I rated this location as 3 stars for several reasons. First, we reserved a table on their website which was easy and worked well, but once we go up to the restaurant parking was nearly impossible. One of the waitresses had to let me park behind her car otherwise there were no other parking available. Once in the restaurant it is nice and clean. They charge you 1,50€ per person bread and service according to information on their menu, however we received no bread and service was limited. As for the food it was nothing special. I had the lasagna with sausage and afterwards my stomach was not well. My wife had an appetizer which she said was okay, nothing special. Our son had the noodles with ragou and it was quite small being an adult portion. Our daughter had the kids schnitzel and that was probably the largest meal on the table. The pictures I posted are deceiving due to how close i held the camera. At the end of our meal we spent nearly 80€. Being that we had far superior meals at other restaurants in the area where we are staying and paid about the same, this was extremely disappointing for the price and the effort to get here.

Great location, amazing food and magical atmosphere but the thing that makes this such a good place is the staff. All of the people are incredibly helpful and generous with their time and advices. The owners, Massimiliano and Sebastian, very often pass their time with every customer telling their story and giving suggestions about places to visit. They are really passionate about their job and you can see that from the way they take care of you.

Thanks for making our visit to Lake Maggiore so good.

Grotto Carza was a fantastic find! At the restaurant they have a simple menu focused on what’s locally available, in season and delicious. The owner was fantastically welcoming as well. We didn’t take advantage of “wonderwood” which looked amazing for kids and adults alike, they also have a small offering by the area with drinks/ snacks/ focaccias and deck chairs outside if you don’t want to eat at the restaurant. We hiked up from Cannobio but it looked like an easy drive and there’s plenty of parking available.

Great service and fantastic food. They have a large selection of Italian dishes and sweets.

This is a hidden gem, off the tourist track with stunning views. We enjoyed more than one beautiful meal here when we visited the area and were blown away by the fresh local menu and fabulous service. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and I was pleased to see how many families were enjoying the restaurant too. The ingredients for the dishes are sourced locally, for examples blueberries from just 1 km away, delicious and great value too.
The other wonderful thing about Grotto Carza is Wonderwood - I was on a trip with two of my friends and we came back specifically to experience the woodland adventure course. This is something for anyone with adventurous spirit and we loved it. I'm definitely coming back with the whole family to go again. Thanks for making our weekend break such a memorable experience.
