Caffè del Viaggiatore
Vittorio and Raza are the perfect hosts. Their menu is small and freshly prepared. There is something for everybody's taste. For bigger groups we suggest to order a selection of entrees and pasta.
La Perla d'Oriente
One might think that once can only enjoy Italian cuisine in Italy. Quite the contrary. La Perla offers since 1990 dishes from the Cantonese and Malaysian cuisine. And the are a real treat.
Stella d'Italia
The Stella d'Italia is a great choice if you want to experience the full package - lakeside dining, excellent cuisine, and a just breathtaking ambiance. The restaurant is closed during winter season.
Bars
Snack Bar Simona Baila
When going to Bar Simona you get everything you expect from an Italian Snack Bar. Slot machine in the corner, aperitivo snacks around 6 o'clock, and many local customers.
King Pub
King Pub is the place that seems to be always open. Should I stay or should I go is the question one asks oneself before going to King Pub. On Saturday nights there is usually karaoke - very enjoyable.
La Pòsa
Super cool bar in Porlezza with amazing live events. Check out their Facebook or Instagram for event information. During the summertime their spacious garden is very inviting.
LSD (Lido San Domenico)
The LSD is a bit of everything and one of our favourite places. Besides being a bar it is also an actual lido. They have lovely food, live concerts, and so on. Check out their Instagram for opening hours and information.
