Decent Italian food in a relatively quiet plaza. We ordered: - Carpaccio, fresh and delish - Ossobucco, rich and tender - mussels, meaty and yummy - mushroom tagliolini, pretty bland and can skip Service is quick and friendly. Come here for a quiet meal if you're in town. read more

Osteria Degli Amici - Italian Near Me - Stresa, VB

We went to this restaurant because we couldn't get into the one that we wanted. It turned out to be a stroke of luck - Amici is great! We started out with eggplant Parmesan and burrata. Both fantastic. Then, I had the plin ravioli and my son had the osso bucco. Finally, for dessert we had the pistachio semifreddo. We got a liter of house rosé. I would come back to this restaurant again, it was great. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was beautiful to sit outside under the vines. read more

Osteria Degli Amici - Lasagne, clams, salad and red wine - Italian Near Me - Stresa, VB

A solid osteria in a quiet plaza in stresa. The good is a 5. The bread basket is excellent. The cream of seafood soup I had was very good. Had a nice chunk of monk fish in it a large prawn. Full of flavor and enough for a meal. The vongole was also excellent as was the crème brûlée. Very good service. I gave it a 4 because the interior ambiance is nothing special. They have a nice outdoor area but a bit too cold this time of year. read more

Osteria Degli Amici - Italian Near Me - Stresa, VB

A cute little spot with a nice outdoor patio nestled under grape vines serving a variety of pizza and other Italian food. We decided to split a pizza and a caprese salad, both came out super quick (under 5 minutes) and were tasty and fresh (although not the best caprese we've had in Italy). The staff here are efficient and SUPER friendly with tourists with limited language skills and made it easy to order. Menus also had English sub-titles. They were pretty full at lunch on a sunny Tuesday so they must be doing something right. read more

My wife and I were wandering around the old square of Stresa when we came upon this little gem. We were actually wanting to go to another restaurant, but they were closed and we did not realize how fortunate that would be. We were warmly greeted by the head waiter and sat down in the front garden area and as you can see from the picture, it was quite charming. As I have noticed throughout all of our trip to northern Italy, every establishment uses the energy efficient bulbs that have an overly bright and harsh color. More old fashioned incandescents and candles give off a warming more pleasing light. But I digress... Though our limited Italian is terrible, we were able to get across that we wanted a bottle of a good local red wine. The waiter suggested a fantastic Nebbiolo that was incredibly priced by US standards. We were off to a good start. We then had a plate of meats, their Antipasto Italia that was just delicious. Since we were in risotto country, we had to try the Risotto Funghi Porcini for 2. All we can say was "Wow". How could something be so rich and so light at the same time? However they prepare it here, I have never had it so good. My wife, who does not even like risotto, almost finished her huge portion. Though we were full, the pace of the meal was slow and we enjoyed some more of our wine before the most perfectly prepared Branzino came to our table. We did not think we had room for more, but we could not resist. It was cooked perfecto and it tasted delicious. This is a great place that you will really love and I am happy to be the first Yelp review. read more

This place was great, had the Mushroom risotto and it was one of the best I've ever had. Service was also great!

Would definitely recommend. A little osteria off the main square in Stresa, a town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. They also have covered seating in the little town square. Definitely agree with the mushroom/porcini risotto (13 Euro per person, min 2 people). Minestrone was excellent, filled with vegetables and a chicken broth. Had a bottle of local Nebbiolo. Wa had excellent pasta and pork dishes. Roast beef with rosemary came out quite raw, but otherwise a reasonably priced, legit place. read more

We were looking for some light fare and trying to dodge the carbs for a change. As well, looking for a place where we didn't have to wait for the dinner bell to ring at 7:00 or 7:30. WandeRing around sweet Stresa found this place tucked into a little alley not far off the bustling main square.it turns out that the rather large patio area in another square belongs to them as well and cozying up under an umbrella worked well . No apps tonight as we had just finished a drink in the Main Square at a wine bar and along wth your drink comes a generous tray of nibbles. Menu has lots of the usual pizzas and pastas, but hubs chose some salted perch and a side of buttered spinach which was to die for--it tasted like fresh out of the garden. I had the veal with lemon and a side of grilled veggies. Perfect portion sizes and the grilled veggies would have been stellar save for that buttered spinach. Sadly, we sprung for the calorie and carb busting apple pie which was unremarkable. Wait staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. Additional bonus was the ppl watching and a group of three young siblings kicking the soccer ball around in their play yard -- the square in a very civil manner. read more
