Scopri il migliore ristorante di cucina italiananella città Pino sulla sponda del lago maggiore della Varese

13/08/2026: We stopped for an aperitif last week. The place is very pretty; there was a bar mentioned near the garden, but it wasn't open... a bit surprising for peak season! So we went to the restaurant and asked if it was possible to have an aperitif. The waiter said yes, and we were seated without much enthusiasm. We asked for a menu, and he told us there wasn't one. We didn't feel welcome; we should have left then, but we didn't. So we ordered three glasses of white wine and two drinks for the children. The wine served wasn't even local; it was French wine, and we were only served 0.5 dl! At €8 a glass, that's outrageous! In any case, it didn't make us want to stay for dinner, and we left quickly! In short, an overrated place where the service is poor! A shame because the setting is very beautiful.

11/08/2026: I give it 5 stars because it deserves every single one, starting with the lakeside location, which is as stunning as the view from the terrace. We tried several dishes on the menu and they were all excellent; no one had any complaints. The service wasn't immediately impeccable, but Jonathan saved the day with his friendliness and helpfulness. If I may offer a piece of advice, I'd say that a smile on your face is worth a lot.
