Al Macello Vimercate In Vimercate

As always, top quality and quantity...my favorite is the €20 aperitif where there's a bit of everything and it's very plentiful.

PARKING: THE TREASURE HUNT STARTS HERE Largo Europa is certainly not "large" in name or in fact. Finding a spot is like winning a scratch-off ticket: it can happen, but don't count on it. If you enjoy the thrill of stunt parking or are a fan of "I'll put on my hazard lights and see," then you're in the right place. ATMOSPHERE: LIGHTS, SHADOWS, AND CHANGING LEDS The interior is spacious, airy, and well-lit. The LED lamp above each table changes color like a changing mood, but it succeeds in its purpose: it gives the evening that touch of intimacy that never hurts. The only shame is that the tables are a little too close together: you feel part of a big extended family, even if you don't know anyone. MENU The menu is generous, varied, and appetizing. We opted for the apericena, choosing a full menu: honest portions and a selection that's filling without boring. The philosophy is clear: you come here for substance rather than aesthetics. DRINKS: PROSECCO PASSED, SPRITZ IN THE CARE UNIT The Prosecco does its job: sparkling, fresh, and timely. The Spritz, on the other hand, seems like the result of a dispute between Aperol and Prosecco: uncertain doses, no balance. You drink it, sure, but more to quench your thirst than for pleasure. Let's just say it's not the cocktail that reconciles you with life after a hard day. SERVICE AND WELCOMING: FACADE KINDNESS, SMILE ON STRIKE The staff operates efficiently, but the empathy is probably left in the refrigerator next to the beers. There's politeness, but little warmth. The customer is welcomed, not embraced. In short, it's fine for dining, less so for feeling like a "guest." BILL: FAIR WITHOUT TROUBLESHOOTING Prices are in line with the market, perhaps even slightly lower considering the quantity and selection. The quality-price ratio saves the day and earns a passing grade with a smile (ours, not theirs). FINAL VERDICT: THREE STARS, BUT NO SPARK "Al Macello" doesn't disappoint, but it's not surprising. It's one of those places you could mistake for ten others like it, and no one would notice. A place where you eat decently, drink so-so, and leave with the feeling that... yes, it was good, but it could have been better.

Tried it as part of a lunch deal. Quick service, friendly staff. Great selection. Worth checking out in the evening.

I ran into an old friend of mine who I hadn't seen in years. The place is a great hangout, and we had a couple of rounds of beers. I would have preferred more appetizers, but the beers are excellent and the staff is incredibly friendly. I'll definitely be back to see if we can get a 5-star rating.

I had an aperitif dinner; the food itself was good, and the price-quality ratio was fair. The waiters' behavior was disappointing when we pointed out the problem of wasps circling the table. I understand it's not an easy problem to resolve, and I don't expect it to be resolved right away, but I do expect the waiters to at least address me politely and seek a solution. That, however, was truly lacking. What a shame!

There were eleven of us and we had an aperitif for a birthday. Good and abundant portions. I asked for the vegetarian option and they were careful to indicate it and separate it from the rest.

I've only stopped here once. I had no trouble finding parking. I had a good experience, but the service was quite slow despite the fact that there weren't many people.

Embarrassing vegetarian appetizer. They didn't bring us cheese, the vegetable dish was tasteless, ditto the meatballs. They go for quantity but there is no quality.

Nice place, we stopped at noon for a snack; we had an aperitif (17€) and a menu (19€). Friendly staff, quality/quantity of food below expectations, considering the price, especially for the aperitif.

I'll start by saying that I've always and only been to this place for lunch, and I can say without a doubt that the quality-price ratio is unbeatable. They offer menus with prices and options that are really hard to find elsewhere in the Vimercate area. The lunch deals are perfect for those who work: tasty dishes, right portions and an excellent variety. The service is another strong point: fast, efficient and well-organized, ideal for those who have a tight schedule during their lunch break. You can tell that they are used to welcoming workers and they manage everything with professionalism and courtesy. Highly recommended for those looking for a quality lunch without wasting too much time and without spending a fortune.
