Outdoor service in the summer on the terrace with an exceptional view of the lake. Original furnishings and extremely well kept rooms. Menu including lake specialities. The rooms are simple, comfortable and always neat and tidy.

A pleasant and colourful restaurant in the village centre, divided into several dining rooms. The owner-chef prepares a range of eclectic dishes with passion and enthusiasm, offering a menu which includes meat dishes alongside fish options (salt- and freshwater), as well as a few regional specialities.

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.

Within the confines of the small, charming Verbano hotel on the beautiful island of Pescatori, chef Marco Sacco serves top-quality cuisine in what can only be described as a stunning setting. The contemporary-style dining room boasts panoramic windows, while the outdoor terrace with its views of Palazzo Borromeo and Isola Bella is the perfect setting for dinner in fine weather.

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.

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.
