I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Orta san giulio della Novara

23/02/2026: The hotel is in a quiet but truly beautiful location. Our room was spacious and welcoming, with a very comfortable bed and a view of the lake. Convenient for visiting the center or as a starting point for pleasant walks. The staff were very friendly. It will definitely be even more beautiful in the summer, thanks to the outdoor pool. I highly recommend it.

01/01/2026: Enviable panoramic location, very convenient parking, very close to the center and the pier, very kind and welcoming staff, beautiful room, I ate very well, what can I say! A total of 10 out of 10.

03/03/2026: The place is very small and dimly lit, but this creates a lovely atmosphere. The menu offers a limited selection, very simple and rustic. The charcuterie board is generous and very good, and the sausage cooked in wine is also very flavorful. I recommend this place for a casual, no-frills lunch or dinner. We had a great time.

01/03/2026: An unusual and atmospheric place. A small menu with typical dishes; I loved the bagna cauda (I'd never tried it before, thinking I didn't like anchovies) – paired with fresh vegetables and a good wine, it was simply delicious! For appetizers, we had a platter of various cheeses, prosciutto, and salami. The kids were initially a bit surprised not to see pasta or anything more familiar on the menu, but in the end, my son chose the sausage and my daughter the tartare, and we were all satisfied. The place is very cozy, small, and warm. I didn't take photos to avoid people being in the frame. Fond memories.

13/01/2026: In the heart of Orta San Giulio, overlooking the main square and the lake, Ai Due Santi offers an experience that captivates all the senses. The main dining room features a spectacular rock wall that creates an intimate and evocative atmosphere. The elegant and meticulously crafted tablescape contributes to a refined and welcoming atmosphere. The food is expertly prepared with quality ingredients and presented in a refined and harmonious manner, demonstrating great attention to both flavor and aesthetics. The staff is courteous, polite, and always friendly, attentive to the customer's needs without ever being intrusive. A place where cuisine, beauty, and emotion meet. I recommend this experience.

09/03/2026: Truly a surprise in terms of hospitality and professionalism. Ample parking in a truly challenging area; impossible on holidays. Coffee and pastry shop available both inside and outside the building. Ample outdoor seating. Play area and garden for children. A pleasure to try! A short walk from the city center.

16/02/2026: Pastry shop near the historic center, beautiful view, indoor and outdoor tables, friendly staff, highly recommended.

14/01/2026: The bill isn't a surprise, but we'd prefer it to be less salty. The food is expertly prepared. Fantastic location.

06/01/2026: A spectacular location, the lake accompanies the meal (whether lunch or dinner), enriching the culinary experience. Excellent cuisine, served with professionalism. Want to turn a lunch into a memory? I recommend it.

16/11/2025: Fantastic! We really had a great time. The location is stunning. The service is very attentive. The dishes are exquisitely refined, a return to the past that leaves the customer satisfied. We'll be back because it was truly worth it! The chef is kind and helpful.

14/10/2025: Spectacular culinary experience to celebrate my birthday! Words fail to describe it, a feast for the taste buds! The staff was young and friendly, not your typical pompous restaurant!

14/02/2026: Very good and easy-to-digest pizza, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

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

10/01/2026: Excellent pizza, with a few carefully prepared dishes. Attentive service, and they accommodated our needs when my wife was pregnant. Four stars because we tried calling twice (during business hours) and they didn't answer. In the end, we went anyway and it was open—so much the better!

07/01/2026: Excellent pizza, good dough, good and fresh ingredients, very kind staff, the only thing that the drinks are super expensive.

04/01/2026: A very characteristic location in the center of Orta. Very structured menu; the appetizers could easily be second courses. Extensive and refined wine list. Experienced, attentive service. Medium-high prices. A must try! 💚

27/12/2025: Very nice place. Really good food. The waiters were kind, polite, and attentive. You might be wondering why only 2 stars. If I could split the rating, I'd give 5 stars to the overall experience, the food, and the waiters, and 1 star to the "supposed owner" (or, at least, the person who pretended to be one). Throughout the lunch, she did nothing but read aloud the negative reviews of local restaurants, denigrating and ridiculing them. She then added a few minutes of criticism and polemic (not at all constructive) towards Villa Crespi, calling it inadequate and complaining that Orta is known only for the Villa and its Michelin-starred restaurant. She also stated loudly that Villa Crespi would delete negative Tripadvisor reviews so it always has good reviews. An unpleasant comment that confirms her intention to take pleasure in denigrating others. That said, if you enjoy good food at a traditional, local restaurant, I recommend it. I hope the woman reads this comment and realizes the bad publicity she's given not only to her competitors, but also to her own restaurant. My only practical advice for the restaurant: the dark bread is good, but the white one is a bit hard. I'd replace it.

07/09/2025: San Giulio Island is beautiful. Don't miss it.

14/07/2025: Very friendly, typical and above all very well-equipped little town! I would like to give a huge thumbs up for having made bins available almost everywhere, which fortunately forces tourists to respect them! I was afraid of walking around the lake and I must say that I was surprisingly surprised by the facilities!!!! Tourists are spoiled! The little tourist train, nice! And above all very practical! The island to visit, a haven of peace!!! Very quick crossing by small boat, with very friendly and attentive staff. Small downside.... There are many restaurants, menus and drinks that are decent, but from the start and automatically we are spoken to in English, whereas it would be more pleasant in Italian!!!!

08/02/2026: Truly evocative place, impeccable service and excellent food.

07/02/2026: Beautiful restaurant, elegant and welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are excellent, prepared with quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The service was excellent! The staff were kind, attentive, and always available. A truly positive experience, I will definitely return and recommend it without hesitation.

22/02/2026: The best gluten-free pizza in the entire area. The Purgatorio pizza is delicious.

21/02/2026: We always stop here when we're in the area....amazing location...great service and quality food...we'll definitely be back.

02/01/2026: A very well-maintained and welcoming pub, with an inviting appearance and a traditional atmosphere that invites you to linger. Excellent parking and a convenient location, just a short distance from the center of Orta San Giulio. A good selection of beers and perfectly pub-style tables, ideal for an informal meeting or an evening with friends. The sandwich was authentic and made with quality ingredients: the piadina and vegetables tasted fresh and well-sourced, although overall the flavor was a bit delicate and lackluster. Truly excellent service, with attentive, helpful, and always present staff who make the difference and make the experience very pleasant. Overall, a recommended place, especially for the atmosphere, the beers, and the customer service.

25/09/2025: We celebrated our wedding reception here. The staff is super friendly, the service is great, and the location is fantastic because you can party until late. The view of Villa Crespi was also lovely, and they make great cocktails! A really nice place for a drink.
