Locanda a Sud In Ghiffa

Officially my favorite restaurant in Verbania ♥ My partner and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here. We ate typical local dishes, with homemade pasta and desserts (even the ladyfingers for tiramisu!). On the menu, I found the Walser pasta that my grandmother used to make; it made me so happy! With every bite of each dish, I wanted more. The location is stunning; it feels like eating in a castle, and in summer, enjoying the lake view must be magnificent! The welcome is impeccable, and the owners are wonderful! Locanda a Sud is a rare and special place, a guarantee!

It was an idyllic experience, both for the exceptional food and the setting, which is decorated with period furniture. The dishes I ordered were truly unique, but the zabaglione cream dessert was out of this world. In the summer, you can eat outside on a terraced garden with a magnificent view. I will definitely be back, as it was one of the most beautiful culinary experiences I've ever had.

A very clever combination of excellent local cheeses. And all without any fuss. Highly recommended for vegetarian gourmets.

We've been there twice already, and I loved everything. Especially the service.

An inn with a modern twist on old-world style... understated, elegant, and absolutely welcoming! The welcome is unique, with a family-like yet highly professional tone! The open-plan kitchen is so clean it doesn't even seem like there's a glass partition separating the rooms! The menu is somewhat representative of what's described... EXCELLENT is the adjective. The location is breathtaking, and I won't add anything else. 100% recommended.

Amazing place, perfect service, really excellent food, super friendly owners, highly recommended

What a beautiful restaurant! A very elegant atmosphere inside and a lovely terrace with a magnificent view of Lake Maggiore. The food is exceptionally good and refined. Andrea, the owner, is an exceptionally kind host. A top recommendation!

PLEASE NOTE: the people who used to run this place back when this review was published, have since relocated to Parallelo 41 in the hills behind Verbania in Vignone. Locanda a Sud is now run by someone else. Amazing seafood, always fresh and prepared in a way that preserves its original flavours. Love the family style hospitality and simple but tasteful interior.
