I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Stresa della Verbano-cusio-ossola

09/08/2025: Impeccable service and amazing food, they even give a limoncello shot in the end. I'd suggest the mix of grilled fish.

09/08/2025: Everything was delicious! I was there in March 2025 with friends. I'll gladly return. I want to mention the kindness of the staff. I have one regret: there was an amazing lasagna that I didn't order. I regret it. Don't make the same mistake I did!

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

27/08/2025: We came here for the Neapolitan pizzas, and it was wonderful. The service was very friendly, and the food was extremely delicious. We had pizza, lasagna, and spaghetti. Everything was homemade. Highly recommended.

27/08/2025: A very quaint place, with fast and very friendly staff and excellent food (I recommend the Neapolitan pizza, the fried food, and the Spritz). I've been to Stresa twice and eaten here twice; it's best to make a reservation because it gets very busy.

30/08/2025: Very good dinner. Fast and friendly service, excellent risotto, all for a very reasonable price.

30/08/2025: Charming restaurant with simple and very good Italian dishes. Beer tiramisu: surprising but good!

04/09/2025: La botte Stresa, a refined and stylish place, small and welcoming, the owner Matilde is always sunny, the staff and dining room are well-trained, the cuisine is delicious and will make you lose your mind.

26/08/2025: Very disappointing for a Michelin-starred restaurant Very ordinary charcuterie starter The main courses were okay Stale cookie dessert I would not recommend

02/08/2025: We ate on the terrace, so the atmosphere was very nice. But the interior didn't seem very refined. The portions were very small and the prices were way too high. The staff were friendly, but they asked us several times if we wanted dessert, and it seemed like we needed to vacate the table as soon as possible. Other customers got up to ask for water. Others showed up at 8:15 with an 8:00 reservation, and their table had already been taken. They don't deserve a Michelin recommendation.

02/08/2025: Overall a very nice find in Stresa, Italy. Went there for dinner as a couple. It’s a Michelin listed restaurant (2024 and 2025). The food was quite nice though I wouldn’t say all the dishes were exceptional. The flan was very nice as was the seafood pasta. I would definitely recommend having a meal there once if you like authentic Italian fare. Prices were very reasonable as well.

29/06/2025: Unfortunately, a cloud of dust hung over the mountains the entire day, so the mountains couldn't show off their beautiful beauty. The hotel is a lovingly run family business. Rekardo, who spoke good German, helped us a lot, e.g., (helped us jump-start our motorcycle), explained things, and gave us tips. A great hotel team. Thank you for the lovely, full breakfast.

29/06/2025: Very friendly manager and staff. The breakfast buffet was definitely worth the money. Our corner room had a somewhat small bathroom with a bathtub. Everything seemed newly renovated, and we had a small balcony with a lake view. Right on the street. Unfortunately, the street noise was a bit loud at peak times. But nothing that wouldn't stop us from booking again. Very animal-friendly. Our small dog was very welcome, even on the pebble beach. Water shoes are recommended. Sunbeds with umbrellas and towels were free. The town of Stresa was about 3 km away. Easily accessible on foot along the road. Not advisable due to the narrow streets. We recommend this small, friendly hotel. The price-performance ratio is excellent. Several German TV channels and free Wi-Fi (only available in the hotel)

28/08/2025: Excellent food and friendly staff. Recommended for tourists.

28/08/2025: Wonderful restaurant, kind and prepared staff, I will gladly return again, quality and good food, I thank the staff for their kindness and availability

03/08/2025: Warm welcome, attentive and fast service. Beautiful view of the lake. We ate fish. It was very good and well cooked. Bravo and thank you!

03/08/2025: The best restaurant for dinner on the island. Absolutely excellent value for money. Friendly and prompt service. The food was delicious, authentic Italian and beautifully presented. The terrace is shady and offers a lake view. Highly recommended.

22/08/2025: If you're looking for an excellent seafood restaurant in Stresa, Il Clandestino is a must-visit! The ingredients are top quality and the fish is incredibly fresh. We started with the yellowtail sashimi with Pantelleria capers and sea fennel, a true dive into the sea: the aromas alone take you to the shore, and the taste is simply outstanding. The other dishes maintained the same high standard of freshness and skill from the chef. For dessert, an exceptional tiramisu. The chef is the true captain of the restaurant, expertly guiding both the kitchen and the dining room. Prices are slightly on the high side but completely in line with the quality offered. Highly recommended! If you are looking for an excellent fish restaurant in Stresa, Il Clandestino is a must! The raw materials are of the highest quality and the fish extremely fresh. The first course, amberjack sashimi with Pantelleria capers and sea fennel, was a true dive into the sea: the aromas recall the shore, and the flavor was simply excellent. The other courses also confirmed the same standard of freshness and the chef's skill. To conclude, an exceptional tiramisu. The chef is the true captain of the restaurant, masterfully guiding both the kitchen and the dining room. Prices are slightly high, but absolutely in line with the quality offered. Highly recommended!

22/08/2025: Very rude and mean. Do yourself a favor, do not dine here. There were plenty of restaurants out there that you would get much better food and SERVICES.

09/09/2025: Unfortunately, the tip was very disappointing. We only got dry bread, no oil, and no pepper or salt. The grilled vegetables were completely unseasoned, and the fries had no sauce. My fish also came without sauce, even though the menu said otherwise. The staff were rather bored and not particularly friendly. I can't recommend this restaurant, and we came here specifically for this. Sorry!

07/09/2025: Excellent risotto and quite pleasant atmosphere.

29/08/2025: Here, the gap is wide between expectations and reality. Price and performance are completely out of proportion. The food was good, but since I didn't want anchovies, beetroot, or gorgonzola in my meal, I opted for a "salad": one mozzarella, three red tomatoes, and three yellow cherry tomatoes for a reasonable €18. I wouldn't call that a salad. The "boss" was running around with a face in his face. One waiter smelled of sweat. The toilets were so-so. The flush didn't work reliably. The soap was empty. That was the most expensive evening, but we've had better, more affordable (not cheaper) meals and enjoyed the evening with excellent service.

25/08/2025: I noticed that the review of August 15, 2025, has not been published....why!!!!

16/07/2025: A sophisticated cuisine, don't hesitate to mix and match your dish; the condiments and sauces are refined. The staff is very attentive and quick to resolve any minor incident. Piedmontese dishes and refined cuisine.

29/06/2025: In the silence of a kitchen an emotion is born Making a dish is not just cooking. It is an ancient, silent ritual that begins long before the fire. It begins when you choose the ingredients as if you were choosing the right words to say "I love you" without speaking. Every gesture has a meaning: the hands that wash, cut, knead, do not just put order among the aromas, but tell a story. A story that smells of home, of memories, of people who perhaps are no longer here, but who return, even if only for a moment, in the scent of the sauce that simmers slowly. There is attention to every detail. In the salt that must not cover, but enhance. In the waiting time, which is never wasted time. In the dish there is the care we have for those who will eat it. It is a form of love that asks for nothing in return. And when you finally serve it, that dish speaks. It says "I'm here", "I thought of you", "I care". Even if no one says it out loud. Cooking like this, with the heart, is a sacred act. It is laying bare a piece of your soul on a white plate. It is giving emotion. And those who taste it, even without knowing it, notice it. Well done!
