Il Fornello Bottega Con Cucina - STRESA

Che meraviglia! Un risotto cacio e pepe pazzesco (ho cercato di carpire la ricetta), una vista che ti mette in pace con il mondo, un servizio simpatico e vivace. Sarà un pranzo che ricorderò.

We stopped here on a rainy day with our two younger kids. It really made our day. This tiny place is located in a former smoke house. Service was were attentive and really friendly as well as funny. The food was delicious. Baked cheese with marinated asparagus and fish tatar as a starter. Fresh pasta and cacio e pepe risotto perfectly cooked. Desert was equally delicious. Worth every Euro spent and I would always go there again.

The best meal we had in Lake Maggiore! The terrace is absolutely beautiful and views are stunning, you’re tucked away from the bussle of the island making it feel very intimate. The food and drinks were outstanding and so tasty but the best part of our experience here was the service… i think our server was called Hugo but he made our trip what it was! He was so friendly and personable, every interaction was great and he made us laugh and smile every time he came over. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone visiting!

One of the few quiet places to get away from the heaving tourist mass. Very good genuine local food with excellent service. Lovely shaded terrace on the lake. Not cheap but definitely worth it (except the coffee which was very bitter). Worth a visit

Great place. Most likely the best restaurant in Isola Bella Highly recommended Gnocchi are great, Vitello tonato also great
