  • Verbania’s best restaurant serves classic Piemontese dishes and lake fish in lovely grounds.

  • Perennial Milan discotheque just a few blocks south of the Duomo where the chic set come to dine then dance the night away.

  • Garden seating, a homely atmosphere and gourmet set-priced menus make this a foodie haven in the village of Maggianico outside Lecco.

  • Distinctive variations on local dishes and a judicious use of lake fish.

  • Menaggio’s hostel doubles as a favourite spot for ultra-cheap dinners. You serve yourself (and do your own washing up), but the cooking is pretty good.

  • Osteria degli Amici, Stresa

    This convivial spot in the back streets has some outdoor tables and a menu ranging from pizza to freshly caught lake fish.

  • Pasticceria Marchesi

    A delightfully Old World café and chocolatier near the Last Supper (see Pasticceria Marchesi, Milan).

  • Pasticceria Marchesi, Milan

    A wonderful old-fashioned café and chocolatier happily “discovered” by many a visitor trekking out to see the Last Supper . The décor hasn’t changed since 1824, the coffee is quite good and the pastries are favoured by Giorgio Armani.

  • Stresa’s top restaurant piles on the elegance with bow-tied service and a wood-panelled dining room. What’s best, though, is the vine-shaded cobbled courtyard, where you can enjoy hearty local dishes with a modern twist.

  • Ask a discerning Milanese to take you to the best pizzeria in town, and you’ll probably end up enjoying a huge, thick slice (no full pies) here.
