Una magica passeggiata sul lungo lago e poi...Cafè de la Sera, naturalmente! Per un buon caffè al mattino, un pranzetto in riva al lago, un aperitivo o una cena immersi nella splendida cornice di Arona e del Lago Maggiore. Vi aspettiamo nel nostro Lounge

We visited this restaurant bar several times throughout the years only for Aperol!This time we decided to give a go at their restaurant.Unfortunately it was not a good experience!The food looked much more than it tasted!Actually they wanted to present it as a high quality restaurant but nowhere near!We were six people and none of us was happy with their food!The first dishes we ordered were particularly bad!!Expensive for what you get qualitywise.

Have been here twice, and both times to eat Pizza. Both times the pizza was of a really high standard and value for money. Restaurant itself is nice, either in or out, and service average.Might be worth trying something else next time? Or just have a very good pizza.

Walking and came across this place by chance. Busy, so generally a good sign. They did have a set lunch menu which looked like value for money but we ordered off the menu. I had the stuff squid which was really small and hadn't been cleaned properly. The accompanying vegetables though were exquisite. My sons cotoletta, whilst large wasn't really seasoned. Prices on the higher end. Service to start with was really slow and neglectful. The decor inside was quite charming. Unfortunately I'll put it down to a bad day. Would give it another go in the hope it would live up to its expectations.

I am literally blown away by this restaurant. Literally everything we tried was superb.. we had the fiori di zucca fritters and horse meat tartare as starters, came pretty fast.Then we tried the casarecci with pesto sauce and calamari and some meat, can't recall what's called but wow, it was mouth watering.. even the deserts were delicious. This place is a MUST during your trip in Arona.

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

We ate hear on a friend's recommendation. About an hour from Milan Malpensa airport. The service was fantastic in this very friendly run family restaurant. Their wine list and knowledge of wine is excellent. Even though we could not speak any Italian, the waitress translated the whole menu into English for us. Very highly recommended :)Grazie mille !!

Just off the main street of Arona, lies this cosy and delicious Enoteca. The food is superb, delicious and served quickly by amazing stuff that own the place. We had an appetiser of bresaola and ricotta cheese and zucchini mousse which was very good and then we ate meat - pork and beef and it was amazing. The food combinations are fantastic and they have on offer all the best Belgium beers. The interior of the Enoteca is very nice decorated with vines and wine bottles, a really nice decoration.

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

Vegan restaurant. Organic dishes and homemade vegan pastry.

We found this wonderful restaurant when doing some research before travelling to Lake Maggiore as we are vegan (and I have a whole host of food intolerances) and so it can be next to impossible to eat out in Italy, for us! However there is vegan and then there is VEGAN, in other words the standard of food can be very variable and often quite poor when you opt to go plant-based (and we have encountered the full range on our travels!) so we weren't very sure what to expect. Many vegan restaurants give a bad name to this kind of eating, which is so frustrating when you enjoy creative and healthy cooking yourself...and it is often preferable, if hard work, to self-cater when travelling. We were so pleasantly surprised by the creative and diverse food on offer here (and not at all reliant on meat-sustitutes - we encountered tempeh and buy no soy and the rest was truely plant based) that we ended up going to this resturant three times in under a week, twice for dinner and once for buffet lunch. All three meals were varied and so enjoyable. On each occassion, they took careful note of my gluten free status (advised in advance) and carefully explained my options in excellent English. On the sunday, which is buffet night, they had kindly prepared a gluten free buffet in a seperate place to the rest of the food so there was no mistaking what I could eat...and there was plenty for me as most of the dishes were gluten free. Our final lunch, just before we set off to the airport, was a substantial and delicious way to end our trip before travelling back to England and the cheerful and relaxed vibe in this special venue helped to make our holiday into something truly memorable. Would love to see eateries like this spring up all around Europe as it would make our travels so much easier and more pleasant. By the way, the clientele was made up entirely of Italian "locals" (that we saw) and this restaurant was consistently popular, with diners seated inside and out in their little garden; usually a good sign that it is a true winner attracting repeat business and not a gimmicky tourist venue.

I have been hearing about this place for a few months now so we have decided to test it out. We had family sunday lunch with small birthday celebration.The menu was excellent offering good variety of dishes. Not too many dishes as I get suspicious whether products are fresh. It has offered a diverse choice suitable to all tastes and the products were certainly fresh and carefully selected. The wine choice was also very good (pity I was designated driver but my husband has indulged).The highlight was maialino dish; very tender and juicy. Compliments to the chef.We had three/four course meal at very reasonable price. Superior quality, lovely interior and super nice service. It was our first visit but certainly not the last. We loved it :-)Thank you! Sorry for my bad english but i desire to answer you. I wait you and your family to taste our specialities that change every month and the special menu for the event like next woman's day or Easter or to taste our new Young proposal IL GIROPASTA
