A cut above the myriad pasta/pizza places that haunt Stresa’s town center, this fine-dining restaurant is where all the Italian locals go. Its owners, the Bellossi family, are serious about food and wine, especially Piedmontese ingredients and wine (hence the restaurant’s name). Dishes such as porcini risotto, fresh pasta with meat sauce, and duck confit star on the menu, with fish and game options changing according to the season. You can dine either in the elegant wood-paneled main restaurant or, in warmer months, outside in a shaded courtyard.
