Posteria san rocco In Gallarate

30/12/2025: I should point out that this review is for the restaurant only. We've been coming here for years, not often because this type of restaurant isn't for every day, but it's always been an option for special occasions. Last year, again around Christmas, we had a "not up to par" evening, with a plate of foie gras served still frozen inside, but we love "our" Sacromonte too much and, thinking a sabbatical had been healing, we tried again. We enter, two of us, a waitress passes by, undoubtedly busy serving tables, but a "good evening" is just polite... never mind, we think... they let us sit and, as always, kindly store our jackets for us. On Saturday evenings there's a special menu; we try meat and fish, but we're not up to par... we only save the dessert, but not too much; It's a real shame because we remember dishes from a few years ago that left us speechless, and unfortunately a tasteless broth with two, yes, two mussels and half a broccolini doesn't have that effect, especially since the bill always comes to the same amount. Excellent wine list. Worth considering for an aperitif; we'll try again next year for the restaurant!

27/12/2025: Aperitivo is a treat, in a location that transports you back to the 19th century. Must try.
