Vecchia Capronno — Restaurant in Angera

Well below expectations and food prices were much much higher than advertised on the restaurant’s official website and higher than what is shown on The fork. Average cost per person was 70€ for a dinner that would have seemed expensive at 50€. A 4€ cover charge didn’t help as well and not in line with a rustic osteria in a remote location. As far as food is concerned, the starters, mixed grilled cheeses and assorted cold cut meats were very over priced and embarrassing small portions. The selection offered seemed straight from a supermarket and not what you would expect from a rustic osteria in Italy. Considering we were only one of two tables, service and timing was completely off. For example red wine was served after the first main dish came out. Several of the first course pasta dishes were served cold. Overall very disappointed to have chosen this restaurant for our company’s Christmas dinner. The only positive was the ambience. I suggest this restaurant returns to its modest rustic “osteria” origins, there are plenty of better options in the cities without driving out of the way to come...

The traditional design is absolutely beautiful — every detail feels thoughtfully chosen, from the lighting to the vintage furniture 🪑🪞. It’s a perfect blend of history, warmth, and charm.

In one word: WOW! In more words: literally the best meal we've had in Italy so far. The food was amazing, everything was fresh, clean and expertly prepared. The service was more than great. Our waitress made an effort to explain everything in English. The place looks amazing. It's nicely decorated, there was great music and the overall atmosphere was just right. We will for sure be back. This is a true gem and they definitely deserve all the high praises and awards they've won. Even the pricing...
