Osteria del Centenate In Varese

Only one minus...menu only in Italian

A fantastic experience in terms of food and hospitality that made us return two nights in a row. Arabella is super friendly and welcoming and made us and our Dakota feel right at home! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend it! We ate tasty dishes and appropriate portions. The service was very professional. We'll be back!

It's a nice place, we had dinner and on holidays and the day before there is the tasting menu, we made two choices, the one for €32 and €35 ​​starters, first and second courses, desserts... the base is meat and quite good dishes polenta and braised meat.... abundant dishes.

At the invitation of some dear friends, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products... everything was truly top-notch. Mrs. Arabella is amazing... she knows her stuff. A real point of reference...

We had the tasting menu, although we could have chosen à la carte. The appetizers were very good, and frankly, those alone would have been enough. The first courses (beetroot risotto and asparagus pasta) and second courses (two types of braised meat with polenta) weren't up to par with the appetizers. But perhaps we were already too full. All the dishes were very generous, however. The service was impeccable and friendly. The prices were in line with those of Varese, perhaps even lower. We'll definitely be back.

Good food and good value. Unfortunately, we were scammed by the staff who charged us for an extra dish. Be careful when ordering dishes.

An absolutely incredible experience at this generous, family-run trattoria. The cuisine is refined and incredibly flavorful, offering a culinary journey through Lombardy. Set menus with a wide variety of dishes and friendly service complete the experience. A true delight!

The dishes were so generous, we couldn't finish them all. The waitress came over and asked, "Do you want to take something away?" After we agreed, "It's two euros for the lunchboxes." 😂 It's a bit of a lapse in style, honestly (we're talking about the containers that cost about 10 cents each, the disposable ones, tiny). I've never heard anything like it. 😂 Aside from that, we ate well, and the service was excellent, fast, and attentive. The music in the restaurant was quite out of place for a relaxing dinner (Max Pezzali, Laura Pausini, etc.). Personally, it was a bit annoying. We tried the tasting menu. If it weren't for the embarrassment of having to pay €2 for lunchboxes, I would have given it more stars, but I found it to be in terrible taste.

I ate the best polenta ever, in a cozy atmosphere and with good service.
