The Mai family
On the shores of Lake Varese, the Mai family has its roots since the early 1900s.
The in-laws of the legendary "Mariuccia", from whom the restaurant takes its name, pass the reins of the small Osteria to their daughter-in-law and their only son Vittorio. With passion and determination, they carry out a typically local cuisine.
From their union Renato was born, who joined his parents. Later, Liliana joins Renato, his wife, making improvements, expanding the structure and renovating the kitchen.
Subsequently, Riccardo, Enrica and Ilenia, reaching the fourth generation, brought a turning point that transformed the restaurant and the hotel into a point of reference for the meetings of national rowing teams from all over the world, favored by the proximity of Lake Varese, perfect for this sport.
In 2024, with the fifth generation and 100 years of history, the 3 children, Rebecca, Alessandra and Renato, with passion and pride, decide to continue the family tradition... and the story continues...
