Osteria Mercato

Very nice Italian restaurant with original dishes, a bit hidden from the touristy zone in the city center. The Antipasti Creme Brûlée parmesan and fried zucchini flower with BBQ sauce and the pasta sauces were very delicious. We arrived 20 min before the opening hours and were offered to the seats in the outside right away. Soft and pleasant music in the background. We really enjoyed the dinner there and would highly recommend to our friends who come to Lago Maggiore.

It was a wonderful restaurant with delightful service. I had homemade pasta with ragout and truffle, and it tasted absolutely divine. The location is discreetly tucked away from the main tourist areas, which is reflected in the types of guests: stylish and with impeccable taste.

Great place for a dinner, a few meters from the pedestrian streets. All the dishes were excellent and service was very nice. A special mention for delicious pasta and beef.

Rule No. 1 please do your reservations first to avoid disappointments. The food is succulent and very very nice. The asparagus with egg and shaved truffles is very nice and fresh. Dessert and wine selections are good as well. Enjoyed dinner here with friends.

Simply amazing!
The restaurant is very busy, for good reason, so be sure to secure a reservation. To say the food is incredible would be an understatement.
One of the best meals we've ever had.
The foie gras and veal Milanese were unforgettable.
The staff was friendly and attentive, but admittedly very busy, so be patient with your servers and know that the wait is well worth it!

What a fantastic place! Came with a group of friends and had an amazing meal. We had starters and either a pasta or meat dish. The starters were decent but the magic happened in the main course. The pasta (cannelloni) was outstanding, the lamb shank also was incredibly tender. The duck breast had a delicious glaze over it. We had 2 ghemme as well which were outstanding. The cheese selection had a great variety and each gave a new taste, not overpowering. The cheese cake and lemon tart were good. Staff was super helpful and efficent! Fantastic!

Very nice reastaurant with friendly and efficient service. We had a fantastic starter and the main dishes were very nice too. Good wines and very pleasant atmosphere.

The front of the restaurant is positioned at the edge of this parking lot and so you have no idea how cool it is both inside and in the outside terrace. One of the best meals we ate in Italy and probably my favorite pasta overall great service as well and a very interesting menu at reasonable prices highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious! The seafood was well cooked. We had the scallops, seabass and two pasta dishes. The stuffed ravioli with fish was one of the best pasta I've had in Italy thus far. Good service and good ambience as well!

I would say as an overall rating superb, but it would sound too much, so amazing it's enough. food was super tasty. The few dishes on the menu prepared you for a tasty experience. The lamb cutlet was cooked to perfection, while the asparagus filled ravioli were rich in taste without too much salt being used. Definitely I recommend. Reasonably priced and service was knowledgeable and knew to explain the menu dishes.

Simple dishes but made absolutely precisely. Maybe not the cheapest place in the area but it is worth the price. Risotto was brilliant!

We were given a warm and friendly welcome, and a complimentary glass of Prosecco, and an amuse bouche which was a deliciously tasty arancini with a cheese sauce. The menu is short but varied and we both enjoyed delicious pasta as primi and then the second I were perfectly cooked and flavoured, venison and lamb respectively. The portions were well sized so that we had enough room to share a pudding. Superb service and a wonderful meal. Thank you.

Yummy, authentic, nice staff and atmosphere

One of the best places I have eaten in Italy, the service was fantastic, the house wine excellent and the food perfect. We started with raw amberjack with soy mayonnaise. The fish was fresh and the soy mayonnaise balanced, with just the right tartness to highlight the amberjack’s creamy texture. Highly recommended but book a table to be sure of a place.

Had a fabulous meal of veal, risotto. Local red wine they recommended was very good, along with the desert. Staff was very helpful and friendly

Fantastic experience! Great wine, delicious food and very kind service.

Every course was delicious! And the service was great too. Best meal I’ve had so far in Italy on this trip

The best Lamb ravioli I have ever had. Cozy , friendly and a great experience out

It is a hidden gem that locals has been hide from travelers!! Service was lovely, food was perfect and creative. I would come back to the lake coz of this place.

Inspiring menu, great welcoming service and delicious wines by the glass. Try the creme brûlée with poached eggs or any pasta.
