I migliori ristoranti di cucina altre cucine d'europa in Novara

26/10/2025: We decided to try it for lunch, and if I could, I wouldn't even give it a star! For my son, we ordered the Boca risotto, which must have gotten lost somewhere because it was little more than plain rice served on a cold plate and arrived barely warm at the table. My husband ordered the braised beef agnolotti, and those also arrived cold. We asked for them to be returned, and they came back barely warm in the center, while the others were cold. Another time, the plate was cold. The quality of the same dishes was terrible! The ones at Esselunga are definitely superior. Absolutely not recommended, of course. I should point out that when I went to the cashier to pay (obviously, we didn't eat anything else), they didn't even apologize for what happened. A terrible experience.

23/10/2025: Everything perfect and of excellent quality

02/11/2025: I was deeply disappointed by the owner's behavior. While I was still eating at the table, she approached me to scold me, claiming that the waitress (whom she described as "my daughter, by the way") had taken offense at the way I addressed her. The owner, without first asking my side of the story, accused me in a forceful tone, stating that "you don't address a little girl that way." I tried to explain that I had simply asked for breadsticks, finding the bread excessively salty, to the point of irritating my teeth. The waitress's daughter responded: "No one here has complained so far!" When I asked her to check the saltiness, she replied that she has a bread intolerance, and as she left, she began to speak to the staff. The owner denied my observation, tore off a piece of my leftover bread, tasted it, and claimed I was mistaken, still having the basket replaced (as the waitress could have done, without arguing). All this happened after the waitress's daughter had been staring at me from a distance for some time, repeatedly approaching the table, prompting me to ask if she had something to say. She responded to my question with an ironic "Nah, nothing," turning her back on me. Previously, one of the two steaks ordered—requested well-done—had been served medium, as confirmed by the same waiter, who promptly took it back to the kitchen. It then returned to the table completely overcooked. Despite this, we didn't want to complain further. However, for two €25 dishes and treatment that made a dinner I'd been looking forward to for months, on the occasion of my mother's return to Italy, unpleasant, we feel compelled to leave this review. We noticed that 90% of the guests were eating pinsa, not meat. Our advice is to learn to accept criticism and consider serious hotel training on how to handle guests in the event of unexpected events, as well as anxiety management and customer service courses. What happened on Saturday night was unacceptable, and even more disappointing was not even receiving an apology.

18/10/2025: Very spacious. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I don't know if I was unlucky, but I don't recommend the salads. The accompanying focaccia was very good, the fish, though small, wasn't bad, but the salad was overcooked and even black in some places... too bad.

18/09/2025: It smells like a bar with a kitchen, not a restaurant (there are plenty of them in Arona). Okay... let's talk about it: I can't say the food is bad, on the contrary, but the portions are very small and at the same time very expensive. I really find it all very exaggerated! The waiters/waitresses are a bit so... not very empathetic. I'm sorry, but I won't go in there again! p.s. The bathroom is very dirty!

07/09/2025: The place is charming, definitely not your average tourist restaurant. The food is delicious!

07/10/2025: The atmosphere was very noisy and not very clean, especially the restrooms. The service was extremely slow, and sometimes, despite the slowness, they even got the order wrong. My wife, my brother-in-law, my wife's sister, and I waited over an hour one Saturday night for two pizzas (not good) and two grilled meats (not good). The beer was awful, either bitter or overly flavored. Never again! Disgusting place!

06/08/2025: Was closed during vacations when holidays are in very sad

12/10/2025: 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.

05/10/2025: Reservation for an aperitif at 6:00 PM 6:45 PM I stopped the waitress (the girl with the mole near her eye) and said, "Excuse me," and very rudely, without even stopping, "My colleague will come over." She replied rudely and very rudely, in a loud and annoyed tone. 7:10 PM We made a reservation (including a black mojito) 7:30 PM They brought the wrong drink (classic mojito) The waitress's response was, "We put dark rum in." (The black mojito has licorice in it) "But we don't have licorice." (Sorry, but tell me first.) 7:45 ​​PM = We're still waiting for an aperitif after almost 2 hours of waiting, the cocktails now full of melted ice. Terrible service, but above all, rudeness from the staff. Waiters completely pissed off. The place is sparsely crowded and not even a bit of music under the porch.

06/09/2025: Clean and comfortable rooms, kind and very helpful owners, good food.

29/08/2025: Our stay was hell! The room and beds were infested with bed bugs, and the owners seemed unaware of the problem, as there was a sign in the room advising guests to avoid contact with their luggage to prevent the spread of the pests. When we reported the problem, after initial resistance, they admitted that the property had long had a problem with these insects, which they were unable to eradicate.

01/11/2025: Great location, prices a little above average, but good food

29/10/2025: We ordered two simple pizzas with quality ingredients. We weren't disappointed, and the price was reasonable. The wine was good and cost us less than half the price of another restaurant.
