AI Faraglioni In Olgiate olona

A historic restaurant. Beautiful, welcoming, and refined. Thank you so much.

We had a great time with my colleagues, the pizza was excellent, and the waiters were very friendly. Well done. If I really have to find a flaw, the chairs aren't very comfortable.

I had the pleasure of trying this restaurant for a birthday party. The staff was truly friendly and always available. The atmosphere was welcoming to everyone, with good food and especially excellent desserts. I will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of an acquaintance, but I have a few criticisms. First of all, I ordered the "Ventaglio di mare" appetizer, which was all good, except for the fact that I didn't like the surimi in the seafood salad portion, which gave me the impression of frozen rather than fresh produce. The marinated anchovies tasted too much like vinegar; otherwise, I wasn't entirely satisfied. Another diner ordered the tuna tartar, but it had too much oil and lemon; it should be plain to fully appreciate the flavor of the fish. It's up to the diner to add whatever they want, if they want. The raw fish with fried gnocco was excellent, while the fried gnocco could be better. The swordfish was excellent and cooked to perfection, and the grilled cuttlefish was good but nothing special. The staff was friendly and efficient, and there was nothing to complain about. The atmosphere was very casual, and the food was good for people with no expectations. In conclusion, I enjoyed it, but not entirely satisfied.

Excellent menu, excellent food quality, really good pizza. Friendly and helpful staff.

Found by chance late one winter night on my way back from Germany more than ten years ago, I am now a loyal customer. When you enter they welcome you like one of the family, and make you sit in the large room divided into various areas where couples, families, small and large groups find their most appropriate location. The open door to the kitchen, the table displaying the excellent products of southern Italy (Gragnano pasta, extra virgin olive oil) and the fish display make you understand that the quality and range of gastronomic offerings are high. You can range from Neapolitan pizza with excellent products (buffalo mozzarella, broccoli, marinara) to the offerings of the excellent restaurant and grill. Don't miss the Faraglioni appetizer (any type of fish from raw fish, to carpione, to various shellfish, and the artisanal pink sauce on which to sink the various tuna tartare, salmon and the like) or the extended version in the Ventaglio di Mare. If you are still hungry, treat yourself to some delicate spaghetti with clams and bottarga or sciagliatelli in different combinations (with crab) or the various tagliolini alla pescatora or variations decided by chef Ciro. The grilled meat and other local delicacies are also excellent. Desserts to finish, ask for the house ones which are excellent. Excellent coffee with house limoncino. Very welcoming staff, ask for some advice on the dishes and before leaving, if you are satisfied, go and shake hands with chef Ciro.

Excellent food, excellent staff... I recommend it to everyone even for an evening with friends.
