Osteria dello Sperone In Lonate pozzolo

17/01/2025: Sometimes we let ourselves be guided by the high-sounding names of famous chefs to savor particular dishes presented with pomp and refined elegance only to discover that the whole charade is a marketing communication that does not always correspond to the prices they charge. The caterpillar inn, discovered by chance, reminded me of the story of Cinderella. Sober, elegant in its simplicity, essential in the things that matter, but above all with all the merits that a good restaurant must have. In short, discovering that behind the simplicity lies a splendid Princess was a pleasant surprise. Francesco proved to be an excellent professional, courteous, discreet and always present at the right time. He described the different dishes to us so well that we seemed to savor their taste and smell their aroma. The appearance corresponded perfectly to the one described. Bravo!! My wife and I ate delicacies that satisfied all the senses of pleasure. Obviously the chef has his good merits. The environment is nice and cozy even if not particularly large. The cost is in line with the dishes and is around 20/30 Euros each. The restaurant is located in Malnate (Varese) and is clearly visible along Via Varese. One last piece of information, they also serve pizzas which, however, we didn't eat, so I can't give an opinion. I'll taste it next time.
