Trattoria del Tacco In Desio

29/03/2026: A charming restaurant located in the courtyard of a building in the historic center, with limited seating and a lovely atmosphere. The menu reflects the restaurant's name and features mostly Tuscan dishes, with plenty of charcuterie and cheese platters and crostini. I tried the savory pecorino panna cotta with dried tomatoes, walnuts, and pears, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, the Tuscan crostini weren't appreciated because they were made with slices of pre-toasted bread and had a rather bland topping. Given their price, we would have expected something better, with freshly toasted bread. The cacio e pepe pici were not bad, although the sauce was a bit runny; the peposo was good. The service is quick enough, and the staff is very friendly, while the restaurant is charming, bright, and quiet. The wine selection is good, served by the glass, and, much appreciated, they let you taste it before serving (which is not a given). This simple gesture allows you to see the bottle of your chosen wine and taste it before it's served. The overall rating is good, although in my opinion the quality/price ratio of some options should be assessed differently.

19/03/2026: Good food, casual atmosphere, somewhat obtrusive staff. Prices are out of line. We had a platter for two, two main courses, and a bottle of water for €90. The bill was too high.
