I migliori ristoranti in Verbano-cusio-ossola

09/11/2025: Perfect for an aperitivo. They open at 6 a.m. and also serve breakfast. It's a good place for a quick breakfast before work.

01/12/2025: We had a conscripts dinner and we had a really good time, the food was plentiful and at the end of the evening we even danced.

30/10/2025: Had dinner with a group of friends: perfect place. Excellent, home-cooked food, plentiful, and not greasy. The dining room and bathrooms were spotless. The atmosphere was warm, and the staff were very polite and attentive. The price was affordable. Jerry, the chef, was superb. Highly recommended!!!

23/07/2025: Very friendly and super delicious. Highly recommended.

19/04/2026: Isn't it customary to issue a receipt if you pay in cash?

13/04/2026: I stopped for a quick drink and a Spritz. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I expected something more for the snacks that accompany the aperitif. The bar is located in Verbania, near Villa Taranto. The atmosphere is very refined, but it doesn't have a view of the lake, but rather the street.

05/05/2026: From a chain, I would have expected a better organization and business model. I ordered a side of vegetables, and what arrived was something embarrassing, something that 100% of the time no restaurant would ever dare serve; starting with the choice of cutting the vegetables, such as the zucchini sliced ​​thinly and into rounds. What was still inconceivable was not so much the cutting, but the fact that they were served burnt. The portion, besides being ridiculous, was burnt, and looked like a small plate of burnt leftovers discarded from some other table. A courageous choice, in short, to serve something like that. Speaking of the ribs, however, they were nauseating, bordering on indecency, industrially and excessively smoked, glazed with something so sweet it seemed like an outsider dessert, without even the foresight or finesse that comes from real cooking experience to also use salt and maybe pepper—in short, the basics of cuisine in general around the world. I understand the choice to optimize service, probably by using a CBT with a roner, but in my opinion, meat in a so-called steakhouse should have other qualities and not just be seen as grilled for aesthetic reasons. The meat is therefore juicy, melt-in-the-mouth, but overly sweet and nauseatingly smoked. The staff, from the kitchen to the dining room, is inexperienced, very young, perhaps with no experience or even no training in the sector, especially in the kitchen, I'd say. €75 was a waste of money. Totally in need of revision. The service was distracted and disorganized; the coffees were forgotten and served after 20 minutes. I left and it didn't feel like I'd eaten grilled or barbecued meat. The best part? The potatoes, even if they weren't fried enough, which came in frozen bags, and the arrosticini, even if a little rubbery, probably due to improper defrosting, but at least I was able to taste the grill and, above all, the flavor of the meat. Honestly, it's better to spend a little more at a real steak house or go to any well-known fast food restaurant where you can also save money. On a positive note, the wine is good value for money, but otherwise, it's just not up to par. The food service team lacks a lot of thought and organization. This isn't a chain destined for growth, at least not this place. A piece of advice: improve these things and remove those spicy sauce toppings and sweet glazes from the ribs. Think about something more classic, especially starting to use salt, no spicy sauces or anything else. The meat is the star of the show, not a pastry shop. Leave the sugar to them. Learn to balance the use of sweet glazes. Honey might be better, but it needs to be measured and balanced with salt and maybe some mustard. It felt like eating meat soaked in pure glucose syrup. This is definitely not a steak house. If an American were to accidentally walk in, he'd probably set the place on fire at the very least. This is neither Italian style nor American barbecue, it's a complete joke. The average age target it is aimed at is 16 to 18 year olds with obviously very undemanding and totally immature palates.

02/05/2026: Nice, clean place and very good sandwiches

29/10/2025: I would love to write a review, but the shop is always closed.

26/08/2025: Is this place closed??? We were there, but it doesn't look like a bakery.

17/03/2026: He used to be very qualified... he did quality work... then with all the tables outside and doubling the rounds, we end up with sloppy dishes... we can also see it from the low score. I don't go out to eat below 4.4. Luckily for him, there are the Germans and Swiss...

02/11/2025: Absolutely loved the food. High Quality. However as a tourist we felt less welcome. Also the main course was served while we were still eating our first course. This is just not done. We would like the enjoy the evening and each course!

03/05/2026: Very poor service. The waiters barely speak English, and the menu translations are atrocious. We ordered seafood, and it arrived raw. The menu did NOT state that the seafood was raw. We explained the situation, but they refused to quickly fry the seafood for us. I would not recommend this restaurant, as there are many more, and certainly better, options.

02/05/2026: Very tasty food, friendly staff, many locals also go there to eat!

03/05/2026: We went for dinner the other day and ordered three decent pizzas. The dough lacked salt and the consistency was a bit rubbery. The ingredients were lacking for the price. I ordered the parmigiana and got four extra-thin slices of eggplant—a bit too much!!! The service is slow.

23/04/2026: Good food, service could be improved, but in general, a good restaurant is good food...

30/11/2025: EXCELLENT KEBAB, GREAT PIZZAS EXCELLENT PRICES

15/09/2025: Akif is the number one in all of Verbania! Highly recommended! Go with confidence!

20/10/2025: The beautiful barista is sweet, kind, and professional at her finest. The atmosphere is clean and welcoming.

29/08/2025: Nice little bar that sells delicious paninis. The waitress is super friendly!

03/08/2025: Very good, no wait. Magical staff, incredible speed of service during aperitivo with the place packed. Good drinks. Great relaxation. Super efficient and fast. Perfect. You can see it's under new management.

31/07/2025: A simple, straightforward bar with a nice view of the lake. There are tables and chairs, so you can relax for a while, but otherwise, the bar is unremarkable. There are a few small snacks and a small selection of drinks – coffee, wine, something cold – but no classic cocktails. It's also a shame there's no music or friendlier service, which would improve the atmosphere. The beach next door also needs better maintenance – if it were more well-maintained, the entire facility would have the potential to attract more tourists. (NO INTERNET)

18/12/2025: An excellent restaurant, excellent cuisine, impeccable service, and professionalism first and foremost. I've eaten there twice recently and it's always perfect. Excellent wines. An added value in Intra. Well done.

20/11/2025: I really like this restaurant, with its pleasant atmosphere. You always feel special. Every dish is perfectly prepared and presented, and the flavor is excellent. The service is very attentive. I tried the restaurant's appetizers, tagliata and octopus. Excellent quality and rich in flavor.
