About

Il Clandestino is a Michelin‑star‑qualified seafood restaurant tucked into the historic "Stresa" quarter, overlooking the pristine waters of Lake Maggiore. Founded in 2007 by Chef Franco Marasco—who brings 25 years of experience from some of Italy’s most celebrated kitchens— the menu blends traditional Italian staples with bold, Mediterranean flavors and a touch of international flair. The gracious, table‑service setting accommodates both intimate dinners and small groups, and the kitchen offers dedicated gluten‑free options. Guests often remark on the attentive staff, impeccable wine list, and the relaxed atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. Reservations are highly recommended and can be arranged by calling +39 0323 30399.
