Had a delicious dinner here - lovely vegetarian/vegan options, right in the centre of town with a great atmosphere. Service and wine were great too

We ate here twice during our stay in Stresa. The service is very friendly and attentive, and the location right in the middle of town makes for a lively atmosphere. Ingredients taste fresh, and they offer both daily and weekly specials. Listed in the Michelin guide. Highlights for us were the pasta with fresh porcini (delicious), the grilled calamari with pan-fried potatoes and ginger carrots (tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned), and the tuna with fennel, orange, and pomegranate - fantastic. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town.

Overall a very nice find in Stresa, Italy. Went there for dinner as a couple. It’s a Michelin listed restaurant (2024 and 2025). The food was quite nice though I wouldn’t say all the dishes were exceptional. The flan was very nice as was the seafood pasta. I would definitely recommend having a meal there once if you like authentic Italian fare. Prices were very reasonable as well.
