Ristorante del Barcaiolo In Arona

Good location, overlooking the lake, on a fairly quiet street. Interesting appetizers are served outside (at tables in the square) along with generous platters of tapas. Dinner is available inside and under the loggia. Our experience with the food was disappointing: tasteless seafood appetizers, poorly cooked or low-quality fish (frozen and second-rate octopus, cuttlefish, and shrimp). The seasonings and flavors were dull, a shame. First courses: the seafood cuisine confirms its low quality... pasta with clams full of the grit typical of poorly prepared clams. The mussel soup was bland, and the mussels were not cleaned properly. The meat second course, seasoned with porcini mushrooms, was good. The menu is varied (but everything we tried was disappointing). The mandarin sorbet with Grandmarnier, recommended by the very kind waiter, was excellent. Quick service. It's a real shame considering the quality of the food. 3/5 stars overall, but the dishes are 2/5.

Restaurant and aperitif. Nice lakefront location in the center of Arona. Prices are average, and service is excellent, with many talented and attentive young people. A full 8, recommended.

My favorite restaurant in Arona, you can't go wrong with both fish and meat, or for an aperitif in the square.

We had delicious aperitifs and a great selection of snacks at a great price. Afterwards, we had a good meal for dinner.

The aperitif was highly recommended!!! Excellent value for money.

After a small initial communication problem, we drank very well under the cool arches (try the Rosé Brut Sebastian Ca Maiol!) and then had an excellent lunch.

I think they're making a living from location. I hope the dryness was because it was Sunday, and a little late. Tiramisu wasn't homemade. There are better places in Arona.

A very nice restaurant located on a charming square with a superb view of the lake. Cocktails and drinks are reasonably priced. And in the evening, a delicious drinks platter for only €2.00 per person. Dinner was good. I had lasagna and a hamburger, which were delicious. For a truly Dutch, very reasonable price.

Great aperitif bar, food is a bit expensive but also good.

We ate here on a Saturday for lunch. The first courses were truly delicious, worthy of the "scarpetta" (breadcrumb) and the place was lovely with a lake view. It's a shame the staff was apathetic and unsmiling (except for the lady who takes orders and works at the register, who was kind and smiling).
