08/12/2025: In the northwest area of ​​Milan, there are many truly interesting options for a delightful evening at the table. Our latest discovery takes us to Olgiate Olona, ​​to the Ma.Ri.Na restaurant, which is certainly no stranger to these parts, boasting over 50 high-end restaurants. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, and the staff has the perfect timing and manner to make guests feel at ease in an extremely relaxing setting. We opt for the "Timeless" menu, a menu featuring delicious welcomes from the chef, six savory courses, and one sweet one. It's a fantastic experience, accompanied by the expert and passionate commentary of maître d' Giorgio and Barbara, who are always present without ever being intrusive. Every dish is a wow: high-quality ingredients, harmoniously paired with perfect results. And with a balance of flavors that's anything but predictable. One example: risotto, sour butter, red tuna heart, mushroom stock. Another example: black cod, creamed grilled cauliflower, spiced broth. The two highlights of a dinner that has nothing to envy of the Michelin-starred ones. Speaking of which: the return of the star—which was removed in 2023 after 27 consecutive years—will be a real and achievable goal by November 2026. As a non-betting person, I'm willing to bet on it.
