I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Verbano-cusio-ossola

02/10/2025: Amazing! Lunch or dinner, from the classic Scholl-style sandwich (but larger), to steaks and fried foods! The staff is friendly, helpful, and always attentive to the customer! The food is truly delicious, and when you leave, you just want to come back. Highly recommended!

28/08/2025: If you are closed in high season I would recommend you indicate it on Google maybe one can save the trip.

20/10/2025: It was a pleasure to return to eat here three times in total. The place is welcoming, well-located, the service is impeccable, and the food is excellent, especially the tiramisu, which we recommended twice (and a special mention to the limoncino, which is absolutely divine). The gluten-free pizza dough option is fantastic, and for a very reasonable price. We were welcomed on Saturday evening, unaware that reservations were required everywhere in the city, and were able to enjoy a corner of the room. A big thank you for the service!

09/10/2025: Wow—that sums it up pretty well! The service, food, and value for money are hard to beat. The waitress is very friendly, fluent in English, and she gives great recommendations for the daily specials! So good, in fact, that we even had dinner there twice! The homemade tiramisu is definitely worth trying.

10/11/2025: Okay, but on the other hand, we waited over an hour for two pasta dishes. At that time of year, bring a sweater or jacket into the dining room.

10/11/2025: We had a very good meal. The terrace offers a beautiful and relaxed setting. The service was a little slow and the price is rather high compared to other restaurants on the island.

03/12/2025: We went for pizza. The dough was really delicious. It's a shame they put the tomato sauce on it completely raw, as if it had just been taken out of the tin, and the mozzarella wasn't perfectly melted. If they'd put it on the ingredients before cooking, the pizza would have been fabulous. This resulted in an American-style pizza that ruined the flavor. I think they do it to save time, but it makes a negative difference. It's a shame. Furthermore, the breaded cutlet the child had was overcooked, almost burnt on one side and therefore dry. I expected much more from a historic restaurant. I don't think we'll come again.

26/11/2025: Great place, the pizzas are very good and the staff are super friendly. I'll be back next time. Thanks!

29/10/2025: Fantastic discovery. Excellent food, excellent pizza, and very kind staff... I felt at home. Thank you so much Marco, River, and Storm

10/10/2025: Very fine pizza with a variety of regional offerings, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a relaxed staff even though all the tables were occupied. Few tourists venture here; it seems to be mostly popular with locals – even the priest comes here for dinner. 😉 We felt at home!

17/11/2025: Maybe we're a bit too particular about our tastes. Let's start with the battered vegetables... the flavor wasn't bad, but they seemed to have been microwaved, given the soft, warm texture on the outside and the piping hot inside. I repeat, the flavor was just right. A little venison salami as another appetizer, and yes, everything fits, very good! Let's move on to the pizzas: Margherita: I could only taste the sauce; we weren't particularly thrilled with it. I had the one with the game sauce; it has three very interesting options, and I wanted to try one (1, wild boar mortadella, 2 venison salami, 3 I don't remember, but it's like bresaola, and that's the one I had). This pizza looks good, probably apart from the sauce; the rest of the ingredients aren't exactly top-quality, but still, decent quality! The pecorino cheese really overpowered the other flavors, and the arugula didn't seem particularly fresh. Anyway, I ate it all :) There were other pizzerias where I didn't like it at all, but I'd have left it without a problem! Two Cokes Zero and two coffees. All for €48. It's not cheap, but not that excessive either! I usually give a pizza like this two stars or even one, but it deserves three stars for one very important factor: the dough! I left the table without feeling bloated, and I didn't feel sick. It means the dough takes at least 24 hours to make it through, probably even a little longer! The yeast and salt were well balanced, very good! So, I'm giving it a bonus! Let me start by saying that we went on a Tuesday, so it might not be the ideal day. So, since it's a matter of taste, I probably won't go back, but you guys, do it when you're out and about, because I recommend trying it anyway. Now, I'm giving the environment one star for our experience. While waiting to order coffee, two tables back we ordered the meat on the slab. Even as it arrived, you could smell something burning. Then the customer added a touch of class (not exactly smart) by pouring oil over it, not just the meat but also the slab, developing a strong pungent odor that drove my girlfriend and I to run off to get our coffee at the counter. Besides us, two other tables also had the same problem, coughing from the strong smoke and odor. So, again, give it a try because maybe it was just our bad night, and since I'm practically certain I won't be back, my assessment of that evening is exactly what I concluded and described.

11/11/2025: I'm not giving them a star only because I want to encourage them to improve. It's definitely not a place for those who love elegance and good food. We had two pizzas, but they were rubbery and tasteless. What I would point out is that when we asked for a side of vegetables, the waitress recommended battered zucchini flowers. When they arrived, they were rubbery, microwaved (warm on the outside, glowing on the inside), and looked like they were from the day before. In fact, the arugula they were sitting on was limp. I think they wanted to pass them off to someone so they wouldn't be thrown away. At a certain point, someone at the table over ordered meat on a stone, but it was so smoky inside that we left immediately. The chairs were uncomfortable and the tables were too close to each other. We definitely won't be back, sorry.

12/12/2025: Excellent wood-fired pizza... excellent Christmas amber beer... delicious pistachio cream. What more can I say! Oh yes... reservations are appreciated. Book now, people, book now.

27/11/2025: It's been a while since I've been there, but the last time I went I enjoyed an excellent pizza.

15/11/2025: 10 out of 10 for the food, service, and atmosphere.

13/11/2025: We visited this restaurant for a midweek lunch and had a wonderful time. The location is fantastic, warm, and welcoming. Every detail is taken care of, like everything else here. Excellent cuisine, featuring local ingredients and unique dishes beautifully presented. We were amazed by the deliciousness of their fresh, homemade pasta and the friendliness and hospitality of the staff! Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

17/10/2025: As always, it's been good. You've been able to eat well and relaxed here for many years.

28/09/2025: Very good restaurant, the pizza is truly unique with an incredibly thin base.

08/11/2025: I've been there before, it's the cuisine of my childhood! Everything is excellent!!!!

21/10/2025: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...excellent value, generous portions, good food, homey atmosphere! Cons: The heat and the long wait. We'll definitely be back! 💯

28/10/2025: Nice place, the waitresses are friendly... I recommend the "Binta" pizza (salsiccia, onion, black olives).

25/10/2025: I was truly impressed by Il Giardino. We were introduced to this restaurant after my mother-in-law recommended it, and we were very satisfied. The service and food were excellent.

03/12/2025: The service is too slow for a lunch break (even though they have workers' lunch), sometimes the menu is good, sometimes it's inedible... The staff isn't always alert and competent, and it's not normal to take orders from tables that arrive later... a matter of respect. It's not normal to wait 30 minutes between courses even though they take the full order... Many compliments, however, to the Chinese girl (I don't mean to offend, but I don't know her name) who turns the tables quickly and efficiently. When she's not there, it's a tragedy. I've tried several times to give them a chance, but I've been disappointed too many times... I hope you'll improve.

26/11/2025: Excellent pizza and homely but friendly and punctual service

28/09/2025: Excellent restaurant for food, location, and always attentive managers who unfortunately are finishing their careers today and will enjoy a well-deserved retirement.

28/09/2025: We only used the restaurant, once stopping just for pizza and a second time also sampling dishes from the kitchen. In both cases, we left satisfied, but if we had to recommend anything, we'd suggest the pizza.

20/10/2025: Excellent dough, excellent pizzas. We also saw some wonderful fish dishes, but haven't tried them. The desserts are also very good. Fair prices.
