Gli Amici del Galli In Saronno

I've lived in Saronno forever. I should start by saying that I often go to restaurants, even Michelin-starred ones, which is no coincidence. Yesterday I went to Principe di Savoia for lunch. Around 5 pm, on my way home, I remembered it was late and I wouldn't have had time to prepare baked potatoes for dinner at home, so I went to Galli for the first time in my life to buy them. 4 small trays of potatoes, huh? €35. I'm a little shocked, but I say, "Oh well, guys, they must be amazing." We're talking about potatoes, which in and of themselves are a humble dish. But I paid for both the potatoes and a magnum of Laurent Perrier wine. Total bill €135. The gold-plated potatoes, though, get a 5, guys, but €35 for four trays of potatoes is like armed robbery. Paradoxically, I paid more for them than the wine... I mean, at lunch at the Principe di Savoi, four dishes total, half a bottle of water and coffee, €250, but we're in an almost Michelin-starred restaurant... if I dine at the Galli, would I end up with this bill?! But beyond the price, one might say, "Okay, well, they must be crazy; no, they're also mediocre." I'll make them next time, if I plan ahead, because they'll definitely come out better and I'll also save €30.

What can I say...one of Saronno's finest restaurants. Excellent for dinners with friends, business dinners, and romantic dinners. Delicious, top-quality dishes.

Excellent dishes. A very special place for food and excellent wine. Impeccable service.

An old-fashioned delicatessen offering high-quality tastings. Only a few tables.
