Pizzeria Ristorante A' Marechiaro In Novara

I recommend it, the octopus is delicious, and the pizza is amazing. And the service is first-class ❤️

The best pizza with gorgonzola and the best tuna steak, I really recommend it

I recommend fried octopus with potatoes and swordfish steak, and for dessert panna cotta.

The pizza dough was well-cooked and well-risen. The toppings left a bit to be desired... a seafood pizza (see photo) shouldn't be so light, but it should have plenty of that topping (or other toppings, depending on your preference). The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was refined, but the outdoor seating was quite noisy, considering it's in one of Novara's busiest squares.

The pizza is good, especially the "tagliere" version. Better to book.

I'll be honest, only the bread and the service were good...

The place is very nice and the pizza is delicious...but waiting more than 50 minutes for it is not good.

The longest-running pizzeria in Novara and the surrounding area. They've always respected Campanian traditions while embracing innovation. Generous and well-prepared fish and meat main courses. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Homemade desserts.

I'm updating my review: Since I was downtown for some appointments, I opted for a lunch break at the landmark restaurant in Piazza Cesare Battisti. From the daily specials, I chose pennette with ragù and parmesan shavings: the pasta was cooked al dente, with a flavorful tomato sauce and a generous portion. Followed by a classic dessert: chocolate panna cotta, served in a tempting way, with a dollop of whipped cream and powdered sugar on a large, modern plate. The service, with a manageable turnout, was more than adequate for the lunchtime hour, as was the bill. The staff is friendly and attentive, the outdoor seating is spacious, and the restaurant is well-maintained. Overall, it remains a practical and reliable option. ——————————————————— Historic restaurant in the heart of the city, established for three generations. Meticulously presented dishes, dynamic and friendly staff. Four rooms on two levels with the ever-present outdoor seating—plus a special room with a round table—are the ideal venue for a business or family lunch, as well as for gatherings with friends, groups, and special occasions. Daily menu, à la carte menu, and special menus. Candlelight dinner available on Thursday evenings.

I would have given it 5 stars without a doubt. The food was truly delicious: The fried gnocco with exceptional gorgonzola fondue, the vegetables with melted gorgonzola cheese on top were also excellent. The pumpkin tortelli? Top. And the Chili Novarese (as pictured)—stewed beans, Fedriga ragù, lard, and spicy gorgonzola— an explosion of strong flavors, unusual for my palate, but precisely for this reason, much appreciated. The house wine, a good Barbera, also paired beautifully with the meal. So why 4 stars and not 5? Just one piece of advice: improve the bathroom hygiene!
