I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Novara

29/06/2025: Dining at Olina was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that made us feel instantly comfortable. The service was outstanding — friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and every plate we tried was a masterpiece. Fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and beautiful presentation made the meal truly unforgettable. The [insert favorite dish] was a standout! Olina Restaurant is a gem — perfect for a special occasion or simply enjoying a high-quality meal. We left happy, full, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

13/06/2025: The cooking is still done by hand and with a lot of imagination. The prices are fair and absolutely reasonable. I had tortelloni filled with pumpkin and amatetto filling. My wife had catfish dumplings with polenta. The starter, a perch fillet with dried zucchini, was free... Also free were the faces of the Teutons who expected something different on their plates.

19/10/2025: Mediocre food, service that would be better without it. The atmosphere? Indoors, with birds eating with you. Unfortunately, being the only restaurant in the area allows them to treat customers however they want. I won't return, nor will I recommend it. Unfortunately, 0 doesn't exist, because otherwise, it would be the rating that best reflects the restaurant.

13/10/2025: I booked at Ristorante San Giulio for my mom's birthday, and I have to say we were thrilled! The menu was excellent, every dish delicious and meticulously crafted; the cake we commissioned was delicious and stunning; our table was on the covered terrace overlooking the lake; and the very kind, attentive, and professional staff made this a truly wonderful experience. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back!

10/06/2025: The best ice cream I've ever eaten.

24/05/2025: No other ice cream shop can compete with them.. a point of reference for ice cream lovers for many years. Recommended

30/07/2025: I'm updating my review after 6 years: I've been back several times and can confirm that I've always been greeted with warmth, professionalism, and the quality of the food is unmatched in the entire province. And I'm someone who enjoys good food! Highly recommended for couples, workers, families, and even for anyone looking to treat themselves.

14/06/2025: My wife and I had a great dinner! Excellent quality and elegant food! Congratulations to Chef Federico and all his staff!

30/09/2025: We were greeted very kindly from the moment we called to reserve a table, and were served quickly and with great care. My daughter, who is celiac, had her beloved pizza without any problems (that's not a given). And what can I say, the pizza is truly delicious. I recommend everyone to try it, and I hope I'll be in Trecate again 😀 Best regards from Tuscany

07/09/2025: Since it was my first time, I have to say that I will definitely be back... the fish-based food is really good... the pizza dough is digestible and the homemade desserts are excellent... also recommended for those who are lactose intolerant and suffer from celiac disease... both in the drinks and in the dishes and desserts... the waiters are kind and professional... congratulations

19/07/2025: A historic bar in Castelletto, passed down from father to son, and the courtesy and kindness remain the same. Excellent coffee. Over the years, however, improvements have been made. Well done, Davide.

21/04/2025: Friendly, friendly and fast owner.

02/11/2025: We went to Pinin restaurant a few weeks ago to celebrate my 30th birthday. We had a lovely table with friends and family, and despite the large number, the service was excellent. Since it was a birthday, we opted for a set menu, which everyone loved. Excellent food, fast service, and super helpful staff. I recommend it to everyone!!

12/10/2025: Excellent restaurant, knowledgeable staff and delicious food!

02/08/2025: Excellent food🍺 and a family atmosphere.

11/07/2025: Business lunch for €14 with water and coffee. Mediocre value; there are better options in the area. Convenient parking, best to book. It's a small detour on the main road to Bellinzona. A special mention goes to the 1-liter bottled water.

15/10/2025: Excellent experience. A place with few frills and lots of substance. High quality for the price. Very friendly owner and attentive, friendly staff. Recommended!

26/09/2025: Classic trattoria for lunch at standard/affordable prices, abundant dishes of acceptable quality

27/08/2025: I visited La Darbia for lunch. The place is stunning, nestled in nature, with breathtaking views over Lake Orta. The style blends perfectly with the surroundings. The food is made with top-quality ingredients, and the vegetables come from the on-site garden, which you can even see while dining. You can opt for a 5-course tasting menu, with the option to add the chef's signature dishes (around €100 each, portions for two). We went à la carte. The quality and taste of the dishes are undeniably high, but the portions are quite small. So either keep the prices with larger portions, or lower the prices while keeping the dishes small, allowing you to try more items; at the moment, they feel more like “bites” than full courses. Aside from this, the place is absolutely worth a visit: both the food and the view make the trip worthwhile—maybe next time staying in one of the suites for the full experience. Let me start by saying that I was here for lunch and did not stay at the hotel. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature, with a breathtaking view of Lake Orta. The style blends perfectly with the surrounding environment. The food uses the highest quality ingredients, and the vegetables come from the garden, which is visible even while you eat. You can choose a five-course tasting menu, with the option of adding the chef's signature dishes (about €100 each, portions for two). We opted for the à la carte option. The quality and flavor of the dishes are unquestionable, truly top-notch, but the portions are too small, especially considering they aren't part of the tasting menu but were chosen à la carte. So either they maintain these prices with larger portions, or they lower the prices by keeping the dishes small so you can also try other dishes; for now, we can consider them more like "bites" than actual courses. This detail aside, the place is definitely worth a visit: the quality and view are worth the trip, perhaps in the future staying in one of the suites to enjoy the full experience.

25/08/2025: Not worth the price. The chef’s tasting menu consisted only of vegetarian dishes, save for the last dish of the night. That’s great if you like vegetarian food, not so if you’re a meat eater, also not so for the price. The cocktails were superb. Everything else was just okay - lacking in depth. Food aside, the service was lovely (the blankets provided were divine) and the setting was beautiful. Would I go back? Maybe but stay away from the chef’s table - it’s was not worth it in our minds.

05/10/2025: Good food and excellent service, courtesy and professionalism. The service is attentive and customer-focused, which is my second-most important concern after quality. I highly recommend it.

28/09/2025: Forget it. Stay home instead, since it's really out of the way.

05/10/2025: Beautiful place, thanks in part to a spectacular day... excellent food, finally some well-cooked fish, excellent service. I'll definitely be back.

04/10/2025: Amazing pizza, kind staff and nice vibes on a Saturday evening. Reservation required on our evening

01/10/2025: Delicious pizza I was with my partner and my son I ate two pizzas... Very friendly staff I recommend everyone to go and eat pizza there

17/08/2025: Good pizzas and good price, lots of variety.

30/10/2025: This hotel is perfect. The staff is lovely. The restaurant is really very good and child-friendly (children's menus and high chairs). Ideal location.

04/10/2025: Historic venue on Lake Orta Great location

09/11/2025: Very welcoming and friendly place. Very kind staff (they changed our table to one with a lake view as soon as it became available). The food was good and very tasty... fun and tasty experiments. Recommended!

08/11/2025: Excellent food. Decent selection. Very nice location and ambiance. Service could be improved. Fair prices.
