The story
Lo Stornello is located in the historic center of Stresa, a few steps from the Lake Maggiore promenade. The recently renovated interiors are casual but refined, and an elegant summer terrace extends the dining space outdoors, perfect for warm-weather meals. The restaurant’s modern Mediterranean cuisine is rooted in the traditions of the region.
The kitchen works with ingredients sourced from Lake Maggiore, the Ossola Valleys, and Piedmont. Using local products guarantees freshness and high quality, while supporting environmental sustainability. Seasonal availability dictates the menu, resulting in a modern Mediterranean cuisine that captures the flavors of each season. This dedication to local sourcing has earned Lo Stornello a Michelin Recommended award.
Chef Cesare reinterprets traditional dishes with creativity, highlighting the aromas and tastes of the season. The restaurant also offers vegetarian and vegan options, prepared with the same fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Beyond the plate, the restaurant’s central location places guests moments from the lakefront and the area’s historic villas. Lo Stornello also hosts private events such as business lunches and family celebrations. For a different experience, the same group runs Ristolounge Elvezia on nearby Isola Bella, with panoramic terraces.
