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

05/07/2026: Excellent experience!! I went there for lunch with my family and was able to try several dishes. The restaurant offers a variety of appetizers, first courses, and second courses, with a wide selection of desserts as well. We had gnocchi stuffed with pesto, yellow cherry tomatoes, and buffalo mozzarella, a cutlet with Caesar dressing accompanied by a salad, and zuccotti with a creamy eggplant and apricot sauce. The dishes looked very good, and the taste confirmed their excellence. The cutlet, though simple, was cooked really well with a lovely crust. The gnocchi were my favorite dish because the contrast between the cold buffalo mozzarella and the warm gnocchi made everything delicious. I have no complaints about the service; it was exceptional. I might add that the dishes were clearly freshly made and not reheated. It's in a very strategic and beautiful location overlooking the lake. As I said at the beginning, it was a very nice experience and I think I will go back.

19/06/2026: The restaurant is centrally located in the beautiful square, where you can enjoy al fresco lunch or dinner overlooking the island of San Giulio. This isn't our first time here, and we've always had a great experience. The menu varies seasonally and features an excellent wine list.

10/07/2026: A superb discovery worthy of a travel guide. Lunch or dinner in the beautiful square of Orta, overlooking the lake and the magnificent little island. Impeccable service, the warmest welcome we've experienced in Italy, a young couple who recently took over and who did a flawless job during our lunch. You can go there without hesitation! Thank you!

07/07/2026: A stellar experience. Wait staff & service is the very best. Accomodating and gracious. The food comes in a close second, but just barely.

11/07/2026: Great food. Great wine. Great people. We ordered one of everything and the specials too. We could have spent the entire day here if they didn’t close after lunch.

06/07/2026: Very few but incredibly delicious selections served in a tiny ancient street- charming!

11/07/2026: Very good food and a hidden gem

04/07/2026: A restaurant in the city center, but away from the tourist traffic. Pleasant service and excellent food. Well done!!!

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.

06/07/2026: Family lunch on Saturday, July 4th, so a special day. Extremely charming place: the lakeside terrace is a gem. We had tajarin with pesto, fish & chips (superb), and dessert: everything was delicious with generous portions. Prompt and friendly service. Highly recommended.

20/06/2026: A very good meal, an idyllic setting, and impeccable service. Special thanks to Pap and Jonathan for their kindness and professionalism.

22/07/2026: Nice, welcoming and informal bar, with parking for bar customers.

08/07/2026: My wife and I popped in for a coffee ( I love good coffee.). I had an espresso she had a cappuccino. Both made with segafredo beans. We both felt this was the best cafe we had in our stay in the northern lakes. Total cost €2.90. Great value.

15/05/2026: The name says it all. Only pizza! But it's very good, fast, and inexpensive. I'd gladly come back anytime. The staff is super friendly. All this in a very charming little town on a hill. Until next time.

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

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.

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.

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.

04/08/2026: Very delicious food and friendly staff.

12/07/2026: The restaurant is two minutes from our apartment. I thought I'd just grab a quick pizza, but it turned out to be a very busy restaurant. I was glad there was still room for two. And the pizza was truly fantastic. Two super-friendly young girls serving. In short, highly recommended. And as for the price: in the Netherlands, you pay double.
