Marconi Beach Stresa

Our hotel restaurant was fully booked and very snobby about it (Grand Hotel Borromees) so we walked across the street to this bar with food. Lovely atmosphere with lighting and chilled music from 1 speaker so not intense. The menu was just what we wanted pizza, pasta, lasagne, ravioli but not made over fancy like many of the top restaurants in Italy. Our pizzas were the best we have tasted so far in Italy quite a surprise! The base wasn’t thin but crispy and not soggy, lovely 4 cheeses. Our salads were to die for. Prosecco wonderful at €25 a bottle. What’s not to like? Such a pleasant surprise and would thoroughly recommend!

A lovely experience of having dinner while feeling you were floating on the lake. Good variety of food and drinks and friendly staff.

Having visited Marconi Beach on a previous holiday in Stresa, and loved the setting by the lakeside, we decided to go again. On being shown to our table by the waitress, the first thing she handed us was a QR card for ordering. On saying we didn't have a smart phone, she brought us the menus, but as we were only having drinks, we didn't look at them. We ordered a coffee and a Coca cola which came fairly quickly. We noticed they had been sitting on the bar for a few minutes before we got them. There was only one member of staff on and she seemed a bit harassed as the place became busier. The setting of the beach bar makes up a bit for the slow service, but for anyone with mobility problems or in a wheelchair would find it difficult to access it.

Location a due passi dal lago, con le onde a sfiorare il tuo tavolo. Poca attesa per noi nel pranzo del 2 giugno. Siamo stati accolti da personale ultra professionale e cordiale. Abbiamo potuto pranzare col nostro cane. No menù cartacei, quindi porta con te un cellulare. Mangiato pizza, insalata di polipo e 3 birre alla spina (piccola e due medie); cibo buono e costo corretto: 40€. Il top è comunque il panorama e la gentilezza con sorriso de personale.

Consigliato! Buona vista sul lago per fare un aperitivo. Cocktail molto buoni. Il prezzo è elevato (10€ circa a drink) ma ti danno anche una serie di stuzzichini (patatine, tramezzini, e altro) che ne ammortizza il costo. Camerieri simpatici, gentili e disponibili!
