Locanda Garibaldi In Arcisate

The staff were truly kind! They gave my father and I NOT just a simple lunch, but a truly life-changing EXPERIENCE!! The dishes were truly excellent and meticulously crafted, from presentation to flavor. The owners are truly kindhearted, and the waitress, too! Highly recommended, especially for anyone who wants to treat themselves to a meal where they feel welcome and at home, like family. I personally have a lasting connection with them and their inn. We'll definitely be back! -Rebecca

A unique experience. Romantic location, deliciously excellent food, impeccable service, and an excellent welcome. The owner treats his customers like guests, making them feel at home. In fact, even though he didn't know me, he had a kind thought for me. I thank him so much for the exquisite lunch he served my partner and I, who deserves credit for choosing this inn, which I recommend to everyone.

Let me start by saying that La Locanda Garibaldi isn't a restaurant for everyone, as demonstrated by the limited seating available: a deliberate choice, designed to offer genuine attention and care to each guest. It's not the place for those looking for a quick meal or standardized dishes. Here, dinner is an experience, a journey back in time where food is the star, but not the only memory you'll take home. As soon as you enter, you feel like you've walked through a magical door: an old gramophone, an old-fashioned telephone, two pianos, a large fireplace. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, with music that transports you back in time. We're asked to remove our jackets, like at a friend's house. The table setting is meticulously designed and elegant, and the cleanliness is impeccable. Giuseppe, the owner, is an integral part of the experience. From the first phone call, he asks the names of the guests and, without revealing too much, prepares a little surprise. He has a welcoming attitude that makes you feel important: he talks to you, listens, and sits down for a moment, like a long-lost friend. He explains the menu with passion and suggests always spot-on wine pairings, without being intrusive but with taste and expertise. We started with the house antipasto, which varies according to the season and the creativity of Mirella, Giuseppe's wife, the queen of the kitchen. A surprising dish: a stuffed olive with truffle breading, an extraordinary eggplant caponata, a cod medallion with polenta, and numerous seasonal delicacies, including pumpkin. Then came the first courses: my daughter chose "La Botticella," a perfect combination of amatriciana and carbonara, while my husband opted for the maltagliati with bacon and pistachio—a true masterpiece. I opted for a main course of goulash and fresh porcini mushrooms: a dish that smelled of home, with that imperfect perfection that only cooking with love can achieve. The finale was incredibly sweet: a handmade artisanal baba that rivaled even the Neapolitan ones; a green apple sorbet, the best my daughter had ever tasted; and an apple pie that to call poetry doesn't do it justice. The bill? Absolutely adequate for the experience. Don't expect a menu with prices clearly displayed or the usual "cheapest dish" approach: here you choose with your heart, follow your inspiration, and let yourself be guided. Every euro spent is repaid with emotion and authenticity. Thank you, Giuseppe and Mirella, for a wonderful evening: not just a restaurant, but a moment of humanity, taste, and old-fashioned warmth. The only flaw: the waitresses, though very kind, are still not fully integrated into the environment... perhaps they should know the dishes better.

A place we've known for years, returning is always an experience beyond the ordinary: exceptional. Surprising and refined cuisine, regional Italian dishes interpreted with creative imagination, but always in keeping with tradition. The result is superb. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and surprisingly dedicated to... pleasant memories! The two owners are people worth getting to know! Many thanks to Mirella and Giuseppe! With unwavering gratitude, Giulia and Carlo-

An exceptional culinary experience, excellent service, and a unique and classy venue. Don't expect a menu with prices, but let yourself be transported on a journey of highly unusual, refined, and sophisticated flavors and combinations. Italian cuisine, albeit a bit homemade, is high-quality and offers surprising flavors. Maltagliati with pistachio cream, trofie with porcini mushrooms and grilled bacon, Sicilian-style stuffed meatballs, cinnamon or melon and chili pepper ice cream are just a few examples of the dishes available, but the highlight is the appetizer of half a dozen unique and sensational appetizers, from caponata to goose breast, from truffled olives to sweet and sour pumpkin. A unique and memorable experience for those who want to try new and classy flavors; expect to spend 80 to 90 euros per person, plus wine, for a full four-course meal, but it's worth every penny. This is a restaurant unlike any other, and reservations are required. Exceptional.

A beautiful 1960s villa surrounded by greenery, with onsite parking. The owners, Giuseppe, are a wonderful host and make you feel at home. His wife, Mirella, is an excellent cook. The waiter is very friendly and cheerful, and all three are very hospitable and friendly. All in all, an excellent restaurant for dining with friends, but also for an intimate dinner.

The food is excellent, but there is no menu card, no price list and you basically have no idea what you order. The staff is super nice, but you have the feeling you enter the home of grandma and grandpa who didnt do any renovation for the past 40 years. It's an experience, one time only for us.

Dinner for 2, very good food, nice atmosphere. special, the owner who entertains the customer which doesn't happen usually, deserves much more! Well done!🌺🌺🌺
