Centoundici Circus In Castellanza

25/01/2026: Farfalle pasta with shrimp and zucchini, cuttlefish with peas, mixed salad, bread, water, wine (not just a quarter, but a whole bottle), coffee, and, to top it all, a generous helping of bergamot cream liqueur. The business lunch menu is the affordable and increasingly rare €13, all-inclusive, with various options and a different menu every day. On another occasion, I enjoyed the "octopus Luciana-style" (€13) and the "calamarata with squid" (€17) à la carte. There are numerous "made in Terryland" pizzas, among which the Pugliese and Calabrese stand out (and I'd love to see them). The latter represents the essence of the restaurant, typically Southern Italy, with its inevitable kitsch overtones. They may turn a blind eye to aesthetes, but are tolerated by those who find them entertaining. However, they are compensated by the opportunity to read books, some of them quite interesting. An unusual and commendable strength. Finally, the large display of calendars from the worthy Carabinieri and the venerable Guardia di Finanza (Financial Police) can perhaps explain the existence of the "Sugo alla Corte d'Assise" (Assize Court Sauce), which can be purchased for €5. Its origins are worth knowing from the friendly, hard-working owners, originally from Gioiosa Ionica. Did you understand this service?
