Surprisingly good thin-crust pizza straight from the wood-fired oven. Enjoy them lakeside
beside the weeping willow, but watch out for the pushy, pizza-loving ducks!
Osteria di Mezzo

At this intimate
osteria
a con-
stant stream of hearty meals heads into a dining room lined with antique mirrors and
weathered stone. Pumpkin gnocchi, grilled perch, and rabbit with smoked ham and prunes
are just some of the delights to choose from.

Go with the flow in this elegant trattoria where Rosanna Faè and Gianni Briarava
have been turning out contemporary, local cuisine for 25 years. Say yes to the parade of
mixed antipasti - the zucchini souffle in a puddle of melted mountain cheese is delicious -
and the homemade pastas with seasonal finferli mushrooms. Then you'll have to agonise
over the rabbit in cognac or the grilled lake sardines, before crashing out at dessert and
petit fours.
