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

10/06/2026: You can sit right by the water, the service is lovely, and both the mixed grilled fish platter and the fritto misto are excellent! It's very busy, but the friendly, multi-faceted staff works together seamlessly and has everything under control.

08/06/2026: It's more like a canteen than a restaurant (the inside). The service is assembly-line style. The food is really bland. We ordered lasagna and gnocchi, both dishes were tasteless; it's quite surprising that you couldn't even taste the cheese...

07/08/2026: Good home made pasta Had a fast lunch

07/08/2026: One of the restaurant's strong points is the owner, who is truly kind and welcoming. The dishes are refined, truly excellent, and beautifully presented. The price, considering the location, the setting, and the food served, is truly excellent.

08/08/2026: Kid-friendly. Very welcoming. And above all, the food was excellent (pizza, gnocchi, lasagna).

07/08/2026: Simply the BEST restaurant in Stresa!!! The pizzas are excellent, the fried fish is excellent, the tiramisu is yummy, and the family welcome is excellent!!! You can also get takeaway pizzas; they'll cut your pizza for you without any trouble.

02/05/2026: I honestly think the restaurant has all the makings of one of the most charming and professional establishments on Isola Superiore, as well as in the entire Borromean Islands area. However, while the staff is prompt, extremely professional, and quick in serving guests, I believe that when the place is crowded, it feels the inevitable emotional pressure caused by the accumulation of requests for food and drink. Unfortunately, during my stay with my partner on May 2, 2026, I didn't have the opportunity to dine at "La Rondine" due to a misunderstanding that could easily be resolved. Nevertheless, I can say that, as a former professional (with many years of experience) in the restaurant service industry, I really empathized with the waiters, especially the affable and lively young man with sunglasses and a long beard. Although I offered to come back in about 40 minutes to try and find a table, he abruptly interrupted our conversation and (rightly) went back to serving customers. Although I intended to return, as I promised, I faced my partner's disapproval over the incident and immediately agreed to return to Stresa. That said, I hope this review can be a positive starting point for improving an already excellent table service. I recommend investing in mindfulness and emotional intelligence courses for staff, so they can experience customer service in a pleasant and rewarding way.

23/04/2026: Spectacular restaurant location overlooking the water on the beautiful island of Pescatori / Stresa and the food quality and variety excellent! Enjoyed the veal and grilled vegetables with vino blanca, iced in a pasta can! Check out their store that has family-owned FABULOUS olive oils, balsamic, spices and more. Sarah speaks awesome English and her knowledge and attitude matches. I actually made a video as I was so impressed ❤️🇮🇹

12/08/2026: I've read mixed reviews for this restaurant. We stopped for lunch, and all the first courses were good. The tagliolini were especially good, but also the risotto and tortelli. Very friendly staff.

28/07/2026: The restaurant is located in the small square between the historic streets, and the exterior is very pleasant. The service is attentive and fast (sometimes too fast). The food is nothing special, and the menu is a bit touristy with standard dishes. The flan was fresh from the microwave and a bit mushy, while the agnolotti were too many and ultimately disgusting. I expected more from a restaurant.

12/07/2026: Excellent restaurant, I went once to try it, and a second time to confirm that it's perfect. The food was superb, and the service impeccable, provided by a smiling, friendly, and efficient team of young people. One small drawback: the woman at the reception ignored us; perhaps she has a problem with the French!

11/07/2026: This was an unfortunate dining experience. We saw they had a pistachio tiramisu on the menu and wanted to stop in for dessert one night on holiday to celebrate a birthday. We asked if we could order it for take away, and they said no. We said no worries, then could we sit for a quick dessert. They didn’t like the size of our group, and told us no to service. So we said okay, we will come back another day to try it. We then came back at lunch time, and zero people were in the entire restaurant. We sat and then ordered, and when they saw it was just dessert, they said oh no you have to leave. When we explained they literally said to come back in a smaller group for dining in, they said “fine” after asking for approval. We ordered to desserts and two glasses of wine to share for four people and it came out to 50 euros! They charged us 16 euros for service (4 per person), after already rudely not wanting to serve us. And we had to still go up to pay the bill… they didn’t even come to our table. Really silly and rude to charge 16 euros in service to bring two pre-made desserts (that weren’t excellent by the way) after already not wanting us to be there… really, when your restaurant is empty, you should be kind to patrons who are just trying to celebrate a birthday and asking for a quick dessert. I would choose somewhere more kind and less pricy for the quality. The price wasn’t worth the attitude and quality of the food - it was a rip off compared to other places.

23/12/2025: The view - stunning! Food was Ok.

16/12/2025: A breathtaking view while you eat their delicacies. I highly recommend it.

22/07/2026: The best tiramisu I've ever eaten 😍😍😍😍🤫😘😘 also the food, service and good atmosphere 😍100%

21/07/2026: A small restaurant in the city center specializing in seafood, offering both tasting menus and à la carte options. The atmosphere is modern and comfortable. The dishes are simply presented, but the quality of the ingredients is excellent. The wine list is adequate. The service is professional and discreet. A visit is highly recommended.

16/08/2026: 5 stars require perfection, but 4 stars for the quality/price/location/service ratio. See you next time.

13/08/2026: Absolutely beautiful location, perfect if you're doing the island tour and want lunch - the food is delicious too 🍅🐠

08/08/2026: Delicious food at a very nice spot. Friendly staff!

07/08/2026: Very nice food, nice waiters as well. Lovely place to be. Would definitely visit again.

07/08/2026: Food is ok service very good Steak was good the fish sauce was not good I lost the photos I took mix salads amd steak and branzino

03/08/2026: The service and the atmosphere were perfectly fine – not exceptionally friendly or anything, but it was adequate. However, the vegan food there was unfortunately really bad. The vegan soup tasted like a simple tomato sauce that, for some reason, was also very acidic. And since the food is quite important when eating out, I unfortunately can't recommend this restaurant. There are definitely better places for vegans in the area.

12/08/2026: The food was absolutely delicious! It tasted fantastic, they were very accommodating with dietary restrictions and offered alternatives, and the service was top-notch! Very friendly and attentive. Plus, it's right in the city center, so you're in the heart of the action. Definitely worth a visit!

03/08/2026: I was surprised to see this restaurant has only 4.3 stars on Google. It’s our third day in Stresa, and this has been by far the best restaurant we’ve tried. The staff are genuinely warm and welcoming, unlike some of the nearby restaurants we visited. The risotto was absolutely delicious, and our kids loved the pasta al ragù—they finished every bite!

16/07/2026: I ate in this restaurant for the first time and in my opinion the price does not justify the quantity of products.

13/07/2026: The waiters at the bar bellow the restaurant are really pleasant.

05/11/2025: True hospitality in a small hotel with a big heart. Just 2 km from Stresa, it has parking and a private beach, excellently soundproofed rooms, and a breakfast buffet with homemade pastries, cured meats and cheeses, and freshly cooked eggs. The staff are friendly and professional, both in their welcome, room cleaning, and breakfast service. Congratulations, we'll be back!

09/10/2025: Large room, large bathroom, and large balcony. Clean. Good breakfast buffet. A bit noisy on weekdays, right on the street. Parking is available across the street. Staff and manager are friendly and accommodating. They always try to accommodate. Approximately 2 km to Stresa, not recommended for walking. No continuous sidewalk. Part of the way is on the street.

20/08/2026: Lovely quiet restaurant instead of all the hustle and bustle in the city center. Good food, friendly service.

17/08/2026: I was out for dinner. It's incredibly hot inside, but mosquitoes are eating you outside! I asked them if they had anything to keep mosquitoes away. They said, "Nothing!"
