08/07/2025: I decided to come here because I could get there in one bus from the bus stop near my house!
It's located on the outskirts of Milan, so it was nice and peaceful☺️
I wonder if the food is home-grown? The vegetables were really delicious✨
07/07/2025: A very pleasant discovery!
Along the Naviglio Pavese is Erba Brusca, a "hidden" gem. The restaurant offers a weekly fixed menu, to ensure that the raw materials are always fresh and seasonal. The menu includes 2 appetizers, 2 first courses, 1 second course, 1 dessert. You can choose different types of combinations of these dishes, but also off-menu à la carte.
I was there at the beginning of July and I ate:
- Tomato and watermelon gazpacho, fish sauce, basil oil: I loved it, a combination of flavors, very balanced, truly exquisite. Probably one of the best dishes of the evening.
- Variation of Chioggia turnips, Stella Diceсса salted ricotta, caraway seeds and fennel: not bad, perhaps too much turnip, I would have preferred a more important salty touch from the salted ricotta.
- Spaghetti 'nduja and peppers, black cabbage and walnut pesto, breadcrumbs, lemon: very good, for those who love strong and decisive flavors. An explosion on the palate.
- Risotto with robiola, chamomile, honey, salted lemons and smoked paprika: delicate, sweet, with notes of chamomile and paprika that did not spoil but accompanied. Another balanced bolta ad hoc.
- Panna cotta, melon granita, caramel: I did not like the melon granita very much, but it is a personal taste. I simply loved the rest, the panna cotta and caramel mix was spectacular.
Offered by the house an appetizer consisting of a focaccia, ricotta and olive paté and finally, before the dessert, strawberries from their garden.
In general, I loved everything. Even the bread was delicious, it is served with the service along with natural water. The dishes, contrary to what you might think, are abundant.
The place is very beautiful and well-kept, you can book both in different verandas, internal room and garden.
I can't wait to come back!
