Bar Bün In Merate

We had lunch on a Sunday with the risotto tour. We tried 12 different types of risotto, all excellent. Rustic atmosphere. Very friendly staff. We'll be back.

Antica Risotteria is one of those restaurants that are increasingly rare to find: intimate, welcoming, and not at all cluttered. As soon as you enter, you immediately breathe in the atmosphere of times gone by, that of Brianza from days gone by: exposed brick walls, solid wood tables and chairs, checked tablecloths. Everything contributes to making you feel like you've been catapulted back in time. From a place like this, you expect home-cooked, healthy, and authentic cuisine... and your expectations are amply met. The staff is very courteous and attentive, without ever being intrusive. There's so much to say about the food, but I'll limit myself to the essentials: A risotto that makes you understand why this place is special. The meat is also exceptional: the pork cheek literally melts in your mouth. The portions are generous (thankfully!). In other restaurants, you often finish the risotto with a desire for more... not here; you leave fully satisfied, and at worst, if there's anything left, you take it home. Compliments to all the staff: I will definitely be back.

A satisfying evening with colleagues in a rustic and simple, yet tidy and pleasant, atmosphere. The owner and staff were discreet but always available and willing to accommodate our requests. We tried four types of risotto (with venison, cacio e pepe (my favorite), Monza-style risotto, and another with provola). The ribs with potatoes were delicious. The cheesecake deserves a special mention. The price was reasonable for what we ate and drank. Parking was a bit difficult.

A warm welcome from the owner, a very nice, intimate place, where we immediately felt at ease, and a comfortable, private atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety of options and generous dishes. You can definitely go just for the risotto, which is well-made and offers a variety of options. However, it's worth trying some appetizers or the main course, even if you just want to share. The service was excellent and discreet. The quality/price ratio was excellent. We'll be back.

We finally managed to have dinner at their place for the classic Christmas dinner among former colleagues. We started with the cold cuts platter and fried dumplings, a generous portion for the hungry, and then the classic risottos, each different from the other, generous portions, all the ingredients are top quality and you can taste it, excellent choice of wines, delicious desserts, vast selection of liqueurs, friendly and cordial staff who were never intrusive, average prices, there is parking in the area, booking recommended.

The welcome was wonderful, and the risotto tour is a once-in-a-lifetime experience (this is our third time, though)! The selections were delicious, both classic and more unusual.

Wide selection of risottos, all delicious and with original flavors. Don't order appetizers; the risotto portions are generous. :-) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excellent restaurant, this is our second time there and it's consistently delicious! The polenta and raw sausage appetizer was delicious, and the risotto was plentiful and flavorful. The owner was incredibly kind and friendly. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

A very charming place with an old-world feel. The owner made us feel welcome, offering information and recommendations on food and drinks, and even chatting with us, making the experience more personal and memorable. We ate very flavorful appetizers and the inevitable risottos, perfectly cooked, very tasty, and you can find some interesting and successful pairings. A valuable note is the refined selection of quality amaro and grappa. For the host: for the next round, the risotto with young May 😉

excellent risotto and warm and welcoming environment, I ate very well
