La frittatina era leggera e gustosa, l'acquacotta squisita: la gestione è attenta alla qualità al punto da pensare alla felicità della vita in generale degli animali mangiati, mai da allevamento. Qui si è circondati da circa 300 piante, la maggior parte di Hydrangea macrophylla, nomen omen. Stefania è un'ottima guida alimentare ma anche turistica intorno a questo splendido angolo di Verbano.

Squisito e ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Molto cordiale la proprietaria e con un’attenzione particolare alla natura, anche dei prodotti serviti, di cui una parte derivanti dal loro orto. Location degna di nota, immersa nel verde e con vista sul Lago Maggiore, Verbania, Sasso del Ferro, Besozzo,..

This is a lovely casual restaurant run by a mother and daughter (the daughter is the chef). On a steep hill - you pass through a neighborhood to get there (it is a part of a hotel). Once you find it, it is a very pleasant surprise. Every dish was fantastic - fresh pasta, very nice meat and the dessert might be the best I've ever had in many years. The service was attentive and warm. I would go there again in a heartbeat.
