Al Vicolino In Varese

Cuttlefish ink tagliolini with sautéed squid and asparagus! So delicious 🥹 A lovely plate of pasta!

Great place to enjoy a good elephant ear, with chestnuts and honey. Highly recommended.

Random choice, but found the place welcoming and clean, the staff very friendly, and above all, excellent food. Thank you 🤗

I discovered this place by chance, and I have to say it's pretty good. The menu is extensive, the ingredients are high-quality, and the portions are generous.

The food was excellent and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful in managing our reservation for twenty people!

Nice little place in the center of Varese. We ordered the orecchiette cutlet, which, despite being the smaller of the two options, was plentiful and we couldn't finish it. It was perfectly fried and easy to digest. The hamburger didn't entirely convince us. The staff, though young, is very attentive, kind, and professional. The wine is also very good, and the atmosphere is pleasant and there's no crowding even though it's almost full.

It's an amazing place, obviously we got the "elephant ears" which are very tasty. The only problem was that you are literally forbidden to share them, and clearly going with kids or with little appetite can kill your wallet. Otherwise the palce is definitely a place to visit and you'll enjoy a lovely time there.

After hearing about Vicolino's Elephant Ear for years, we finally decided to go last night. My girlfriend, my friend, his girlfriend, and I booked a table a few days in advance. I'd never been here before, but I have to say my already high expectations were exceeded! Let's start with the signature dish, the Elephant Ear. "Huge" doesn't quite do it justice. It arrived at the table like a veritable monument, but every bite was a revelation: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, perfectly seasoned, and despite its impressive size, it wasn't heavy—perfect balance. We washed it all down with two bottles of wine, and the atmosphere immediately warmed up. But the real star of the evening? Milo, the waiter who looked after us from start to finish. A young man with a smile that immediately puts you at ease and an uncommon kindness. He never missed a thing, was incredibly helpful, and joked with us without being intrusive. His attention to detail and desire to make guests feel special from the start are the little things that make all the difference. 10 points to him alone. Without him, it would have been a good dinner, but with him, it was unforgettable. In short: exceptional food (try the Orecchia, you won't regret it), well-matched wines, and service that transforms an evening with friends into a moment to remember. Al Vicolino isn't just a restaurant: it's an experience. And if there's one reason to return, besides the menu, it's definitely seeing Milo again. Thank you for making us feel at home!

Very good cutlet, very varied choice.

I discovered this place by chance, and I have to say it's quite good. The menu is extensive, the ingredients are high-quality, and the portions are generous. The off-menu options are also excellent. The staff is young and helpful, and the prices are average for restaurants in downtown Varese.
