Impero
Piedmontese, Regional Cuisine · Bib
€€
A culinary landmark in the Novara province, this restaurant has been run for decades by the enthusiastic Naggi sisters, whose family have owned the premises since 1934. The secret to their success lies in the warm welcome and the delicious traditional cuisine, which includes fresh homemade pasta, an extraordinary paniscia (a type of risotto), and stuffed boiled chicken served with various sauces and chutneys displayed on a trolley. All the dishes are full of flavour and made from seasonal ingredients. You’ll have no problem finding a good wine to accompany your meal from the impressive wine li

Villa Crespi
Creative, Mediterranean Cuisine · ★★★ Michelin
€€€€
A short walk from the fairytale village and its postcard-perfect view of the lake and the island of San Giulio, the setting of this three-star restaurant is no less dazzling: a late nineteenth-century villa in Moorish style, an aristocratic dwelling where the Crespi family life unfolded, as imposing in its exterior appearance as it is fascinating in its interior rooms. Here the veranda offers glimpses and plays of natural light, while the other three rooms are embellished with elaborate ceilings and marvelous parquet floors. Today the star of the villa is Antonino Cannavacciuolo, a brilliant c

This restaurant is a true shrine to Italian cuisine, which continues to tell the story of the passion and dedication of two great professionals who have marked a turning point in the industry. Luisa Marelli, who has a degree in literature and is self-taught in the kitchen for love, creates dishes that have become true classics, rich in references to tradition and with a special focus on the seasonality of ingredients. Her husband, Angelo Valazza, is the master of the dining room par excellence, a true “maître” that all those aspiring to this profession should work alongside for a while. His el

Osteria San Giulio
Piedmontese, Country cooking · Bib
€€
A timeless atmosphere lingers in this hamlet, a former rural abbey that speaks to the region’s deep ties with agriculture and its enduring traditions. Those same roots are reflected in the menu of this humble, almost austere osteria: agnolotti with roast meat sauce, local cured meats and cheeses, panissa, and bunet. Prices are very fair, especially with the Menù dell’Oste (under €40).

Situated in the historic centre of one of the most romantic lakeside villages in Italy, and offering a picture-postcard view of bygone days, this small building houses a contemporary-style restaurant with a small private dining room and three romantic outdoor terraces (book well in advance). The cuisine here is creative and precise, with a menu that features fish and seafood alongside top-quality meat from the Piedmont. Each recipe is personalised, often focusing on contrasting flavours and textures (don’t miss the unstructured elderberry crêpe with pollen and pan brioche). The wine list is ov

Cannavacciuolo by the Lake
Contemporary, Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
Situated within the elegant Laqua by the Lake boutique hotel (part of the Cannavacciuolo “galaxy”), this restaurant boasts fine lake views to accompany the imaginative Mediterranean cuisine served by resident chef Giovanni Bertone. There are three tasting menus (the lake-inspired “Brezza”; the Neapolitan-influenced “Acquolina”, and a totally vegetarian menu), plus an à la carte option for anyone who wishes to choose their own individual dishes. Our inspector particularly recommends the amberjack, fennel and roe dish, as well as Antonino’s mouthwatering babà dessert.

Il Patio
Country cooking, Contemporary · ★ Michelin
€€€
Set in ancient stables, with a refreshing terrace overlooking a garden prepared for outdoor service in the summertime, Il Patio is a popular gourmet destination in the area. Its success is due to high-quality gastronomy and excellent, highly professional service. Led by chef-owner Sergio Vineis, alongside his son Simone, the cuisine begins with a connection to the local area and evolves into a balanced contemporary style. The wine selection is extensive, well-structured, and always distinctive.

Family tradition is renewed with a contemporary spirit at this venue overlooking the historic Ma.Ri.Na. The philosophy here is clear: exceptional raw materials, carefully selected and showcased by chef Menoncin and patron Davide Possoni. The latter enjoys sitting down with guests at the start of the evening to guide them toward offerings best suited to personal tastes: fish, crustaceans, and mollusks interpreted in original recipes, occasionally with pleasing spicy accents, always generous and elegantly plated. The crudo selection is unmissable – notably the sumptuous crustacean trio of scampi
