Vecchia Arona

Dined in, lunch menu. Visited for Easter, set menu, great options, friendly and professional staff.

Took us about 2h 30m to go through all the servings, wine selection was ample and the service was 5*. The servings were coming out at the right speed, didn't feel rushed. The chef came out to greet us which is always a nice touch.

Starters to dessert, everything was great and very well cooked, one of the dishes had tuna and I must say it was the best tuna I've tried, soft and not dry at all, it was literally melting in your mouth.

Cost wise it wasn't excessive and well worth the price when you consider the quality of the food, the location and the service.

If you're driving, there's plenty of parking space in the area.

Great place for a family lunch/dinner. Enjoy.

We stopped in for some lunch randomly, reviews are accurate, lovely area, picturesque views of the lake, food was lovely, we had the Bolognese with fish and the ravioli, followed by the creme Brule.

Bolognese was on point, not quite my flavour but any seafood lovers would enjoy.

Ravioli was awesome, definitely deserves its spot on the menu.

Creme Brule was lovely, good crunch and some unexpected fruit at the bottom had some Xmas vibes going on.

Highlights were the wine list lots of lovely choices, Amarone options while expensive did make me reconsider if I needed to leave town, aka maybe I'll finish the bottle and stay the night in town! , if you do order some desert, try some of the A.A Italian Rosso Moscato, super exquisite!

One of the best restaurants in Arona, stylish, with great food, Michelin style. Good location on the Promenade, terrace with lake view.

Tables on the lake front sidewalk are amazing, food is very very good! Veramente soddisfacente!

Heading home to Switzerland, and had to stop for lunch, saw at google and have no regret! Food, Staff, Price deserve to get ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ciao everything was good but the cremino, which I think it is not worth it, but we really appreciated the small tastes between dishes. Staff was polite elegant and available

Raw sea but also fresh water fish is amazing !

Best Fish Soup ever!
One of the best places you can have dinner on the lake.

The service is very attentive, friendly and professional. They complied with our every wish. The food was amazing and we enjoyed every dish of the menu and delicious wine. We were lucky to sit directly at the lakeside promenade with direct view to the water. They have consideration for any kind of food intolerance and adjust the dishes in a fulfilling way. A reservation is recommendable.

I love this restaurant and visit them every time I go to the lake.

We had a delightful meal in beautiful Arona by Lake Maggiore. Very attentive service. Delicious dishes. I had a fish ravioli that was very unique, followed by a traditional chicken and shrimp dish. Both were ver good. My husband had mushroom risotto and a beef and mushroom dish. The place was full of locals. Obviously well loved. But I suggest a reservation! With one, on a nice night you can eat right by the lake.

I have rarely felt everything was right at a restaurant.
The location is gorgeous with the lake view.
The service perfect: the staff was always present without being pressing, and made us feel comfortable.
The food beautifully plated (as you can see from the photos) and very tasty.
Lastly, the value for money is fair.

Will definitively come back!

A very great restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we were constantly asked if everything was ok. The food was very good and fair for the price😬

Great service
Perfect sea food.
Very good dinner with perfect wines

Love this little restaurant. This is a non touristic restaurant serving lovely tasty food. This is the second year of visiting here and was not a disappointment.

Very romantic setting with a good choice of menu and pairing wine. great dining experience

Now known as the enoteca, has strange hours, but open for lunch especially on Saturday and Sunday, for aperativo on these days and also Friday through to Sunday for evening drinks and nibbles. It is one of the oldest places which still remain in the family. Marilou and Liugi are wonderful hosts. Very ecclectic indeed.

We were surprised to find such delicious food in small city. Definitely Michelin quality.

Great food, amazing taste, lovely atmosphere

Great food and service
