Rocca Borromeo, Lake Maggiore

I would actually give two points for the scenic view, but charging €1.5 per person for cover (for coffee and cake) knocks the bottom out. Coffee is a joke. Actually, every Italian should feel personally attacked if something like this were served to him. Cake clearly looks and tastes like a freezer.

The cafeteria of the Rocca is very very nice, so much so that we arrived on purpose by lake (and then on foot in the sun at 1pm) just to have something to eat with friends. I had called to book the same morning but instead of the cafeteria the switchboard of the Rocca Borromeo answered me, telling me that the bar did not accept reservations, so to arrive and take a seat. Too bad that once we arrived at the entrance, the gentlemen of the ticket office did not let us in because there was an event, and the cafeteria is located shortly after entering the walls of the fortress. Telephone operators are decidedly poorly informed and even less professional!

Very friendly staff, the terrace overlooks the lake offering a pleasant landscape. The prices a bit high and the choices limited but considering the context acceptable.

Location with unique and spectacular view! A visit to the Rocca di Angera makes you hungry and this café is perfect for a snack with a slice of cake or a prosecchino before lunch...don't hesitate to stop by!

Just to not give a star. Essential, it offers the right coffee, tea and drinks. The sandwiches are basic and also unsatisfactory. They write bread with oil and it is hard bread to break with your hands .... They write bread with cereals .. but it is white, common bread. The only decent thing was the hot focaccia. No vegetables, no salads. The platter of local cheeses which are industrial cheeses and of no quality .... scamorza, toma and spreadable ... nearby there is a farm with goat cheeses ... The coffee is not good, and the ginseng is unmentionable. I don't know the price ... I didn't pay ... but the quality is really lacking. Pity
