Friggittoria specialita pesce

I was eagerly looking forward to this place as I'm a MASSIVE lover of fish & seafood. Unfortunately I feel let down, it could haven been much much better.It's a tiny place with a couple of tables indoors and 3 benches outside. I wouldn't call it a restaurant, it's more like a takeaway with a couple of seats.Fritto Misto di Mare, which directly translates into 'seafood mixed fry' is supposed to be a variety of seafood and fish (often smelt, sardines, calamari, prawns, crayfish, scallops, lobster, etc...) lightly floured and deep fried served with a fresh lemon wedge. I ordered the Fritto misto and the other half, a non-pescaterian, ordered chicken nuggets. Both were served with fried potatoes, not English chips or French fries but thick cut skin on English crisps/American chips (slices). I expected an assortment of fish and seafood but what I got was 99% calamari rings and tentacles and 3 tiny shrimps. While I am a lover of deep fried calamari, this is not what I ordered. I wanted an assortment of fruits of the sea, I wanted some fish. For 10 Euros, Obviously I didn't expect lobster, scallops or cray fish, but I did expect some fish. I presume the oil wasn't hot enough as both the Fritto misto and the nuggets were very greasy. You can even see the grease in my picture. A bit off-putting to be honest. They were also seriously under seasoned. Not good.What really cemented the fact in my mind that this place is below par is that the fritto misto was served without lemon wedges. A fish/seafood dish served without a citrus fruit is sacrilege. It's just not on. With lemons in abundance in Italy, it's sad that they don't do this. A drizzle of balsamic syrup and packets of ketchup & mayonnaise are no substitute.I feel sad to write this review as the waiter and chef were so friendly and because the reviews are so complimentary but I am always honest on TA. What I was served was below par. I'd expect professionals to do a lot better.I really hope they improve as I've had better fritto misto even in touristic establishments.Grazie... ...

Wauw, what a nice surprise when we entered. The atmosphere was superb, as well has the host and staff. Food itself is reasonable (example: I took the duck which was slightly overcooked for me, but the taste was still great) and price a bit expensive for what you get. However the total experience makes it worth it.

We were visiting Luino market said to be largest in Europe. It was very busy.We were looking for a place for a light lunch. WE were lucky to come across this very good local Italian restaurant. Very atmospheric with lovely decoration in a very old building restored with loving care. It was a pleasant quiet idyll away from the noisy crowds. A very friendly owner made us very welcome and explained the menu and we had a lovely light lunch of genuine home made pizza and pasta. It was reasonably priced. What we really liked was the airy and well ventilated room out of the strong sun and the hustle and bustle of market goers. Would recommend to visitors to Luino. Would be pleased to return and try their extensive menu.Thank you very much for coming to Level! Hope to see you again soon!

Beautiful location and very extensive hotel with grounds that seem to go go on forever on the shore of Lago Maggiore. There is something for everyone here. Formed rock pathways snake through beautiful gardens and rocky outcrops, past the wellness centre and on to the kids play area and multiple swimming areas beneath rock pools fed by waterfalls. It really is amazing.The hotel with many bars and restaurants almost take a back seat to everything else on offer.A must visit if you are looking to stay a while or simply dropping in to break the drive, round trip Lugano - Lugano which only takes a couple of hours anyway.Dear Mr Jock,it's really amazing for us to feel your satisfaction about your hotelstay and about our restaurant!thank you for your beautiful words about our garden, our services, our Location and position: we're really happy to know that you appriciated everything and we hope to see you soon.we wish you a nice day!1your sincerelythe teamCamin Hotel Colmegna

We came because of high ratings on TA but were very disappointed. We expected something special but it was a high-speed kitchen with no creativity. Mixed salad is a bowl with just carrot, salad and tomato (not even dressing), polenta bruschetta is polenta with tomato sauce or ham. Should not be in top-10 of Luino!

Sibilla Pizzeria is one of those gems that have been under my nose for years, but just discovered. It's one of the best values in Lake Maggiore area, methinks. There's really a family owned atmosphere, with some of the friendliest service you'll find in Lake Maggiore area.And man, the pizza is good. I highly recommend the Chips Margherita Pizza, with buffalo mozzarella (the animal, not the city)!!!Although I usually also order meatballs on the side, just because I can. I honestly can't put my finger on why I love the pizza there so much (ingredients? oven? secret fairy dust?), but I do.On a complete tangent, did you know that Pizza Hut once sued Papa John's for misleading advertising for its slogan "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza"? Apparently, Pizza Hut had "scientific evidence" that Papa John's ingredients didn't affect the taste of the pizza. Completely unrelated to Sibilla Pizza, but amusing nonetheless.Back to Sibilla Pizzeria. Not sure if it's because of better ingredients, but they do have better pizza than most.

Trattoria Manzoni offers only the best pizza's for a very cheap. For 4 tasty pizza's , wine and some softdrinks you'll only pay about 40-50 euro's. A steal basically! The staff is very friendly. If you're looking for a great meal without spending a lot, look no further, Manzoni is the place you're looking for!

The quality of the meat is very good and the price is a bit on the higher side. the service is friendly and correct. Also the primo are superb, especially the penne arrabiata. As a bonus after the meal, a grappa or lemoncello was offered. The outside part of the restaurant is in a glass conservatory like and one can overlook the whole square.

Reviewed By Meghan J
With over 500 âexcellentâ reviews and a smattering of âterribleâ my husband and I felt safe in choosing Locanda Garibaldi as a new dining location. Usually in these instances the few outlying bad reviews relate to very specific eventsâ¦a customer felt slighted, the kitchenâs timing was off, the chef perhaps had a rare bad night, etc. However, I really wish we had read through the bad reviews (in Italian) because many of them have common elements, which perfectly capture our night as well.Menu (or lack thereof)There is no menu, and the owner Giuseppe comes over, sits down at your table, and basically suggests what youâll have. (Note: My husband is Italian, and I speak Italian. I have no idea how this process would work with non-Italian speakers!) When asked for details about certain dishes, Giuseppeâs response (in a jovial way) was, âitâs delicious; donât you trust me?â I didnât feel in control at all over my dish selection; however, due to the positive reviews, I felt safe that Iâd probably like what arrived.Food quality/priceIn fact, the food is good, but definitely âcasalingaââ¦think more âGrandmaâs cookingâ rather than âcontemporary cuisine.â Thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with a good home-style dish, but I donât think it warrants the prices charged. In regard to pricing, that too seemed very informal. Without a menu, you canât be certain that your bill wasnât influenced (positively or negatively) by how well you clicked with the owner.Service(This is THE âmake or breakâ element.) As mentioned in other reviews, the owner Giuseppe makes a point to sit down and chat with his customers. And, in fact, after we had finished our meal, Giuseppe returned to our table, sat down and proceeded to talk for at least 20 minutes! By the time he was finished, it was getting late, and we decided to go. I felt what could have been a quiet evening with my husband turned into a table for three.I fully concede that many of the positive reviews are based on exactly the âfriendly and warmâ demeanor of the owners. So Iâd say if youâre the gregarious type who loves (extended) banter with your host, this may be your place. If, like us, you prefer friendly but reserved service and straightforward selection and pricing, I would not recommend Locanda Garibaldi. I wish Giuseppe well, and I appreciate his passion for his work, but this just wasn't our type of place.
