After getting dinged for 4 euro, 6 euro, 8 euro table charges, finally a restaurant in Italy with no table charge! You see this restaurant the first thing you step off the boat on Lago Maggiore at Baveno, Italy, as it is right next to the ferry building. Waterfront restaurant serving pizza and Italian pasta dishes, besides the usual sandwiches and ice cream. Eating under the sun umbrellas, watching the ferries landing and passengers disembarking, all while enjoying the scenery of the deep blue waters of Italy's second largest lake, surrounded by mountains rising straight out of the waters. Get too close to the ferries and you will inhale the diesel engine fumes, coming out of the back. Came here twice for dinner, as the food was the least expensive we could find, at 6,7 or 8 euros per dish, and of average quality. Plastic tables and chairs, but at that price, who cares. First time had spaghetti bolognaise, with a healthy portion of ground beef, while the wife had the ravioli, a tourist favorite here. Second time had spaghetti, while the wife had eggplant parmigiana, I think. Both times ordered 4 euro sparkling water -hey they have to make money somehow! Final time here, sat next to a table of 4 French adults. Midway through our meal, two of them closest to us light up cigarettes, smoking up my hair and clothes. You are no longer in Sunnyvale buddy. It is what it is. Bathroom is on the other side of the adjacent ferry building, and surprise, is free to the public, complete with toilet paper and toilet seat, both of which can be occasionally missing in Italian public restrooms! Come here at night to eat in the summer, and the mosquitos will eat you for dinner! read more
