The best restaurants Îles Borromées

Next to the island's pier, a villa with blue shutters, with a terrace where wisteria blooms. The Ruffoni family associates its name with fishing and is one of the few to continue the activity on the shores of Lake Maggiore. From the lake to the plate, that's the motto here. Its cuisine consists almost entirely of freshwater fish. Sophisticated dishes, spreads, marinades, carpaccio of sea trout or fried fish, risotto with perch fillets, fresh pasta with red mullet from the lake, an assortment of grilled fish with Piedmontese sauce...

Almost in front of the landing stage of Isola dei Pescatori, a beautiful address with a sheltered terrace where you can taste the specialities of the lake, prepared with a touch of contemporary inspiration and finesse. Please note: in the evening, on request, there is a free shuttle boat service from Stresa and Baveno. Particularly recommended: fish antipasto and fish of the day (pescato del giorno). A menu of fish and local products, therefore, and accompanied by a beautiful choice of Italian wines!
