Bar Zapelli In Ballabio

22/02/2026: A rustic place with both traditional and modern dishes. The plating was beautiful, and overall we ate well. One drawback is the bathroom has no lock, so you can't tell if it's free or occupied, and from inside you can't keep it closed with your hand or foot because the door is too far away 😅.

01/02/2026: First, it's a pleasant discovery. After years of dear friends recommending this place near work and home, describing it as an atmosphere that exudes a sense of home, relaxation, and good food, today my husband and I finally had the pleasure of sampling this classic, home-style cuisine, with well-prepared dishes. We sampled a light, delicate, yet very tasty appetizer: a vegetable roll and pizzoccheri—classic, but not as heavy on sauce as is often the case in restaurants, and we enjoyed it. For main courses, we tried a well-balanced polenta stew and a rabbit with potatoes, truly exceptional. As for desserts, perhaps because we're not into dessert, but rather they were too elaborate and too sugary for our tastes. The staff was kind, polite, and very welcoming. We'll definitely be back.
