immersa nel verde dei boschi in località Tabarino (AMENO) è una Osteria di altri tempi dove si mangia bene con prodotti genuini a KM 0. Il gestore e i suoi collaboratori sono simpatici cortesi ed educati. Specialità da non perdere gli straordinari risotti gli antipasti e il buonissimo tiramisù di produzione propria. più che consigliato. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente ! L'Osteria della faina ha riaperto con una nuova gestione. Ci siamo recati per il pranzo e devo dire che promette molto bene. Ottimo menù con prodotti di qualità, gestori educati e pronti ad esaudire i desideri dei clienti. Ottima cucina.

Un’osteria autentica in un piccolo borgo, io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo mangiato benissimo e la cameriera è stata davvero gentile. Lo consigliamo vivamente!

Antipasto misto buonissimo, risotto del giorno Rosmarino, Gorgonzola e Bacon da svenire. Secondi a malinconia abbiamo passato ma la Panna cotta con fragole e marmellata di uva da sogno. Bravi torneremo

Pranzo fantastico con un gruppo di amici. Cibo ottimo, ambiente rustico, caldo e accogliente. Una piacevolissima scoperta. Posto un po' defilato, raggiungibile in auto con parcheggio proprio, ma la passeggiata da Miasino (una oretta) vale davvero la pena.

Posto fantastico! Un po appartato ma super accogliente e carino. Ci hanno accolto come a casa. Trattati benissimo. Cibo molto buono dall'antipasto al dolce. Grazie mille perché è come essere a casa. Il prezzo molto buono!

Dopo il sabato ad Orta San Giulio, la domenica mattina io e mia moglie abbiamo esplorato i borghi del sopra lago Guardando le recensioni abbiamo prenotato all'usteria. Ci ha accolti Alice, in veranda, bella temperatura, bel verde. Antipasto con fiore di zucca fritto ripieno di ricotta ed alici (ottimamente bilanciati) salame di cinghiale, crudo con melone, verdure sott'olio, vitello tonnato e due tipi di formaggio. Sapori puliti ed assortimento gustoso. Di primo, da buoni lombardi ci siamo fiondati sul risotto al radicchio mantecato con toma piemontese. Anche questo piatto super gustoso. Il "secondo", data anche la nostra età non ci stava più, ed allora abbiamo esagerato con una ciambella fatta in casa con panna e marmellata di more. Che dire, tra la garbatezza di Alice ed i piatti......ttTop

Un piccolo gioiellino dove trovare pace, accompagnati da cibo delizioso. Proprietario simpatico e accogliente, piatti eseguiti con cura e dedizione, e per finire, musica di sottofondo rilassante e di un certo livello. Consigliatissimo.

Ambiente tipico da trattoria, caldo, simpatico, familiare come il proprietario chef. Piatti tipici, pochi ma curati alla perfezione e con ingredienti di alta qualità a vero km 0. Ottimo antipasto di salumi e formaggi del luogo, tagliatelle fatte in casa al ragù di cinghiale giovane da urlo e panna cotta con marmellata di uva raccolta tardiva entrambe home made strepitosa (finalmente una panna cotta senza colla di pesce). Che dire, ci tornerò!

Locale molto accogliente e famigliare, abbiamo mangiato una bagna cauda buonissima! Lo chef è veramente bravo, i piatti erano tutti deliziosi! Anche la cameriera molto gentile e preparata. Insomma consigliamo vivamente questa osteria per un pasto famigliare e accogliente:)

Un luogo accogliente e rilassato con piatti semplici, ben eseguiti e gustosi. Sicuramente è il luogo perfetto da abbinare ad una passeggiata o un giro con amici nella zona, probabilmente il suo meglio lo dà in primavera-estate per la possibilità di stare fuori e godersi il bel tempo.

If you're in the region, Don't Miss. Best local food and atmosphere. We came in a group of 4, for Christmas lunch. The Staff were welcoming, smiling and friendly. It was a fixed menu for that day and we were full after the starter and first course accompanied by 2×0.5 liter carafes of white wine. The desert and coffee were also perfect.

What an excellent place. We booked on the same day as we were staying in Orta San Giulio. I highly recommend that you eat out of town if you want to eat decent food. The waitress spoke English and helped us with the menu. The chef came out to speak with us, even though we didn't speak any Italian. Somehow we understood each other, which was really nice. We had local dishes, all nicely cooked and full of flavour. I would recommend this place anytime. The level of service was great.

An unforgettable hidden gem near Lake Orta. The chef welcomed us warmly, even as he was closing, and served one of the best meals of our trip — incredible bistecca, fresh pasta, and rustic sides. What made it truly special was the atmosphere: dining alongside a local Italian family celebrating together felt like stepping into real Italy. Authentic, hospitable, and unforgettable — this is the kind of experience you travel for. Grazie Chef, per averci accolto e per essere stato un ospite incredibile.

Pietro will feel your soul and body with super tasty dishes and the Alice-made limoncello with unique taste of flavours. Highly recommended out of the noise and warm of the city. We'll be back for sure 100%

Wow! This is one of the best meals I have had in Italy and my entire life. We don't speak Italian, but the owner was very accommodating and gave us a wonderful experience. The pasta was delicious and the local antipasto platter was fantastic! Lots of parking available. 10/10 thank you!

Very kind owner/staff. Simple yet excellent food. Even grilled vegetables which come with tagliata di manzo were great.

We were there twice last week for a simple lunch and then for dinner on Saturday (we had hare slowly cooked). The cooking is very good with top quality local products and they are very friendly. The chef is always happy to discuss and share his passion. Grazie!

The tiramisu took me on a journey of indulgence that left me with a contented heart and a satisfied appetite. The burrata a and locally sourced ricotta had me falling in love with every bite.

We had the most amazing dinner at Osteria della Faina tonight, best one we’ve had in Italy. The food was outstanding, the service was great and the chef was very friendly. It was so much better than the dinner we had in over prized Orta San Giulio, worth the travel to this authentic restaurant!! We will definitely come back next time when we are traveling in Italy. Thanks again for the amazing food!

Brilliant, 100% real Italian Restaurant. My wife coocks very well, this way our expectations are always VERY HIGH, we're VERY crytical. But Osteria della Faina got the maximum stars from all my family. With 3 children we tasted wide range of "Antipasti" and 5 different main corses. Wow!!! The plates went arund amongst us (sorry, but it is the truth...), and we could not decide which one is the best. Deer, trout, beef, pasta's... All are more than delcious!!! Thanks for its location, the house was not "overloded", we felt ourself "THE VIP GUEST", and not only "one of the customers". The service was perfect as well, very friendly, but was not intrusive or confiding. Pricewise absolutely correct! If You like to drive out of boring highways, you like hills, valleys, and Italian "countryside", You MUSN'T skip this marvellous place! I hope we will come back here again!
