Barley House In Gallarate

09/05/2024: Excellent restaurant. Above expectations

28/04/2024: A place of some importance, impeccable service, high quality food and a slightly above average price. But I would make a criticism for the reason of the 4 stars, I took "carpacciata" as a starter (see photo), excellent quality fish but being a bit too abundant as a starter and as a second course the seared tuna which was also excellent but presented like going to a Japanese restaurant I would have preferred a more Italian presentation like I had eaten in Puglia, furthermore I saw other diners taking other appetizers and served them like going to a Sushi in short they bring you small plates with tastings and you find yourself with a table full of dishes, I haven't shared it much because at this point I'm going to eat Sushi in a Japanese restaurant where there is also the same quality and I spend less, to conclude my wife had the octopus on a bed of burrata, the fish always good but the burrata made the dish nauseating or at least that's my opinion, in fact it wasn't appreciated, I'm not talking about the desserts because it's not my habit to consume them in restaurants. It is certainly not a restaurant for my budget to go to regularly but if I return I will have other courses, however I recommend it for a romantic evening and a special occasion.
