Smeraldo

Lovely restaurant. From the ambiance to the service to the food this place is a must. We had their risotto and it was fabulous. After that I had steak au piovre. I know good steak doesn’t need sauce, but my god that pepper sauce is the bomb! The steak is juicy and tender and the roasted potatoes are delicious and crispy - just the way I like it! The crème brûlée for dessert was also top notch. Service was great. Perfect place to come whether you live nearby or are visiting Lago Maggiore area. Highly recommend!

Es war nicht das erste Mal bei Smeraldo und wie immer war es ein schöner Abend in gepflegter, aber nicht steifer Umgebung mit hervorragendem Essen in Zubereitung und Präsentation. Genuine Italianità.

Sehr freundlich, guter Service , sprechen deutsch 😉, qualitativ hochwertige Speisen und Getränke. Unbedingt vorher reservieren- immer gut ausgebucht. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

I’ve been frequenting this lovely restaurant for over 2 decades now and the food remains top notch. True authentic Italian food! Their risotto is fantastic, just like mama used to make. Then I ordered the filet mignon with green peppercorns. It was outstanding! The atmosphere is cozy and charming. I’m always keeping this place on my short list!

Everything here is excellent - the food, the service, the atmosphere. I have nothing bad to say about Smeraldo. The alpino beef is perfect: flavorful, juicy, perfectly done with mushrooms. Total attention to detail. I can’t wait to return.

Das Essen war seeehr hervorragend. Absolut empfehlenswert.. wir kommen wieder.

Wow. I absolutely love Smeraldo. It's hard to find a super solid mid-range restaurant in Lago Maggiore area. The menu is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect. Their pasta is very good. My go to's are the tagliatelle con i funghi porcini. And you really cannot go wrong with the meat. I had filetto al pepe verde with polenta. Simply delicious! The staff are also super attentive. They obviously care to make your experience memorable. I will be back many times over, for sure!

This is our family's favorite Italian restaurant in Lago Maggiore area. Service was top notch by both servers that we had. They were both super friendly and attentive to us through the entire meal. The consistent quality of the dishes is outstanding! Will definitely eat there again!

Essen ist sehr empfehlenswert und ebenfalls sehr nettes Personal. Kommen immer wieder gerne hier her.

Had a great time! The service and ambiance are incredible. There is a rustic charm that is uncommonly achieved in such an upscale fine dining spot. Great food! I chose the spaghetti and steak au poivre. It was excellent. The beef was tender and tasteful. For dessert, I had bavarese. Phenomenal! I will definitely be a repeat customer at Smeraldo!

Smeraldo is a must have experience. Great food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend.

Ristorante Smeraldo has always been a fan favorite at my house...great food and wine with something for everyone. Nice atmosphere with a casual, cozy feeling. Would highly recommend.

Let me start by saying that my family and I have been going to Smeraldo for years - birthdays, anniversaries,...This place is a trip! Think super old-school, a classic Italian restaurant in Lago Maggiore area! The "Risotto Smeraldo" was delicious. The portion size was pretty big and we had to pack our leftovers to go. I had also the Pepper steak last time and it was tasty, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. This is definitely on my "will return" list when I'm back in Luino area.

Tagliatelle ai funghi porcini molto buone e ben eseguite, anche se devo sottolineare che la quantità di funghi rispetto alla pasta, era un po’ misera. Il piatto avrebbe acquisito più gusto e sapidità

Heerlijk gegeten en ontspannen buiten gezeten. Heel vriendelijke en kundige bediening die goed Engels sprak.

Ottima serata con un ottimo menu e un ottimo servizio 👏👏👏

Tutto bene! We spent a nice evening at the Smeraldo.

Ottima cucina legata al territorio, scelta ampia e servizio puntuale e cortese. Prezzo corretto.

Io vado allo Smeraldo soprattutto per il loro famoso risotto, che è veramente delizioso. Led razioni così abbondanti che poi non riesco a finire il secondo :-(

Wir waren das 1. Mal im Smeraldo und waren voll zufrieden, es hat alles wunderbar gepasst und auch geschmeckt, auch das Personal sehr feundlich., wir werden wieder kommen. Es ist sehr zu empfehlen!

Conveniente per pranzare tutti i giorni . Buono e servizio rapido

Prenotato tramite Quandoo, facile e immediato. Accolto gentilmente e pranzato con una ottima polenta e coniglio. Meno male che ho prenotato la sera prima, altrimenti era tutto pieno.

Ristorante di prim'ordine .Ottimo in tutti i sensi.Il personale gentile e solerte .La scelta del menù varia e in grado di soddisfare tutti..La carta dei vini completa e varia. Ristorante da tenere in conto o G,Confalonieri Milano

riunione di famiglia simpatica e rallegrata dall'ottimo come sempre pranzo tutto cucinato alla perfezione e abbondante... servizio ineccepibile tutto innaffiato da vino e ottima accoglienza

pranzo in famiglia pre pasquale varie le scelte ma tutto ottimo ...come sempre il mio risotto col pesce persico fantastico ..peccato il pasticcere fosse ...scappato alla sua pasticceria di Luino ..niente zabaione. .

Cena gustosissima con piatti originali, in un ambiente che ha mantenuto, ai miei occhi , un fascino Anni '70. Personale cortese, prezzi equilibrati. Quello che ci voleva.

Ottimi come sempre i funghi con polenta deliziosi i dolci e l'ospitalità pranzo di ferragosto all'insegna della buona cucina fra tanti clienti stranieri che sanno dove in Italia si mangia veramente bene

Gentili i proprietari ed il personale. Ottime la varietà e la qualità dei piatti proposti. Da ritornarci, sicuramente, visto anche il contesto della zona in cui il ristorante è situato.

la cucina era buonissima e abondante. la recessione era gentile
