Top 10 Places to Eat
-
1. 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.

2. Ristorante del Pescatore, Stresa
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.
-
3. Piemontese, Stresa
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.
