湖大酒店

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.

Situated on the lakeside in the residential district of Verbania, this small, Old England - style restaurant serves a selection of freshwater and saltwater fish specialities. If the weather allows, ask for one of the few tables on the panoramic terrace.

Situated in the Il Porticciolo hotel, this restaurant will appeal to anyone who enjoys a lakeside setting. Leave your car in the car park, then take the lift down to the dining room with its windows overlooking the water and views of the opposite shore of Lake Maggiore. The lake also takes pride of place in some of the creative, elaborate and personalised dishes on the two tasting menus created by Riccardo Bassetti, many of which feature freshwater fish.
