I migliori ristoranti in Novara

21/10/2025: The restaurant is very good. The food is quality, and even though it may not seem like it, you'll be full, so it has two Bs: Beautiful and Good. The price seems a bit steep, although in Italy, good food isn't cheap. It costs more than €60 per person with a standard wine, which isn't cheap. It has its own parking lot. I'll be back.

21/10/2025: I'm vegan, and even when I call ahead and they tell me it's okay, I often find a few options, mostly banal ones (vegetable pasta and grilled vegetables). I ate here, from appetizer to dessert, and everything was delicious. I'll definitely be back! Fantastic staff.

08/10/2025: Superb pizza cooked in real wood oven. Not obvious that it's geared for takeaway, we had luck place was empty so we could eat there.

05/10/2025: Indescribably delicious♥️ Best pizza to go of my life We had Mia and Rustika—so very good

21/11/2025: The rooms are old, and the showers are not particularly pleasant, but considering the significance of staying in a historical building and having breakfast and dinner, the all-inclusive package was a good choice. Due to the schedule, I was only able to have dinner one day, but if possible, I would have liked to have dinner twice. The incredibly delicious breakfast is something to be had, and dinner goes without saying. Cannavacciolo was also very nice, and I became an even bigger fan.

19/11/2025: I came especially from England, where I've lived for over 12 years, to celebrate my birthday with my partner at Villa Crespi restaurant, and I can say it was an experience I'll cherish forever. We chose the "Nel Nome del Gusto" tasting menu with wine pairing, and from the first course, it was an extraordinary sensory journey: an explosion of colors, aromas, and flavors that captivated me. Some dishes even transported me back in time, to my beloved grandmother's kitchen—a sweet and intense memory that only high-quality cuisine, crafted with love, can provide. I'm not a food critic or a food influencer; I love cooking, but above all, I love eating well. And I can say with absolute certainty that the quality and freshness of the ingredients were more than evident. Every dish told a story, every bite exuded passion. The location is simply enchanting: the majestic Moorish-style villa overlooking Lake Orta seems like something out of a dream. Every architectural detail, from the Moorish arches to the decorated ceilings, contributes to creating a timeless atmosphere, where elegance and warmth coexist in perfect harmony. The rooms are intimate and refined, meticulously designed, and the garden surrounding the villa conveys a sense of tranquility and absolute beauty. It's a place that speaks to the soul even before the palate. The service was impeccable: the entire staff stood out for their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. I felt pampered, welcomed as if by a large family, but with the elegance and discretion that only a special place can offer. Unbeknownst to me, my partner had mentioned in the reservation that it was my birthday and that I'm a big fan of Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo. When they brought me a cake with a candle before dessert, I couldn't help but be moved. A simple yet meaningful gesture, which encapsulates the soul of Villa Crespi: attention, care, and love for the customer. The evening concluded with an unexpected and unforgettable encounter: I had the honor of meeting the Chef. I confess that the emotion was so strong it left me speechless—a true culinary Stendhal syndrome! I couldn't thank him as much as I would have liked, so I hope these words reach him and his wonderful team: thank you for making this experience a dream. Villa Crespi is like a perfect orchestra: each person plays their instrument with passion, and under the direction of a great Maestro, together they create a harmony that envelops and uplifts you. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat anywhere else with the same wonder.

09/11/2025: First experience at this restaurant, a fairytale location immersed in the Novara countryside. Excellent food and top-notch service. We'll definitely be back.

28/10/2025: We were there for a wedding and had a wonderful time, surrounded by greenery, with a buffet of seafood and meat appetizers, beautifully presented and of excellent quality. Lunch continued on the beautiful and well-maintained covered patio, where first and second courses were served. The evening ended in the farmhouse, where desserts, liqueurs, and chocolate fountains with fruit challenged our legs with all kinds of dancing.

20/10/2025: We had the cake made for our daughter's 18th birthday. It's lactose-free. A dark chocolate and salted caramel mousse. Covered as pictured. A delicious cake... A truly light cloud. Everyone loved it ❤️ The owners, besides being incredibly kind, know how to respect and offer the best advice on ideas...

10/10/2025: Everything was fine. Excellent cake, as expected. Thank you so much!

23/10/2025: An excellent experience at Brandosteria! A welcoming restaurant with meticulous attention to detail, featuring a splendid selection of Piedmontese wines and a menu full of interesting options, from appetizers to first and second courses—many of which are also available off-menu, a testament to the vibrant and creative cuisine. The service was impeccable: the waiter was kind, friendly, and very professional, helping to make the evening enjoyable from start to finish. Special praise goes to Brando, the owner—a legendary character and a master chef, capable of conveying passion and authenticity in every dish. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking contemporary, sincere, and high-quality Piedmontese cuisine.

17/10/2025: A chef capable of expressing imagination, flavor, and a strong connection to the region, a fantastic head waiter capable of making your dinner a pleasant and carefree experience with great professionalism... a perfect combination within a refined and welcoming venue... It has become a regular stop for us. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and feel welcomed and pampered. Thank you... It's always a pleasure to dine at Brando!!!!!

09/11/2025: Very welcoming, very kind staff, spectacular surprise menu. We had a great time.

05/10/2025: I'd heard very positive reviews, and indeed, I can only leave a glowing review! First of all, the intimate atmosphere and the fact that everyone eats the same menu creates a magical, almost homey atmosphere; nevertheless, the service remains excellent, always attentive, kind, and discreet. Not knowing what you'll eat is a real advantage for me; there's no problem choosing, and it adds that touch of curiosity that makes you appreciate the food even more. The quality of the dishes is superb, with a focus on seasonal ingredients, and if I'm not mistaken, I've also read that they use many locally sourced ingredients. As a final treat, the coffee served from a large moka pot brings back a bygone ritual, reminding us that life should be savored slowly. My compliments for the passion you convey, and we'll definitely see you again!

27/10/2025: Delicious food Fantastic service Thank you so much guys keep going 👍👍

14/10/2025: We had dinner for our wedding anniversary. The dinner was perfect, the location is simply stunning, it feels like being in the 1920s. The atmosphere is very welcoming, comfortable, and well-kept. It's truly incredible. The food is truly excellent, and above all, the service is impeccable. The staff is very kind, helpful, and above all, very knowledgeable in the engaging descriptions of all the dishes and wines. It's truly a dream place that's hard to find nowadays. Definitely a must-go! Oh, and thank you for the sweet and unexpected surprise for our anniversary.

27/09/2025: This restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed traditional dishes like agnolotti and bollito misto, accompanied by select Piedmontese wines. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the place is ideal for a quiet dinner with friends or family. The wooden details and decorations make the atmosphere warm and familiar.
