Ristorante Il Torchio Di Villa Bellardi In Galliate lombardo

16/04/2026: The owner is knowledgeable and very friendly, and the quality products are paired with excellent wines. A special mention goes to the cicchetti, which are delicious.

20/02/2026: It turned out to be a great place to enjoy a glass of wine with friends, ideal for those who want something refined but unpretentious. We washed it all down with a couple of cicchetti: one with blue cheese and raspberry sauce, the other with stracciatella, anchovies, and lime. Truly devastating, the pairings were successful and anything but banal 😋 You can tell they paid attention to both quality and pairings; they managed to create a nice contrast in flavors. The staff is very friendly and can also offer good wine recommendations, although the second time I was there, they sometimes missed us for at least a quarter of an hour. Perhaps a little more attention would be needed. It's nice to see how a bond develops between bartender and customer in a bar; it makes for a more welcoming experience. We chose two reds: an Austrian Bruckner St. Laurent 2019, very rounded and pleasant to drink, and a Tuscan ATRIVM Orcia DOC Sangiovese, also interesting and well-balanced. The place is small but quiet, near Piazza della Motta, well-designed and with an intimate atmosphere that lends itself well to a leisurely chat over a good glass. Recommended for a relaxed, quality aperitivo, unlike any other.
