"We had a wonderful evening at our first visit at Innominato. Amazing food! The appetizers, the meat and the side dishes were truly delightful and the wine a perfect match. Sebastian and his team are service minded and competent hosts, we look forward to coming back."

"Il innominato has only just opened, but has quickly become my favourite restaurant in Lesa, and it is definitely one of the best on the lake. It’s obvious that they use only top quality products in the menu; the plates are simple and straight forward which really lets the quality shine through. Aside from the impressive wine list with great whites from Friuli and Piedmont reds, they have seriously good classic cocktails. My favorite orders: To drink: Sebastian’s Dirty Vodka Martini, stirred with Beluga Vodka and Bordiga Extra Dry Vermouth. I ask for 2 olives. By the glass white wine- Ribolla Gialla To eat: Ceviche made with fresh Salmerino Alpino, chili, lime, and coriander Grilled Octopus on a bed of Romesco sauce Grilled Irish Lamb The atmosphere is cool but refined and the restaurant is beautiful inside and out. The view speaks for itself as it is right on the water ! All of it is beautiful but I highly recommend sitting under the portici, the lighting is beautiful !"

"What a lovely restaurant. Far from the usual pizza and pasta, it offers Italian cuisine at the highest level. The restaurant is not even two weeks old, yet it already exudes so much charm and charisma that you’re guaranteed to enjoy your evening. It’s also very family-friendly – we were there with two children (aged 4 and 7). I can highly recommend this restaurant. Many thanks to Sebastian and his team – keep up the great work!"

"A really, really nice evening at this new restaurant in Lesa. We sat outside only a couple of meters from the lake and enjoyed the atmosphere, the extremely serviceminded staff and excellent food (cerviche, tomahawk and the restaurants, spceial dessert prepared at the table - yummy!!!). Shared a splendid bottle of Rolando sparkling and a fantastic, classic -and friendly priced- Barolo from Ellias Sandri. Next time I think we will reserve a table inside - the interior here is super cosy! Cadeau"

"Had dinner here on a recent 3 day visit to Lake Maggiore. I believe it only opened a few days ago but you wouldn’t know it. Very friendly and passionate staff. Can sit outside on the waterfront and take in the view of the lake. The menu is simple but often less is more. I had the lamb rack, roasted potatoes and corn on the cob and my partner had the beef slices, grilled leak with Parmesan and roasted potatoes. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and delicious. We then had grilled pineapple and ice cream for dessert which was also lovely. Very much recommended."

"I really recommend this place. The menu stands out from the usual local spots – it’s clear, healthy, and very high quality. The vegetables are fresh and flavorful, the meat is excellent, and the wine is a great match. The design feels cozy with nice attention to detail, and the staff are attentive and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back and suggesting it to friends."
