Guide to Italy's Lake Maggiore

"A smart piazza-side restaurant favored for both dining and people-watching; Beth Graham says, “I love sitting on the piazza and observing as people go about their day.” It sits beneath a canopy of trees and serves traditional pasta dishes and great seafood—ideal for a light lunch—and also offers substantial dinner-sized salads." - Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath Elizabeth Heath is a writer and editor living on a hill in Umbria, from where she writes about travel in Italy, the rest of Europe, and farther afield.

Amazing saffron and tuna tartare risotto. Bruschetta with porcini a bit too salty. Parmigiana was also salty and the eggplant was not properly prepared and was undercooked. Good wine recommended by staff (by the glass). Overall good experience but some of the food needs extra attention.

Very nice experience. Authentic food, I had something off the daily menu and one item off the regular menu. Both had really homemade taste. Would recommend. To the potato cake: maybe make it smaller and put little salad.

It’s one of few exceptions of super touristic places where you normally think it can’t be a nice food. It is here!! We had lunches two days in the row. Food, service were great. Don’t be afraid of location, it’s highly recommended

Located in a lively square. The atmosphere was welcoming and casual. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! We shared a vitello tonatto which was delicious. I then had house made gnocchi with girgonzola and salsiccia. Very good. My husband had a tuna steak with vegetables. He loved it.

My wife and I recently visited Stresa for some rest and relaxation after a work conference in Milan. While there we enjoyed a delightful dinner at Hostaria Vita. Since, I had not yet had an opportunity to sample the local saffron risotto, I opted for their risotto with tuna tartare and burrata, while my wife ordered the panecchia with asparagus and sausage. Both dishes were delicious, the tuna with the risotto was an amazingly good combination. We added a lovely white wine, Greco di tufo to compliment our dishes. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and the prices were quite reasonable. If you’re in Stresa and looking for a delicious place for dinner or lunch at a reasonable cost, try Hostaria Vita.

Service great, very attentive and fast. Staff is very nice. Romantic and quiet atmosphere even though they have many places. The food is extraordinary good. Angus filet was PERFECT, tender and melted on the tongue. Risotto with tuna Tatar as well. Starters were great too and the wine. All in all worth it and a must go for dinner in Stresa.

I had a nice early dinner there I had the paccheri Genovese and the grilled salmon with salad. Everything was delicious and the service was great.
