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

02/11/2025: Amazing... truly... unique flavors... my compliments... The fried pork belly with its side dishes was truly something unique for me... Everything was truly exceptional. I had high expectations and they were far exceeded... I really recommend it and I hope to return soon. The saffron risotto with ossobuco was exceptional. But then be careful with everything... from the homemade felafel with red carrot cream offered by the restaurant while you wait, to the excellent bread and focaccia made by them. With the coffee they offered two desserts (just one coffee but there were two of us... so super sweet)... Thank you so much ❤️🙇🏼👍👌🥇🤙... everything was super at the right price 🙇🏼❤️🙇🏼🫶. I forgot about the dessert... what skill... a place I truly recommend with all my heart... I had a wonderful time. The girl in the dining room was also super kind and attentive... A truly sincere place in every way with extremely high quality ❤️. Trust me, it's truly SUPER 🙇🏼🥇👍❤️. I apologize to chef Massimiliano Celeste that I came to the restaurant without knowing what high cuisine I would find... forgive me 🙇🏼❤️. Truly an unforgettable dinner ❤️❤️❤️🥇🙇🏼

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

23/10/2025: We went last night with a little girl. We had a wonderful time, the waitress was very friendly and explained in detail all the gluten-free dishes (practically all of them). A paradise for anyone with a celiac disease, and also suitable for vegans (they had a selection of vegan cheeses). They also have a children's menu (gluten-free too!). We had gluten-free fried fish and fondue with GF potatoes/crostini. Thank you, because it's truly a blessing to find a place where celiac disease isn't a problem!

02/11/2025: Professional and friendly staff, excellent food, and a splendid location, whether you choose to eat by the lake or in the characteristic small rooms inside.

31/10/2025: The staff and managers are incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable! The cuisine is meticulously crafted, showcasing the finest ingredients and exquisite flavors! The location is stunning, whether inside the restaurant or overlooking the lake.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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
