Guidebook for Stresa
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.

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.

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.
