Finally, we ordered the hot chocolate cake (think mini lava cake) - which was good but very small. Maybe we ordered all the wrong things. The service was good.

This family-owned restaurant didn't disappoint. The prices were fair for a good lunch, the service was friendly, the pizza was delicious, and the setting was perfect to enjoy la Bella Vita. If you find yourself in Stresa or anywhere in the Lago Maggiore area, give this place a chance.

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.
