Domenica, ho avuto il piacere di sedermi a pranzo in questo splendido locale situato in un cortile di un palazzo storico del posto. Arrivando al dunque, posso dire che il personale oltre che competente è estremamente cordiale e disponibile. Mi sento di poter dire, che l'impegno profuso nella preparazione di tutte le pietanze da i suoi frutti. Per quello che riguarda in particolare il mio menù, sono rimasto pienamente soddisfatto della entrecôte di Toro, a qualsiasi amante della carne non posso che raccomandarla. Sicuramente, grandi note di merito anche ai primi ed ai dolci ( le mele della nonna, dicono indubbiamente la loro ). A cose fatte, a mio avviso,merita sicuramente una prenotazione!

Ambiente familiare e personale accogliente con piatti di ottima qualità. Abbiamo preso tagliere di formaggi e salumi misti, caponata e i primi del giorno, tra cui tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale e gnocchi fatti a mano con salsa ai 5 pomodori. Da ritornarci!

Osteria tipica, molto carina, nel cuore di Verbania (Pallanza). Il cibo è davvero ottimo, porzioni abbondanti e un buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Il personale è molto cordiale e disponibile. Se volete provare la cucina tipica e non solo recatevi qui! Super consigliato❤️

Brief menu, but excellent food and local wine selection

It is a lovely little restaurant where you fell welcomed. The waiters were very polite and friendly. The dishes were very tasteful and it was noticeable they were after traditional recipes. If you want to experience the Italian culture, I definitely recommend this place.

This was a first meal in Italy and unfortunately we were disappointed. We had heard rave reviews about authentic Italian food and maybe our expectations were too high. The appetizers and cheese board were good but the lasagna was not. I've had better lasagna in the States.

Fantastic food in an authentic courtyard environment. The pasta dishes were some of the best we had on our weeklong visit to northern Italy. Service was a little off - we were in a big group and they just forgot two people’s meals, then never checked in again. Still, food was good enough that I recommend checking it out if you’re in Palanza.

Great food in a lovely courtyard setting. Service is friendly, but there only one person, so there can be some delays.

This was a great restaurant run by very nice people. Food was great and the person serving us was very helpful giving us suggestions for dishes and drinks. They also accommodated my out-of-menu request for a carbonara. Even the chef came to check if we were having a nice meal. Highly recommend. Don't forget to book, if you can. We were in two people. We ordered the oriechette (gorgonzola) and the carbonara. Two glasses of wine and water. Excellent.

Amazing little restaurant away from the touristic places. If you want amazing classic Italian dishes, go here. The place is run by 2 people and so you're lucky to get a table. But if you do, you won't regret it! I had the best carbonara of my life and we made a beautiful connection with the chef and his colleague. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The restaurant is located in a quiet place, has a pleasant vintage atmosphere. We had a quick family lunch, everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly

An extra touch of soul... If you want to taste the real Italian pastas, with a great choice of local wines, in a wonderful place, served by a perfect team, don't look further. The chief cooks with his heart, and certainly the best of the ingredients. Maybe the best restaurant we had in an entire life of big food lovers 😉 don't miss this place, you will for sure remember it.

Beautiful spot nearby the lake. The chef and waitress are really nice and work super hard in order to get you a great meal an evening. We had a real nice experience there and really recommend.

My favorite place to eat dinner in Pallanza. Chef is such a nice man and very passionate about his cooking. The lady who runs the front of house is very friendly and you can tell she loves her job. I always say next time I will order less but always end up stuffed because I can’t turn down chefs carbonara or his delicious eggplant parmigiana. Prices are very fair. You must book in a reservation. While dining I see countless people turned away with no reservation. This is a small local place and chef takes his cooking very seriously. Fino alla prossima estate!

Located in a lovely patio, the terrace is simple but cute with friendly staff. We had truffle carbonara pasta and cheese & pepper fresh pasta. It was delicious!! Nothing super fancy, but good food, generous portions with very fresh products, the pasta were tasty and firm! We had a very good lunch, would recommend

Sylvia Arnolds

Perfect food in perfect surrounding: original Italian food without any touristic touch. Pure and perfect. Note: you only get a table with reservation as it is a small restaurant where quality matters instead of quantity :-)

Piacevole scoperta! Locale intimo e accogliente, il personale molto cordiale e professionale. Abbiamo ordinato un antipasto composto da formaggi misti e due primi. Gli gnocchi alla boscaiola devo dire che li ho davvero graditi, veramente buoni. Buono anche l'altro primo ossia i ravioli del plin. Molto varia la scelta dei vini. Ottimo il tortino al cioccolato. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Consiglio sicuramente.

Cenato in una serata infrasettimana.Ambiente molto bello e caratteristico. Un menu ricercato con sapori curiosi ma piacevoli al palato. Rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono. In due 50 euro per un super antipasto (mozzarella con arancie), un primo, un secondo, bicchiere di vino, due acque. Non ho dato 5 stelle perché il servizio è stato lento. Lo ho fatto notare alla cameriera e ha gestito molto bene la lamentela. Brava. Consigliato.

Storico locale di Pallanza a pochi passi a piedi dal lungolago. L'osteria è situata all'interno di un cortiletto molto carino, per cui durante la bella stagione è possibile mangiare fuori. Il menù offre piatti rustici della tradizione culinaria italiana, per cui ricette semplici e gustose. Non conoscendo la rotazione effettiva dei piatti, segnalo che al momento della nostra visita si percepiva una certa ispirazione romana nella proposta dei primi (maccheroncini all'uovo alla gricia e cacio e pepe in foto - molto buoni). Gentili le cameriere e simpatico lo chef proprietario, che non disdegna due chiacchiere fra i tavoli di tanto in tanto. Prezzi assolutamente onesti e in linea con la qualità degli ingredienti. Ci tornerò alla prossima occasione!

Ottima Osteria ,nella parte interna di Pallanza, con corte all'aperto molto intima. Ottimi i piatti ,semplici ma ben cucinati,abbondanti e gustosi. Simpatici i proprietari e molto disponibili. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo

Abbiamo passato una bella e piacevole serata tra amici. Il ristorante è all'interno di un cortile allestito con gusto e sicuramente da approfittarne nella stagione più calda. Abbiamo apprezzato le portate che lo chef ha preparato con cura ricercando sapori non soliti. Ottimo il servizio che e la cortesia del personale che è stato attento sin dal primo contatto telefonico, fino al nostro commiato. Apprezzatissimo.

It's authentic but not amazing. I'm not sure "amazing" is in the area but this is a multi course experience that has some nice surprises up its sleeve.

Angelo

A rustic restaurant with a rich and tasty menu as well as witty and humourous owners. Every dish is prepared on the spot in the small but efficient kitchen, with fresh ingredients. Enjoy dinner with a good wine and do not forget dessert (pears and gelato, maybe?) and coffee.

Had a quiet and nice lunch in the inner courtyard. I imagine it's generally a good place for families with kids who want to get a bit of distance from the busy promenade. Pasta dishes were good. Good prices too.

I had selected this restaurant by checking the score and reviews. However, it is really overrated. The food and atmosphere were average.

Il personale è davvero gentile e accogliente, niente da dire sul servizio. Purtroppo il cibo è stata una grande delusione. Avevamo ordinato la pasta all’amatriciana, ma quello che ci è arrivato non aveva nulla a che vedere con il piatto tradizionale: menta, olio d’oliva di scarsa qualità, pancetta bruciata… assolutamente non un’amatriciana. Peccato, perché lo staff è simpatico, ma la cucina non è all’altezza.

Stephan Eichenseher

We tried to have dinner there two times, but each time their credit card machine did not work. It's a shame we missed it, because the place and the menu looked great.

We were here today and it was okay but we would not recommend going there. We ordered 3 starters and they forgot two of them. The one starter we got was okay but not something special. The salami was still with the skin, everything seemed a bit careless. Water bottle was simply put on the table. Not a problem, but in total not a breathtaking experience. The dish we ordered as a main (Tris pasta) was good, but again we had the feeling we could do it better by ourselves. Very oily. No one asked if everything was alright, we had no water anymore, we had no pepper and no salt. The wine we had was really good. All in all not satisfying, not more than average and we do not know how this restaurant comes to the good reviews. Not vegetarian friendly.

Good food but terrible, terrible service. It took more than 45 min to take our drinks. Unfriendly sevice, way to expensive, half glasses of wine. I would not recommend this to anyone.

La mia esperienza in questo posto è stata pessima. Non mi è piaciuto il locale, sa tanto di vecchuime, con specchi sporchi, tavoli troppo alti per le sedute che hanno, la signora che serve ai tavoli piuttosto antipatica ma soprattutto il cibo che ho scelto, le lasagne alla bolognese. Ho pensato che essendo un' osteria, le lasagne le cucinassero bene, con tanta besciamella e tanto ragù, come da tradizione. Ed invece mi arriva un piatto che già solo dall' aspetto non era per niente invitante, sembrava ricoperto da una patina opaca. Nel tagliare con la forchetta la pasta mi sono resa conto che la sfoglia in fondo è dura, secca, come bruciata. La lasagna era tutta e soltanto pasta, senza gli ingredienti che la contraddistinguono. Cerco di mangiarne un po' nonostante tutto, ma dopo qualche forchettata non ce l' ho più fatta. La signora mi chiede se è tutto a posto ma sono stata sincera e dico che non mi è piaciuta per niente. Ha visto il piatto quasi pieno. Infine mio marito prende il caffe, non è stato possibile averlo macchiato con latte caldo perché noi avevano a disposizione la macchina per scaldare il latte. Bastava scaldare il latte con un pentolino. Alla cassa mi aspettavo di non dover pagare interamente il mio piatto, se fosse stata signora non l'avrebbe fatto pagare assolutamente. Invece la mia lasagna non mangiata mi è costata 16 euro!

Unfortunately, our experience was not positive from the very beginning. The service was quite slow, and the staff made us feel as though we were not welcome. When the food arrived, I ordered a lasagna that was extremely dry. I asked for some olive oil to go with the bread, and the chef responded rather rudely, questioning what I would use the oil for and saying, “this is not how we do it in Italy,” before reluctantly bringing it to the table. I understand that each place has its own customs, but politeness and hospitality are expected in any culture — especially in a restaurant that welcomes tourists.

Rochelle Charles

The food was not bad. However the bread was stale and old.The behaviour of the service staff was shocking!!!The only two waiters there, spent the entire evening talking with friends at the table next to us. The other tables with people were left completely unattended.
