In-Depth Information
Located a short walk up the hill from the centre of Stresa, Il Vicoletto serves a
short, but commendable regional menu including lake trout, wild asparagus and
traditional risotto with radicchio and Taleggio cheese. The dining room is modes-
tly elegant with bottle-lined dressers and linen-covered tables, and the local clien-
tele speaks volumes in this tourist town.

Osteria Chiara

Tucked away on a cobbled lane in Locarno, this has the cosy feel of a
grotto
. Sit at
granite tables under the pergola or at timber tables by the fireplace for chunky
pasta and mostly meat dishes. From the lake follow the signs up Vicolo dei Nessi.
