Food Scene

Food for a pro;) probably the best value for money restaurant on the lake and my favourite: variety and depth of regional Piemonte cousine. Awesome. Traditional old setting, not suited to impress....but real foodies.

Food for a pro;) excellent quality food. The terrace overlooking the lake has impressive views and a friendly feeling. The place is very popular with English and Russians, local property owners. Again, fun and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant has no parking and the guests will use up all the spots on the street: be patient and ready to walk a bit, to and from the restaurant.

Food for a show;) call the restaurant (+39 0323 30408/32534) to book a boat come and pick you up at Carciano Lido (just passed Stresa, car parking) and take you to Isola Pecatori. The restaurant outside terrace is overlooking Palazzo Borromeo on Isola Bella, illuminated at night. Romantic dinner or business, your guests will never forget. Dress code: smart casual.

Food for a pro ;-) dinner booking only, call +3903231981324 or +393452290490 to get the motor boat to come pick you up at the Lido in Stresa. Ask for the upper floor table for ultra romantic setting. Few steps away from Verbano, what it lacks in view, totally makes up in intimacy-pro-only in the know-atmosphere.

Established, medium/high end cocktail bar in Arona. Always been there. Reliable quality. Probably more towards forty-something audience, but not only.
