We came here twice: before and after visiting ISOLA BORROMEE We love squeeze orange juice. It’s fresh Espresso was also excellent. Near parking lot and port for going to small island. The negative side is only toilet coz it’s only one toilet and lots of people :(

We went there after visiting the Borromean Islands. The restaurant was very nice. Friendly staff and good food in affordable prices. The view is stunning. There was no service fee (coperto). They also have a dinner menu after 7pm but I don’t have any photos

Quickly accessible from both the pier and the cableway, with a nice view of Isola Bella, this is a great stop for a quick and healthy lunch. The dishes are very good, comparable to more expensive alternatives in Stresa. The menu offers good choices, mostly fish based. Service is straightforward and very efficient.

Lovely spot with a stunning view overlooking Isola Pescatori and Isola Bella! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing — perfect for a leisurely lunch or evening drink. The house wine was just €5 and turned out to be a delicious Barbera — rich and full of flavor, true Piedmont quality. I had the meat tartare, and as always, it was excellent — but of course, it’s Piedmontese meat, it never disappoints! Definitely a place I’d come back to for the view, the wine, and the great food.

A pleasant restaurant in the port of Stresa, where you can take boats to the islands of Lago Maggiore. This restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel receptionist. We ordered Tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms and parmesan, they were excellent and there were a lot of mushrooms. The white wine Arneis roero, which they recommended to us, went very well with the food.
