Antica Osteria Al Cantinone Luino

Nice and well maintained local, manager helpful and kind. good food, prices in the norm. pleasant evening with friends

To Luino, where certainly there is no wide offer and catering, this is a honest tavern, good food and typical local, right prices in a very characteristic cottage. very kind staff. We'll be back. recommended recommended

A restaurant is supposed to have a cook with a diploma, or at least an idea what cooking means. Terrible, also the quality of the meat itself beyond reality! Cold room and no wifi.

We came here for dinner and loved the cosy atmosphere. There was a fire in the fireplace and the owner played his accordion. We were a bit unlucky to be seated next to a birthday party with 10 or so very loud guests, so that was a bit annoying. The food was delicious, though. My polenta with cheese, honey and walnuts was tasty. The gnocchi with local cheese was light and fluffy and creamy. We love that they serve local fish, the white house wine was very good, and our desserts absolutely delicious. My partner had pear and chocolate cake, and I went for panacotta with chocolate sauce. We then had lavender liqueur, which was very interesting and tasted good as well. All in all a very nice evening out!

The interior is traditional old fashioned, but the food is great. One of the specialities are home made pasta like ravioli, but they also offer grilled sea fish or traditional meat dishes. We recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for simple, straightforward italian dishes excluding pizza. In particular, we liked the ravioli, the grilled fish, and we couldnt get enough of the homemade Tiramisu.
