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

03/10/2025: Fantastic evening, beautiful food, delicate flavours, beautifully presented, service was amazing and Annelisa was a fountain of knowledge and an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend.

25/09/2025: One of the best restaurants in the area. 10/10 would recommend. Also, the two women who were serving at the time were two of the best servers I’ve ever had. Literally the sweetest women ever. If I’m back in the area, I will be stopping by

13/09/2025: I returned after years and didn't regret it. As always, everything was excellent; I highly recommend it. A very relaxed atmosphere with delicious food at fair prices. The only drawback: there are only two restrooms, which isn't enough for the size of the place.

10/09/2025: Fast, friendly, large yet cozy. Unique, but definitely recommended!

15/09/2025: Elegant venue with a hint of rusticity. Impeccable service and superb food...I'd go back in a heartbeat. The rooms were also very beautiful and the breakfast was superb!!! I celebrated my birthday wonderfully.

30/08/2025: Beautiful restaurant with excellent food and service.

28/09/2025: Wow! I rarely give 5 stars, but this place truly enchanted us. The location is warm and welcoming. The staff is kind, helpful, and super professional. We had two appetizers, two main courses, and a dessert, along with wine and water. The portions were adequate and the prices fair. The food was excellent, showcasing local products. Highly recommended!!! PS: If I may recommend something... I would have liked some honey on the cured meats and cheese platter.

26/09/2025: Welcoming place, attentive staff, and fast service. The menu is rather limited, but in my opinion, that's a good thing because the dishes are expertly prepared. Personally, I can say that the Fassona steak is one of the best cuts I've ever eaten: crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Truly delicious! I'll have to come back to try the desserts.

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.

26/09/2025: Well done, because making your guests feel at ease is a great thing. The dishes were excellent!

21/09/2025: Very good service, lots of knowledge with cœliac problem. Your can eat without stress and the food is good. I loved the gluten free Tiramisu as well. Wonderful owner! Florie

29/08/2025: risotto and ossobuco perfectly cooked, love the dish, thank you chef🙏

27/08/2025: A great time spent by the lake with friendly service and simple, good food

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

01/06/2025: Elegant family atmosphere, excellent service, high quality food. If it were possible, I would give one more star.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

03/09/2025: I didn't stay, but my rating is based on the friendliness, service, and food, which I particularly appreciated for its quality and quantity. It was a pleasant stay in the company of the very courteous owners.

02/09/2025: A simple place, like those of yesteryear. Friendly and attentive staff. Dishes are carefully prepared with high-quality, abundant ingredients. Reasonable prices. I recommend it.

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

20/09/2025: Perfect welcome, the owner speaks French. Generous and excellent dishes.

06/09/2025: The service and ambiance in the courtyard were absolutely fantastic. The food was also very good. The Parmigiana di Melanzane was even outstanding!
