Le buone cose In Cornaredo

22/03/2026: I tried the following dishes: - Veal pâté with hazelnut praline, caramelized Tropea onions, and brioche bread (€16) - Lucanian fusilli with Sarconi beans, mussels, and a crunchy bell pepper (€16) - Duck breast with apple and cinnamon compote, red sauerkraut, and a Madeira reduction (€26) The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, with good, attentive service. The veal pâté fell short of expectations: it lacked flavor and was undermined by the overly sweet, caramelized onions. Overall, the dish leaned more toward the balance of a slightly salty dessert than an appetizer. The fusilli were the highlight of the meal: perfectly opened mussels, perfectly cooked squid, and a truly successful sauce. The balance of flavors was excellent, with a harmonious and convincing combination of sea and land. The duck breast had a good texture, being quite tender, but overall it lacked flavor, with some parts being slightly more intense. The apple compote and red sauerkraut were well executed and helped balance the dish, offsetting the delicateness of the duck. The Madeira reduction, however, was lacking in both quantity and flavor.
