Bar Benini In Cesano maderno

13/12/2024: I came back here for lunch after years because the place I originally chose was closed. I didn't expect that at lunch there would only be a fixed menu, mea culpa, with quite limited choices (two first courses, two second courses, two "main" dishes, in any case one omnivorous and one vegetarian or vegan). We opt for a first course and a second course to share. The pasta was not exceptional, it sailed a little in its seasoning. The aubergine in carriage is good and original. We then order the mackerel because we are still hungry, discreet. The initial focaccia and the fried gnocco are good. We ordered a red from the (very limited) wine list on the third try as they no longer stock the first two choices. Definitely a cheap lunch but we were looking for something else, mindful of the past.

03/12/2024: Restaurant with a very large outdoor space, with numerous tables under an awning and others scattered around the park. Very pleasant and spacious indoor environment too. Interesting dishes that mix local tradition with some experimentation. Very kind staff.
