This little restaurant on one of the side streets of Stresa is wonderful. A large crowd came in after we were seated & we thought our service would be affected but it was not. I had a very unusual but delicious fish puree - light & perfect!

The ambience of the restaurant is so charming and romantic - even in the hot sun. The waitress’ smile was welcoming and we much appreciated the Coca-Cola over ice and lemon. But the highlight here was the most delicious spaghetti for lunch - one of the best meals we’ve had in our time in Stresa. Highly recommend and would come back again!
