About
Nestled just 800 meters from the tranquil Eremo di Santa Caterina on the scenic road that follows the "sponda magra" of Lago Maggiore, Trattoria Per Bacco is a centuries‑old family‑run osteria that celebrates Lombard culinary traditions with warm hospitality. The original restaurant, founded in 1926 by the Contini family, continues to offer a welcoming atmosphere for both intimate lunches and larger gatherings.

With convenient private parking that also serves buses and accessible entrances for people with mobility challenges, the trattoria is an ideal venue for business meetings, celebratory feasts, or relaxed family dinners. From classic tagliatelle and hearty polenta to classic Italian desserts, the menu showcases the best of local flavors, complemented by seasonal presentations and a daily cover fee of €2.00, ensuring guests experience quality ingredients and a welcoming setting at a reasonable price. Whether you’re a local resident, a tourist exploring the Lake Maggiore region, or a business traveler looking for a comfortable spot to host a lunch or banquet, Trattoria Per Bacco offers an authentic Italian dining experience that blends warmth, accessibility, and culinary heritage into a memorable visit.
