I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Novara

03/05/2026: We decided to go out for pizza at the last minute and found this restaurant! Since it was a Saturday night, it was a little difficult to find a table, but the guy (I think the owner) offered us a table until 9 pm! As soon as we arrived, he explained the menu to us, and the service was fast! Excellent pizza with truly delicious options, something for all tastes! We'll definitely be back.

23/02/2026: Pizzeria Giulio Cesare was our favorite pizzeria for a long time, before we discovered other options. The variety of doughs (grain, kamut, charcoal, whole wheat, turmeric) is still appreciated, a variety that isn't always obvious. We visited again recently and found that, compared to the beginning, the pizzas are a little less topped, while still maintaining a good base and good overall quality. It remains one of the best pizzerias around, and I definitely recommend it.

08/05/2026: Fast and courteous service, really excellent value for money

03/05/2026: Excellent quality pizza, both in terms of ingredients and dough. Helpful and discreet staff.

09/05/2026: Very good place to stay ( only minus - shower cabin quite small). Good location, good food and wine, excellent service Definitely recommend

05/04/2026: There were 23 of us, the day before Easter. The dishes were very good, but the wait was incredibly long and poorly organized. People who had already finished were alternating with those still waiting for their first course. Some people's orders were canceled because they ran out of supplies (half an hour after ordering), and when it came time to get the bill, they couldn't charge everyone their full amount; they simply divided the bill by the number of people attending. So, those who only ordered one course lost out, while those who stuffed themselves with more gained. In short, the place wasn't up to the task of handling large groups.

03/05/2026: Fantastic experience! Excellent cuisine, impeccable service, and extremely friendly staff. The stunning terrace overlooking Lake Orta offers peace and relaxation. There were five of us, and we had a truly special time. The chef's visit at the end of the meal was also very welcome. Highly recommended!

28/03/2026: Abbiamo scelto questo ristorante nel 2019 per il ricevimento del nostro matrimonio. Nonostante il covid ci abbia fatto rimandare due volte la data,Elena e il suo staff ci sono stati sempre vicini rassicurandoci costantemente! finalmente il 7 maggio siamo riusciti a sposarci e non posso che essere contenta di tutto!Elena e Nella sono state non solo perfette nel loro lavoro organizzativo,ma sono diventate la nostra seconda casa!Aperitivo abbondante e gustoso,primi piatti delicati, secondo di carne che si scioglieva in bocca..tutto merito dello chef che cura con minuziosità il menu. Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto sfruttare il fantastico parco fiorito causa maltempo. Abbiamo dormito in struttura e le camere sono curate e comode. Che dire,lo consigliamo assolutamente a tutte le coppie che vogliono sposarsi sul lago d'Orta! Grazie ad Elena e al suo staff,vi vogliamo bene! Chiara & Renato

10/05/2026: Excellent service and very good gluten-free pizza

10/05/2026: The restaurant, located on the long promenade that runs along the lake, offers excellent service. In my case, I had the pizza...for my taste, it was too thin but well-filled.

03/05/2026: Beautiful location, good quality of food too

27/04/2026: Beautiful place surrounded by greenery. Average food. Terrible service. We started eating around 1:30 PM. We had three children with us who ordered a separate menu, and each of their courses was served quite a bit later than ours. The kids ate their cutlet at 4:15 PM (after several reminders). When it came time to pay, when we pointed out what had happened, they didn't even apologize. Not recommended

23/12/2025: Excellent pastry shop. Unfortunately, it will close permanently on December 25th.

17/12/2025: If you're passing through Novara, a stop at Pasticceria Gramigni Ettore dal 1964 isn't just recommended, it's a must. Entering this place means immersing yourself in the city's true pastry tradition, greeted by the aroma of home and top-quality ingredients. ​Pane di San Gaudenzio: Simply Divine ​The highlight is, without a doubt, their Pane di San Gaudenzio, a true work of art: ​The texture: A fragrant crust enclosing an incredibly soft center. ​The flavor: The balance between the leavened dough and the abundance of pine nuts and raisins is perfect, never cloying. ​The authenticity: You can taste that the historic recipe is followed with an artisanal care that is rare today. ​ ​Beyond the quality of the products, what makes Gramigni special is the atmosphere. You can sense the passion of a historic business that has been delighting the palates of Novara residents since 1964. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and proud to present their creations. ​Whether for a special gift or a personal treat, Gramigni's Pane di San Gaudenzio is the ultimate expression of this traditional Novara dessert. A well-deserved five stars!

04/05/2026: Panisia al salto – a positive impression for someone who has tried this dish for the first time – well-seasoned and tasty. Liver with onions in a goulash – good, intense flavor, although the flavor could be softened with some herbs or spices. Cod in tomatoes – delicious. Donkey goulash with baked polenta – probably the best dish we've ever had. Fast, efficient service. Good homemade food at an affordable price.

12/04/2026: Great place , but bring your own flip flops, the ones given to you are extremely uncomfortable.

05/05/2026: Highly recommended restaurant: excellent food and friendly, helpful staff

27/04/2026: Well-kept environment, very friendly staff, good pizza

11/05/2026: Excellent pizzeria and seafood! I had a second helping of seafood paella and an excellent grilled fish.

21/04/2026: Wonderful people. I called to see if we could arrive at 10:00 PM for dinner. They confirmed when they could have (rightly) said no and that they were about to close. They welcomed us with a smile, and we ate some excellent meat.

11/05/2026: The cashier was very kind and professional. The atmosphere was excellent. The service and food were of high quality. We will definitely be returning.

20/04/2026: A quaint and very pleasant place. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted warmly and professionally. The waiters were all friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the missing star for service was due to a blonde waitress who was rather smug, irritating, and unaccommodating. Unfortunately, the overall positive experience was marred by this employee's lack of courtesy. I completely understand that workers have bad days, but I also believe it's part of the job to be able to be courteous to customers despite personal issues.

12/04/2026: Deliciously original Deliciously gentle Deliciously refined Deliciously indulgent In short, deliciously delicious.

24/02/2026: Great experience. If you're looking for a place for a pleasant evening, this is it. Excellent, from the service to the food.

04/04/2026: A very welcoming restaurant, good food. I really appreciated the tranquility and serenity of this atmosphere, the view of the lake that makes you dream between one course and the next.

16/03/2026: Highly recommended! A relaxing lunch overlooking the lake, with carefully selected ingredients cooked to maintain authenticity, remarkable flavors, and taste. Efficient, friendly, and never intrusive service. A very pleasant atmosphere and easy to find. Excellent value for money.

19/12/2025: Whenever we're in the area for work, we stop here for lunch. Always excellent, everything tastes good.

23/11/2025: Very pleasant evening. Very kind and friendly staff.
