09/06/2026: The best pizzeria on Lake Maggiore. Delicious and well-made pizzas, excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and reasonable prices.

22/05/2026: Found this place by chance on Google Maps. We decided to celebrate my brother's graduation in this charming place—an excellent choice! Very cute place, and Valeriana welcomed us warmly. Very good food and great prices. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

25/04/2026: This restaurant is definitely worth recommending! Delicious food! The staff is incredibly friendly! The staff goes above and beyond! Five stars isn't enough! It should be at least 10! You absolutely must try the tiramisu!

29/06/2026: A plate of raw fish, then the tiramisu was out of this world, top notch!!! Very kind staff ✨

28/06/2026: Excellent seafood restaurant. Excellent service.

09/04/2026: We were passing through this area on our holiday and we are so happy that we found this restaurant. Food was excellent and so was the service and ambiance too. We ordered a starter and I don’t eat meat, so they offered a vegetarian option, and it was delicious. The main course was also excellent and the dessert was cherry on top,fresh yoghurt with berries, so good and fresh. Our waiter Omar was great and really friendly. He kindly gave us many tips on what to do and see in the area. We recommend this family owned restaurant wholeheartedly. Great dining experience.

30/03/2026: I went to Osteria della Purtascia with my friends on Sunday for lunch. If you're looking for a place where you can feel at home, but with high-quality cuisine, this is the place. The restaurant is beautiful and very well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. It's the perfect setting for a lunch/dinner with friends, where you can chat and enjoy yourself. The hospitality was the added bonus. All the staff is extremely kind, but a special mention goes to the waitress, Luana, who was truly exquisite. We really appreciated the way the owner explains the products on the menu: he does it with such a fascinating passion that it makes you want to try everything! ​The food is truly delicious. Here are some dishes we tried: Appetizer: The egg with truffle was simply delicious, balanced, and fragrant. ​First course: We chose a special of the day, paccheri with sausage, porcini mushrooms, saffron, and a sprinkling of red berries. A refined, original, and decidedly tasty dish. ​Wine: The house wine also proved to be an excellent choice, perfect for accompanying dinner. ​In summary: An excellent experience in every way. We'll definitely be back!

03/06/2026: Good food, attentive and friendly service.

30/05/2026: An absolute hidden gem: after hours of searching for a good restaurant, with an array of dishes beyond pizza, we found this place and am very glad we did! From the second you walk in the whole experience is wonderful. The servers are very hospitable and friendly, the setting is so calm, the menu is absolutely irresistible, and the atmosphere was wonderful, all for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!

10/06/2026: We stumbled upon it by chance, but it's a truly great place for lunch... I wanted to try all the sandwiches (except the overly commercial ones). They seem like high-quality burgers. I recommend trying it at least once.

01/06/2026: Quality food served well, prices reasonable. The place is a bit commercial, and the music is loud. But the food is good. The staff is impersonal, courteous, and helpful.

06/06/2026: Warm welcome and delicious menu! We ordered the special Saturday menu for €25. Today's offer was excellent, as pictured!

30/05/2026: I visited this place as a Hungarian tourist and can only recommend it. The service is friendly and the flavors are truly delicious. We've traveled extensively throughout Italy, but this place will definitely become one of our favorites. We'll definitely be back every time we're in the area. Congratulations to the restaurant! 😊🇮🇹❤️ I visited this place as a Hungarian tourist, and I highly recommend it. Great service and truly delicious flavors. We've been to many places all over Italy, but this spot is definitely going to be one of our favorites. We will absolutely come back whenever we're in the area. Congratulations to the restaurant! 😊🇮🇹❤️

11/05/2026: If you're looking for divinely cooked game, you've come to the right place. A welcoming and well-maintained restaurant with a family atmosphere, the professional staff welcomes you with kindness and a smile. The set menus are seasonal and change frequently, ensuring a unique dining experience. The quality-price ratio is excellent. Don't miss it.

11/05/2026: Excellent food and refined, all-female staff, all very friendly and fast. I highly recommend

26/04/2026: 5 stars for rudeness, arrogance, and bad manners... We arrived with my little girl at 11:50 on Sunday, hoping to see some animals, having been intrigued by the incoming reviews (good morning). The gentleman who was moving kitchen equipment disappeared, and we stood in front of the ice cream counter waiting with no response. Tables were set outside, and then a lady came in, annoyed by the fact that she found us inside... I asked if they had room for me and my little girl, and the response was: No, lunch starts at 12:30 and we're fully booked... I asked if we could have later, and she didn't let me finish the sentence, telling me there was no room (what is it that I don't understand)... We had ice cream served by a very young, rather embarrassed girl. After getting our ice cream, I turned back to the lady, who seemed clearly annoyed by our presence, and asked: When is the best time to book to come to you? The response was: We're fully booked!!! Me: But when is the best time to call??? The gentleman (who knows who he is) returns and abruptly throws the phrase at me: SEPTEMBER!!!! ... I'm happy that there are people who dedicate themselves to this hard work in the restaurant business, but definitely not in this place.... Looking at the deli and cheese counter, they aren't of the highest quality; the cured meats were greenish in color and a bit too dried out... even the cheeses weren't the best colors... I'm allowing myself to make these observations, being a chef and gastronome with 20 years of experience... The reviews are definitely from relatives or friends... fake!!!

25/04/2026: Ice cream of unparalleled goodness

05/05/2026: Spectacular seafood restaurant, but you can also find meat. Highly recommended. It's a shame about the town it's in; it's not the best in terms of scenery or for an after-dinner stroll. But the restaurant is top-notch, and I give it 5 stars for everything. Highly recommended. Good!

01/05/2026: Really satisfied with both the service and the food, the owner is truly exquisite, but I have a doubt, why not one star yet?

10/05/2026: The location is very beautiful: on the riverbank and by the pool. Excellent food. The menu features mostly seafood dishes. Fast service.

09/05/2026: A really nice place. I recommend it.

28/04/2026: Everything was impeccable. Exquisite dishes, perfect service. Delightful place

25/04/2026: For dinners to remember: a welcoming place, knowledgeable and friendly staff, traditional and innovative food, everything super well-prepared and delicious!

03/06/2026: The place is clean and welcoming, the food is very good, with minimal portions and prices that I think are a bit excessive. The pizza is disappointing; it arrived burnt and dry. The prices are overpriced, and for the context of the place, the pizza served burnt and dry is not the best. The pizza chef needs to make sure he's doing what he's doing before serving. The service is slow and doesn't bother clearing your plates when you finish. The guy serves a bottle next to our table and doesn't clear our plates. We'd finished about 15 minutes ago, but no one came by to clear our plates. A woman serves pizzas at the table but doesn't deign to turn around and clear your plates. Zero attention and lack of professionalism towards the customer. We definitely won't be returning. Two appetizers, two pizzas, a bottle of water, two glasses of white wine, and two desserts, €98 for two. In other places, I spend that much on starters, main courses, water, a bottle of wine, and dessert, and above all, the service is fast. I saw other reviews where prices were written 20/30 euros, but in this place you don't spend that much money, you spend much more.

23/05/2026: Good food, well-kept and clean place, fast service and trained staff.

18/05/2026: Sublime dishes! We tried both the risotto and the gnocchi, both delicious! Our favorites were the gnocchi with pears, Taleggio cheese, and speck. Highly recommended. Fast service, friendly waiters, and a lovely atmosphere. I recommend this to anyone who loves risotto. This is definitely a great place to eat it. Generous and satisfying portions. You can also order a trio or two of risotto or gnocchi. We didn't order it, but the platter, which we noticed at other tables, looked equally tempting. Affordable prices, definitely excellent value for money!

17/05/2026: Our visit to the Gnoccheria was a real highlight. The food was absolutely first-class – prepared with great care and incredibly delicious. The gnocchi, in particular, were a delight and showcased authentic Italian cuisine at its finest. The service also deserves high praise: very friendly and attentive staff and a warm atmosphere from the very first moment. The beautiful ambiance in the vaulted cellar made the evening even more special and ensured an authentic and cozy experience. We were also surprised by how fair the prices were: for five people, we paid only about €170 in total, including wine and some appetizers.

23/05/2026: Nice place, good food but without any push, prices a little high

23/05/2026: We've been to Tarlisu several times, and every time has been excellent. From traditional food to reinterpretations of classic recipes, everything feels like a treat. Excellent wine list and excellent value. Highly recommended.
