La Locanda Del Bruco In Malnate

What can I say? The food is delicious and excellent value, but Locanda del Bruco stands out from all the others for the kindness and friendliness of the owner, whose qualities include attentiveness and the speed of a spinning top. The platter of fried gnocco is plentiful and top-quality, and the pizzas are also very good and offer a wide selection. They also make first and second courses that are very appetizing, but I haven't tried them yet...I'll definitely be back!

Here you'll find the three key factors that make a restaurant more than just a restaurant! The warm welcome from the very first moment, the impeccable service, and the truly excellent and generous cuisine are all combined in this very pleasant place where you feel right at home! I'm not inclined to give it top marks, but I wouldn't be honest with myself if I hadn't. If you're looking for authentic cuisine and a warm welcome, all in a very warm atmosphere full of good vibes, head to La Locanda del Bruco!

Great welcome, very good pizza, lively and peaceful atmosphere... a pleasant discovery!

Excellent in every way! Highly recommended!

Very good fish, little choice but excellent dishes

An evening to celebrate our anniversary. The welcome was wonderful, the appetizer to share was truly excellent, and the fritto misto and pizza were also good. The price was fair. We'll definitely be back. Congratulations.

Welcoming place, accessible to all, excellent food, small but discreet

So, the place is okay, nothing special, a quiet little restaurant. I didn't particularly like the service. The waiter (a curly-haired guy with glasses) seemed annoyed. He asked us if we'd eaten everything we'd ordered, as if he were implying we weren't capable of eating. Even if he had, we would have paid for the leftovers anyway. Usually, they take your plate away and wrap it for you, but here they brought us a tray and paper, so we had to do it ourselves. I think the waiter was a little tired. Otherwise, the fried gnocco appetizer was good, the pizza a little less so, but that's a matter of personal preference. There was a long wait between the appetizer and the pizza, considering we arrived at 8:00 PM, and the place was almost empty. (General information: smoking in the kitchen is generally prohibited for hygiene reasons.)

Kudos to Bruno for the warm welcome and friendliness. Small but cozy place. Not a convenient location. Excellent food, definitely worth a return visit.

Pizza restaurant. We sat outside behind a wall along a busy road.
