Verbanella In Stresa

30/09/2025: Very good food, fast service, and reasonable prices. Always full, make a reservation in advance. I'd happily go back. I can't say anything about the rooms.

22/09/2025: I found the wait for my food to be normal for what one might expect on a Sunday lunch in a tourist destination. I had no complaints about the service at our table, but seeing how others were served, I noticed general disorganization and confusion (the lady at the table behind us didn't even get a dish served at all). I'm sorry to say that, unfortunately, I ate one of the worst gluten-free pizzas I've ever tasted: the dough was poorly rolled out (my mother's had a hole on one side), and it was raw inside and charred around the edge. It was definitely tasty, and I enjoyed eating it, albeit with a vague feeling of unease. My father and I ordered the same pizza, except that his dough was regular and mine was gluten-free. When she arrived at our table, the waitress had no idea which one she was serving to whom, so she called the kitchen to find out. It wasn't a major problem, as I'm the only one with a gluten intolerance, but having had experience with celiacs in my family, I know the risks of cross-contamination. This isn't meant to be a strictly negative review: the staff is friendly and kind, and the location is excellent.
