I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lombardia

06/04/2026: We went to Il Pescatore yesterday for Easter, the second time. The menu was excellent, the same as last year. The private dining room was beautiful, overlooking the garden, and the ambiance was modern and colorful. The price on the menu for all guests was a bit tacky, and the service we received, which as regulars we expected to be different, was disappointing. We received a €20 discount on the €3,120 menu.

28/02/2026: A short story, rather than a review, would be more appropriate to fully convey the experience at this restaurant monument. Indeed, we are dealing with one of the few families—not individuals, but families—who have written the rules of this profession. All this allure leads you to approach us with such respect and curiosity, but also with truly high expectations. Let's clear up any doubts right away: the day was stratospheric. From every perspective. The dishes we savored will certainly be remembered forever, but how could we ever forget the precious time spent talking with Antonio Santini, who honored us with several minutes at the table? For those like me and my friend who love restaurants, it's a bit like a football fan juggling with Maradona. Priceless. The conversation about pumpkin tortelli was memorable, when my companion asked for a sweeter version. With great elegance, the owner explained that the customer shouldn't be a guinea pig in an experiment, but rather recounted the historical evolution of the dish in his family. Then came the masterstroke: from the kitchen came a historic tomato variation, served alongside a classic tortello. The dish was offered. Moving. The service was superb, among the best I've ever seen. The entire staff was commendable, and sommelier Alberto Santin was excellent, recommending a Barbaresco Martinenga 2020 from Marchesi di Grésy, versatile and perfect for the entire meal. I started with the Petit Gris Chiocciole della Pianura with a herb and sweet garlic sauce: elegance, balance, and an irresistible light gratin. Then came the traditional Pumpkin Tortelli with Butter and Parmigiano Reggiano, with amaretti biscuits and mustard. Here, the aim is not to tone down the contrasts, but to enhance them: sweet, savory, and spicy coexist in perfect harmony. Only for the best. For my second course, I chose grilled eel with radicchio from the garden: a dish that speaks to the family's history. The owner summed it up perfectly with one word: ESSENTIALITY. The noble fat of the fish was the star, balanced by the sweet and sour radicchio. Exciting. I finished with the saddle of venison with Cabernet and blueberries, incredibly tender, accompanied by excellent vegetables, especially baby carrots. The final small pastry was followed by a Marsala zabaglione, offered by the owner. We concluded with a 2020 Beerenauslese Cuvée from Kracher, made from botrytized grapes. Thus ended our wonderful experience at Santini's Dal Pescatore. A day that will remain etched in our memories.

A huge thank you to Pablo, who looked after our table with great professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness. His dedication to service and his passion greatly contributed to making this evening even more memorable. A Michelin-starred restaurant that fully deserves its reputation.

14/07/2026: I visited the inn on Sunday for lunch. I was greeted first by an enchanting garden, then by a refined atmosphere, and finally by the attentive and kind owners. The dishes were excellent: fresh, original, and tasty.

13/07/2026: The food is delicious, carefully prepared, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. The place is simply wonderful, and the owners are welcoming and kind. We'll definitely be back!

02/05/2026: We had an amazing evening with great, attentive service and a very well rounded menu with some particular highlights Chef Stefano also came to the tables multiple times, which added to the very good hospitality and experience as a whole. The wine list is also something to look forward to. All in all one of the best experiences in a star restaurant we ever had, we will definitely come back again.

26/04/2026: We chose the recommended tasting menu to fully discover the chef's many specialties! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable; we especially appreciated the sommelier's expertise! An experience to try again!

30/05/2026: Really good oysters, young and dynamic staff.

28/05/2026: A little piece of France just steps from the dock, super-fresh fish, attentive and fast waiters, quality bubbles—she and I are always satisfied and happy. Let us know how it goes. We think it's top-notch.

03/06/2026: Delicious and fresh, but the ordering system needs improvement ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We visited the Passion restaurant in Como and the food is truly fantastic! Everything is super fresh – they cut the cold cuts on site and pack them into crispy rolls or sandwiches right before your eyes, and the portion of mortadella and greens is impressive! The flavor is absolutely amazing. The only downside, which is why I'm taking one star off, is the ordering process. There's only one computer (kiosk) inside, where you place your entire order and then pay at the cash register. People spend a long time considering their ingredient choices, resulting in unnecessary lines. Nevertheless, it's worth being patient for such delicious food!

03/06/2026: The Focaccia was delicious. If you want a quick bite on the boat this is the place to be now you’ll have to wait in line, but I’d say it’s worth it.

09/06/2026: Beautiful location, excellent restaurant and service. The bread and olive oil served were exceptional.

07/06/2026: Excellent lunch in a beautiful location, friendly service, and superb Gragnano spaghetti with clams. Finally, proper spaghetti with clams.

21/04/2026: Excellent, fresh, and flavorful ingredients. A wide selection of wines. Fast and super friendly service. We laughed a lot and had a great time. The place is welcoming, artistically furnished with original 20th-century tables and chairs, restored and refurbished. Well-filled sandwiches and generous platters. Excellent value. We'll definitely be back.

05/07/2026: I can only compliment you on everything... Excellent value for money... I would gladly return.

04/07/2026: We went to Al Sass restaurant for dinner: 5 stars, well deserved! For €30 for the basic menu, we ate a lot...and, most importantly, it was delicious, from appetizer to dessert! The meat was incredibly tender. And kudos to the restaurant for their attention to food intolerances and special needs (they ask for them first thing when you walk in!), which isn't always the case. When we're back in the area, we'll definitely know where to eat!

25/05/2026: Very welcoming place and truly excellent food. We recommend the tasting menu. Excellent wine selection.
