The story
Perched in the small hamlet of Montrigiasco above Arona, Strattoria brings a refined take on Italian contemporary cuisine to the shores of Lake Maggiore. The restaurant occupies a quiet square, Piazza Angelo Gnemmi, where a terrace allows guests to dine outdoors during fair weather – a setting that suits the understated elegance of the place.
Strattoria’s approach has earned it a place in the Michelin Guide, listed as Recommended for 2026. The guide’s inspectors note a kitchen that balances modern technique with respect for Italian traditions, though the restaurant’s own website is currently being redesigned and offers only essential details: opening hours, a telephone number, and the promise of a new digital experience.
The menu is divided between a full à la carte and a more compact Bistrot offering, suggesting flexibility for both special occasions and lighter meals. The dining room is air‑conditioned, and the service is professional yet warm. With Tuesday as the weekly closing day, Strattoria welcomes guests from Monday to Sunday for lunch and dinner. For now, the best way to discover its contemporary Italian cooking is to call ahead and book a table – the view and the kitchen speak for themselves.
