Hermitage In Varese

We've been to this restaurant before, but Sunday was and will be the last time! I'll start with the seafood spaghetti dish, which was boiled spaghetti with oil, parsley, mussels, and clams, and no other fish or shellfish. I'd eaten it before, and it definitely wasn't these. I reported the issue to the waiter, but there was no attempt to remedy the situation. The calamari was awful! At the next table, two parents with a toddler did everything they could, without them caring about the other guests in the dining room. Before leaving and paying, I pointed out the incorrect dish to the owner, and he was very evasive, placing the blame on the waiter and shrugging his shoulders without any attempt to remedy the situation. A few explanations would have been enough. Not to mention the handwritten bill on a piece of paper with no specifics. I left feeling very disappointed, especially since it was an important occasion.

The villa that houses the restaurant is very pleasant, and the service is fast and attentive. The oysters are excellent, and the salmon is a worthy seafood appetizer. The menu offers simple dishes and won't appeal to those who appreciate sophisticated cuisine. The bill doesn't list the dishes consumed, but rather the total cost; unusual and discouraging behavior.

The kindest and most magical place in the world. You feel at home, in a house full of love.

A place from another era, elegant and tranquil. Exceptional food and service. A priceless quiet dinner. It's nice to know places like this still exist.

€30 for a first course, dessert, and water. The first course was good but nothing special; tiramisu with hot coffee and liquid cream. The price was definitely too high for what we ate. The place is charming and has a lovely atmosphere.

Very good food, gluten-free options available. Attentive service.

Posto molto bello, specialmente la parte all'esterno sotto i grandi alberi. Abbiamo scelto il menù da 35 euro, che comprende proprio tutto: dal vino al caffè al dolce. Le dosi sono giuste, nel caso del primo anche abbondanti, i piatti gustosi, il servizio veloce e molto cortese. Era tempo che non ci sentivamo trattati così bene!

Really welcoming place, with very kind staff and a passionate owner! You eat a lot and very well: the food is excellent and each dish is also taken care of in the presentation. They were extremely helpful in modifying the menu based on my allergies, without missing anything. Super positive experience, we will definitely be back!

This is now my fourth visit to this restaurant, it confirms its quality in terms of service and food quality.
