This is cozy place downtown Arona on lake promenade. Food is really excellent and very good quality. List, mainly seafood, is limited but very tasty. Staff is professional and friendly. Price is reasonable for quality and location.

During a holidayweek in the Lago Maggiore region we decided to have dinner twice in this lovely restaurant. The friendly staff and the extraudinary price/performance lured us back. A fairly short menue with good food and a limited but very good selection of wines. Definately...a good choise for a meal in AronaMore

It was absolutely a great culinary experience you can’t miss. We tried amazingly tasty and fresh mix of raw crustaceans but you also have to try the tasting menu. Very very reasonably priced considering that you are eating top quality seafood. We have eaten in...other restaurants around the area but this one beats them all. Really appreciated the extra small dishes they brought out during the meal and the service was excellent. We recommend pairing the dinner with a delicious Arnais white wine. Una esperienza eccezionale! Provate il menù degustazione, ne vale la pena!!! Ottimo il luccioperca con le verdurine fritte. E i l’antipasto di mix di gamberi crudi. Tra i vari ristoranti provati in zona questo li surclassa tutti. Torneremo sicuramente. Prezzi onestissimi e personale gentile. Complimenti!!!More

This restaurant is a jewel in the centre of Arona on the lakeside. The dishes are carefully prepared and cleverly the lunch menù offers a limited but excellent choice. The à la carte menù in the evening offers a wider choice. Fish seems to be...prevalent but there is also a choice of meat. The tris of fish and the luccioperca are really special. This restaurant is quality for the price. Very convenientMore

What a stunning experience. Quality from start to finish. The dining room is beautifully furnished and there’s a calm, classy air about the whole place. Service is super professional and the food absolutely top notch. All of five of the party went for the four-course...Menu Degustation which at €30 represented outstanding value. The selection of desserts including a chocolate fondant was to die for. The Lugano white wine was delightful too.More

After visiting lots of restaurants at Lago Maggiore we found this restaurant which is not (!) offering Pizza. Instead of this you can get a lot of fresh fish and other fine meals. You can sit outside or inside in a warm modern atmosphere. Fast...we recieved the menu and wine list. We ordered a mixed seafood starter with raw fish filets, prawns and oyster offered at a price of 20,00 €. The quality and preparation was perfect. Of course we received a basket with different sorts of high class bread and an amuse gueule from the kitchen. For main we ordered fresh fish (catch of the day) with some potatoes charged with 18,00 € per person. The bottle of white wine, Tartufo, 20,00 €, was fine. In general the service is fast and friendly. What could be done better? The choice of fine Italian wines could be more extensive. But you will find enough good wines in this restaurant which is located next to the lake. I can highly recomnend this restaurant. My subjective personal rating: Service: 4 points Preparation and quality of meals: 5 points Location: 4 points Price and value for money: 4 pointsMore

Lungo lago, overlooking the lake. Warm, elegant classical trattoria. Menu choice is not very large but what they have is good. I had one of the best risotto Milanese (with safran) I had in years. Service in kind and efficient and value for money is...good.More
