I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Novara

16/12/2025: Excellent restaurant, the owners are welcoming and friendly!! The food is good and the portions are just right!!

12/12/2025: Good food, good service, very chaotic environment

08/02/2026: It's cramped, you eat less compared to how much you burn. The bathrooms are poorly hygienic, but above all, what's mouthwash, toothpicks, and coffee cups doing in the toilet?

30/01/2026: A restaurant and bar inside the Fasoli Piante nursery, located in front of the internal entrance, with plenty of tables in a large and charming setting, adorned with plants and flowers. The service is fast and friendly, with a nice, comprehensive restaurant menu of appetizers, first courses, second courses, side dishes, and desserts, featuring primarily excellent Fassona beef, both cooked and raw. Prices are moderately high and offer good value. Of course, it also serves as a bar outside of mealtimes, for dinner, and for aperitifs. I recommend it.

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: Here, the food is still cooked by hand with a lot of imagination. The prices are fair and absolutely reasonable. I had tortellini filled with pumpkin amatetto filling. My wife had catfish dumplings with polenta. The starter, perch fillet with dried zucchini, was free... Also free were the looks on the faces of the Germans who expected something different on their plates.

26/08/2025: Small, unpretentious bar with very pleasant waitresses where you can eat and drink very well for almost nothing 👌

22/08/2025: I went there three times during my stay in Orta San Diego, just for breakfast with my son. A more than adorable welcome, attentive waitresses, a cappuccino to die for, and very reasonable prices (€1.60 for a cappuccino). The cafeteria opens at 8:00 a.m., a time when you can easily park in the free white spaces. Finally, behind it, you can sit in the quiet garden.

19/12/2025: A welcoming and traditional restaurant in the center of Galliate, serving well-crafted Italian and Piedmontese cuisine using quality ingredients. Many diners appreciate local appetizers, tasty pasta dishes, and Fassona beef, along with a nice selection of wines and a pleasant, family-friendly atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the value is good. Service can be a bit slow at times, but the overall experience is positive.

15/12/2025: Traditional, quality cuisine, tasty and well-served dishes.

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!

21/12/2025: A pleasant surprise. I stopped by one day on vacation, returning from a short trip to Barengo in the Novara hills. I had a prix fixe lunch, and it was really good. Great value. Excellent, warm, welcoming place. Worth a stop in, in my opinion.

01/12/2025: Trattoria offering a fixed lunch menu for €13, including water/wine and coffee. Fast and friendly service. Very cozy and family-friendly atmosphere. There was a fireplace, which always creates a lovely atmosphere in the winter!

22/01/2026: It's been years since I've eaten in a restaurant of this caliber, everything was truly excellent, chapeau

04/12/2025: Excellent experience. High-end cuisine with excellent service. Excellent wine list with a wide selection. Excellent service and hospitality.

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

17/11/2025: Very clean, quiet hotel with very friendly staff. The restaurant serves Piedmontese cuisine and offers quick service.

27/01/2026: Sometimes, I get takeout pizza. I'd say the quality is excellent and the price isn't excessive.

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

22/12/2025: If you're walking around Arona and aren't sure whether you're hungry or just feeling a little peckish before a meal, this place is perfect. They serve main courses or tapas, and indeed, even the tapas are quite filling: the one with tomino cheese and honey is a real treat. The main courses are incredibly rich: mine was the tagliatelle with pumpkin, super creamy and incredibly balanced thanks to the fried sage and black cherry flavor. The tiramisu is served in a chocolate cup, which helps to cut through the grease. If you don't drink, the price isn't outrageous.

21/12/2025: CAFE DE LA SERA. Today, more than ever, the story of one of Arona's iconic lakeside venues continues. Let's put aside the fond memories of an after-dinner venue for the night; the management of these dynamic young people has created an incredibly contemporary and high-quality format. High-end themed cocktail menu, an impressive wine list packed with big names, provenances, and discoveries, and a small winemaker you'll rarely find so refined and well-structured. The youthful atmosphere has remained, and that's wonderful, and if we want to eat in the "Small" Room, which is more of a restaurant, it's truly a pleasure. What did I mean by Format? The food! We enjoyed it and had fun. The quality was top-notch, the cuisine using excellent ingredients, and for some dishes, you could choose a Tappa portion or a whole plate. I challenge you... reading the menu, you'll want to try everything. We also tried the traditional Plin, and here we truly got a standing ovation because the handmade quality beats even the Langhe-style establishments. Congratulations! DON'T MISS THE CAFE AT ANY TIME OF YOUR EVENING, the dear "Old" Legendary CAFE.

11/01/2026: We were there today. The meat and service were excellent. Highly recommended.

10/01/2026: Very nice place, excellent staff, and super good meat! I'll definitely be back!

12/10/2025: Truly everything excellent, great choice, quality and speed of service.

10/09/2025: Fantastic, the food is exquisite and very well cared for To recommend

07/01/2026: Family lunch with a pre-arranged set menu, very disappointing. The appetizer consisted of low-quality cured meats and little else. Everything was freezing cold straight out of the fridge. The risotto was the only dish that was adequate. The main course was cold and rubbery and tasted only of microwave. I was hoping to finish with Pinin's famous dessert, featuring gelato and various toppings, but this was also a disappointment: industrial-strength gelato full of ice cubes and frozen fruit. All this in a freezing cold dining room, despite being fully booked. Never again!

21/12/2025: I've been back after a few years, and it's always a pleasure... excellent cuisine with a good selection of dishes on the menu. Good service with almost no wait times. Comfortable and spacious atmosphere.

12/01/2026: I have to say the food wasn't bad, quite the opposite. Unfortunately, the service was very, very slow, and we gave up on a second course. Overall, I recommend it if you're in the area.

04/01/2026: Nice place, friendly staff, but we entered at 1:00 PM, orders were taken at 1:30 PM, and the appetizers were not very generous. At 2:30 PM, we had other tables to serve before us. We also had a small child who could only eat breadsticks... so we left. Perhaps we would have eaten well, but the wait was excessive.
