I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lodi

12/07/2025: Entering this restaurant is a mystical experience, a true test of Zen patience. We arrived at 12:20, full of enthusiasm, hunger, and faith in humanity. We left at 2:30, with longer beards, deeper wrinkles, and a sense of loss similar to that of someone recently returned from a solitary pilgrimage in the Himalayas. As soon as we were seated, the waiter brought us… silence. Not a menu, not a glass of water, not a “coming soon.” Just a distant look, from someone who has seen too many customers wait in vain. After about 25 minutes, we were handed our menus with the solemnity of a sacred parchment. We ordered quickly, fearing that even hesitating might prolong the wait until breakfast the next day. Minutes pass. Then 15 minutes pass. Then we begin to get to know the families at the neighboring tables better, with whom we form a supportive community. A woman at the next table had the idea of ordering takeout and sleeping on it. When the appetizer finally arrived (an hour later), it had the unique flavor of illusion. The bruschetta was lukewarm, as if it had cooled during a walk from another city. Once we finished the appetizer (with the efficiency of those who fear they'll never see anything again until morning), we returned to our standard position: seated, contemplating. The main course? It arrived so late that I greeted it like an old friend you haven't seen in years. The waiter, with a slow, meditative pace, seemed on an inner pilgrimage. The meat was good, honestly, but even the best food loses some of its charm if you have to wait for Jupiter to conjunct Saturn. The best part? The bill. Not because of the price (definitely out of proportion to the experience), but because it was the quickest moment of the evening. A speed that leaves you breathless: perhaps the POS is the only object that doesn't go into hibernation in here.

01/06/2025: I ordered a red pizza, with burrata, anchovies and cherry tomatoes and I got a white pizza with only cherry tomatoes, which was also soggy and wet. Amen.

07/07/2025: Endless waiting times, the girl, the only one on a very crowded Sunday, first serves other customers who arrived later, arrives to clear the table of previous customers but the table remains dirty, not a simple wipe, after 20 minutes three aperitifs arrive.... it's not a disgrace for the waitress who runs here and there to make up for the lack of staff but does the ownership realize all this?

20/05/2025: Caffè Vistarini, a classic historic place in the heart of beautiful Lodi. View of Piazza Vittoria. We went for a quick lunch, good and kind attention. Good music. Maybe a little high, anyway nothing to say. I recommend!

11/05/2025: Dopo un attesa di oltre un’ora (un’ora) per piadine, bruschette e spaghetti … Un bel cappello nel piatto. Direi mai più .

01/05/2025: Abbiamo solo telefonato per avere delle informazioni sul menù del Primo Maggio e per eventuale disponibilità di 2 posti all'esterno. A un certo punto la proprietaria ci ha attaccato il telefono. E poi non ha più risposto alle chiamate. Ci siamo rimasti molto male davanti a questa maleducazione e ancora di più perché siamo clienti da parecchio tempo.

05/07/2025: Classic sushi from a large chain. The service was totally inadequate, with a lack of dishes and the usual drinks despite the place being almost empty every time (literally just us and another table). As if that wasn't enough, at the end of the last evening the POS "didn't work" and instead of trying again or looking for another solution, we had to go out to the nearest ATM, withdraw money and then come back to pay. A disgrace. After this I doubt I'll ever go back again.

01/07/2025: Nice place, if a person orders a second time, you have to take the order to the cashier, because the person doesn't come through. The staff leaves a little to be desired. The sushi is so-so, the glasses are too small, and they don't turn on the air conditioning
