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.

My husband and I used to visit Lo Stornello for many years, so on my first return to Stresa after six years I wanted to go back. And the same delightful people are there, providing a friendly and excellent service, the food is wonderful and with a table outside, it is a good spot for people watching. A gem hidden in plain view.

Interesting preparations with very attractive presentations. Very convivial service. Excellent varied wine list with a wide selection of very good wines at under 6 Euros per glass. That is pretty amazing. Bottle prices were very well valued as well. Would definitely recommend a visit.
