Laundromats In Stresa





A Stresa Sights reader asked a good question:

Q. We've rented an apartment in Stresa and are staying a month. Everything is perfect --- except that we wish we had a washer. We are tired of washiig our clothes in the sink! ... Does Stresa have a laundromat?"
A.  I'm happy to inform you that now everything is perfect! Stresa has two laundromats.
1. Easy Wash, located in the center of Stresa very near to the Carrafour supermarket. Easy Wash has free WiFi, a coin machine, free detergent (loaded automatically in the machine), chairs and reading materials. There are large and small washing machines and dryers, and instructions in English and Italian.

What Am I Drinking Today?




My classic, simple Prosecco, in one of my favorite aperitivo seats in town. Buscion, at the corner of via Principessa Margherita and via Cavour. If you are lucky you can get a seat outside. Order your favorite aperitivo, or let Massimo suggest a wine for you. Sit with your back against the glass window of Buscion. Enjoy a plate of little stuzzichini, little appetizers. Watch the people walk by. Follow these simple rules for a very successful aperitivo. And then repeat another day.

Restaurant: Pascia


The exterior of Ristorante Pascia

When I wrote about the Michelin starred and recommended restaurants in and near Stresa recently, I had no idea how soon I would have the pleasure of eating in one. But here I was, spending an evening at Pascia, a one-starred Michelin restaurant about 20 minutes from Stresa, in the town of Invorio.  Pascia is located in a neighborhood that seems almost suburban, in a building that could be mistaken for an elegant house. Instead, it's a very elegant restaurant. So elegant that I felt nervous for some reason. We asked if we could take some photos, feeling nervous even to do that, and so I am able to share the dishes with you. 

Apart from the menu posted on the website, which changes regularly, there were also 'Chef's menus', flights of small dishes some of which were on the menu and some not. There was a traditional flight, which I suppose would consist of more recognizable dishes. We decided, however, to toss caution to the wind and go with the innovative flight. Allora.. here's how the evening progressed.
