05/10/2025: Fantastic service and super delicious pizza, fair prices at all the luxurious hotels

04/10/2025: It's best to make a reservation in advance because it gets busy. We arrived without a reservation, but they were still nice and offered us a table for an hour. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.

26/09/2025: Had a great meal right on the lake

12/09/2025: Excellent evening, delicious cuisine and very friendly welcome

21/10/2025: Beautiful restaurant, fantastic staff, and delicious food. As soon as you walk in, you'll be greeted by the scent of home. Traditional dishes, MADE WELL! The service was like that of a luxury restaurant; the waitress was meticulous and attentive to each table. For example, one napkin was stained with wine, and she promptly brought a clean one without asking. The owners were fantastic and sweet! It was a wonderful discovery, and I'll gladly return! Thank you so much for providing us with a wonderful and delicious lunch.

19/10/2025: Beautiful! Amazing service, really good food and wine! Thank you a lot!

15/10/2025: We had dinner and had a truly wonderful time with all the courses...the carbonara was an A+ and the sliced ​​steak with porcini mushrooms was spectacular, not to mention the homemade desserts. I tried the tiramisu, it was amazing! It was all accompanied by an excellent Cannonau wine, excellent value for money. To finish, we drank local gentian, which is very rare to find, and the myrtle too...the owners were very kind, friendly, and welcoming.

20/09/2025: Very nice and historic location. Family-run restaurant and very good food. Super friendly and friendly staff. See you next time :)

10/10/2025: I'll start by saying that it was recommended to me by locals, so despite the high but mixed reviews, I decided to try this Osteria. The road to get there, in my opinion, is accessible and typical, but only if you have no particular driving difficulties. We're not in the plains, so it's typical mountain roads, weather-beaten... but they're easily passable. If you have trouble parking in Milan, leave your car on the main road and take a walk that won't ruin your appetite. As for the restaurant itself, I'd say it's worth a visit; it's very characteristic and offers a truly evocative view. Personally, I think the location is worth the effort. As for lunch, I have to say I enjoyed it; the dishes were good and the portions were normal, except for the platters, which I found a bit on the small side. Sometimes tastes can confuse the perception of flavors. I found the first courses to be very light and delicate; I personally had the linguine with porcini mushrooms, and I usually find more bold flavors. For the platters, I think it's different... the cured meats were good, as were the jams, but the portions were very small. The dessert was good, but described differently than it was when it arrived. There was ice cream, but it wasn't mentioned. It didn't detract from its deliciousness; in fact, being an apple tart, it paired perfectly. Sometimes, however, different expectations can be confusing and risk disappointing. I would return, for the location—certainly, it's best if it's a nice day, but it's still beautiful regardless—to better understand the flavors and dishes. Sometimes in certain places, you expect strong, bold flavors, while here everything is very delicate. Worth a try...

03/10/2025: The restaurant is in a fantastic location! The dishes are delicious and refined, everything is fantastic! The only downside is the wait between dishes! Overall, a highly recommended experience!

11/10/2025: Wow!!! My parents have always told me about this place, and I finally got to try it...a delight!!! Quality snails, mushroom pappardelle, and polenta were the best I've ever tasted. The young and very kind waiters. I'll definitely be back.

05/10/2025: Passing by, I ate at this culinary wonder. The dishes were truly meticulously prepared, including a special Val d'Ossola cured meats appetizer with two truly exceptional cheeses, delicious polenta concia, and a veal round with tuna sauce and delicious capers—truly superb. The house Val d'Ossola wine was also excellent, and to finish, the Catalan cream with figs and a truly special hazelnut and zabaglione cake! I'll conclude by saying that kindness is a must! 10 out of 10! Stefano. Eleonora.

03/09/2025: We dined at Ristorante Flizzi di Staffa in Macugnaga and it was a memorable experience. Kudos to the chef for his excellent dishes made with the highest-quality ingredients, to the waitress for her attentiveness and professionalism, and to the owner, a great wine connoisseur, who welcomed us warmly and spent time with us after dinner. Impeccable service, a refined atmosphere, and unforgettable dishes. It's a shame we only discovered it on the last day of our vacation: we would have loved to try the entire menu!

15/09/2025: A great place to eat and drink. Locally sourced meat,wines and cheeses. Worth the drive up from the lake.

06/07/2025: Definitely a nice reliable place with home cooking that does not disappoint. We will return

21/09/2025: Great food and family atmosphere

20/09/2025: Hidden away in the tiny hamlet of Stropino. The restaurant's unusual name derives from local umbrella makers' slang, apparently. The quirkiness doesn't stop there. No written menu, Basil Fawlty-type "welcome." We were the only non-locals there, and glances from the regulars were initially suspicious, hostile even. We hadn't booked and had to wait on the naughty step. But if you can get past all that - and try to speak some Italian - then this is an authentic and very enjoyable dining experience: excellent value, good-quality wine by the carafe, everything home-made and local. And everyone was friendly by the time we left! Light years away from the tourist traps on the Borromean islands.
