I migliori ristoranti in Novara

16/11/2025: I came in with the intention of having breakfast. The place is small with two small tables, so if you want to linger, it might not be the ideal place. The quality of the products is excellent. I tried the savory pastries, and they deserve a well-deserved five-star rating. Unfortunately, coffee isn't prepared and served; you have to make it with a high-tech hotel-style machine. The only downside is the service. Fifteen minutes to be served is way too long. I want to offer some constructive criticism. The staff needs to smile. Long faces behind the counter cause customers to lose.

24/02/2026: Very good breakfasts, wide choice of croissants

15/11/2025: Excellent breakfasts and extraordinary historic biscuits. Delicious!

01/01/2026: Run by the Chinese, they make a good cappuccino and everything, they are all very kind, always available, they are cheap and super kind, well done everyone, father, mother and children, happy new year 2026...from Lucia.

04/03/2026: We were greeted by qualified and professional staff. We asked for a daily menu (€13.50) for two to share (due to dietary restrictions). Our request was fulfilled quickly, and we arrived at the cash register, only to find the bill was higher. In essence, a €13.50 menu including water and no dessert, but with two coffees (€2.40), we paid €22.90. Clarification requested: a shared menu is charged as if you had ordered two, as the restaurant requires... this was the owner's response. This scam has been reported to the relevant Finance Police.

25/01/2026: Business lunch. Fixed menu €13 without coffee (€1.20 per person). Pizzeria, good and fast service, large dining room with plenty of seating. Parking in front of the restaurant with spaces available. ...does not accept meal vouchers or Edenred restaurant tickets.

21/03/2026: I could write that the pizza was excellent, that they didn't skimp on the fries, that the place was modest and welcoming, but that's not all that struck me. It was the pizza chef's wonderful smile, the warmth and welcome you'd perhaps only find in a Michelin-starred restaurant, the thousand thanks given to the people. Every now and then, perhaps it's good to remember that life's real problems lie elsewhere, and this pizzeria does just that.

07/01/2026: We ordered two pizzas from this pizzeria and they arrived soft. The toppings were not noticeable. All this advertising on social media, but in the end, the yield was poor. The quality has dropped a lot in recent months. Instead of thinking about making attractive advertising on social media, we should also pay a little attention to quality and service.

17/12/2025: Friendly bar...also a cigarette shop Friendly owners...

12/09/2025: Coffee (good) for 1 euro in September 2025... I don't know how many other places there are still... Very kind girl, everything's ok... Keep in mind places like this because they are now rare in Italy... Next time I pass by there I'll gladly go back.

13/03/2026: Arrived late for dinner and was greeted with kindness. Traditional food presented simply and effectively. The price was more than reasonable. A wonderful experience.

09/02/2026: I went yesterday with my family... We had a great time... even better!!! Generous self-service appetizer... we chose two first courses... ravioli with butter and sage and pappardelle with wild boar ragù... homemade pasta, of course. For the 3 children, pappardelle with meat ragù. Truly exceptional. For the second course, we had ribs with potatoes and salad. There was also the option of grilled fish. For dessert, everything was homemade... tiramisu... chocolate mousse... profiteroles or panna cotta. The simple atmosphere is what we like... the owner is wonderful... We'll be back... absolutely! I recommend it...

13/03/2026: I bought some very good pizza. Too bad the defrosted arancini split open in my hands, and the cannoli was soft. Even the one was frozen or stale. Too bad considering how much it costs.

24/02/2026: Excellent pizzas and focaccias. Recommended!

28/03/2026: Even on a somewhat chaotic day, we were greeted kindly. The food was good and reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

23/03/2026: Nice place, and a fabulous pizza menu, especially with real DOP mozzarella. Well located, and parking not far away.

31/10/2025: A takeout kebab platter. It was empty, four fries and a small amount of kebab, and what little there was was cold. Plus, instead of a flatbread, they gave me half a pizza crust folded in half. To spend €10 on this, you'd be better off going to a pizzeria.

27/10/2025: Really good pizza, very friendly, excellent value for money

22/02/2026: There were 10 of us at Panacea Bistrot (3 couples, 2 with small children, and 2 friends). Different orders: 1 to 3 courses, €18 wine split between 5, 0.5L beers for €11 each, 0.5L water for €2 each, coffee and liqueurs for some. When asked for separate bills, the owner refused ("it's not practical," "you all ordered the same things"), ignoring the discrepancy in the orders. We split up to make things easier, and he finally accepted, reluctantly. My wife pointed out that the sorbets were €1 over the list price: a human error, which can happen. What was intolerable was the way the refund (a few euros) was handled, handing over €10 with a "Here, keep the change," a gesture accompanied by irritation: unjustifiable sarcasm and irritation. To her remark, "I feel like I'm being made fun of like this," she replies, "Oh no, why?", still with her trademark sarcasm. She leaves, visibly shaken. Only later, when they're already far away, does the friend who paid last mention the phrase: "Call her back and I'll give her another €10." The tarte tatin (€8) was disappointing: ready-made pastry from the supermarket and burnt caramel. Deca coffee was €3. The rest of the food was okay, the wait staff was friendly. We don't pretend to manage the restaurant or cook in someone else's kitchen, but we expect respect from paying customers. We won't be returning, so as not to upset the obviously delicate balance in managing the cash register.

31/12/2025: excellent dishes, fast service, friendly staff

21/02/2026: The service has improved a lot, everyone is more attentive and more available, the products are always excellent, the staff are very kind, friendly and helpful.

01/02/2026: The food quality was terrible!!!!!!!!!! I had strongly urged the annoyed cashier to ensure the grilled vegetables were well-cooked, but they were not only raw but also diced, when they're normally sliced ​​into rounds for piadinas or sandwiches. I think the chips were stale or fried in stale oil, as we immediately felt unwell after the little we ate. The restrooms are dilapidated, and everything is filthy, with no supervision whatsoever—a total lack of hygiene!

30/09/2025: Tagliolini with mushrooms: a sloppy soup, charged like in a gourmet restaurant. Charging a cover charge in a pub with a paper placemat seems a bit absurd to me, and the bread was sent back because it wasn't requested. Regardless, beyond the cost, the quality of the dish was terrible.

29/12/2025: Definitely unfavorable quality-price ratio

21/12/2025: If you don't download the app it will take you 3 hours to get out
