Ristorante Camelia In Cannobio

Maybe we're a bit too particular about our tastes. Let's start with the battered vegetables... the flavor wasn't bad, but they seemed to have been microwaved, given the soft, warm texture on the outside and the piping hot inside. I repeat, the flavor was just right. A little venison salami as another appetizer, and yes, everything fits, very good! Let's move on to the pizzas: Margherita: I could only taste the sauce; we weren't particularly thrilled with it. I had the one with the game sauce; it has three very interesting options, and I wanted to try one (1, wild boar mortadella, 2 venison salami, 3 I don't remember, but it's like bresaola, and that's the one I had). This pizza looks good, probably apart from the sauce; the rest of the ingredients aren't exactly top-quality, but still, decent quality! The pecorino cheese really overpowered the other flavors, and the arugula didn't seem particularly fresh. Anyway, I ate it all :) There were other pizzerias where I didn't like it at all, but I'd have left it without a problem! Two Cokes Zero and two coffees. All for €48. It's not cheap, but not that excessive either! I usually give a pizza like this two stars or even one, but it deserves three stars for one very important factor: the dough! I left the table without feeling bloated, and I didn't feel sick. It means the dough takes at least 24 hours to make it through, probably even a little longer! The yeast and salt were well balanced, very good! So, I'm giving it a bonus! Let me start by saying that we went on a Tuesday, so it might not be the ideal day. So, since it's a matter of taste, I probably won't go back, but you guys, do it when you're out and about, because I recommend trying it anyway. Now, I'm giving the environment one star for our experience. While waiting to order coffee, two tables back we ordered the meat on the slab. Even as it arrived, you could smell something burning. Then the customer added a touch of class (not exactly smart) by pouring oil over it, not just the meat but also the slab, developing a strong pungent odor that drove my girlfriend and I to run off to get our coffee at the counter. Besides us, two other tables also had the same problem, coughing from the strong smoke and odor. So, again, give it a try because maybe it was just our bad night, and since I'm practically certain I won't be back, my assessment of that evening is exactly what I concluded and described.

I'm not giving them a star only because I want to encourage them to improve. It's definitely not a place for those who love elegance and good food. We had two pizzas, but they were rubbery and tasteless. What I would point out is that when we asked for a side of vegetables, the waitress recommended battered zucchini flowers. When they arrived, they were rubbery, microwaved (warm on the outside, glowing on the inside), and looked like they were from the day before. In fact, the arugula they were sitting on was limp. I think they wanted to pass them off to someone so they wouldn't be thrown away. At a certain point, someone at the table over ordered meat on a stone, but it was so smoky inside that we left immediately. The chairs were uncomfortable and the tables were too close to each other. We definitely won't be back, sorry.

A menu that I would like to recommend for those who love mussels and delicious, a bit spicy sauces. It's "cozze dalla chef" you won't disappoint!

Very nice people! And the pizza was amazing.

Pizzeria Camelia may look unassuming from the outside, but it offers unbeatable value for money. The pizza was truly excellent, and the service was very friendly. I'd be happy to go back.

Great pizza! Very good dessert and very friendly service. Very, very fair prices.

Highly recommended. Affordable and delicious, authentic Italian. The pizzas were very good. Very friendly staff, would definitely go back. Ayurveda

Very nice atmosphere in the outdoor area in the evening, friendly and quick staff, very tasty pizzas and all for a very fair price.

We had delicious pizzas and a great red wine. The service was friendly, and the food arrived quickly.

Excellent, organized service. Pizza was good (Contadina). Prices are as good as how much they are in your own country obviously.
