The story
On the shores of the crystal-clear Lake Mergozzo, in the Piedmont region just a few kilometres from Verbania and Baveno, La Quartina is a restaurant that embodies the spirit of its landscape. The setting is simple and welcoming, a place where the lake’s tranquillity sets the tone for a meal rooted in tradition.
The kitchen focuses on classic cuisine and country cooking, drawing on the rich culinary heritage of the Verbano Cusio Ossola area. The menu reflects the seasons and the territory, with dishes that speak of local ingredients and time-honoured techniques. The atmosphere is informal and convivial, with outdoor seating available for warm-weather dining.
La Quartina’s commitment to honest, well-executed cooking has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that underscores the quality and consistency of the experience. It is a restaurant that rewards those who appreciate substance over flash – a place where the food and the setting work in quiet harmony.
Whether you arrive by bike (the hotel offers rentals for mountain bike and e-bike enthusiasts), after a walk along the lake, or simply for a leisurely lunch, La Quartina provides a genuine taste of Piedmontese hospitality.
