I migliori ristoranti in Verbano-cusio-ossola

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.

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.

28/08/2025: Sub par pizza for what you think is a good price only to be hit with an almost 30% service charge.

27/08/2025: Food ok but ordered chips that did not arrive even after waiting 45 mins and asking the waiter where they were; he replied they were on their way but never materialised. Service slow, curt, they clearly don't want passing trade. A service is added which is a joke as service so poor. Eat elsewhere if you are in the vicinity.

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.

23/01/2025: This place service owner Gino and waiter Bello are top all wishes were optimally fulfilled when it comes to food quality and service there is nothing in the area that beats all of this. Fish pizza everything here is made in traditional Neapolitan cuisine with heart and soul.

03/11/2024: Absolutely avoid. What is offered on the menu is not then served on the plate: sea bass fillet with shrimp, a chef's sauce on the menu, served two small grilled fillets with baked potatoes and 2 slices of frozen tomatoes. It's okay that an ingredient isn't available, but they don't even tell you. At the tables next door it was even worse, they refused the dish and took a carbonara... which arrived when the others were at the café and they had the bacon... the charcoal colored one. This is not to mention the discussion based on swearing and teasing between the host of the restaurant and the waiter of the restaurant next door. Disgusting. (Photo of the "receipt" released.

20/07/2025: I agree with the average review score. We went for pizza with friends. The pizza wasn't bad, and the service was good too. Prices were too high, though... Pizza, two medium draft beers, dessert, coffee, and bitter: €41. Note: draft beer wasn't on the menu, but it was available upon request. It's a shame I didn't ask how much... €7 for a 0.4L Poretti 4 Luppoli. Pizzas for €10, standard flavors.

05/07/2025: Very dry and burnt pizza, it would be good to change the pizza chef, also high prices on drinks.

28/05/2025: Sono stata sul posto dopo aver visitato villa Taranto, accolti io e le mie amiche da una ragazza gentilissima, molto garbata, cordiale, siamo state consigliate, servite con gentilezza, modi, che dire: grazie di cuore Marta ❤️ meriti tutto il bene del mondo!👏🏻👏🏻😘

10/05/2025: Paramos allí para un helado y un café , el camarero era muy agradable, pero la señora del bar era simplemente grosera y no podía haber dejado más claro que no quería tener nada que ver con nosotros - si nos hubiéramos reunido con ella antes no habríamos parado

20/07/2025: Bellissima scoperta, napoli a baveno. Il cuoppo è fantastico, pasta mista patate e provola e spaghetti con le polpette. Che dire fantastico e la cameriera simpatica e molto capace Lo consiglio e sicuramente ci ritorneremo

05/07/2025: Éste fue el servicio más desagradable y grosero que he experimentado en el mundo en 55 años. Nuestro camarero, Antonio, dijo que no era posible compartir una pizza. Debes pedir 2 . Cuando quisimos compartir algo con otros viajeros dijo: No es posible. Los viajeros se fueron. No pedimos más comida y nos marchamos. La pizza era mediocre. Ahórrese la experiencia de un hombre que intenta débilmente vender más productos a sus clientes. Crecí en el negocio de la restauración y fui dueño de uno durante 26 años. Como italiano, es una vergüenza para nuestra cultura. Cruza la calle hasta The Clipper Bar. Podrás sentarte en el lago Maggiore con vistas y una gran hospitalidad por parte de Giverna y el personal,

28/07/2025: On a quiet, and therefore peaceful, street, we enjoyed some delicious pizzas (the Bomba is a must-try), seasoned with a delicious spicy oil. A very pleasant experience. The service was fast. We had very little wait. The servers all spoke English, French, and Italian, which was extremely convenient.

27/07/2025: I had dinner and lunch over the course of two days, but I have to say I wasn't very satisfied with the food. I found the linguine with clams and tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms to be very, very dry, especially the "rinsed" clams, which lacked flavor. The seafood spaghetti was also flavorless. The mixed fried fish, on the other hand, was good. The prices are reasonable for the area, and the service and all the staff were very commendable. Cleanliness and location were excellent. It's still a place I'd probably return to.

18/08/2025: Friendliness, absolute impudence Prices, absolute impudence

15/08/2025: This bistro is charming and has a great atmosphere. We stopped for coffee before our visit. It was also excellent. We ordered one cheesecake without knowing the price. It was delicious, but small. €8 was exorbitantly expensive.

12/08/2025: August 12, 2025, approximately 12:30 PM We stopped for a sandwich, but unfortunately, we were struck by the lack of hygiene toward customers. You choose your sandwich, the lady takes it with her bare hands and passes it to the child, who also passes it to the bartender, also with his bare hands, of course. It's reheated and returned to the lady. While I was waiting, the bartender took some glasses left at the counter by a customer, rinsed them under running water, and put them on the rack to be used again. Are you serious? No table service due to lack of staff, and all in all, it was a good thing I saw what I wrote, so I wouldn't be left unaware, and I knew where not to stop again. Report this to the relevant authorities.

10/08/2025: Empty, low-quality sandwiches and very rude staff. Not recommended!

12/08/2025: We ate very mediocre pasta carbonara and cannelloni, the waiters were unfriendly. Finally, an €8 tax for the "service" (€2 per person).

10/08/2025: Very poor value for money. Limited service. 2 euro cutlery charge per person. I absolutely do not recommend it.

10/07/2025: On paye la vue et c est tout. Une douzaine de Gnocchi sans goût et en dessert un Tiramisu avec des boudoirs tout sec sans avoir été trempé initialement

15/06/2025: De pasta was goed, maar de pizza smaakte naar verbrand plastic. We hebben daar iets van gezegd en de pizza is van de rekening afgehaald. Dat was wel netjes. Mooi uitzicht op Lago Maggiore. Bediening was vriendelijk.

15/08/2025: The quality of the food is mediocre for the price. The dishes served are nothing special, bland, and lacking any real preparation. The starter was the only positive aspect of this meal. The perfect location for a tourist trap; I don't recommend it!

14/08/2025: Avoid! The lasagna was really bad, the other dishes mediocre and the service average. The view (and the impossibility of giving 0/5 on Google reviews) allows us to get to 1/5.

11/08/2025: Servizio al tavolo ok, personale gentile e veloce, unica nota negativa, i prezzi. Prendo una lattina di Schweppes e scopro che costa 5 euro, quando per la stessa il 9 giugno ho pagato euro 3.50. Non so quando possono cambiarsi i prezzi per la stagione. Ma lo trovo un po esagerato. Purtroppo l'idea di alzare i prezzi é terribile e a pagarne le conseguenze siamo tutti.

26/07/2025: Goede kwaliteit prijs verhouding met mooi uitzicht op Isola Bella. Met snelle goede bediening. Snap niet waar de slechte beoordelingen vandaan komen, het restaurant is meer waard!
