Caffè Manzoni In Carugate

03/04/2025: Very good pizza. Well cooked! The beer is excellent.

18/03/2025: We were here on a Saturday night with a reservation. The place was full and despite this you eat in a quiet environment with well-spaced tables. The restaurant is very pleasant, very clean, tidy and tastefully furnished, the only shame is the little plastic plants here and there (personally I always find it ugly to touch and look at fake plants). The staff, although very kind, helpful and cheerful, was not very attentive and professional with us. Served a fried potato and mozzarella in carrozza (both without or with little salt) we had to ask for salt and sauces, which are served in 2 sachets per person... Served the pizza with the appetizer plate still on the table, the waiter did not know what to do... Simple, very clear and attractive the menu, on which however appears, among the few dishes for those who do not eat meat, a nice pizza with cooked ham... a mistake that can be made, but serious and a little embarrassing is never having noticed it... Normal prices and excellent selection of craft beers with effective explanations on the menu. As for the food, starting from the fact that we did not leave anything at all, I'm sorry but I have to be honest and I cannot say that I ate well, with taste. The mozzarella in carrozzza was really loose, in the true sense of the word, since at the first forkful the breading comes off completely and the pesto separates from everything else. The cacio e pepe potatoes were a bit dry and got boring after a few pieces (you finish them because you're hungry and because potatoes are always edible anyway). The pizzas were a bit anemic, without much flavor and certainly light. As for the dessert, the Sicilian cannoli were very good, but the tiramisu was personally the worst dish; it felt like I was eating spreadable cheese... I finished it because food shouldn't be thrown away and because you can never not finish a tiramisu... in the end I didn't even digest it. Ultimately, we didn't regret coming and we recommend it because if tastes are tastes, the atmosphere here is honestly pleasant
