SERENELLA
Read moreIn the charming hamlet of Feriolo, a handful of kilometers north of Baveno, this hotel-restaurant has maintained its good reputation for well over 50 years. This traditional establishment offers a classic cuisine that emphasizes the freshness of its produce. The menu features excellent fish specialties, thanks to the hotel's geographical location. Try the menu de la mer, with its black spaghetti served with the fish of the day, or the tagliatelle version... The hotel also boasts 14 modern, comfortable rooms.
RESTAURANT LA PIRATERA
Read moreIt's the only restaurant on the island. On its terrace, we saw the other two islands: Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori, as well as on the coast of Stresa.
ARCADIA
Read moreThe restaurants of the actor and comedian Pietro Chiambretti and his company Food & Company almost never disappoint. Here is one which has an exceptional frame, under the Galleria Subalpina, in the corner with Piazza Castello. The original cuisine offers Piedmontese dishes as well as Japanese sushi. Excellent wine list with over 250 labels.
FRATELLI LA COZZA
Read moreIt is one of the restaurants of actor Piero Chiambretti, who is well known in Italy for his ironic treatment of politics. The restaurant picks up the style of its creator: a lot of humor and love at the right table. The restaurant pays special tribute to the true Neapolitan pizza. The rest of the kitchen follows the flavours of the Mediterranean (specialty: mussels, cozze in Italian).
LA BUFALA
Read moreIn the heart of the Romano Romano, this stylish, contemporary restaurant with a refined garden and soft lighting offers a large, traditional pizza card. However, some freedoms are taken: pizzas with exotic guaranteed flavours.
OTIUM SIBIRIAKI
Read moreThis is a stunning Siberian atmosphere in the heart of the Romano Romano. A stone decor and brick, and a fireplace, provide a few small wooden tables that are illuminated. The specialty is sibir: a hot board to cook meat, fish and vegetables that you choose yourself at will. But the map of Russian specialities is long: salmon and blinis, smoked herring, smétana sauce and of course vodka to all sauces.
OSTERIA DEL FIAT
Read moreFIAT, or Fate Infretta A Tavola (which could be translated as: hurry up and eat!). The tone is of course ironic and mocking in this osteria, symbol of the Lingotto district. Local workers and civil servants come here to have a bite to eat at noon, so the service is very quick. Nevertheless, the dishes remain very good and the prices more than correct. On the walls, photos, newspaper articles and old advertisements tell the story of the famous Italian car brand and the city of Turin associated with it.
OSTERIA DEI COLORI
Read moreImagine an osteria where the waiters exchange jokes as they run around the room, where a plate of salami and gorgonzola is placed on your table as a welcome, and where the evenings always end very late, perhaps after tasting the homemade digestifs... This is the Osteria dei Colori, a restaurant with several pretty, colorful, candlelit rooms. Everything here is really very good, but don't miss the house specialty: chicche allo stracchino.
PERBACCO
Read moreA colorful bistro and wine bar next to the cathedral, well known to the locals, where you can sample typical local products prepared according to original, tasty recipes, all at very reasonable prices. Excellent wines to accompany truly succulent and hearty dishes. The two Dégustation menus are highly recommended. Helpful and efficient staff. Fire in the fireplace in winter... A very good choice for a downtown dinner.
SCANNABUE
Read moreScannabue is at the top of the list of restaurants currently in vogue in the Piedmontese capital and has plenty to defend its cause. In the heart of the cool San Salvario district, the successful setting of the venue oscillates between that of a Parisian bistro and that of an English club. Leather, wood, mirrors, zinc and bottles surround the small tables with green tablecloths, close together. Very fresh, the raw materials selected in the kitchen make up regional dishes without reproach. Wine list to match the cuisine.
SFASHION CAFE
Read moreThe brainchild of actor Piero Chiambretti, the Sfashion Café is a bar-restaurant-pizzeria with a vintage, film-themed decor. Inside, you'll find a colorful, ironic atmosphere, where at lunch and dinner you can feast on tramezzini, brioche, pizzas and mussels (the specialty) under the gaze of a portrait of the imposing Sweet Agatha. The cuisine is Neapolitan-influenced, with pizzas taking pride of place - and they're delicious! The summer terrace is just as lively, overlooking the beautiful Piazza Carlo Alberto.
DECORATORI & IMBIANCHINI
A restaurant with an authentic setting, offering simple yet flavorful ...Read more
EDIT BAR RESTAURANT
Read moreThe Ettore Fico Museum in the north of the city is a beautiful space for creative gastronomy. In the spirit of its founders, it's a social hub, a meeting place open all day long, where people can meet over a drink or a meal, make plans, work, create... A variety of indoor and outdoor spaces offer the opportunity to enjoy modern dishes adapted to different dietary intolerances and preferences. Edit also produces its own beers, all unfiltered and unpasteurized.
L'HAMBURGHERIA DI EATALY
Read more"Life's too short to drink and eat badly": that's the philosophy behind this "hamburgerie" owned by quality food giant Eataly. The food on offer is the same as that found in chain fast-food restaurants: burger, cheeseburger, fries and hotdogs to eat in or take away, but the result is quite different... The beef is real Piedmontese beef, the fries are made from real potatoes, finely cut and fried in good oil, the hotdog is made from pure pork meat, etc.
IL PICCOLO LORD
Read moreBarely outside the centre, but just a few steps from the Mole Antonelliana, here is a charming, friendly, welcoming and somewhat romantic restaurant. The exposed brick ceilings give a country feel, but the kitchen is far from rustic. To whet the appetite, small salty appetizers start by putting you in a good mood. Agnolotti, codfish with polenta and all the classics of Piedmontese cuisine cooked with care follow each other naturally throughout your meal. The menu changes every season, one more reason to come back!
IL TABISCA
Read moreIdeally located in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, Il Tabisca offers excellent pizzas served on a wooden board with unrefined flour, which is easier to digest, as well as many Piedmontese and Sicilian gastronomic proposals. On the Piedmont side, a selection of mountain cheeses, typical cold cuts, traditional pasta(agnolotti, gnocchi...) and on the Sicilian side fresh fish: Beccafico sardines, moure alla messinese, pasta, tempura... A wide range of artisanal beers to accompany it all!
ALBERGO ELVEZIA
Read moreA large restaurant offering excellent local specialities. In the beautiful surroundings of the large room or terrace, or in the little alley (with a little cheaper food). You can book for weddings.
PORTO DI SAVONA
Read moreExceptional position for this restaurant of Piedmontese specialities, overlooking Piazza Vittorio Veneto, just at the mouth of Via Po. It takes its name from the fact that it was from here that the couriers that linked Turin to Savona, a port that was very important for the city at the time, left. The interior is characteristic with its old brewery look, but it is the terrace that we prefer, to taste a trout with hazelnuts and a chocolate bunet (kind of sausage) while contemplating in the distance the church of the Gran Madre di Dio.
BISTROT 76
Read moreIn the heart of town, just a stone's throw from the lake, Bistrot 76 (formerly Ristorante Piemontese) is one of Stresa's most renowned addresses. Inside: a beautifully wood-panelled dining room and a flower-filled pergola for al fresco dining. The varied cuisine is typically Piedmontese, and the wine list is tempting. The welcome is friendly, almost family-like, and you'll feel right at home. The lake menu offers fish and local produce in original specialties, a real discovery. Good value for money.
