The gourmet restaurant is located on the lower level of the building, in direct contact with the lake. It was designed in this position precisely because it is ideally the perfect meeting point between nature and cuisine, which is characterized by the use of local products and the best fish from the lake waters. Born in 1981 and reported in the Michelin guide since 1986, since 2012 it has been led by chef Riccardo Bassetti, born in 1982 and Michelin Star from 2017 to 2024, offers gourmet cuisine that is expressed in a tasting menu or à la carte, in which, in a progressive crescendo of flavors and experimentation, the chef tells the story of his territory through the cooking and preparation techniques learned at the court of the greatest masters of international cuisine, and reinterpreted once he returns to his hometown, after many years of experience abroad.

The second gastronomic offer is represented by P&O – Pizza & Oyster, located in the heart of Laveno's historic center, whose DNA is the expression of an idea of Italian hospitality, typical of restaurants offering seafood and excellent pizza: simple, local and traditional, and yet not at all predictable in terms of taste. The claim is clear: Wine, good dishes! The dishes are the expression of the ideas of father and son, Riccardo and Giovanni, who together create a menu that is attentive to the freshness of the raw materials and sustainability to be paired with a good bottle of wine. At P&O even the simplest recipes, such as mash or linguine with clams, are the result of chef Riccardo Bassetti's long French experience, who transforms them into something memorable.
