Vino e Sapori In Saronno

03/05/2026: This is a difficult review to write; it took me over a week because we found many positive aspects, but also just as many we didn't like. Let me start by saying that we ate outside, so this review is limited to that. The location is spectacular, beyond words. The staff is helpful and friendly, perhaps a little overzealous, and in certain situations it shows and feels that way. Garden tables are large but wobbly given the terrain they're set on. The chairs are uncomfortable, despite the cushions provided. The dishes are neither good nor bad; well-presented, but the substance is certainly not a strong point. Given the location, the Michelin logo at the entrance, and the price, it would be nice if the waiter poured the wine, not the customer. Lastly, the price. You pay for the location, which is truly unique, but the quality of the food needs updating, as does the service. When it came time to pay the usual question (all good), my wife's answer (no, and you should have noticed) elicited no reaction, just an outstretched hand to politely hand over the POS. We definitely won't be returning. There are restaurants in Varese where the food is definitely better.

28/03/2026: The gardens and the villa are a wonderful place. There's also a wonderful restaurant serving delicious food with a full respect for local produce. It's luxurious but not overly pompous, with a very friendly atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable for this type of restaurant. There's a wide selection of wines, which are matched by the wine list. The villa's collection is very interesting. The art intertwines with the villa's rich interior, where you can see everyday rooms full of the splendor and charm of bygone years. You can spend a pleasant day enjoying the wonderful views in the charming garden.
