Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The food was really tasty and the staff were friendly. It's a lovely little restaurant and I'd definitely eat there again."
"Delicious pizzas and pasta. We had 4 different pizzas and one pasta pesto. All food was really good. Service was really nice. We liked this place. It seems that reservation is needed"
"We had a great meal here, the service was super friendly (and funny), the spot is simple and all you need for an easy dinner sipping limoncello spritz, play cards and just enjoy the vibe. Good mix of locals and tourists. Our pizza with rucola had the perfect dough & crust, the linguine with seafood & pomodoro tasted fresh & amazing and the starter of grilled peaches and buffalo mozzarella was excellent. Highly recommend for an effortless, delicious dinner in Stresa."
"Family run place. Amazing pizza. Great quality. Very friendly staff. 10/0"
"If I can give more than 5 stars for the service, I will give it. The owner is very very nice, excellent service and smile. When we arrived, there was no more table. Some tables were already reserved. When I asked to eat outside, the owner said it’s cold. And she offered us just in front of the bar/cashier. She put one table with 2 chairs for us. The pizza was excellent. I ordered mix fry seafood. The daughter’s owner is also sympathetic. We have some chit-chat while we ate. It’s really good atmosphere even though the restaurant quite small."
"Brilliant atmosphere, fantastic food, great service. Really happy to have found this little place today"
"Decent place for a pizza and drinks. Good service and very friendly, with some room for improvement in terms of logistics and organisation. A bit away from the city centre, which makes it a more enjoyable."
"Good prices, plentiful portions and pizza sizes. I ordered "Il dirigibile" (the airship!), and while it looks like way too much for one person, if you can eat a regular Napolitano pizza on your own, it's basically the same - dough is not crazy thick. And you get a caprese salad as a side."
