The quality isn't excellent. Too much of everything, and ultimately, everything is mediocre. The sushi is good, the meat and fish are adequate. The first courses are decent. The desserts are awful. This place is best for lunch, as it's more affordable, but in the evening, it's better to go to a traditional restaurant where you'll eat better for the same price.

Grotta Azzurra in Gallarate is hands down one of the best pizza spots around! 🍕 The pizza is amazing – crispy, tasty, and full of flavor. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. Great service, great atmosphere, and definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone. it exceeded all expectations. Grotta Azzurra is undoubtedly a culinary gem in Gallarate and a destination that pizza enthusiasts must visit.

It's a place I've been coming to, not often—three or four times a year—but for ages, and it seems to have gotten worse. Maybe because it was a Friday night. The fried pizzas were delicious, the mussels with pepper sauce inedible, the vegetable focaccia was completely unseasoned (but I asked for salt and oil and it easily fixed it), the sliced beef was very good, the fried food was okay. The real flaw was the service. One menu for three. When they came to take our order, I pointed out that there were three of us and we were waiting for two more menus (do we really need to tell you?). I ate the focaccia cold because I was waiting for the other diners' dishes to arrive, and over a quarter of an hour passed. The sliced and fried food finally arrived, and we were expecting the bread to arrive as well. After five minutes, we had to get up to ask for it. We also had to go to the cashier to order our coffees because the waiters on the veranda hadn't appeared for a while. Well, overall, not exactly satisfied.

Absolutely amazing! Grotta Azzurra is a place you must visit. The seafood is super fresh, the pasta is incredible, and the staff make you feel like family. Beautiful garden area and a warm, welcoming atmosphere – I can’t wait to come back!

Saturday night dinner with mussels in pepper sauce, fried food from the cave, delicate pizza (cream and salmon), paccheri with turnip tops, homemade chips.
Everything, absolutely everything, delicious, just the right amount of time to wait for a high-level dinner..
Highly recommended

I would 100% recommend this restaurant in Milan because the service and food are spectacular, and the atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming. Mario, the owner, is a total genius. I would always come back.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and made with care. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.
Mario, the owner, is always present and involved, making sure every guest is taken care of. You can really feel his passion for what he does, and it reflects in both the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Good evening, to spend a different Sunday evening, without cooking at home, we went to this pizzeria restaurant. At first glance very familiar. The staff very kind and courteous. They served us right away. The little girl and I had a pizza, among other things fantastic, soft dough and abundantly stuffed, not the usual pizzas with few ingredients, full-bodied and non-greasy mixed fried food. I was struck by two things: the tiramisu served in a small blue mocha, an original idea and the competitive price. We will definitely be back often because Sunday evening is not a good evening's cuisine and thank you

Pranzo in uno dei ristoranti migliori di Gallarate. Nonostante alcune recensioni folli lette sotto la mia, i tagliolini cacio e pepe con gamberetti e lime erano favolosi. Il dolce: tiramisù, dentro la moka. Meraviglioso. Attesa: zero. E anche se uno dovesse aspettare, mi sembra logica come cosa se va nei giorni di punta e orari di punta. 10 e lode come sempre.
