I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lombardia

06/10/2025: A landmark. The salted butter and spectacular appetizers. Osteria Il Camino is located at Via Provinciale 33, Ballabio (LC), not far from the exit of the tunnel that connects the Lario road with the climb to Valsassina—making it the perfect stop for a gourmet meal when heading up into the mountains. The restaurant presents itself as a reimagined traditional mountain restaurant: natural materials, wood and stone, warm walls, a large fireplace that gives the place its name and character, and a spacious dining room that manages to maintain a rustic yet elegant intimacy. In warmer seasons, there's also a terrace for those who prefer to eat al fresco. In short, the atmosphere exudes a sense of familiarity with style: it's not a "rough cabin," but a space where every detail—lighting, materials, table layout—is carefully considered. Il Camino's culinary philosophy is clearly local, featuring mountain dishes, reinterpretations of local classics, and a few forays into lakeside tradition.  The chef (and sommelier) is Pietro Agostani, a young and passionate man who also oversees the restaurant's wine selection.

25/09/2025: Well-kept and clean place, good service, good food too (perhaps the portions are a little small), anyway good value for money.

13/10/2025: Exceptional gelato, even better coffee. Courtesy, kindness, and cleanliness.

06/10/2025: Even a simple coffee is a joy. The friendliness and professionalism are almost disarming.

05/08/2025: It's always a pleasure to return to Marino. He never disappoints! The food is good and plentiful, the service impeccable, but above all, the friendliness and the show are 🔝. Both Marino and Alberto were excellent, and it was a very enjoyable evening.

05/09/2025: A beautiful restaurant with a fantastic view. We arrived early in the evening with our dog without a reservation and were greeted warmly. The food was delicious and served quickly. The menu is available in three languages ​​(Italian, English, and German), so you can't go wrong.

04/09/2025: Very attentive service – they even speak a bit of German :) The food was absolutely excellent. The appetizer was rather large :)

14/07/2025: I've been there a few times already, I've always been satisfied with the quality of the raw materials and the service, the menu is traditional with limited creativity but not negative for this, indeed the quality/price ratio is acceptable for being in Milan, highly recommended

05/07/2025: My partner and I had dinner. My pasta was too al dente and very salty, so much so that I sent it back. The rest was good, nothing exceptional. The waiters could make an effort to say a few more words and be more affable. They were not welcoming and kind at all.

12/10/2025: Excellent risotto, I recommend it. Very warm welcome.

17/09/2025: Got a check with positions that I didn’t order. Added extra of 6 EUR, apologies received but still there is a bit of bitterness

02/08/2025: This family run place is very lovely, so accommodating and kind. The food is very good. If I go to Milan again I will eat here.

02/08/2025: It was very tasty and good, the workers have very good energy. I have eaten in many restaurants in my life but this tops everything it was not so busy bad it was not so much noice around which i like, this is deffinetly a 5/5

20/10/2025: Elegantly renovated rural setting, the staff is efficient and knowledgeable, and they pay great attention to dietary requirements. Excellent Franciacorta risotto with truffle and char fillet. A very positive experience.

18/10/2025: Very nice place, top waiters, excellent food

30/09/2025: A very nice location, a bit away from the hustle and bustle. They offer a variety of delicious lemonades. The bruschetta and lemon cheesecake were also delicious!

27/09/2025: Beautiful place with a great atmosphere. Pleasant and helpful service.

17/09/2025: This is our second time dining at this restaurant. Everything was excellent, starting with the welcome, the exceptional waiters, and the delicious food. The real highlight of the evening, however, was the dessert, the freshly made tiramisu. Amazing!! We'll definitely be back.

11/09/2025: Impeccable service. Excellent food. Prices are obviously high but reasonable. No noise issues (we were outside), but we were always able to chat without disturbing each other between tables. Excellent fillet steak (I asked for it to be rare—usually the core temperature leaves much to be desired—this was absolutely perfect!) Bupni was inflated regarding the wines. The desserts were excellent (tiramisu prepared at the table), but the jam tart was fantastic.

03/10/2025: Spectacular meat!!! The porcini mushrooms were just as good, the grill was top notch, like everything else.

30/09/2025: Excellent restaurant, with a nice wine list

21/09/2025: One of the best restaurants in Livigno. Excellent pizzoccheri. Generous portions. The owners and staff are very kind, helpful, and friendly. Excellent value for money. Recommended!

21/09/2025: When I'm in Livigno it's my first choice as a restaurant, always good

18/10/2025: A lovely, intimate place, perfect for an aperitif or dinner. Excellent wine selection, attentive, and friendly staff.

15/10/2025: A delightful find. Though we arrived before evening meal service began (19.00) we were made very welcome and enjoyed an aperitivo while we rested awhile - it had been a long day. We were drawn in by an exciting menu, free of the usual Italian clichés. Service and food exemplary, the sea bass in particular. Tight wine list with some unusual choices. Quiet street location (despite the trams) convenient for Milano Centrale. Nice to think we have somewhere to return to when next in Milan.
