Hopduvel In Milano

22/11/2025: I visited Cave del Ceppo for a company lunch, and overall, the experience was truly positive. The agriturismo is nestled in the greenery of the Adda Park: outside, in addition to a large garden, there's also a small farm with various animals—horses, cows, donkeys, and goats—very well-kept and clean. It's a well-kept and pleasant space, ideal for strolling between courses, chatting with colleagues, and taking a break from the table. Parking is ample and convenient, and access is easy even for those arriving in groups with multiple cars. The atmosphere is typical of a agriturismo: rustic tables, a casual yet refined atmosphere, perfect for creating a relaxed atmosphere even in a business setting. The cuisine is traditional Lombard/Italian, with appetizers of cured meats and cheeses, first courses like risotto and ravioli, meat-based second courses, and simple side dishes. In our case, the set menu designed for the group was appreciated by everyone: the two first courses, a risotto and ravioli (scarpinocc), were both very good; the second course, a classic tagliata with arugula and parmesan, was a great success, thanks to the tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked meat. The initial portions weren't particularly generous, but the service offered additional options several times, allowing everyone to leave the table fully satisfied. We were pleased with the attention paid to dietary needs during the lunch program: vegetarian, vegan, and celiac options are available, as well as solutions for various intolerances and allergies. A crucial aspect when organizing a business lunch with many people. The organization of the dining room was impeccable: regular service times, well-paced dishes, efficient staff, present but never intrusive. In short, an excellent choice for an informal yet well-organized business lunch, where you want to spend a few hours in a green setting, ensure everyone eats well (even those with special needs), and have the feeling of a short "day out" without straying too far from Milan.

15/11/2025: A quaint location with the opportunity to see various animals in a well-kept setting. The menus vary, with prices depending on the number of courses and dishes. They're organized a bit "military," and this left me a bit perplexed, as you can only go by reservation and after having (the entire table) clearly defined the menu (which should be the same for everyone, but I've noticed some flexibility). The result is incredible efficiency, topped with uncommon kindness. A slight change and attention to the menu (for example, the risotto, which is a bit too "liquid," and the onions galore in the appetizer, rather than the meat that accompanies the polenta) should, in my opinion, be made. The place isn't for couples who want to hold hands, as the tables can be heard, but overall, it's a nice place where you feel comfortable, at a fair price, and I'd return.
