Drera In Valmadrera

I went with a friend to their Neapolitan cuisine evening. Having made a reservation, we expected there to be room. Upon arrival, the first surprise: there were no seats, only high tables, no stools, almost right at the streetside. We were there, we'd come a long way, luckily we had our shoulder bags. The evening included two drinks for €20 per person: octopus Luciana-style, Genovese, zizzania with tomatoes and oregano, and fried pizza. The waitress arrived and didn't ask us what drink we wanted, even though she'd put the list on the table, but she suggested white wine, sparkling wine, or still wine. Thinking we'd misunderstood, we opted for the bubbles, but the quality was unbeatable. The octopus (one mini octopus per person), zizzona (three cubes per person with three slices of cherry tomatoes and basil), and Genovese were served in finger-food portions. Then came the fried pizza, which was really good and small, like everything else. The waitress comes by and pours more wine; my friend's was actually empty, but she tops up mine with more than half the wine. We ask if we can have more fried pizza to go with the wine, but after half an hour we discover that's not possible. They bring us a second round of finger food, but without the zizzona, placing it on the table without us asking. We ask if we can have dessert; the waitress looks at us strangely and immediately points out that dessert isn't included in the €20 promotion, so who cares, we're out of pocket, so we pay the difference. The really good desserts are €8 each, perhaps sitting at the table with napkins and a glass of water? No, always standing and without anything to drink. At this point we decide to go, and at the checkout, the surprise: €66 for the whole thing. €20 for the three starter finger foods, including fried pizza and two glasses of wine (less than one and a half in my case), €8 for dessert, but surprisingly, a €10 surcharge for the tray with the three additional finger foods they had offered. I'm sorry, but I won't be back. €25 for a paltry aperitivo (excellent quality, but truly poor) with no choice of drinks. It seems very different from what was advertised on the poster. If extras are brought without being asked, they aren't billed to the customer. Exactly as was done and specified for dessert, it could have been done for the rest. Nothing wrong with that, but we would have decided whether or not to allow it. A word of advice: if you only have high tables, perhaps you should provide stools, because this kind of setting isn't comfortable or makes you feel welcome.

Beautiful experience, young and friendly Team near by the Lake. Every friday they have apero themes, highly reccomended. You get a great value for money. 2 drinks with 4 tapas..

I'd been there years ago for a pizza I liked. Unfortunately, they no longer make pizzas, only gourmet focaccias. I must say the portion was good and satisfying. For my entree, they brought me a Pizzoccheri arancini. Great idea, excellent result.

I've never seen such service, the best. Everyone here, don't pass by.

It was a very pleasant surprise to discover this delightful corner of the lake. Enchanting cuisine, particular flavors combined impeccably.

Servicio amable y atento. Buena comida. Perspectiva moderna Recomiendo a fondo, un gran lugar para la cena.

Having ended up in the area by chance, we decided to stop for lunch at this place. I found it very nice, quiet, with friendly service and well-finished and delicious dishes.

Relaxed environment and excellent dishes

A real favorite! The place is warm, you feel good upon arrival. The staff is pleasant. The food is excellent, everything was very good and well presented. The boss speaks French, English and Italian, which is a real plus. A great discovery!

Nuova gestione del Locale che ora non è più pizzeria anche se offre delle focacce gourmet nel menu. Servizio attento e gentile con stuzzichini di benvenuto. Piatti tutti buoni e ben cucinati. Rapporto qualità prezzo corretto
