Now , we think of Luino as our second home to relax and also to party.work hard play hard.! And , let me tell you, there is no better place to do it in than the TRIPPOLINI. Do you get made welcome there? Its overwhelming !! And once the Locals see that you are having a good time , they sure know how to make it better !!! The Drawcard for us is the Kareooke at Trippolinis, those italian Voices don't need much coaxingand they are a natural singing nation. Everyone would win Superstar if entered. HERE ITS JUST FOR FUN ! and lots of it.. we never manage to leave before closing time at 2 am and the owner of our Hotel ANCORA ( another great place) waits up patiently to let us in. On our last visit this Easter we were promised the Keys of the House so that we can come and go as we like.. well we are booked already for May and July (with the In-laws) and looking forward to it !!!

I had the most delightful spaghetti dish the very first time I came here a few years ago, and when…read moreI returned this summer, I was disappointed to find that what I had remembered as the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Peperocini (which is available in most Italian restaurants in Europe, but so far none have anywhere close to being what I remembered from here) was not nearly as good as I had remembered. Maybe my memory was playing tricks on me, or maybe it was actually another dish I'd had. Regardless, the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Peperocini was still good. The starter prosciutto and melon platter was great as well: the melon was juicy and full of flavour. Because I came with my family, I had the chance to sample some of the spaghetti bolognese (pretty good), the spaghetti with seafood (amazingly delicious - the seafood was done well, and added a saltiness to the pasta), and the lamb steak (lamb's not my thing but my brother liked his dish). The meringue cake for dessert was very nice: light and fluffy. We shared some of the house wine (red) and sat in the garden to enjoy the sun. Service was great - they were busy but friendly, and when they ran out of regular coke, they gave us Coke Zero. Surprisingly, when the regular coke arrived, they gave it to us - on the house (even though we hadn't asked for a second order of coke). All in all, a great place to spend a lazy afternoon.
