bar trattoria il Cavallino In Carpiano

08/05/2025: Ristorante da Bruno is immersed in the Ticino Park. The view is of the river, the rooms inside are large for large ceremonies and outside a small terrace overlooking nature is made up of a few tables for dinners with friends. And it's a Sunday with friends we had lunch outdoors in the family-run restaurant. The menu is à la carte and the portions are generous. The restaurant has great potential but seems stuck in the 80s like its dishes: cold cuts appetizers, pickles and Russian salad. First ravioli all'amatriciana, second courses we divided ourselves with grilled sea bass, fried fish and roast veal (side dish: potatoes, aubergines). Homemade dessert: apricot tart. The food was good, the house wine accompanied the lunch. Finally the owner and the mother - who is in the kitchen - offered us a bitter to digest the enormous quantity of food. If it were modernised, perhaps with a fixed menu or more locally sourced, it would be a great success.

14/04/2025: Family lunch and we had a good time, both the first and second courses were very good not to mention the mouth-watering desserts, very beautiful location with a view of Ticino, good and fairly quick service
