"We live in Milan and went to Lago Maggiore for the long weekend. The outdoor dining space is very nice and the food was good (though the lobster catalana was definitely overpriced for size). However the staff and customer service left MUCH to be desired. With the exception of one younger waiter, all others were entirely too pretentious, especially for the quality of the restaurant. I would not dine here again as I feel the service was not what is expected for the price."

"We saw an ad on Facebook, and being in the immediate vicinity decided to give this restaurant a try which turned out to be an excellent idea. Beba 's is on the main street of the small village of Ornavasso, parking is easy, and you could probably even come by train, as the station is only a few steps away. Upon arrival we were greeted friendly and had a nearly free choice of seats in the very clean dining area, which is a fairly good interpretation of an American diner. The menu is divided into a standard part with quite economically priced meat dishes and a large choice of imaginatively named and combined pizzas and a separate meats of the world menu with the more exotic (and pricier) items. Following the recommandation of our very kind waitress we chose a piece of Australian meat form the latter menu and it was absolutely marvelous! Before the main dish arrived (we shared), we were treated to a very appetizing snack of gnocco fritto and Coppa. The main dish is served on a HOT stone plate, ideal for slowly enjoying the delicious meat which was cooked to perfection. The 300 grammes of meat fully lived up to the description we have very rarely eaten such tender and tasty meat. It comes as standard with oven roasted potatoes, rice, and a skewer with grilled baby tomato and smoked Scamorza cheese we had asked for an additional side order of grilled vegetables both quality and quantity were more than OK. We finished with fresh strawberries and a lemon sorbet, plus excellent espressos and decided to be back very soon. The bill came to 60 EUR for two, which isn 't cheap, considering that we shared the main dish (but without any regrets two main dishes would have been too much), but considering the quality actually good value for money. A VERY nice touch is that when you sign up for the restaurant 's newsletter, and remember to mention the magic word when ordering, you 're treated to not a welcome drink , but actually a bottle of Prosecco sparkling wine."

"Abbiamo soggiornato nell'appartamento Sofia per tre notti e siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. L'appartamento è al secondo piano, sopra al ristorante ed è dotato di soggiorno cucina con divano letto matrimoniale, camera matrimoniale separata da una porta scorrevole e bagno. La vista è spettacolare, sembra di essere dentro il lago..bellissimo!! Mancavano solo le cose basilari in cucina per cucinare qualcosa, come l'olio e il sale, che dovrebbero essere aggiunte alla dotazione. Molto buono anche il ristorante, con una terrazza bellissima direttamente sul lago e personale molto gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo mangiato un'ottima frittura di pesce di lago e dei dolci spettacolari. Molto consigliato!"
