I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Novara

11/03/2026: Excellent food and professional staff

10/03/2026: What a great find! Even though it's close to home, we'd never tried it before. The place specializes in grilled meats and pizza. We tried the tomahawk and I have to say it was sublime. The staff was kind and attentive. Next time we'd like to try the pizza, which looked really inviting.

27/03/2026: A place with good food and good quality music, courtesy and kindness

19/03/2026: I visited the Opificio guys for the second time in a year, this time to celebrate a special occasion, and once again they were impeccable. The place is simply enchanting: welcoming, youthful, fresh, and fun, yet still well-maintained, with the entrance offering a great view of their shop's products and the wine and beverage section. The menu is truly extensive, offering plenty of original options, even for vegetarians. The most appreciable thing is that they don't discriminate between the gastronomic choices: alongside a traditional dish like veal with tuna sauce, you'll find delicious vegetarian appetizers, without necessarily separating the two categories. The noodles and grilled cabbage are incredibly delicious, and the sauces are well-rounded but don't overpower the flavors. The staff and service are the restaurant's strong points, as their kindness and smiles make you feel at ease from start to finish. I'll be back very soon, fantastic!

10/11/2025: At the OK Bar in Castelletto Ticino, you can find excellent breakfasts in the morning, delicious coffee, and a nice roaster that also sells excellent coffee. The cakes are also very good. Lake Maggiore is just a few steps away.

24/10/2025: At Ok Bar, you truly feel at home. A refined and welcoming establishment, run by extraordinary people who combine professionalism and warmth. You don't come here just for a coffee—which, incidentally, is excellent and hand-roasted on-site—but to indulge in a moment of true relaxation. It's the ideal place for a leisurely break, a chat with friends, and that pleasant sense of familiarity that only Ok can offer.

23/01/2026: perhaps one of the best restaurants my husband and I have frequented, magnificent

16/11/2025: We had lunch here today! We used a gift voucher. A very, very cute little place. All the dishes were unique and delicious. I had the fish tasting menu, while my husband had the à la carte dishes. Everything was truly excellent!!! I love first courses, and they were excellent here; I had the purple gnocchi with swordfish and scialatielli with clams, while my husband had a blueberry, sausage, and toma risotto...delicious! And what can I say about the desserts!!!! Mine was a raspberry mousse with meringue, while my husband had a zabaglione, which was prepared in front of us. The service was also excellent: not intrusive, always attentive to the table, and very kind. We're thinking of returning soon. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

03/12/2025: Delicious food, superb pizza, excellent service with attentive and caring staff. Prices are absolutely reasonable and justified. Congratulations.

22/11/2025: The kindness was excellent and the dishes served were excellent and tasty. We will definitely be back.

27/03/2026: A truly remarkable culinary experience, thanks to dishes that are original and creative, yet perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor! The quality of the ingredients is excellent, and the tasting experience was a delight from start to finish. The venue is well-maintained and very welcoming. The only thing I think could be improved is the service: impeccable, but perhaps too formal and pretentious.

24/03/2026: The experience exceeded our expectations, to say the least. The restaurant is very well-maintained and the staff is very professional and polite. The dishes are all excellent, and the tasting menu is truly delicious. This restaurant offers truly excellent service, and is definitely worth a try!

10/04/2026: Lakefront restaurant, with the option of dining al fresco overlooking the water with background music. We had the fish soup served in a pan. After eating half of it, it was taken back to the kitchen to clean the rest and add the linguine. Spectacular. Reasonable prices. Friendly and helpful service.

07/04/2026: An exceptional experience at Il Rapanello! Everything was absolutely perfect: impeccable service, incredibly refined dishes, and a perfectly chosen wine to enhance the entire experience. A true haute cuisine experience. I highly recommend it!

22/02/2026: If you're in Galliate or the surrounding area and looking for a place to eat, don't miss the opportunity to try this place. Excellent food and super welcoming owners. Highly recommended.

15/02/2026: We went there for dinner with friends and family and had a really good time. Spectacular food, excellent service, a family atmosphere, and super friendly and approachable owners. Everything was delicious, but an honorable mention goes to the tiramisu, which was out of this world for me. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money. I can't wait to go back again.

23/01/2026: A shell place. For those in the area, this is a fun place to go. Great and cheap pizzas. A selection of draft beers, which were really good. Fun atmosphere. Big place. Plenty of parking. Open until late. Lots of local people and live music. We really enjoyed it.

11/01/2026: I went yesterday for the first time... overall, the experience wasn't as positive as I expected. I have nothing to say about the live entertainment, which is one of the venue's strong points. I wanted to have dinner to secure a seat, but it was a negative experience, not so much for the food, which is average for a pub, but for the wait after ordering: an hour and a half to receive the dinner, something embarrassing that can't exist these days! All the tables around us had the same wait, so I can't believe it was packed just this evening, because the venue is known in the area for its live entertainment, so I think the food service organization needs a complete overhaul. One more thing... what's the point of having fans blowing cold air on people? ..a piece of advice: create a sort of compass/put a bulkhead to accompany the entrance to the venue, because with the coming and going of people, a polar draft was entering the venue, as evidenced by the many people sitting with their jackets on. And besides, it's a waste of heating that doesn't do its job at all. Next time I'll be "already eaten" and wearing tights underneath...

08/03/2026: Top post fresh fish very good starters and first courses amazing not to mention the second courses fried and grilled superlatives I recommend you take a look

02/03/2026: We returned to Lello's after a long time. The dishes met our expectations. Excellent food and fresh fish. Thanks to Mrs. Renata, who advised us and accommodated our requests. Highly recommended.

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.

26/12/2025: Unfortunately, my Christmas lunch was an unpleasant experience. I called to ask if it was possible to have a vegetarian menu, possibly with fish, and the answer was no problem, in fact, I can indulge myself. The price of the menu was €60, drinks not included, and we were told that they would give us a discount... moral of the story: 4 courses that could have passed for vegetarians because they were on the normal menu with vegetables and cheese. I must point out that we, there were 3 of us, were not given the vegetarian menu. Our 3 friends were given the Christmas lunch menu like all the other diners. Instead of the crostini with salmon, we were given a raw artichoke salad, then risotto with pumpkin, which I didn't have because I'm intolerant. I had gnocchi with castelmagno cheese, as a second course, a vegetable burger with cooked vegetables, which I didn't want, and to finish, a slice of artisanal panettone... moral of the story: at the time of payment, €60. per person, when we mentioned the discount, the response was, "Well, it's Christmas!" So if because it's Christmas I have to spend the aforementioned amount to eat next to nothing, I'll go to a place where they have a vegetarian menu with the option of fish and spend €30/35 max...never again."

10/02/2026: Excellent in every way, I recommend it 100% Those who go know what I say. Thanks

15/12/2025: Lunch menu always valid for €15, good choice.

24/02/2026: There was a fixed menu for €13, but we opted for the a la carte menu. Disappointed with the appetizer, cured meats, and cheeses for €9, perhaps it was right not to expect more... the sore point for me was her majesty the paniscia! It was just a creamy risotto with beans, that's all! The great chef expects it and prepares it this way, but life isn't a paniscia. You can drink it à la carte.

14/02/2026: The service and food are truly excellent. The chef's risottos are out of this world. We've tried several dishes, and they've always been top-notch. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, almost like being at home. Highly recommended.

04/12/2025: The panettone is excellent. Exceptional. The small pastries are perfect for a treat. Marzia is very kind.

29/11/2025: Unfortunately, we weren't able to order anything because the owner rudely kicked us out of the place like two thieves, as we had a small 5kg dog with us. I recommend the owner put up a larger sign to highlight the prohibition.

30/03/2026: When you enter this place, you feel like you've stepped back into the 1950s. A trattoria with just a few tables, a husband and wife team serving the dishes, and the grandmother 👵 sitting at a table in front of the cashier checking out the food. I recommend starting with the traditional appetizer, then deciding whether to continue with the first course or the second course. In any case, the flavors of these dishes aren't gourmet; they'll tickle your taste buds. I'll definitely be back.

29/03/2026: The food, the atmosphere, the service, the location—everything was perfect. A fantastic place!
