02/11/2025: Fantastic little place we found by chance on a Sunday afternoon, a table free by PURE LUCK. The interior is delightfully vintage, that genuine, lived-in, beautifully rugged vintage. The young lady who listed the dishes of the day was very kind! We had a mixed platter, with an honorable mention for the cheeses—few but delicious—and the freshly sliced prosciutto, thick and flavorful, just the way I like it! Next up were two saffron and sausage risottos, not particularly excellent, perhaps a little overcooked, but ultimately, it's not just the food that would make me return. We finished with a veal stew with honey mushrooms, very, very tasty. Portions designed to let you enjoy a full menu like a working man, so a super bonus even for those like me who don't have as big a stomach as they'd like but who like to eat a variety of things. Homemade cakes that warm the heart, a half-bottle of house wine (we had red), which was very welcome, and a couple of coffees.
€54 well spent, not only for what you get but for the atmosphere you experience! 10/10 great guys ⭐️
29/10/2025: Bar Trattoria Basilio – Vimercate (MB)
A small, convenient spot in the heart of Vimercate, just steps from the Powi charging station (AC 22 kW, we charge at 16 kW): a perfect stop for those traveling electric and looking for good, straightforward dining.
A historic establishment, almost suspended in time—thankfully—where the atmosphere is authentic, like that of a local trattoria: friendly, welcoming management, always ready to chat.
The portions are just right, the cuisine is honest and meticulous, and the parsley potatoes deserve a special mention: excellent, and even more significant considering that the annual Potato Festival is held nearby in Oreno.
A place we'll gladly return to: simple, authentic, and with a familiarity that's hard to find these days.
For us, a regular and always pleasant stop between charging stations.

🇬🇧 Bar Trattoria Basilio – Vimercate (MB)
A small, reliable stop in the heart of Vimercate, just a short walk from the Powi charging station (AC 22 kW — we charge at 16 kW): the ideal break for anyone traveling by EV and looking for good, honest food.
A historic local tavern, pleasantly stuck in time — and that's a good thing. The owners are friendly and welcoming, the portions are spot-on, and everything feels genuine.
Special mention for the parsley potatoes — excellent in flavor and perfectly cooked — especially fitting since nearby Oreno hosts the famous Potato Festival every year.
A place you'll want to come back to: simple, authentic, and consistently good.
For us, a regular and reliable stop between one charge and the next.
