Il Vicoletto

Loved this cozy restaurant enough to dine there twice during our short stay in Stresa. Service was impeccable, food was delicious. You must make reservations.

Soooo happy we went here! It was tough to find a nice restaurant in Stresa (the surrounding areas have some lovely gems, but we were on foot so limited in location). The food was well done and the wine list wonderful. Loved the understated (yet lovely) atmosphere. There are probably 15 tables in the entire restaurant… we walked in on a Sunday night but reservations are a better bet!

Simple high quality food. Great wine selection. Both food and wine were well priced. Best restaurant in stresa. Hard to get in so a reservation is a must.

Highly recommend this restaurant. It is not touristy, the menu is small but the dishes are all great, especially the pastas. We ate there twice on our recent trip to Stresa. The wine list is nice and very reasonable.

This restaurant was one that I found recommend by our hotel and Trip Advisor. Our hotel owner let us know that the owner of the restaurant is the cook, which means most likely it will be good. This restaurant is a white table cloth Italian fine dining experience. It is very small and well liked so definitely be sure to make reservations in advance, we saw people coming in and making reservations for the next day. There are a couple of tables that you can reserve outside as well. They have a nice wine selection and the food was fantastic. Our favorite dish was the pesto risotto (for min of 2 people). The best dessert was the home made peach cake. I am not a cake person and usually avoid cake, but everyone in the restaurant was getting this, and the waitress said it was her favorite. I was hesitant, but ordered it, and was so happy I did. It is the best cake I have ever had. The restaurant is dog friendly and the staff are super friendly. They even brought a bowl of water out for my dog.
