I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Novara

06/02/2026: Mariolino SUPERSTAR!!!!!! Paolo Cornalba

31/01/2026: High-quality local products are revisited in a simple yet creative way. The excellent wine list features a special focus on wines from the Upper Piedmont region. The dining room staff is friendly and very helpful!

21/12/2025: A superb experience in a stunning location. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the cuisine is truly delicious, featuring traditional yet elevated flavors, like the bunet (a pasta dish) prepared (almost!) like our great-grandmother used to make. The tagliolini with truffle won over most of the guests. Homemade pasta, prepared and cooked to perfection, and a generous helping of delicious truffle. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back.

23/11/2025: Excellent products, good value for money. Recommended

23/12/2025: Welcoming place. Very good food. Excellent value for money.

24/11/2025: Delicious food, from appetizer to dessert, a succession of excellent dishes. Highly recommended ☺️

01/10/2025: Delicious pizza I was with my partner and my son I ate two pizzas... Very friendly staff I recommend everyone to go and eat pizza there

17/08/2025: Good pizzas and good price, lots of variety.

29/06/2025: Dining at Olina was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that made us feel instantly comfortable. The service was outstanding — friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. The menu offered a fantastic selection of dishes, and every plate we tried was a masterpiece. Fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and beautiful presentation made the meal truly unforgettable. The [insert favorite dish] was a standout! Olina Restaurant is a gem — perfect for a special occasion or simply enjoying a high-quality meal. We left happy, full, and already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

13/06/2025: Here, the food is still cooked by hand with a lot of imagination. The prices are fair and absolutely reasonable. I had tortellini filled with pumpkin amatetto filling. My wife had catfish dumplings with polenta. The starter, perch fillet with dried zucchini, was free... Also free were the looks on the faces of the Germans who expected something different on their plates.

19/10/2025: Mediocre food, service that would be better without it. The atmosphere? Indoors, with birds eating with you. Unfortunately, being the only restaurant in the area allows them to treat customers however they want. I won't return, nor will I recommend it. Unfortunately, 0 doesn't exist, because otherwise, it would be the rating that best reflects the restaurant.

13/10/2025: I booked at Ristorante San Giulio for my mom's birthday, and I have to say we were thrilled! The menu was excellent, every dish delicious and meticulously crafted; the cake we commissioned was delicious and stunning; our table was on the covered terrace overlooking the lake; and the very kind, attentive, and professional staff made this a truly wonderful experience. Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back!

07/01/2026: Family lunch with a pre-arranged set menu, very disappointing. The appetizer consisted of low-quality cured meats and little else. Everything was freezing cold straight out of the fridge. The risotto was the only dish that was adequate. The main course was cold and rubbery and tasted only of microwave. I was hoping to finish with Pinin's famous dessert, featuring gelato and various toppings, but this was also a disappointment: industrial-strength gelato full of ice cubes and frozen fruit. All this in a freezing cold dining room, despite being fully booked. Never again!

21/12/2025: I've been back after a few years, and it's always a pleasure... excellent cuisine with a good selection of dishes on the menu. Good service with almost no wait times. Comfortable and spacious atmosphere.

25/12/2025: Informal service but no less attentive to detail... how to describe their piñata?!?! INCREDIBLE

19/12/2025: Since 1986, Il Rapanello Restaurant has been a favorite for those who love seafood cuisine with a lake view. The atmosphere is intimate and charming, particularly pleasant in the summer with outdoor seating just steps from the water. The menu focuses on fresh seafood and offers classic and sophisticated dishes, such as the famous "Pinataccia" (a type of stew) or excellent risottos. The service is generally friendly and professional, and the quality of the ingredients is evident. Some reviews point to differences in the service or the presentation of special dishes, but overall the experience remains pleasant and the quality/price ratio is considered fair by many. Recommended for a romantic dinner or a lakeside lunch with friends or family.

19/11/2025: The hotel has a great location by the lake, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They're very fond of children and dogs. Our dog was allowed everywhere in the hotel. The small green area by the gravel parking lot is lovely for watching the sunset in the evening. However: the food is way too expensive. The portions are so tiny. €15 for spaghetti with tomato sauce and burrata cheese, and then you get such an incredibly small portion. My partner's meal wasn't much bigger, but it was even more expensive. There are stairs everywhere, which makes it very difficult with a stroller, especially if you want to go to breakfast. Not every baby can sit in the IKEA car seat they offer for that long. Of course, you could leave the stroller in the room, but that's really inconvenient for very young children. Breakfast is the same every single day. And I mean exactly the same. Two or three types of cold cuts, two or three types of cheese, two types of rolls and toast... and the coffee wasn't exactly the best. A shame for Italy... Unfortunately, the dishes were often dirty and the scrambled eggs were often cold. The Wi-Fi in the room was very poor. Streaming was impossible. Which isn't exactly normal in 2022. Not everyone watches ZDF and ARD. The rooms were also very noisy. We prayed every night that our baby wouldn't cry for the sake of the other guests. Luckily, it didn't. Cleanliness was good, so we can't complain about that. The fold-out bed in the room was loose. We only noticed because something fell off and we had to open it. I wouldn't want to sleep on it; it would definitely tip over. Generally, quite a few things were worn or had defects. Regarding the location: if you want to go into town, you have to walk about 200 meters along the road because there's no sidewalk. There is a small strip of grass, but it's no help with a stroller. For cyclists, however, the hotel is a great starting point for a ride around the lake or other routes. ... If you're traveling without a baby and a dog, you can find a few days of peace and quiet at this hotel. Unfortunately, it wasn't for us.

30/10/2025: This hotel is perfect. The staff is lovely. The restaurant is really very good and child-friendly (children's menus and high chairs). Ideal location.

15/01/2026: Top-notch food, excellent. Parking available. Reservations recommended.

05/01/2026: Excellent pizza and excellent dishes, even the fish-based first courses.

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.

05/01/2026: Wonderful atmosphere, especially on the lakeside veranda. The view is breathtaking!!! Friendly, competent, knowledgeable, and friendly service. 🙂 Well-presented and varied menu. We recommend it!

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.

16/11/2025: Charming Italian hotel near Stresa, right by the lake. We had a short but sweet stay last September—relaxing, peaceful, and full of lovely views. Definitely left us wanting to return!

11/10/2025: A unique place on the shores of Lago Maggiore. We had a family room on 2 floors with a view of the lake. Regretted that we only had one night

11/01/2026: The place is nice, the coffee is good, the pastry shop is good, let alone the poor table service on a Sunday morning with only a few people inside

07/01/2026: Interesting aperitif, delicious food in the heart of Novara's city center Paolo Cornalba

03/01/2026: Found at the recommendation of my landlord, this restaurant was a delicious discovery. The food, location, and service were all excellent. Recommended for pizza lovers and seafood alike. Almost all the desserts are homemade.

01/01/2026: This was my first time there. The staff were very helpful and courteous. The place was clean and welcoming. It's definitely close to 5 stars.
