Ristorante Lo Stornello — Restaurant in Stresa

This is clearly not a michelin table. For anyone used to french michelin table (I'm not talking about stars or anything) please don't be fulled. When a client is asking for a non alcoholic drink and the only thing you have to propose is sprits without proposing anything else when the client is not interested, this is not a michelin.

My wife’s meal was missing ingredients and needed salt, and my fish was just an overcooked brick of nothing special. The shrimp appetizer I had was meh and the shrimp were very undercooked. As I write this I’m surprised that I’m giving it 3 stars because I really had a...

Just passed the antipasti and primi piati stage and for sure I can say this restaurant is a great place to enjoy a piece of Italy . Authentic tasty food with the freshest ingredients. Definitely a must eat. Great wine list with equally high quality service.a slight suggestion would be to increase their portions since the good food must be eaten in substantial quantities Back after 2 years to try this great restaurant. The ravioli with riccota and lemon in prawn broth was excellent. Still tasty well presented dishes but in a salmon trout fillet dish, it's not acceptable to find bone fish because it's dangerous. Service has downgraded since a lot of people are served....
