Italian Contemporary, Modern Cuisine

The “bubbles” promised in the name are five romantic private pods set in greenery, but you’ll also find beautiful comfort in the garden-side outdoor area and the more contemporary indoor dining room. After all, you’re inside the luxurious Boutique Hotel Stresa, and the same high standards are fully carried through. The kitchen took off with the arrival, in early 2025, of chef Salvatore Pacifico, who offers several tasting menus and an à la carte selection of modern dishes that at times reference the lake, the surrounding mountains, Campania, and also his native Puglia (especially apparent in t

Osteria 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.

This is a historic establishment, the guardian of a family tradition stretching back almost a century – celebrated in its iconic dessert, zabaione. The elegant setting draws its charm from a veranda overlooking the lake, further enhanced by a private jetty. The cuisine interprets contemporary tastes without compromising on classic favourites, supported by excellent ingredients sourced from the land, freshwater and sea. A prime example are the refined ravioli del plin with 100% langoustines.

Caffè delle Rose Bistrot

Mediterranean Cuisine

€€

Occupying an early 20C building in the heart of Pallanza’s picturesque historic centre, this authentic bistro now has a young and contemporary feel. Run by Massimiliano Celeste, a talented chef who is very well known in the region, the restaurant specialises in Mediterranean cuisine prepared with a touch of imagination. There’s a small chef’s table in front of the kitchen, plus an old ice-house (now a small wine cellar housing some excellent wines) which is well worth visiting.
