When you arrive for lunch in the most beautiful square in the province, you think you're just another number, but instead you discover a perfect welcome from Tiziana, with an extraordinary smile, great professionalism, and so much passion. Everywhere you look, there's order, everything perfectly organized. Every time a diner leaves the table, she disinfects it, polishes it, and makes it smell as good as the bread she serves you. The polenta concia con la toma, served in an aluminum pan, is unrivaled. Excellent labels, a cheese and cured meat counter, textbook. The location is very pleasant inside, and extraordinary outside. The bill is in line with the setting, but it's definitely worth a visit.

We arrived a little late for lunch and asked if there was room. The waitress told us we could get in line: the place was full, and a couple was already waiting ahead of us. After about ten minutes, they seated us, and as soon as we were seated, they informed us that the kitchen had just closed and they could only serve us platters.
We accepted, more out of hunger than anything else, even though we had come specifically to try the polenta of the day. The platters were generous and made with quality ingredients, but the price (€77 for two with a water) seemed a bit high.
Overall, a decent experience, but it would have been more appropriate to let us know right away that the kitchen was already closed.

Located in Orta's main square, it has a large deli counter stocked with cured meats, cheeses, and much more. The dishes are generous and well-crafted, unique but delicious, and also offer excellent value for money, especially considering the location. Inside, the dining room is quite small, but welcoming and stylish. Their outdoor ice cream parlor, also in the square, is also very good.

The appetizer platter was very tasty, I would definitely come back for it. Unfortunately, there was a long black hair in the mackerel sandwich, but this was quickly resolved.

In three days here on Lake Orta, we've been there twice. The place is perfect for me. Attention to detail, beautiful. Fast and professional service. Fabulous food. We ate both outside and inside. And let's not forget the wine, great bottles.
Highly recommended!!
