I migliori ristoranti in Verbano-cusio-ossola

25/07/2025: The food was excellent and reasonably priced, a bit above the Italian average. We enjoyed fried calamari with fries. The white and red wines were very good, perfectly matching the meal. The service was very friendly; they didn't speak German and a little English, which I found rather pleasant. The restaurant's location is also nice, a bit away from the hustle and bustle. The only negative point is the restroom. It's difficult to find, and there's only one restroom for men and women together.

25/06/2025: I haven't had such delicious toramisu "fato a casa" in a long time. It's shady outside and a bit away from the hustle and bustle. Vacation feeling.

15/06/2025: We had read the mixed reviews but we went with the idea of ​​getting a pizza, which we thought couldn't go wrong... in the end yes, tomato sauce without salt, way too much mozzarella which made it barely edible, not to mention the slowness and the fact that we had to send it back 3 times

28/05/2025: We had dinner in this place where they welcomed us with cordiality, we ordered a delicious seafood appetizer and then two elephant ears Milanese veal rib with bone, finally for dessert a tiramisu and a fantastic mandarin sorbet. A thank you to the waiter Roberto who served us with professionalism and availability, we will return to try other delicious proposals.

15/07/2025: We ordered the set menu: one fish dish and one spaghetti dish with seafood. We received children's portions. Fish weighed less than 100 grams, and seafood = 2 mussels. We've rarely had such a bad meal. Everything smelled of old frying oil.

12/07/2025: I was tempted by the menu at the beginning of the street, a big mistake. I hesitated to leave a negative review, but this is too much. I ordered 3 set menus because there was no option to order the dishes without the set menu. €13 and €16 aren't worth 5. 2 tomato and meat lasagna dishes, where you look for meat, and whose color is closer to pink than red given the amount of béchamel sauce compared to the tomatoes. Served with fries. I've never seen this type of accompaniment (frozen fries worthy of a fast food restaurant and way too salty). 1 Spaghetti allo scoglio (seafood and tomato sauce). It's a crime to serve pasta so cooked. 2 mussels are fighting on the plate, 1 small piece of squid, and 1 small piece of octopus. A meager amount of pasta served, not even worthy of a child's portion. Panna cotta for dessert with the 3 gelatinous menus served without fruit coulis and with a trail of industrial chocolate sauce. Just like the dessert, you can't make anything that bad at home. Main course Orechiette, cime di rappa, and vongole. The pasta deserved to be cooked a little less. The cime di rappa, which is related to cabbage, was nonexistent since it was made from simple spinach. The vongole, barely 4 open and about 15 all closed, was a sign not to eat them. Disappointment communicated to the waitress, who apologized (she was embarrassed and probably used to it) and went to talk to the chef. He came back and told me that we didn't know how to do anything. That perhaps they were a little undercooked (complete nonsense given how quickly this shellfish cooks; I tried to hold on to this idea anyway, just to keep the risk of food poisoning out of my mind). She offered to offer us a coffee instead, but I had a tea. During the meal, there was cigarette smoke. I tried to find out where it was coming from, as it wasn't allowed on the terrace. A staff member was smoking right next to our table, less than a meter away, which was separated from the small street by wooden panels. The bill added €2.50 for cutlery per person, which wasn't listed anywhere. So, four pasta dishes and two small half-liter plastic bottles of still water, €70 thrown out the window for a bad meal. A real tourist trap and, above all, a disgrace to Italian cuisine.
