We had lunch at Sunset twice, going up by boat from where we were staying on Lake Maggiore although the restaurant is also accessible by road. Sunset is really a wine bar with an incredible wine list but they serve a small but interesting lunch menu. You can sit out at unpretentious tables by the water under large trees and the food is abundant, very good and reasonably priced. The service by owner Marco and his daughter, is friendly and casual and you feel comfortable lingering long after the food has been eaten.

The place I mean was on the lake front street just north of the high church tower in Pallanza. The reatsrant was small with a tables outside in front and a curtain far privacy. It had really good food and lacked tourists

The restaurant is less inviting when you face it, no outdoor seating, close to the road, but once inside you are treated with everything you need. Very friendly and most of all excellent food. Over a long weekend around the lake this was the meal that was the best to me ! One thing i did not like : the waiter, altough very friendly, insisted on speaking some german words to us, altough we are not germans and my sister in law who was with us speaks fluent Italian, bit annoying. Anything else : perfect !

This is a very meticulous restaurant, everything is done well. I went there twice in three days. Exquisite food, fantastic service, lovely ambiance and very good value, if you are not delighted then you should have not come to Italy? Make sure you book.

After visiting this nicely located restaurant (with a big terrace) again after 2011, I must say: they were able to keep it up on that high level. Basically it's a simple restaurant ... but: the food choices and especially the preparartion/presentation is just great. Personnel is very helpful and nice and the prices are affordable. Recommeded (also for groups) !

Located in a pictoresque ancient village above Lake Maggiore,Ristorante al Cortiletto is the ideal place to find great food while tasting the best wines from all over Italy,surrounded by a warm and friendly athmosphere.

We were pleasantly surprised by this local restaurant close to our rental apartment. Lovely courtyard setting, very accommodating staff and made an effort to make us great vegan dishes despite it being mainly a meat based restaurant. We had a lovely evening and it was very good value

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.

I had the pleasure to be at Locanda Pozzetto several times. They were always good, the food excellent, however this time they went beyond any expectation!Despite they had few problems with some staff not showing up at work that day...we confirmed our reservation. The lady (I assume the owner) who attended on us was basically taking care on her own alone of all tables. Therefore we all were ready to spend some patience and wait...unexpectedly the service turned to be excellent, even better than usual, I thought! Not much to comment about the food: each and every bite was divine, ingredients are among the very best I've ever tasted in my life and the chef really knows how to achieve the best out of those. Servings are very generous and, surprise, prices very very very very very very honest!Locanda deserves to be visited also because of the fantastic location and the stunning view! A kinda Michelin starred restaurant where they know how to treat genuine ingredients and guests...A must try!

Reviewed By Matthias K
Restaurant looks very ambitious but can't proof standard.Service failed to take correct orders and served the wine late after the first main dish. Food also just standard.No excuse, nothing.Don't go there!Dear Matthias,thank you for having visited us and for writing the review; I noticed the brilliance of writing a review even on Google. A tip: I would suggest for the next time to talk directly face to face so we can dialogue and understand what went wrong.Returning to the dinner. You ordered a buffalo mozzarella with Parma ham and your partner ordered bacon with salami and fried dumplings.At the sight of the dishes you both have shown disappointment (you probably did not even understand what you ordered) and at this point you reported to me that you wanted a Caprese instead of ham.Although it was a Saturday night and pretty crowded hall of the restaurant, I did redo the dish in the kitchen trying to please you.The wine you ordered, half a bottle of Morellino di Scansano, arrived 10 minutes after it was ordered. As regard âstandard foodâ I do not even give a comment.The only fact is that you ate (from appetizer to dessert without advancing anything), drank the bottle of wine ordered, paid for the dinner and you did not even say a word of complaint to the undersigned nor hailed out, showing a deep rudeness.Honestly, I do not think we need to go further.Cordially,Andrea

We discovered this restaurant on our way to Luino. It's literally just 5 minutes drive from there. No problem with parking at all. It's a fairly large modern restaurant which is also used quite often for wedding receptions and other festivities. Therefore it is recommended to find out when booking whether there is a large group dining there as well or not. We went on a Wednesday evening fairly early (booked it for 19.00 hrs.) and by 21.00 hrs. the place was full, even without a wedding or reception !!!!!!! Despite this, we (3 people) enjoyed a gorgeous 2 course meal with water and a bottle of wine for just over EU 100 if I remember rightly. Therefore not expensive considering the high quality of the food. Service was great. No complaints at all. And of course, you have the most wonderful view of Lago Maggiore
