Are these details incorrect?

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.
4. 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.
5. Milano, Verbania-Pallanza

Verbania’s best restaurant serves classic Piemontese dishes and lake fish in lovely grounds.
6. Boccon di Vino, Verbania-Suna

Laid-back little osteria serving home-made pastas and simple, hearty seconds under vaulted ceilings.
7. Lo Scalo, Cannobio

The best of Cannobio’s restaurants offers Piemontese cooking with inventive touches and a generous use of vegetables and lake fish.
8. Il Sole, Ranco

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

Franco Carrera is an enthusiastic and innovative reinterpreter of “traditional” dishes. The menu changes daily in accordance with his whim.
10. Trattoria Campagna, Arona

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