Osteria Antica Fontana In Cologno monzese

I favored the lunch menu and: ⭐- The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, it doesn't even feel like a restaurant ⭐- The service was extraordinary, both from the quick kitchen and from the single waitress who made it seem like there were three of them ⭐- With the quality of the dishes being superb in terms of portions and flavours, there isn't much to add ⭐- For only €12 I enjoyed some gnocchi with meat sauce with cutlet and rustic chips (in my opinion better than the generic ones) complete with still water ⭐- Bonus, those in charge change the menu every now and then, which not only makes things more interesting compared to any other restaurant which has maintained the usual menu for generations until Cannavacciuolo arrives, but gives the possibility of always serving fresh and cutting-edge dishes

The restaurant has an old and simple style and overall it was a pleasant evening. Given that we came during the week for an early dinner and had the whole place to ourselves. The lady was very courteous but we found the dishes to be normal. The bathroom wasn't very clean and it was freezing inside. The appetizers such as marinated anchovies, lemon and parsley and the octopus, potatoes, parsley were very good and tasty, while we liked the first courses we had less, we found them a bit bland.

Very quiet historic restaurant, good quality traditional dishes, attentive and very kind service

Excellent fried calamari and good steak, a respectable lunch, we'll be back
