Discover Restaurants offering the best Seafood food in Lake Maggiore, Piedmont, Italy. On the south side of the Alps, Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy. Since the climate is mild year-round, the area is filled with Mediterranean vegetation and exotic plants.

Here's hoping you won't have any run-ins of that nature.

In Casteletto lived four days. Two evenings spent in this restaurant. I liked everything very much. Price and quality and service.The beef fillet was incomparable. Colmar rings are the same. The desserts are great. White homemade wine completes this list :)

Had a dinner with fish (zander) and ratatouille and desserts - tiramisu and crema catalana. The fish was ok, not fabulous, but ok. When the desserts arrived,we both wondered if they were taken from the freezer and served. At least, they did not taste as fresh. Service good,attentive waiters.grazie,bacchetta renato

Fantastic food here with a very talented chef. Well worth a visit both for dinner and very reasonable lunchtime menu. They have lovely outside area but we preferred the tables inside as the interior is really well done.

Our first lunch after our arrival at Stresa and we were so glad we went there. The restaurant opened at noon for lunch and we were the first table. We ordered the foie gras, 3 house made fresh pasta dishes and a bottle of wine to share between the two of us. The chef plated all the orders in half before serving us. We really appreciated the efforts and definitely kick up the rating. The food was very good. The service was friendly and thfe food came in a timely manner.

This restaurant is very popular and booking essential. Time should be left to find a car-parking space as well!The view is towards the east over Lake Maggiore. Service was attentive and the locally made breads were excellent. The octopus leg was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The raviolis were good as a secundi. The main tempura vegetable and fish dish was huge and the tempura slightly on the thick side. The other main course was slightly under-seasoned for my taste.A pleasant evening as acouple enjoying nice food on the lakeside

Beautiful location and very extensive hotel with grounds that seem to go go on forever on the shore of Lago Maggiore. There is something for everyone here. Formed rock pathways snake through beautiful gardens and rocky outcrops, past the wellness centre and on to the kids play area and multiple swimming areas beneath rock pools fed by waterfalls. It really is amazing.The hotel with many bars and restaurants almost take a back seat to everything else on offer.A must visit if you are looking to stay a while or simply dropping in to break the drive, round trip Lugano - Lugano which only takes a couple of hours anyway.Dear Mr Jock,it's really amazing for us to feel your satisfaction about your hotelstay and about our restaurant!thank you for your beautiful words about our garden, our services, our Location and position: we're really happy to know that you appriciated everything and we hope to see you soon.we wish you a nice day!1your sincerelythe teamCamin Hotel Colmegna

Nice restaurant in the pedestrian area with a small outdoor area heated by lamps. The staff is nice, the food super and well presented. We had vitel tonnee, veal with tuna sauce typical Piedmontese, and gnocchi with pink trout, a very interesting and unusual combination; then we shared Rossini filet and lamb with thyme, both meats really tender and juicy. The chocolate soufflé was excellent too. Portions are middle size, as you expect in a fine restaurant. The price is on the high side. They have wine by the glass or also half bottles. They take credit cards.

After visiting lots of restaurants at Lago Maggiore we found this restaurant which is not (!) offering Pizza.Instead of this you can get a lot of fresh fish and other fine meals.You can sit outside or inside in a warm modern atmosphere.Fast we recieved the menu and wine list.We ordered a mixed seafood starter with raw fish filets, prawns and oyster offered at a price of 20,00 â¬.The quality and preparation was perfect.Of course we received a basket with different sorts of high class bread and an amuse gueule from the kitchen.For main we ordered fresh fish (catch of the day) with some potatoes charged with 18,00 ⬠per person.The bottle of white wine, Tartufo, 20,00 â¬, was fine.In general the service is fast and friendly.What could be done better? The choice of fine Italian wines could be more extensive.But you will find enough good wines in this restaurant which is located next to the lake.I can highly recomnend this restaurant.My subjective personal rating: Service: 4 pointsPreparation and quality of meals: 5 pointsLocation: 4 pointsPrice and value for money: 4 pointsThank you very much!We hope to see you again on your next visit on Lake Maggiore!With our best regards,Sabrina & Gabriele

Wonderful evenings. Great music, great service and wonderful food. The owner is delightful and made good wine choices, wait staff professional and the chef creates amazing food. We went 3 time with the same perfect result. The turbot encased in flour and salt and baked is amazing.

We can only recommend this place for an excellent dinner. The outside location is pretty small but exactly that adds a lot to the very personal touch and atmosphere. The chef is a really nice guy. Personal greetings and always asking if you are happy. And believe you are! The tortillini which are of handmade doughe from the mama is just perfect! Hi there, enjoy yourself, but make a reservation. As said it's an exclusive opportunity you can't afford to miss!
