La Lanca sull'Adda In Fara gera d'adda

29/10/2025: The restaurant recently changed management, also renovating the space, which was clearly showing its age. I recommend booking because the place is always busy. AMBIENCE: The interior is modern, with elegant tables and chairs. The dark green color scheme is a nice choice. I'm not sure why the bathroom hasn't been renovated; it's left dated and plain. SERVICE: Friendly and knowledgeable staff. If I understand correctly, management of the restaurant has been transferred to "Schiaccianoci," another restaurant on Via XX Settembre. Therefore, the staff is very knowledgeable about wines, so I expected a more extensive and well-stocked list, and the products to be of the highest quality. FOOD: The pizzas I saw were very inviting, and my friend, who ate pizza under the new management, thought it was very good. That evening, I tried Cantabrian anchovies with salted butter, which were very good, spaghetti with clams, and rice with butter and shrimp. I didn't particularly enjoy the rice, despite the quality of the product. Both I and my partner found it a bit disjointed and flavorless, except when eaten with the shrimp. Some might say the shrimp was supposed to add flavor to the dish, but without the rice, it tasted like boiled rice, with no hint of butter. My friend only had dessert. It was a cream and pistachio tart. VALUE FOR MONEY: Good and in line with current prices at restaurants in this category.

26/10/2025: We were a large group. The staff wasn't willing to arrange tables. That was a downside. Otherwise, it's a perfect place for pizza. A wide selection, tasty, and relatively inexpensive. The decor is elegant. The grilled fruit is excellent. We've been here twice for dinner.
