Al Cantuccio In Rho

Highly recommended! Excellent value for money.

Small but welcoming, excellent cuisine, very kind staff

I only found out about this place through Smartbox, a small but welcoming location. Helpful and very kind staff. Recommended dish: zucchini rolls.

The AL CANTUCCIO restaurant is a little bigger than a living room, it has about 10/12 tables, hence the name AL CANTUCCIO: so the first piece of advice is to book in advance if you want to go there for dinner. Last week (during the week it is quieter and it is easier to find a table for 2/4 people even the day before) we were 2 couples and we found a place easily. It is located in the center of Rho, in Via Garibaldi, 57 a few steps from the Church of San Vittore. Upon entering you immediately notice that some of the customers are regulars, another positive factor. The owners are very kind and everything we ordered was of excellent quality. Speaking with the affable owner Davide he told us that the dishes created take inspiration from the basics of Artusi cuisine and are changed on average with each season. The 4 of us ordered 2 dishes each: Smoked Swordfish, Smoked Herring and a Pasta First Course with Fish, then moving on to the second courses with Umbrine, Octopus Salad and Rabbit, all washed down with 1.5 Liters of Bianco Mosso della Casa, 4 desserts and coffee. The quality/price ratio, from my point of view, was excellent: Euro 37.50 each. The important aspect is that you eat really well spending the right amount (at lunch, among other things, work promotions, but respecting the daily menu at 19 Euros). A truly beautiful evening, there is a public car park 50 meters away, free after 7:00 pm. I invite you to try it if you don't know it yet.

Small but very welcoming place, 5 star menu, I recommend it!

Il locale AL CANTUCCIO è grande poco più di un salotto di casa, ha circa 10/12 tavoli, da qui il nome AL CANTUCCIO: quindi il primo consiglio è quello di prenotare per tempo se volete andarvi per cenare. La settimana scorsa (infra settimana è più tranquillo ed è più facile trovare un tavolo per 2/4 persone anche il giorno prima) ci siamo trovati in 2 coppie ed abbiamo trovato posto facilmente. Si trova nel centro di Rho, in Via Garibaldi, 57 a pochi passi dalla Chiesa di San Vittore. Entrando ti accorgi subito che parte della clientela è habitué, altro fattore positivo. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e tutto quello che abbiamo ordinato è risultato di qualità eccellente. Parlando con l’affabile proprietario Davide ci ha riferito che i piatti realizzati prendono spunto dalle basi della cucina Artusi e vengono cambiati mediamente ad ogni stagione. In 4 abbiamo ordinato 2 piatti a testa: Spada Affumicato, Aringa Affumicata ed un Primo di Pasta con pesce, per poi passare ai secondi con Ombrina, Insalata di Polpo, e Coniglio, il tutto innaffiato da 1 Litro e Mezzo di Bianco Mosso della Casa, 4 dessert e caffe. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo, dal mio punto di vista, è risultato ottimo: Euro 37,50 cadauno. L’aspetto importante è che si mangia davvero bene spendendo il giusto (a pranzo tra l’altro promozioni di lavoro, ma rispettando il menù giornaliero a 19 Euro). Davvero una bella serata, presente un parcheggio pubblico a 50 metri, gratuito dopo le 19.00. Vi invito a provarlo se non lo conoscete ancora.

A pleasant surprise! The restaurant Al Cantuccio is the perfect example of that little place where you arrive by chance but that leaves you with a beautiful memory of Italian cuisine, the result of delicious experiments that you recognize immediately when you try them. I live abroad and Luisa and Jessica (whom I thank) immediately made me feel at home, like a friend passing through. In Italy, food is family, and this place perfectly embodies this concept!

Top hospitality. Despite the limited number of tables and seats, about 30 and all booked, in the end I managed to eat anyway so, better to call and book. Service ok, waiting times a bit long. Simple dishes even traditional, like saffron risotto which was quite inviting. Some seafood dishes, more choice on the meat ones, in any case, satisfying, even for the most demanding palates. For me neither praise nor infamy. Top commitment in the kitchen but they could do better, for example, give scented wipes with mussel sauté, replace ready-made desserts with something homemade, homemade bread instead of sandwiches, offer a liqueur/digestive at the end of the meal, add a small dessert with the coffee, avoid drafts. Value for money ok even if a bit more quality on the raw materials wouldn't hurt, even on the pasta first courses (bronze-drawn durum wheat or fresh handmade. Recommended.

Excellent value for money and the owner is very empathetic

Trattoria semplice ed informale, di tipica cucina locale. Cotoletta alla milanese doc: gustosa e leggera, per nulla unta. Porzioni delle verdure risicate. Prezzi contenuti.
