Osteria La Lanterna In Valsolda

06/01/2025: We were in Molina for three days shortly after New Year's Eve. There we were recommended the Tipi Tipici, where we ate for three evenings. Given the quality of the food, we had no desire to eat elsewhere but tried half the menu. From the pasta dishes to the fish and meat dishes to the pizzas, we really enjoyed everything. I particularly liked the ravioli with asparagus, bacon and saffron sauce. The game dishes were also fantastic. The whole thing was served to us by two very nice waitresses, service was also fantastic! Thanks again for that! Last but not least, we found the prices more than reasonable. We also found it very nice that our dogs were also welcome. If we come close again, we will stop there again. The prices below refer to drinks, first and second courses.

27/12/2024: A family-run restaurant tucked away between Torno and Bellagio. The two storey features a buzzing bar on the ground floor and a cosy restaurant on the second. The frittoi misto well seasoned and just about right though the batter was a little thick for me; both pastas were the stars of the show. Minced wild boar ragu papardelle was spot on and simple pomodoro beef fettuccine also deserves high praise - it was out of menu and had to be improvised. I should also mention the wine list which was very well stocked and varied. Price point reflects this being a local rather than tourist joint. Bravo !
