Piccolo Lago - Verbania

The Piccolo Lago, Marco Sacco's gourmet restaurant, enjoys an exceptional location "pieds dans l'eau" on the tiny Lake Mergozzo, adjacent to Lake Maggiore. The outdoor spaces by the lake are ideal for ceremonies, banquets, and conferences.
Set among well-tended lawns, there are two pavilions, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and a large swimming pool surrounded by teak decking. The indoor dining rooms are divided into a series of different rooms, each one more elegant than the last.
Beyond the reception area is a large room with terracotta floors embellished with oriental rugs, which is a continuation of the kitchen area. The lakefront perimeter of the restaurant opens onto spectacular verandas.
On the glass wall separating the main dining room from the kitchens, the words of Anthelme Brillat Savarin, an 18th-century French politician, intellectual, and gastronome, author of "The Physiology of Taste," have been screen-printed: "The Creator, forcing man to eat in order to live, invites him with appetite and rewards him with pleasure."
A magnificent, pleasant, and welcoming lakeside hotel in a quiet and charming corner of Piedmont provides the perfect setting for exceptional signature cuisine that draws on local traditions to bridge the gap between the past and the future.
Here, Chef Marco Sacco, after many honors and awards, certainly has nothing to prove and can afford to follow his instincts or simply enjoy himself.
The gastronomic offering is top class. During our visit, pampered by the chef himself and exceptional service, we tasted a rich sequence of dishes from two of Piccolo Lago's most representative menus: extremely stimulating, cultured, always perfect dishes that delight and convince.
