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!!

The place is cute and the staff very friendly. We stopped for dinner and personally, I didn't find the food exceptional, but we "only" ordered two polenta concie and the menu is very varied, so my opinion is limited. What I didn't appreciate was the quality/price ratio; especially the €9 for a glass of Vespolina seemed really steep.

We ate here several times during our vacation. There's an excellent selection of dishes and truly excellent wines, a fantastic selection, and even a special aperitif. The chef and his team are always attentive and do a great job. The house specials are also delicious and welcome. The ambiance, right on the plaza but still a bit quiet and off the beaten track, is very nice. It's a good spot to watch the sometimes unpleasant hustle and bustle of tourists being carted through town. The interior of the restaurant is also quaint and interesting. Highly recommended.

Gelateria deliciosa! Muito melhor do que marcas famosas de Milano. Experimente o limão com manjericão, amarena e chesse cake. Lavanda também era bem diferente.
