Cannobio

01/02/2025: Along with slightly salty polenta and sausage, the risotto creamed with walnuts was really good. Warm environment and Christmas atmosphere! Inside there is also a small "shop" with objects of all kinds to give as gifts during these holidays! Excellent choice

08/12/2024: Nice and intimate place, new, clean, in the center of the village. Staff a little cold but efficient even if the cutlery was never changed, placemat and paper napkin, food, apart from the truly spectacular vitello tonnato, almost all tasteless. The menu was the fixed one from the markets and seemed promising. The tuna of rabbit was tasteless, watery. The risotto alla toma, despite the two teaspoons of parmesan added at our request, was al dente but absolutely bland in appearance and taste. I saw almost complete dishes coming back from another table. We ate it because we were hungry like we eat plain rice at home but it wasn't a restaurant dish. The second course was lightly salted meat, the polenta seemed pre-cooked and was cold, the broccoli gratin was ugly to look at but at least it was tasty. The desserts... the panna cotta, of the right consistency but not sweet. The morsel of pandoro (fried?) which no longer tasted like pandoro, completely distorted, to be dipped into a single bowl of slightly too frothy eggnog. I'm really sorry to write such a negative review but we all agreed at the table on the lack of dishes. Bad day? Maybe. However... the portions are right, the bread at the table is scarce but it is to avoid waste and if necessary you can request it, the price would also have been correct. Good coffee. It's really a shame about the cuisine which didn't satisfy us.
