Restaurants in Orta San Giulio

Villa Crespi holds three Michelin stars and 98 points from La Liste, making it Italy's most credentialed restaurant in a genuinely unusual setting: a 19th-century Moorish villa on Lake Orta. Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo's Campanian-meets-Piedmontese cooking, metronomic service, and Relais & Châteaux hotel infrastructure make this the right booking for a milestone occasion — if you can secure a table.

A Michelin 1-star kitchen in one of northern Italy's quietest lake villages, Andrea Monesi at Locanda di Orta pairs creative, Piedmont-rooted cooking with one of the region's best terrace settings. At €€€€ with an engaged sommelier and personalised dishes, it earns its price for food-focused travellers — book 4–6 weeks ahead and request an outdoor table.
