Definitely, more of a northern Italian cuisine, but I guess you are in Stresa. During dinner, a couple guys came by and provided us some entertainment with an accordion - it was really good and added to the atmosphere (he did accept tips). Don't know if this is a regular thing or not, but we enjoyed it. Would return and recommend.

It is simple and unpretentious. The host / proprietor visited everyone's table throughout their dining experience; engaging his patrons and answering questions, always with a smile. We chose the spot for our meal because of its Michelin rating, and it did not disappoint in either culinary or beverage excellence. The owner explained that the wines by the glass are extracted with a "needle" to maintain the integrity of what's left inside the bottle. The wines we shared were outstanding. We began with locally produced assortments of cheese and cured meats. My Tagliatelle with pork sausage was perfect in size and flavor. We finished with a fabulously smooth and rich Flan Cioccolato. High recommendations!

Despite the sign, the wait staff seemed quite surprised, flabbergasted, and a little overwhelmed by our request, but after sending the head waiter to speak to us the simple order was taken. How surprised we were upon return to our room to find a meager 1/4 teaspoon of finely chopped pistachios only ON THE SKIN SIDE! (Does anyone eat the skin? It is disposed!) Most puzzling! The salmon itself was fresh and fine, but what message was the chef intending to send us!! This restaurant was highly recommended to us by our wonderful local hostess, and I do not want to make a mountain out of a molehill, as most of the dishes we saw carried to tables looked good, but I really don't get this presentation!

It provides a complete ceiling like cover. When 2 large family groups arrived shortly after, he suggested we move to the center room given the numerous of small children in those groups. So we did. The wine list was thorough, but not overwhelming. My wife loved Tignello ( which is a Merlot and cabernet blend) and Moltipulciano D'abruzza . He recommended the latter as being local and not a blend. It was a wonderful wine. The food was Fabulous! this is a resort city and filled with restaurants serving Pizza, Pasta etc. If this is what you want, go elsewhere as this restaurant is very creative. They started us with a small taster, a soup which I think was roasted tomato soup with and perhaps some other flavorings, thick ands smooth and tasty. my wife started with their home made Pate and I had the Braseola. Both were excellent. My scallops were served on a bed of thinly sliced pears surrounded by a mild punkin sauce/puree. my wife had shrimp over white polenta with a black truffle sauce...awesome. The desert menu was the most creative and unusual I I've seen I chose the 1st item, the Mrs the fourth. It was a wow! We both went back to our hotel very happy.
