04/03/2025: Saturday evening dinner to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend.
9 people met at the Antica Trattoria Mirazzano, a rustic farmhouse surrounded by greenery, in the immediate vicinity of the renowned castle of Peschiera Borromeo, wrapped in a magical atmosphere of calm and relaxation.
Given that the location is splendid, the restaurant is very close to the Forlanini airport, surrounded by the splendid Lombard countryside, in Peschiera Borromeo, reachable by car from both the Nuova Paullese and the Vecchia Paullese, after inserting the "traveler system", to avoid the risk of getting lost, at least on foggy evenings.
The Antica Trattoria di Mirazzano is a beautiful location, both the older part and the new one (rebuilt in the same style) are valuable, an ancient suggestive Borghetto; Furthermore, the restaurant has a beautiful garden where you can eat outdoors in the summer.
Inside there are several rooms that can accommodate up to 200 people, in fact it often hosts weddings and large ceremonies.
The menu combines peasant tradition with modernity, favoring above all meat dishes, from Lombardy cuisine and beyond.
We all ordered 2 courses, some Starters and First Course, some Starters and Second Courses and some First Courses and Second Courses, all excellently prepared after hearing the various comments of the diners present, accompanied by several bottles of white "bubbly" to celebrate the birthday boy and red to accompany the dishes.
Among the dishes tasted I mention the flan with artichokes, appetizer of cured meats and cotechino with polenta, ravioli stuffed with Castelmagno with truffles, breast of guinea fowl, braised priest's hat with polenta, rabbit with polenta, sliced meat.
The portions could be a little more generous, especially the second courses.
The cost is not that of a restaurant, but the raw materials are certainly excellent. Good and varied cellar. Courteous and professional table service, never intrusive. Overall fast and punctual service. Refined and quiet environment.
