Trattoria da Elia e Ugo

"Food portions were huge and taste really great! Menu had a lot of options to select from. They have a pasta cooked with Sea Urchin! We had: Octopus with Baked Potato - a little vinaigrette in this appetizer in which that opens up the taste palette. Seafood Pasta - as the picture shows, super a lot of ingredients and the taste mix was awesome. Mussels with Sea Urchin - an awesome find! The strong taste of urchin blends nicely with the herbs and mussles and the linguine was cooked to perfection (imo). Pistachio Biscuity Cake - Very nice homemade cake with generous serving of pistachio on it and in the cream. Sweet top off to the meal we had :) In short, a great find off a small alley from the main road. Topped off the experience with extremely helpful and friendly staff to us and our dogs :)"

"Fantastic trattoria in the heart of Luino. The food is great, the homemade pasta is really special, and the owners are friendly and happy to share their passion for Italian cooking with every guest. Highly recommended!"

"In short: you have to go here if you want to enjoy an outstanding dinner in a very nice ambience and very perfect service... It is a small restaurant, only 15 places (or so), you should call them for a reservation. We were spending a week here and this is probably our single most culinary highlight! Good selection options both for meat lovers and vegetarians."

"Fantastic hidden gem in Luino! The food? Always amazing. The service? So friendly you’ll feel like family. Don’t be shy—go for the specials, they’re always spot on! If it’s got porcini, it’s got my heart. I loved every bite!"
