  • Laid-back little osteria serving home-made pastas and simple, hearty seconds under vaulted ceilings.

  • Regional specialities and ancient recipes in a modern room filled with New Age music (see Il Sole di Ranco, Lake Maggiore).

  • Franco Carrera is an enthusiastic and innovative reinterpreter of “traditional” dishes. The menu changes daily in accordance with his whim.

  • The best of Cannobio’s restaurants offers Piemontese cooking with inventive touches and a generous use of vegetables and lake fish.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Tucked away in the upper reaches of town, this restaurant is popular for fish dinners and a Valencian paella (for two or more only) for which it’s best to book ahead.

  • A country trattoria in the hills above Arona, with seasonal menu composed of excellent home-made pastas and stuffed game meats.

  • Verbano, Isola Superiore (Isola dei Pescatori)

    The hotel’s restaurant is set on a terrace at the tip of the island, with great views. Regional dishes are very good and reasonably priced.
