I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Verbano-cusio-ossola

10/11/2025: Great experience, the girl in the dining room was very kind, the food was exceptional

09/11/2025: Thank you again to this restaurant for their delicious food and excellent service. We arrived late without a reservation and still managed to get a table on the terrace to enjoy the last rays of sunshine. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The portions were very generous, with complimentary amuse-bouches for the starter and canelés for dessert. The canelés were particularly good. The waitress also spoke excellent French. I highly recommend it!! 🥳

02/11/2025: After two years, we came back to eat here again, and everything was perfect as always 🤗. It's always a pleasure to return. We ordered the tasting menu, a truly wonderful experience 🙏. For a fine-dining restaurant, the portions were very generous, which isn't always the case. A huge compliment on the amazing coconut dessert. Simply wow 😱🥰.

29/10/2025: La Stella is one of those places you'll always want to return to. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, the staff is kind and attentive, and every dish exudes passion and quality. The ingredients are fresh and beautifully presented, and you can sense the attention to every detail, from service to presentation. An ideal place to indulge in a tasty and relaxing break—perfect for a romantic dinner or a special lunch.

10/11/2025: I’ve traveled all across Italy, and this place is easily in my top 3 restaurants. The risotto was the best I’ve ever had, and the pastas were truly unique and full of flavor. I’d come back to Italy just for this restaurant!

09/11/2025: Excellent cuisine, great service and a beautiful view of the lake.

02/11/2025: Everything was very good and beautiful. Top service. I had a really good time and ate very well.

02/11/2025: Everything was perfect! The quality and quantity of the dishes, the kindness and professionalism of the staff, and the very peaceful atmosphere in the dining room create the perfect mix for relaxing and pampering.

13/10/2025: A delightful lakeside restaurant offering both freshwater fish and a variety of vegan options. It's hard to find a restaurant on this island that isn't a tourist trap, and this was a wonderful discovery! Reservations are required, well in advance.

08/10/2025: Standing on that terrace overlooking Lake Maggiore feels like you're on the bow of a ship. Few dishes, as befits an osteria, but all well-prepared and made with quality ingredients.

15/11/2025: The attention paid to celiacs is truly admirable; almost the entire menu is available gluten-free, and the quality is truly excellent. The mixed fried fish is light and crispy, accompanied by unique and tasty sauces. Generous portions, with several interesting off-menu options also suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Very friendly and helpful staff, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Fair prices! A great find, we'll definitely be back!

01/11/2025: 🐓 La Gallina che Fuma – where the heart meets flavor There are places you don't just visit: you live them, you breathe them, you remember them. La Gallina che Fuma is one of them. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted not by a simple tavern, but by a small universe of sincere smiles, human warmth, and that rare magic that only comes when those who cook do so with true love. Stefano, Francesca, and Marianna—kindred spirits, twins not only in blood but in passion—together with their entire staff, have created a place that smells of home and dreams. Each dish is a caress on the palate, a story that begins with tradition and intertwines with the creativity of experimentation. Ancient flavors are given new life, shine with modernity, and are transformed into experiences that remain etched like happy memories. The appetizers are promises kept, the first courses tell ancestral stories, the second courses are as moving as a poem spoken in a whisper, and the desserts... the desserts are the exclamation point of a sensory journey. Every single course is a work of art, a universe of emotions. The wine list is a compendium of excellence, chosen with the same care as selecting a note for a perfect symphony. But the true essence of La Gallina che Fuma isn't just in the dishes: it's in the people. In those smiling glances, in that passion you can feel in the air, in that kind and authentic way of making you feel an integral part of something beautiful... And this is a beautiful gift. Thank you. A place like this isn't just described: it's lived, loved, remembered. And when you leave, you already dream of returning...

10/11/2025: We had a very good meal. The terrace offers a beautiful and relaxed setting. The service was a little slow and the price is rather high compared to other restaurants on the island.

10/11/2025: Okay, but on the other hand, we waited over an hour for two pasta dishes. At that time of year, bring a sweater or jacket into the dining room.

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

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

03/12/2025: We went for pizza. The dough was really delicious. It's a shame they put the tomato sauce on it completely raw, as if it had just been taken out of the tin, and the mozzarella wasn't perfectly melted. If they'd put it on the ingredients before cooking, the pizza would have been fabulous. This resulted in an American-style pizza that ruined the flavor. I think they do it to save time, but it makes a negative difference. It's a shame. Furthermore, the breaded cutlet the child had was overcooked, almost burnt on one side and therefore dry. I expected much more from a historic restaurant. I don't think we'll come again.

26/11/2025: Great place, the pizzas are very good and the staff are super friendly. I'll be back next time. Thanks!

29/10/2025: I discovered it by chance while browsing restaurants in the Domodossola area on Google Maps, and in the end I decided not only to eat there but also to sleep there, and I must say it was the perfect choice. First and foremost, the helpfulness and hospitality of the staff. The lady who welcomed me made me feel at home right away and accommodated all my requests, even before I arrived. The hotel is rustic in style, housed in the rooms of an ancient palazzo in the small historic center of Vogogna. The furnishings are basic, but the rooms are very spacious and warm. It's wonderful to wake up in the morning to the sound of the bells of the nearby church and the mountains of the Ossola Valley. The price is incredibly affordable (€50/night in a single room + a croissant and cappuccino for breakfast). As for the restaurant, I was lucky enough to try it for dinner upon my arrival, and I must say the dishes were all delicious, from the marinated Fassona beef tartare with truffle mustard to the raviolini del plin with fondue and saffron sprouts—everything was exquisite and prepared without being pretentious. I really enjoyed the menu, featuring local specialties. Well done! The atmosphere is reminiscent of times gone by, with the typical warmth of a tavern. I highly recommend this place, both for the food and as an excellent stopover for nearby Domodossola and the foliage train. I'll be back. Thanks for everything.

20/10/2025: Restaurant in Vogogna, beneath the Visconti Castle. Fair prices, impeccable service, excellent food.

08/11/2025: If you want to eat, with a starred quality, a simple cuisine in our Piedmontese tradition, this is the address

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

23/10/2025: Absolutely delicious, every plate, every bite. Beautifully seasoned, phenomenal quality produce and the meal was fantastically paced. The chestnut gnocchetti was a stand-out amongst fantastic plates, 10/10 would recommend

09/10/2025: Sincere appreciation for the quality, variety, and deliciousness of the dishes offered. Even the lunch break, despite the limited time allowed by work, is very satisfying, and with a reservation, you can eat very quickly. Thank you.

18/10/2025: Beautiful place. Welcoming. On the hill. Service is a bit slow...just one person in a full room isn't good...excellent food and reasonable prices.

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...

09/10/2025: Perfect dinner, delicious food from the starter to the dessert. A truly excellent Piedmontese wine: Nebbiolo. Polite and kind. Our little dog was very well looked after. Thank you.

05/10/2025: Very nice place, helpful and kind staff, very good risotto, good value for money

26/10/2025: Soooo delicious. A chef who cooks with love and dedication. The service is very friendly and attentive. And affordable too. A must-try if you're in the area. Thank you for the lovely evening.

21/09/2025: Great food and family atmosphere
