Sciamba - GAVIRATE

This cafe/bar is about the only good thing in Gavirate in my opinion. Situated right next to the lake it's a clean and unpretentious place where you get good service and very reasonably priced menu. A word of warning they only seem to accept cash according to the notice in the window and you need to have a smattering of basic Italian to order (or you can of course just point out menu items). It was just nice sitting next to the lake enjoying the ambience (although some might find the background radio/music a bit loud it was fine for us). The other bar alongside the lake was closed when we visited early afternoon and so the Sciamba Bar was quite busy with passing trade opening times are 10 2300hrs and there's only outside seating.

Delicious sandwiches and salads, good coffee and cocktails and a great view. Service is friendly and they could help us in English. We stopped here a few times during our stay at Gavirate.

We have stopped off here a few times after walking the dog,coffee and light snacks OK,however the issue is that the couple who run the place both look so unhappy and obviously do not want to be there.It makes you feel very uncomfortable, no nice experience.

Una cura per clienti insoliti. ottime coperte per il freddo e la simpatia. grazie alla bella atmosfera davvero
