Taverna del Pappagallo

Stresa


The Pappagallo is a hive of Italian energy where industrious wait staff practically run between tables and your pizza will arrive in the time it takes you to visit the bathroom. None of this takes away from the quality of the food, which is salt-of-the-earth good, or the professionalism of the service, which is littered with an abundance of polite pregos.

It’s popular with local families, tourists, couples, solitary writers researching guidebooks, or anyone else who wants a fast fix of authentic Italian cibo (food). The seafood ravioli is particularly memorable.
