"Disappointed. We've been to Stresa on a number of visits for a few years and have had both good cuisine and positive service, hence our repeat custom. Tonight's meal, however, was completely out of wack. On two occasions, once in an appetizer, andanother in a main course, we found what appearred to be pieces of packaging in our meal upon notifying the staff, the headwaiter would on both occasions initially apologised disgruntingly, and then became terse when we expressed our concern about thefind. Secondly, two main courses, the sauteed veal and the lamb ravioli, we're both seasoned in such a way that it tasted morelike a odd Chinese meal than Italian (I'm ethically Chinese and have lived in Italy, there is a difference in cuisine) I'munsure if it was the intended flavour, but that was indeed my takeaway from tonight's experience substantially sub par."
