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

10/06/2026: Very bad service!!! Disgusting food, the fish tasted like rubber and no offer of any discount on the bill.

10/06/2026: Incredible service, delicious food. We had the octopus and tuna; they were super fresh and absolutely succulent. We will definitely be back to try the remaining dishes. We had a wonderful time and compliments to all the staff.

04/06/2026: I stopped at this wine shop for an unusual aperitivo (I still had breakfast), where I tasted a glass of Erbaluce, a wine I wasn't familiar with, and it delighted my palate. The accompaniment was a hand-chopped beef tartare with cabbage and hazelnuts. Impeccably made, I enjoyed every bite. I'm sorry I couldn't make it back to buy something, but I had an unexpected setback. From what I saw, they have a well-stocked cellar, with a variety of labels and types of wine. They clearly know their craft, and I can't wait to return when I'm in the area.

04/06/2026: This restaurant is located in a quaint alley in the center of Orta San Giulio, in a charming and quiet setting. The menu is simple and rustic, featuring some Piedmontese specialties such as bagna cauda and tartare (a type of meat stew). The charcuterie and cheese platter was rather generic; I would personally avoid the cooked ham, which doesn't particularly enhance the offerings. The overall impression is that the restaurant caters primarily to tourists, mostly foreigners. The real strength, however, is the welcome: both the young man serving the tables and the man I assume is his father are very friendly and genuine. While not particularly professional, they exude passion, friendliness, and a love for their work, contributing to a pleasant, family-like atmosphere. A simple, unpretentious place, but with an authentic soul.

06/05/2026: What we ordered: open raviolo with scallops and courgette flowers, with lemon and black garlic sauce, spaghetti with red shrimp absolute, intense bisque, seared shrimp and fresh basil, asparagus ravioli with butter, roast sauce, crispy bacon and balsamic vinegar, eggplant and yellowfin tuna parmiggiana with almond cream and sesame dressing. I won't describe in detail my impressions of each dish, as I would have to repeat the exact same thing for each one. Each was top-notch. A true feast for the palate. The yellowfin tuna deserves special mention, both for the quality of the fish used and the perfect way it was cooked to perfection. The scallop ravioli was similar. The sauce made from the heads and shells of the red shrimp was very intense – it made a truly impressive impression. The asparagus ravioli was heavenly light. The service was excellent, demonstrating sensitivity and class. The wine was perfectly matched. Fair price-quality ratio.

27/04/2026: A good restaurant for lunch. Varied menu. Friendly service.

18/04/2026: Beautiful view outside, but I wouldn't eat inside. Service was good.

12/04/2026: It's truly a gem. An enviable location, just before the entrance to Orta, on the hill overlooking the lake, with a wonderful view! Excellent breakfast, on the veranda overlooking the lake or, if desired, on the terrace. Guaranteed parking for guests, which in Orta is a big plus. Exceptional cleanliness and hospitality.

08/05/2026: I ate very well, too bad it's hidden, but I assure you the food is excellent! I've never eaten an egg like this!!!

04/05/2026: My partner and I had the best pasta dish of our holiday!

06/05/2026: Tried to go as they had a big menu but learned it is all frozen food so we left. Disappointed

25/04/2026: Friendly service. The ham focaccia, coffee, and cake were delicious. A quiet and cozy garden with shade, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists in the old town.

09/06/2026: Found it by chance while browsing Maps. It's a lovely place and the food is good! Highly recommended!

01/06/2026: Don't judge a book by its cover. The lakeside veranda is absolutely worth it; the menu and service are delightful.

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.

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.

06/04/2026: ...we've been coming for years and it's always a wonderful experience. The food and organization are super efficient, and the staff are incredibly friendly! Definitely worth a try! 😊👍

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.

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.

03/05/2026: A fried dumpling, two beers, and a cover charge (nothing) for €3 each. I think they should lower the price a bit. We live on Lake Garda...

16/04/2026: If we could, we'd give more stars. A truly unique culinary experience. A very cool place, rustically decorated, with a good selection of background music, and fast, friendly, attentive, and professional service. The food was truly unique and an explosion of flavor. From the appetizer to the house wine, dessert, and espresso. Simply wow. We've never had such good Italian food for such a fair price. We stumbled upon it by chance. Absolutely recommended. My friend, who is rarely satisfied, was speechless.
