A simple, casual place with a welcoming atmosphere. The food is traditional Varese cuisine with a touch of Venetian flair, including some seafood options: tasty and plentiful dishes, top-notch desserts, and a good selection of wines.
The place is small but comfortable, with a lively atmosphere without being chaotic. The staff was friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable. I would gladly return.

Are you flying out of Milan Malpensa?
For your dinner the night before, don't hesitate... everything is there...
The welcome, the service, the quality of the food, a real osteria... everything is delicious. A particular favorite is the fried gnocchi, not to mention the elephant ears and the shrimp pasta, not forgetting the pop-rock soundtrack and the whipped lemon sorbet.
Don't hesitate. It's the perfect way to start your vacation!

Saturday lunchtime with my wife. Excellent food at a reasonable price. Fast, attentive, and efficient service. The place may be a little crowded, but it's not noisy. I'll definitely be back for a themed evening (or more?).

I've dined at Osteria dei Mercanti several times and have always enjoyed the food. Highly recommended for those who enjoy home-style, high-quality cuisine. Reasonable prices.

We stumbled upon this place by chance, since everything else was full/closed.
We're not from the area, but we were staying at a B&B near Malpensa Airport because we had a trip the next day. There were seven of us, and we all had an amazing meal. I had an elephant ear (pork cutlet), but it was so good, so crispy, I couldn't believe it.
The waiter was very good, and also incredibly friendly and cheerful.
If you're in the area, try it; you'll be truly satisfied.

We visited this osteria and were truly satisfied. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, furnished with simple yet refined taste, perfect for a quiet dinner or a lunch with friends. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always available to recommend the daily specials.
The cuisine is the real highlight: traditional dishes prepared with fresh, quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and generous portions. Each course was tasty, beautifully presented, and cooked with evident passion. The quality-price ratio is also excellent, making the experience even more enjoyable.
In short, an osteria where you can truly enjoy the food and experience the flavor of tradition. Highly recommended!
