Lo Stornello continues to impress with its consistently high-quality cuisine and warm, professional service. The atmosphere is refined yet relaxed, making it perfect for an evening in Stresa. Each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, showcasing both creativity and respect for local ingredients. The wine list remains excellent, with thoughtful pairings that elevate the meal. A reliable favorite and a restaurant we’ll happily return to again.

An epic meal! This restaurant, which provides fine dining in a bistro setting, is totally deserving of its Michelin accolades. Every dish in every course was special and superb. My first course – a mushroom soup with chestnuts – was probably the best soup I have ever tasted. There is a section of the menu devoted to vegetarian offerings, and the beetroot felafel did not disappoint. The semifreddo with cherries was the perfect ending to a perfect menu. The waitstaff were all friendly and knowledgeable and recommended an excellent wine. Given the high quality of the dining experience, we were also pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price for such fantastic food.

The service is very bad, even rude, and the food is not remarkable. So, I wouldn’t come back to this restaurant.

The service was wonderful, especially Domenico. They were attentive without being pushy. Very friendly and very professional. The dorata was perfect, as was the riso. The homemade gnocchi was delicious with just the right amount of sauce.

Initial impression… impressed. We were slightly early but that wasn’t a problem. Nice table under cover outside. One of the waiters assisted with choosing from the menu. Starters came quickly. Soufflé very bland. Main course - Suckling pig, fat was not crispy. Turbot was pleasant but bland. Food was well presented but there was no texture; even the sauté potatoes were soggy. We declined a dessert and shortly afterwards, a different waiter picked up our bottle of white wine and with a comment along the lines of you can’t leave that, started to share it between our glasses. This was done very casually and there was obviously more than he thought, so quite a lot of the wine ended up on the table. We left feeling underwhelmed and rather disappointed.
