I ate here for the first time with my sister. We're originally from Varese, but currently live abroad. The food was excellent and high-quality. The zucchini timbale was very delicate yet flavorful. The sourdough bread crouton is a bit like a country bruschetta, with various ingredients that make it appetizing. The pork cheek, cooked for 12 hours, flaked in the mouth with a truly delicious softness. The rare sliced steak was also excellent. All accompanied by an excellent 2020 Sangiovese and Merlot blend.
To finish, the typical dessert: a regional tart with blueberry jam.
The staff were truly helpful and kind, always smiling and super welcoming, especially considering my food allergies.
Highly recommended.

A restaurant with a lovely terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery, a decidedly pleasant atmosphere.
Efficient and professional service, an interesting menu, and a good wine selection.

Overall, a very nice restaurant with excellent service. The appetizers are good, especially the cured meats with fried gnocco. The first courses, in my opinion, are the best, but unfortunately, there's a lot of room for improvement with the desserts. The prices are a bit higher than average.

We met with friends who already frequented it and were satisfied.
Good quality food, friendly staff.
A large private parking lot makes it an "appealing" place (sorry for the pun).
The garden entrance makes it accessible to the disabled.
The bill was perhaps a bit high compared to what we ate (an appetizer and a first course or a second course and dessert: basically, not a full meal).

Dining at Bottega Lombarda was a truly rejuvenating experience.
The attention to quality is evident from the moment you arrive: the bread and taralli accompanied by exquisite spreadable butter are a perfect start.
We tried the breaded zucchini flowers: the ricotta inside was top-quality, a true delicacy.
The rump steak was also excellent, perfectly cooked and seasoned, incredibly tender, and accompanied by flavorful potatoes.
The dessert also lived up to expectations, confirming the high quality of the cuisine.
The service deserves special mention: the staff were very courteous, and the wait times were short, despite the attention to detail in the dishes.
All this is complemented by a beautiful setting and an enviable panoramic location: the view, stretching from Campo dei Fiori to Sasso del Ferro, overlooking Lake Varese, creates a magical atmosphere.
A well-deserved five stars for the food, service, and location. We'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious. You can taste the traditional flavors of the dishes, which are very unique and delicious. The location is homey and welcoming, overlooking the lake, while the outside area is filled with colorful plants. You can also buy wine. Highly recommended! 😋

The food is very good, although the selection is limited. I don't know if it's a seasonal or fixed menu. The tasting menu seems like a great option.
