Dining
Battipalo
An intimate and atmospheric venue, ideal for a romantic lakeside stop, where you can enjoy a relaxing break thanks to Italian and lake cuisine, sometimes reinterpreted with a more contemporary approach, but with little affectation and, instead, excellent substance. Enthusiasts will appreciate the snails with bread, butter, and parsley, accompanied by a garlic cream and seasonal mushrooms. Above all, the use of quality raw materials is fundamental.
WebsiteOsteria Mercato
Tucked slightly away from the city’s main tourist paths, behind the lanes of the historical center, this restaurant presents a contemporary setting with a distinctly customized décor. The cuisine moves confidently between land and sea: from ravioli filled with “farmyard” meats, nettles, and cardoncelli mushrooms to skewered octopus with mussels and a saffron broth, with room for a touch of creativity as well. Excellent attention is paid to sourcing local ingredients, and in the warmer months, the outdoor terrace is fresh and pleasant.
WebsiteLa Botte
A modern and welcoming contemporary bistro situated in the heart of Stresa’s historic centre. Run by an entire family, the restaurant serves modern and imaginative fish and meat dishes where the focus is always on seasonal ingredients. The interesting wine list also includes a selection of wines by the glass.
