Ristorante Hotel Villa Crespi In Orta san giulio

I chose the dinner experience at Villa Crespi as a birthday gift for my wife, and we were thrilled. The Mettici l'Anima menu was exceptional, introducing us to new flavors and pairing perfectly with the sommelier's wine tasting. The staff was incredibly kind and pampered us throughout the evening. Along with the dinner, I also wanted to gift an overnight stay at the villa, which turned out to be extremely pleasant, with countless treatments and attentions. The body ritual in the wellness area was a wonderful addition, especially for the olfactory pairing of the essences with the massage. The staff is very attentive and available to accommodate every need. Overall, an experience definitely worth repeating!

I tried the restaurant, and it was a wonderful experience: the quality was top-notch, and the dishes were pure magic. The highly qualified staff pampers you with warmth and a deep knowledge of the dishes and wines. I've tried many Michelin-starred restaurants (one to three stars) around the world (both in the US and Europe). This is absolutely the best I've had so far.

My partner and I had lunch at Villa Crespi to celebrate our tenth anniversary, and it was a fantastic and unforgettable experience, something we "ordinary" people should do at least once in a lifetime. Impeccable service, a fantastic location, and top-notch cuisine. Chef Cannavacciuolo proved to be a very pleasant and hospitable person. Absolutely a pass!

A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Mediterranean flavors brought to the fore. The only downside: we chose the tasting menu and a wine menu. However, the waiter asked us several times, using the phrase "we can offer you" for the welcome aperitif (which later turned out to be paid for on top), a few glasses of wine, and some cheeses. To be fair, they should have specified that these were off-menu and would not be offered. I recommend using the phrase "I can offer you..." instead. In the end, we spent €400 more than we had budgeted. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. Mediterranean flavors brought to the fore. The only downside: we chose the tasting menu and a wine menu.

I had lunch at the restaurant, without staying overnight. Everything was excellent, the staff was courteous, and the service lived up to the name.

Fantastic tasting menu lunch. The location is incredible, with a breathtaking view. The "Mettici l'anima" menu exceeded our expectations. And to round out the day, we took a stroll along the lake.

Everything was wonderful, from the welcome to the dinner. The room was beautiful and the breakfast was excellent. A treat from start to finish.

Wonderful, evocative, exciting!! Everything perfect!

A wonderful food experience but above all the quality of the products thanks to the very competent and well-prepared service on everything

I dined and stayed at Villa Crespi for a special event and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The unique, historic location is truly evocative, and the rooms have been beautifully renovated while maintaining the period style. As for the cuisine, as with other Michelin-starred restaurants I've had the pleasure of dining at, I found some dishes incredibly delicious and balanced, despite the unconventional pairings. Others, however, were less impressive, and I may not have fully understood them. Overall, I can only give them 5 stars. There were a couple of service errors, but the staff handled them well after I pointed them out and corrected them appropriately.
