I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Vercelli

08/03/2026: I was looking for a place to eat Piedmontese-style fritto misto in Valsesia, and we found this place really lovely. The atmosphere must be wonderful in the summer; we can't wait to go back. The fritto misto was delicious, light, and flavorful. The portion was just right; you just had to ask for seconds. It was a truly wonderful discovery.

07/02/2026: We know the restaurants around Lake Orta well; many are great, but La Topia is truly exceptional – highly recommended!

03/01/2026: A truly delicious lunch! As soon as you enter, you're greeted by a refined and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the food is excellent. It's the perfect place to sample traditional Piedmontese dishes made with high-quality ingredients. I'll definitely be back!

31/12/2025: Our favorite for special occasions. The service is always a wonderful memory, and the food is always amazing.

08/03/2026: I discovered Osteria di Balocco by chance while searching for restaurants in the Vercelli area. Once again, I had to book two weeks in advance to secure a table at this restaurant, which overlooks the castle square in Balocco, a town we were discovering for the first time (despite the name coming to mind every time we drove along the Milan-Turin highway) and which offered us some unexpected views. The restaurant is small and welcoming, and inside, we find ourselves admiring a flaming red racing motorbike. As soon as we recover from this unexpected encounter, we enter two small rooms surrounded by some of the most interesting local and international bottles. The owner, a true joker, welcomes us warmly, and the staff is attentive. From the menu, we choose puff pastry strudel with cotechino, cabbage, and toma cheese for me, and game pâté with fruit compote and raisin bread for Watson as appetizers. Braised beef agnolotti with roast beef reduction for Watson and panissa for me were our first course. Desserts included compote strudel and tiramisu. At this point, you might be wondering why the second courses aren't listed. Well, that's because the owner, Mr. Carlo, is, as mentioned, a joker, but also a great host. In fact, when he was taking our orders, he told us to wait to order the second courses because we might not feel like it when we finished. To support his point, he thought it best to add to our delicious appetizers a charcuterie board with salami della duja, lard, prosciutto, coppa... Not content with that, when I decided to choose tiramisu over a dessert with amaretti biscuits, cream, etc., he decided to add this delicacy to our desserts as well. The amaretti biscuits, which I thought were too hard, turned out to be incredibly soft and blended seamlessly with the cream: fantastic. If the desserts are accompanied by a Passito di Pantelleria offered on the house, you can easily understand why this restaurant's diners are regulars. We follow each bite of this wonderful dinner with a sip of Paride Iaretti's 2018 Gattinara Riserva and mineral water. We finish with two coffees, which here are served with dry pastries. I don't know if you'll want to try this wonderful place, but I know for sure I'll be back. For two, we spent €140.

20/02/2026: A very nice place, well-decorated, with well-spaced tables. The dishes are well-prepared and the ingredients are top-quality, but for a midweek lunch break, you'd expect even more.

16/03/2026: Osteria del Vecchio Asilo is a wonderful restaurant with authentic Piedmontese cuisine. The dishes are fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. And with Fabio in the kitchen, they have a passionate chef. I highly recommend it.

07/03/2026: Perfect Christmas lunch!!! Every time I come back, it's a confirmation: excellent value for money.

25/01/2026: "A perfect place to escape the rain." This is what I thought when a few days ago, on a gloomy day, I entered Franz's with my wife, my son, and our respective parents. The consistently warm welcome from the dining room staff is something that puts you at ease; we've been to many restaurants, and that's not a given. Then, even the first bite of what you taste is enough to "forget about the rain" and smile. I don't have photos to show in this review, because photographing the dishes is depriving yourself of the experience; those dishes that are prepared with care, served with grace, and enjoyed with gratitude. It wasn't the first time we've been to Franz's; in fact, we're now regulars at this wonderful place. Why leave a review now, you might ask? Well, because every time feels like the first, yet it's better than the last. So I couldn't help but write this thought. Do yourself a favor: go to Franz's! I borrow a few words from Cesare Pavese: "A town means not being alone, knowing that in the people, in the plants, in the land there is something of yours, that even when you're not there, it remains waiting for you." That town is Formigliana. And it is so because Franz is there.

06/01/2026: For those who want to enjoy divine fish, there's a choice of top-quality raw and cooked fish. The staff is attentive to every diner's need, and the owner is extremely knowledgeable in recommending dishes and wine pairings. If one or more of your guests want meat, just let them know a few days in advance and the owner will make sure it's catered to! What can I say? Truly exceptional! The prices are in line with high expectations, not at all excessive. Compliments to the entire staff!

18/02/2026: We went for dinner one evening during Carnival. The restaurant is right in the center, quite nice, and doesn't have a lot of seating, which is certainly a plus. The service was friendly and very quick. We had excellent ravioli alla carbonara, superb cod in oil (a slightly small portion for the price), venison stew with polenta that could be improved, a bit tough and fatty, then the phenomenal Basque cheesecake and tiramisu. Prices were in line with other similarly sized restaurants in Alagna.

31/01/2026: Traditional dishes with a modern twist; high-quality ingredients prepared with skill and respect. Excellent wines. Friendly and courteous service. In summer, dining on the veranda is a lovely experience.

09/02/2026: A DREAM place!!! We had an unforgettable weekend, it touches you inside... Impeccable service, extremely clean, and what can I say about the restaurant? OUTSTANDING!!! I'll definitely be back, rest assured!!! The emotion, or rather, the tears, when we left says it all... You are UNIQUE!!!

29/01/2026: We always come to this wonderful restaurant every year for our anniversary, and every year when I call I always get a seat saved in front of the fireplace. It's a really well-kept restaurant, down to the smallest details. The menu is really very interesting, with just a few items but all very good. The meat is very fresh, as they have their own butcher's shop. The staff is very well-prepared and very very kind. If I could, I would give it 10 stars.

01/03/2026: Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff Various and excellent dishes Welcoming atmosphere. You deserve a solid 5-star rating.

28/02/2026: I hate to repeat it, but always a guarantee... .

21/02/2026: A very good little restaurant on Vercelli's main avenue. Homemade cuisine and attentive service. Special mention for the Siena-style filet mignon.

17/02/2026: Welcoming atmosphere, excellent food and friendly staff.

17/02/2026: We booked for Carnival, a group of 30 campers... everything was perfect: food, pastries, hospitality, and the utmost attention. Finally, no one left unsatisfied... and that's not easy with so many. We had such a great time that we returned two days later, with a small group of eight, who stayed to see the carnival at night. Kudos to the managers and staff.

16/02/2026: Well... the food is always amazing! The welcome is always top-notch! And this time, even the fireplace was lit!!! What a treat!!!

26/01/2026: It's a charming place because it's kept the same as it was a few years ago. Excellent food in a relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. The best panissa!

15/02/2026: The absolute reference restaurant for risotto Paolo Cornalba

04/02/2026: If you're a risotto lover (and not only), you're in the right place. I'd dare to call it the best risotto restaurant in Italy. Highly recommended!

01/02/2026: Absolutely fantastic. The food was amazing and the girls were lovely. Everyone is so smiley it’s so refreshing!!! We had polenta and it was delicious. I’d recommend the sausage one but also the spezzatino was 10/10!! Well done I will love to go back

07/02/2026: They're incredibly kind; even though we were super late, they seated us right away and served us in less than 10 minutes. Friendly, polite, and highly recommended. Every time we pass by, we always stop there for an aperitif or a meal. The quality of the food is always excellent, and their kindness is a huge plus.
