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

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.

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

13/10/2025: Thank you so much to Omar and Cheikh, who were so kind and cheerful! We stopped by just for a birthday cake for our little girl, and the cakes were delicious! The view was beautiful 💓

24/09/2025: Very stale and poor quality bread served at the start of the meal. Gnocchi was mushy and flavourless. Ragù over salted with clashing flavours, tasted more like tuna. Duck was rubbery and underspiced. Beef fillet was bland. Cheesecake was not cheesecake, rather it was a block of jelly-textured white chocolate - very sickly. Brownies (served with the “cheesecake”) were stale and hard. Good pina colada. Service good, though nobody to direct you to the dining area with an entirely abandoned ground floor that you have to navigate. Cold and clinical atmosphere (inside), though clean with basic decorations. All for a bill of 120 euros for 2 people (total 2 primo piati, 2 secundi piati, and 1 shared dessert. 1 beer and 1 pina colada as for drinks). Absolutely underwhelming experience.

08/10/2025: Terrific food. Expert advice on wines. Reasonable price. Loved it.

27/09/2025: Once again, a great evening in this cozy little establishment. Varied menu, excellent pizzas, reasonable prices for Stresa, in short, a success... Often full, even the heated terrace at the moment, so book so you don't have to look elsewhere.

06/10/2025: Brilliant chef creating magical dishes! Try one of the set menus and be amazed! Staff helpful and very engaging chef.

01/10/2025: What can I say? Everything was super good, the place was welcoming and the service excellent, but the most admirable thing is the chef who comes out to explain the dish to you 😍

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.

14/10/2025: Everything was excellent and the kindness of the staff made for a wonderful evening.

12/10/2025: Excellent seafood dishes and a wide selection of select wines. Fresh fish, caught by the Ruffoni brothers.

11/10/2025: I celebrated my birthday a few days ago at this restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect, with soft background music and no noise, perfect for a romantic or relaxing evening. The food was excellent, and the staff was extremely kind and attentive to every detail. Thank you for making my evening so enjoyable.

23/09/2025: Disappointing experience - where do we even begin! Asked for still water, got a bottle of fizzy water of the brand “Bolle Stille” (€4). We thought it wasn’t a big deal if the food was ok. Ordered a red prawn carpaccio (€24) as starter, and 2 pastas. Carpaccio was flavourless but smells very fishy (and we’re no stranger to seafood / sashimi / sushi). The 2 pastas (smoked trout €22, vongole €25) were so salty you’d need a kidney dialysis if you finish the whole thing. We kept having bread to cleanse our palate. Pastas were not freshly made. Price is astonishingly disproportionate to the poor quality of food. Finally, I might overlook the fact that the antipasti was served at the same time as the 2 pastas if they didn’t charge €4 each for service.
