Ristorante La Cascinetta
About
Ristorante La Cascinetta is a family‑owned gem tucked into a rustic alpine villa on the slopes of Mottarone in Vezzo di Gignese. The warm, wooden interiors, complete with a cosy fireplace and a private veranda overlooking the lake, create an intimate dining experience that feels both classic and unpretentious. The menu showcases traditional Italian cuisine made from locally harvested ingredients, from hearty risottos to fresh seafood dishes such as trout and sea bass. A curated wine list pairs perfectly with each course, while the sommeliers in the family proudly present Italian vintages. Vegetarian and vegan options are readily available, and the dining room is fully wheelchair accessible, making the restaurant welcoming for all guests. Late‑night diners can enjoy live jazz evenings in the dedicated “Jazz Corner,” while families appreciate the high‑chair facilities and the open‑air seating that offers a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a relaxed family meal, or a taste of authentic Piedmontese flavors, La Cascinetta delivers a memorable experience against a breathtaking natural backdrop.
