Trattoria Imbarcadero In Stresa

Good restaurant, well located with very friendly staff.

A very warm welcome, only fresh, local produce on the plate. And a complimentary digestif was offered. Thank you!

The service is excellent and the fish so fresh and nice!

Excellent meal, with a beautiful view. Very pleasant staff.

What we ordered: Tortelloni with lake fish, Garganelli with lake fish and tomato sauce, Fried calamari and vegetables, Lake bream lavarello fillet fried in butter. Places like this are easily classified as tourist traps. This restaurant belies that. Garganelli: good, though not outstanding; the tomatoes somewhat overpowered the fish's flavor. The tortelloni are a poetry of flavors – fishy, ​​freshwater. Wonderfully delicate dough tinged a light orange (carrot?). The filling is heavenly light. The sauce: fishy, ​​yet distinctive. It's worth returning for this taste experience. The fried calamari with vegetables was very well done, in fresh fat, not dripping with it, a generous portion. The lavarello – excellent, fried to perfection in butter. I haven't had freshwater fish this good in a long time. Really good espresso. Excelent wine. Kudos to the exceptionally efficient and, what's more, nice, smiling staff during this customer processing, I don't know how you manage it.

Imbarcadero Restaurant, what can I say!!! (We were there yesterday for my birthday) Simply highly recommended. We ate on the terrace directly on the lake. Very attentive service despite the large crowd. The waiters were very professional and attentive to everything. Lots of choice on the menu. Quality food and generous portions. At the end of the meal, they were offered limoncello. And as a final thought, a word of praise to the owner, Mrs. Carmen, for her kindness and courtesy with the customers. Well done, well done, thank you very much.

Delicious food, we had the XL shrimp and fish & chips. This place has received good reviews – it's well-deserved. The staff tries to manage the crowds. It's a good idea to make reservations in advance or for a specific time. I'm a bit confused by the ordering system – one person takes the order, the second and third bring the drinks and food, while also keeping copies of the order on the customer's table. This system is a bit chaotic – that's my impression. A place worth visiting.

The food was good and the portions were adequate for the price, the staff were friendly and helpful even though the place was full.

We had the pleasure of dining at Trattoria Imbarcadero on Isola dei Pescatori, and it was truly unforgettable. This is a beautiful family-run place, created and run by twin sisters, their grandmother, and even the grandchildren — and you can feel it in every single moment. From start to finish, it’s heart, heart, and once again heart. The warmth, the care, the genuine kindness in the service, the attention to every detail, and the lovely atmosphere make you feel completely at home. And the food… absolutely incredible. We never expected to eat this well in such a touristy place. Every dish was full of flavor, fresh, and clearly made with love. Places like this deserve all the support. If you’re visiting Isola dei Pescatori, don’t miss it — and please support family businesses like this one. They truly make a difference.

Beautiful place. Very friendly family staff. Highly recommended.
