Mirafiori & La Terrazza — Restaurant in Baveno

A total tourist trap. The first course of fried small fish was tasty, and so was the bread they served. We ordered seafood carbonara, and it was far from fresh and rubbery—it was obvious it had been frozen.

The second dish was handmade pasta with anchovy sauce. The portion was tiny, and it tasted awful, leaving a bad aftertaste—definitely not fresh. We sent the dishes back, and they said it was no problem, so we ordered ravioli and pasta with duck instead.

They brought us gnocchi instead of ravioli, and it was clearly from a can. No doubt about it. We had to spit it out—it was completely inedible. The duck dish was confusing; there was barely any meat, just some minced stuff with low-quality store-bought pasta and tasteless grated cheese on top that felt like grated tofu.

The whole time, the owner sat on the side with her accounting books open (already a bad sign) and didn’t say a word, even after I spoke to her. We paid and left. Don’t go near this place—it’s a...

The waiters aren't friendly at all and the food is of bad quality! My boyfriend started to talk in spanish with the waiter and his response was very harsh and not nice at all!! We ordered two calzone which weren't that good and contained canned vegetables! We asked to change the table before we had our food and they told us that we can't because someone else is going to sit there, which never happened. When we asked again after eating, he said we would have to pay a fee for the table cleaning! We drank to bottles of wine so we left a lot of money at the restaurant and they charged us even more because we changed ham to prosciutto which of course is more expensive but not that much. We talked to the manager and he started to speak in a very loud voice and very unrespectful so that everybody could hear it. We didn't feel welcome at all and deeply regret spending so much money at the restaurant!! Don't go there, there are much nicer...

We had a meal here last night with our two children and young baby. The food was delicious however the service was disappointing and we found the waitress rude and dissimissive which was such a shame as to setting and food was good.

We waited over 60’minutes for someone to take our initial drinks order (I was understanding that it was a busy period) and then after this point I asked politely and was given a rude ‘in a minute’response and then she never came. Our children were hungry and I was feeding our baby so the whole experience was in contrast to other restaurants who have been attentive.

After this I managed to ask another waiter who came and took our order abit later and was pleasant. We then had a tasty meal but generally felt we had to request any service. I would probably recommend going to another restaurant over this one due to...
