I migliori ristoranti in Verbano-cusio-ossola

26/04/2026: I find myself having to write a review. And I'm not one to usually do that. I have a life. A real one, not a virtual one. I don't feel the need to show off where I go or to set myself up as a champion of good taste, and sharing my opinion with complete strangers isn't exactly one of my priorities. And yet, here I am today. Because there's a limit to pettiness. To the superficiality of those who have nothing better to do than discredit an artisanal business, just for the sake of it. To feel powerful, hiding behind a cruel review. So yes, I'll have my say too. You don't go to Clo's just because the gelato is excellent—and far superior to any other for miles. You go there to exchange a few scathing quips with the owner: always rushing between two outlets (brilliantly placed 40 km apart), with a quick, cynical, unmistakable wit. Over the years, it has earned the trust of many customers, who—like me—love to hate it. You go there for the girls' smiles, which remain bright and genuine despite the often embarrassing requests they're forced to listen to from a certain human fauna. And yes, you also get gelato. Excellent gelato. Anyone who can't grasp all this would be better off going elsewhere. Anyway, the more I have left. But a word of advice: if you have to use your fingers to write nonsense, do yourself a favor—keep them busy elsewhere. There are times when sticking them up your nose isn't so reprehensible compared to the rest.

26/04/2026: Today I left this ice cream shop empty-handed and with a bitter taste in my mouth, due to the owner's behavior. My husband had come in to get an ice cream while I waited in the car with the sleeping children. When he returned, he expressed his disappointment: a €4.60 cone with three very small scoops, significantly smaller than the one he'd received just two weeks earlier (and every time before), when the portion had been much larger. At that point, I went into the shop to pick up my "free" cone (having already purchased 10 ice creams). Since there were no other customers, I pointed out to the girls that the cone my husband had just purchased was rather small and disappointing. After discussing it, they prepared the free ice cream for me and, to apologize for the previous one, put it in the cone instead of the cone. At that point, the owner intervened and, unaware of the situation, demanded payment of the €0.30 difference for the cone. This information hadn't been communicated to me, and since I didn't have any money, I found myself in a bind. The owner then took my ice cream and refused to give it back to me. I was shocked! I followed her to the door of the shop to try to explain the situation, to no avail. I suggested we go talk about it outside, since the shop was already full. She refused to come out. Furthermore, the owner scolded the girls in front of everyone, which I found unprofessional and extremely unpleasant. I was mortified and they were visibly embarrassed. The fact is that, for €0.30 and a lack of knowledge, she chose to throw away the pre-made ice cream, resulting in a waste and leaving me with nothing. I don't think I'll be back. I believe that respect, especially towards one's employees, is the foundation of everything. I sincerely apologize to the girls for the inconvenience caused; I hope they didn't receive another scolding. The 2 stars are for the girls and the fact that the ice cream is good. Otherwise, the review would have been a 0. REPLY TO THE MESSAGE BELOW: First of all, I absolutely didn't use those terms because they're not in my everyday vocabulary... and I didn't yell at them, but simply pointed out the smaller size of the ice cream (actually "unacceptable" and "unreasonable size for the type of waffle"—words I could have used) compared to usual, and only because there was no one in the shop at that precise moment... the fact remains that my ice cream was stolen, the only reason I went into the shop... behavior that I consider unbecoming for someone whose job is to sell ice cream. And the tone of your reply to the review showed who the rude one is 😅 In any case, I'm happy that the relationship between the owner and the employee is excellent; that's the important thing, as working peace of mind always comes first. We customers come and go, while you girls work there and deal with it every day! I wish you all the best for the future😊

03/05/2026: The pizza is not bad but maybe a little expensive, the beers are also a little expensive and it's Menabrea on tap.

31/01/2026: Polenta and sausage, polenta and braised beef, and lamb chops, all beautifully cooked and accompanied by a delicious plate of grilled vegetables! We had a great time, the staff were friendly, and the service was quick. I recommend it.

25/04/2026: Spend 700€ and got kicked out because one person fell asleep...

29/03/2026: The best brioche with jam ever!

12/04/2026: Very friendly staff. The food isn't the best. The outdoor park is a peaceful oasis. I think they have many strengths. However, they need to improve the quality of their dishes. The bread needs to be fresh, and they also need to pay attention to the water temperature.

25/03/2026: A very fine and reasonably priced menu

15/05/2026: The pizza was mediocre. You can get better pizza at a random pizzeria in Wrocław. The salami was too salty, and the cheese was low quality.

15/05/2026: A wonderful find ! We stopped to check out the castle and stayed for a coffee and croissant . Delightful welcoming staff , inviting interior and good coffee !

09/11/2025: The atmosphere is appropriately informal, in a classic club style, warm and welcoming, with a clean and well-maintained dining area. The food and pizza are excellent, and the value for money is excellent. Thanks to Giovanni for the delicious desserts and his hospitality.

30/10/2025: Very welcoming, friendly and authentic place!

24/05/2026: Terrible pizza, rude owner. Never go back.

12/05/2026: Very nice atmosphere, very delicious pizza! 🤌

03/09/2025: Good cocktails and good focaccia

20/08/2025: The food tastes very good, but the portions of the pasta dishes are very small. Absolutely not enough for an adult. Hence, unfortunately, only 3 stars.

11/04/2026: The pizza was delicious, but the service, especially the owner, was very unfriendly and we had to wait quite a while to be served.

05/04/2026: The food was excellent and the staff was friendly. I was very satisfied and will come again.

30/12/2025: Good location, owner in front of the counter quite noisy, service not available and offer that we still don't understand what he wants. Represent... herbal teas are fine but the menus? Honestly we left quite perplexed.

23/11/2025: Although there were four employees behind the counter, we weren't served. It wasn't the first time. We left. That's not what I call friendly service.

14/11/2025: I was very disappointed with my experience at this kebab bar. We came in because we just wanted something to eat, but the staff began to insist on making us pizzas in an unprofessional manner. The situation then escalated when a staff member made very vulgar personal insults toward us—he made sexual comments about us and mocked us, even insulting us in Arabic. All of this made us feel harassed and humiliated, even though we hadn't caused any problems. We even asked for glasses and were given dirty ones.

04/10/2025: The falafel wrap is delicious, and the guys are really nice!

02/05/2026: Convinced that the June review was a success, I'm rewriting it for the sake of fairness. After booking for four people well in advance, we were greeted by the statement that we couldn't dine inside or outside under the awning, but instead sat to the side of the restaurant, on a wooden bench and a village-style table. The reason? A dance evening, hosted—according to the restaurant owner—by a company administrator. We expressed our dissatisfaction, but sat down. The paper menu wasn't available, so we were forced to choose from a blackboard. Two options weren't available, so we had to settle for something else. The food was mediocre, and the service was lacking (no tablecloth). Desserts weren't available. First and last time.
