“ Delicious food, especially the pizzas! Very good service and a nice atmosphere!! ”
“ Stopped here for lunch on the way back to Miasino after a morning walk. We were intially disappointed to hear they weren’t serving pizza but are glad we stayed. The friendly waitress helped us choose some dishes by translating into English for us. Highly recommend the gnocca starter and lemony linguine with courgette (no shrimps for us). ”
“ We arrived late and were seated outside; it was a bit chilli by then but we had a little dog so we were fine with that. It was a busy night and it seems like we were forgotten by the servers and the chefs and we waited an hour for our two pizzas. I was regretting my choice of dress to wear as the wait was long and the alpine air was getting distinctly cool. However, when the pizzas did come they were amazingly tasty. ”
“ They have the best pizza you can eat in the Lake Orta region. All the other dishes are also highly recommended. I can highly recommend this restaurant! I’ve been coming here several times a year since it opened. The service is always very friendly and attentive, and you can enjoy your meal in a cozy atmosphere. ”
