Wanted somewhere special to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversay, saw the reviews of this restaurant and decided it was a place worth visiting. The positive reviews listed were not exaggerated...definitely a hidden gem away from Stresa. The staff were very attentive and the menus were...only in Italian, which they kindly went through with us having only a little of the language ourselves. Only half a dozen options per course but then that just makes it more of a gem. Limited menu, quality ingredients and prepared to perfection. For starters my wife had the spaghetti with sausage, that she really enjoyed and I had an item from the specials board, escargot...maybe not exactly Italian but very well prepared and tender to the bite. We both went for the pork dish for mains. Cooked pink, some may think too pink but it was so tender with a blackened crust and accompanied by a sweet sauce and raspberries. Such delicate pairings but complimented each other so well. We both went for desserts, the apple torte my wife had was so delicate and flavoursome. I had the chocolate torte, with chocolate gelato...not my normal thing, it was as rich as it sounds but totally delicious. A wonderful meal in a tranquil setting. Very much worth a visit though the transport from our Stresa hotel did charge €40 euros each way. Expensive but then the evening, food and the way we were treated was very much worth it for our special occasion. Visit, you shouldn't be disappointed.More
