Divided between Piedmont, Lombardy and the Canton of Ticino, Lake Maggiore (curiosity, it is not the largest in Italy, but the second after Garda) remains a «Outside the door» popular from Milanese and Turin, including those of the province. It offers beautiful views – just think of the Borromean Islands – but from a culinary point of view it has great opponents: Lake Como in recent years has seen the opening of great restaurants in its best and luxurious hotels and also Garda which in the last decade has a big leap in quality.
However, there are places worthy of a stop, like those in our gallery, especially since they are located in excellent locations, with terraces that allow you to enjoy the view. And we remain optimistic that in the next few years there will be a positive development, exactly as happened on Lake Como, which has gradually reached levels of excellence.
Also because Verbano is worth a lot. First of all, for the lake itself: the perch is (perhaps) the best ever, the whitefish it is remarkable and there are too tench, pike, trout and burbot to animate typical or revisited recipes. The proximity to the Ossola Valley and the neighboring valleys bring cheeses such as Begging mat and the Mascherpa like the yummy raw ham from Val Vigezzo. From Varese come small specialties such as peaches from Monate he Cantello asparagus. Having said that, it is evident that the premises are also influenced by classic Lombard and Piedmontese cuisine as in the two starred only (Piccolo Lago and La Tavola del Porticciolo Hotel), they range without borders, with dishes of all kinds (and large cellars). Now here are our tips for eating on Lake Maggiore, always beautiful but perfect in June and September.
