I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Novara

22/06/2026: This was a fantastic restaurant. It was not too expensive, and the pasta was homemade. Great little restaurant

13/06/2026: The place is very welcoming, as are the staff, who even without a reservation, immediately escorted me to my table. As for the food, the products were high-quality. We chose various dishes, both meat and fish, and all were excellent, with unusual pairings. Everything was accompanied by a good wine, selected by them, and the result was a top-notch dinner. I recommend this place to everyone, much better than other restaurants I've tried on the lakeside.

04/06/2026: Exceptional, wonderful atmosphere. Interesting and varied menu. Extremely attentive waiters. Anyone looking for something special off the beaten culinary path should definitely dine here.

25/05/2026: Very good lasagna, but the quantity is limited. Excellent quality, but limited choice.

17/07/2026: Sindy and I planned our wedding here. What can I say? It was a fairytale wedding!!! From Nicola to Barbara, not to mention Sabrina, Francesco, and the rest of the staff, they were incredibly accommodating to all our requests (from customizing the menu to welcoming our pets!). The food was simply incredible. All our guests were delighted and told us they will consider the venue for their private events. A heartfelt thank you for making our special day unforgettable. 🙏🏻 If there were 10 stars, we'd give them that!

13/07/2026: Discovered thanks to a wedding party, the food is very good, very nice place, very kind and always available staff and manager, very beautiful location

12/08/2026: I found it by chance and it was definitely a pleasant surprise! Amazing food with incredible and unusual flavors. Definitely worth a try!

04/08/2026: Family lunch to celebrate an event. At the owner's suggestion, we didn't agree on a menu but each chose from the menu (since there were only 13 of us, he said he could handle the various requests). Perfect advice and excellent choice! We always ate together and each ordered what they liked best. Carefully prepared dishes, made with quality ingredients. A wide selection of wines, more than fair value. Highly recommend.

21/05/2026: A divine place. We had a wonderful day for my nephew's first communion. Super, congratulations to everyone.

10/05/2026: Beautiful park, they organized a wedding there, very clean and organized down to the smallest detail, there's a fenced lake that's safe for children too! I recommend it 🌟🌟🌟

31/05/2026: Spent a week there. Can't fault it. Had a great time.

29/05/2026: Last night we had dinner at the Giardinetto restaurant in Pettenasco. It was offered by my dear nephews. The location was magnificent, the staff were very kind and knowledgeable. We chose the exceptional lake menu. It was a magnificent evening.

06/03/2026: Friendly service, delicious pizza with exceptionally good dough, and a lovely ambiance in the glass-enclosed conservatory; the location right on the street is still pleasant and easily accessible. The seafood pasta was tasty, but rather average compared to the pizza. The prices are fair, and the overall value is good. Just barely five stars and a great choice for a relaxed pizza experience on Lake Maggiore.

04/02/2026: We had the pleasure of dining here on a Saturday evening during a weekend getaway. The owner of the B&B where we were staying (Villa Preziosa) recommended this place to us, and we thank him. We tried a Margherita, paccheri alla norma, and octopus Galician-style. Everything was truly excellent, highly recommended! Thank you so much.

21/07/2026: Great lunch this Tuesday. The service was very efficient, and the outdoor seating was lovely for eating in the shade. I thoroughly enjoyed the set menu. Excellent value for money with two courses, wine, water, and a delicious coffee! I highly recommend stopping by.

06/07/2026: Excellent first courses, extraordinary desserts, very welcoming restaurant. Highly recommended.

30/07/2026: Great restaurant, attentive and friendly service, elegant ambience

13/07/2026: I've been seeing Strattoria for years, cycling past it on my way down from Montrigiasco, and last night I decided to stop for dinner with my wife. Without reading any reviews, I trusted the inspiration of the moment. Well, evidently I was truly inspired yesterday, because things have rarely gone so well! A stunning and extremely positive experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is intimate and refined, perfect for an evening for two, and the welcome makes you feel immediately at home while maintaining a high level of professionalism. The cuisine is unusual, bold, and full of character. From the entrées to the desserts, every dish is a journey. The flavors are explosive, and the dishes are visually spectacular, meticulously crafted. An absolute honorable mention goes to the sweetbreads with rhubarb and oyster sauce: a risk that alone is worth the dinner. Worthy of mention are also the wine cellar, which offers refined and original labels, and the service, led by attentive and very friendly staff. In short: top-notch cuisine, a splendid atmosphere, and excellent value for the experience offered. We will definitely be back, highly recommended.

04/05/2026: We were guests of Mr. Angelo for a birthday and it was a wonderful experience. We were fortunate to be the only guests and enjoyed the owner's excellent company as well as the delicious food. This restaurant exudes an atmosphere of old-fashioned hospitality, which unfortunately is becoming increasingly rare. We thank Mr. Valazza and all the staff again for the wonderful evening.

01/04/2026: A truly sublime experience at this historic restaurant, which has lost none of its elegance over the years, both in the dining room and the kitchen. Despite the complex request for a vegan menu for both my friend and I, the chef offered us refined, tasty, and beautifully presented dishes. The service was top-notch, attentive and meticulous, and the wait staff was friendly and approachable. We'll gladly return!

22/07/2026: Nice, welcoming and informal bar, with parking for bar customers.

08/07/2026: My wife and I popped in for a coffee ( I love good coffee.). I had an espresso she had a cappuccino. Both made with segafredo beans. We both felt this was the best cafe we had in our stay in the northern lakes. Total cost €2.90. Great value.

17/06/2026: A restaurant with attentive service and good cuisine made with quality ingredients. The dishes are varied and well-presented, and the meat is excellent. The wine list is also good. Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is friendly and cheerful. The only flaw is that the furnishings are a bit heavy and inconsistent with the Hostaria name, as well as some details (like the poster at the register) that are out of place. But I still recommend it and will return.

13/06/2026: Quiet, family-friendly atmosphere, excellent food. Perfect for a quiet evening with friends. They often have "off-menu" dishes! Highly recommended!

24/06/2026: Great experience at Osteria del Borgo! We stopped for lunch along the highway, having found this little spot very convenient for a stop just a few minutes from the highway exit. And it was definitely worth it! Excellent food, delicious au gratin fish, and the staff were lovely... A stop here is highly recommended!

19/06/2026: I went with my partner a few nights ago and we had a really great time. The welcome and service were excellent, and you could tell the chef has a passion for cooking. The ingredients were very fresh and of the highest quality. We'll definitely be back!

10/06/2026: Beautiful place, spectacular view and you eat by the lake

10/06/2026: The food was 10/10, I've never had such good seafood/pasta, very authentic. The service was superb and the setting was beautiful, right on the lake!

06/04/2026: The pasta was literally half raw, the sauce was salty and, in my opinion, not fresh, but still edible; the cut (poorly cut) and the portion size (5 small pieces) were meager. And considering the price... there was no cover charge listed anywhere, but I think it was around €4 per person, considering we also paid for a 10-month-old (I can understand the 3-and-a-half-year-old). There was no cover charge for water and coffee, but I think they were also around €5 combined. I've tried worse places, but also much better ones.

20/01/2026: Excellent restaurant with a balanced menu of delicious yet simple dishes. Recommended are the tuna millefeuille and the crème cotta with salted caramel.
