I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Monza e della brianza

17/03/2026: If you are looking for a quality pizza this is the right place

15/03/2026: We go often. The pizzas are exceptional, the best we've ever had in the area. Reservations are required. Prices are reasonable.

17/12/2025: In a magical atmosphere full of mystery and love, in the small courtyard in Monza, right in the center, an infinite variety of flavors of the most unique biscuits in Italy await you. In addition to the delicious and very tasty biscuits, each season offers a variety of other pastries, made with attention to detail and packaging. In the midst of the winter holidays, the delicious aromas of cinnamon, panettone, Venetian cake, and other desserts such as semifreddo, jam, honey, and chocolates invite you to taste them or to share them with someone dear to you (children, grandchildren, friends, etc.). The welcome is always top-notch, with great cordiality and attention to detail. The shop is very well-kept, clean, and offers a wide variety of boxes or tins to bring your loved ones their biscuits or other pastry specialties. I must offer my most sincere compliments to Elena and the entire Dolce Cortile team for their professionalism and love in creating the best pastries and biscuits. Thank you so much, Il Dolce Cortile Monza.

16/12/2025: I discovered "Il dolce cortile" years ago. I can only say that the cookies, pastries, cakes, brownies, and especially the biscotti brittle are incredible. If you're looking for the best, you have to try this pastry shop in Monza.

13/03/2026: Friday lunch: spaghetti with prawns and courgettes, mixed fried fish with potatoes. Vintage place + attentive and friendly staff.

09/03/2026: Lombard cuisine....... I'm stopping for a business lunch.... with a menu..... the food is good and the staff are friendly, I recommend it 👍

10/11/2025: Impeccable service, excellent food, comfortable location... Everything has its price!

03/11/2025: I hope last night's paella was an isolated mistake. As soon as it arrived, I realized something was wrong. Burnt rice all around, overcooked grains like porridge, dry mussels, missing lupini beans, and a greasy base. I ask the waiter (I know he's not involved) why, and he says, "Before serving, the pan went in the oven." What? I'll order it for you, and you tell me to wait about 20 minutes, fine. It's ready, and you can put it in the oven, along with the shellfish! Why don't you bring it to me? Total disappointment even when I tell the lady at the counter, who takes off 7.50, but who cares!

20/03/2026: Good food, spacious children's area with attentive staff, nice, kind and helpful table service.

17/03/2026: The lady who answered me was really rude.

13/03/2026: First of all, I'm a Maître d' at ceremonies and events, and I never judge the places I go because I know the job well, especially when it comes to trattorias. What can I expect? We arrived, we sat down, the menu doesn't offer lean food, and in 2026, isn't anyone free to leave if they don't like the menu? The owner charged us €6 for touching the menus and paper napkins. We politely smiled, said we'd pay, and said it had never happened before, and the lady even got annoyed, using a haughty and arrogant tone. Humility, hospitality, and customer service are values ​​that have long been forgotten. Thank you so much, ma'am, I hadn't read Trattoria Cracco in the name! Congratulations on your excellent performance.

13/02/2026: Excellent restaurant for lunch or dinner, despite its limited space. The place has a slightly "retro" feel, thanks to the very cute objects. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Good food and fair prices.

22/10/2025: I discovered this place thanks to a friend's recommendation! A wonderful discovery! A small and very well-kept place (just how I like them), attentive but not too intrusive service, and the owner, besides being very friendly, is also great at making recommendations and making excellent drinks! You can also enjoy well-prepared appetizers! Perfect for a romantic evening or a night out with friends! I'll definitely be back!

25/07/2025: 🔝 and knowledgeable staff... different types of gin, all refined, aperitif with excellent and always different dishes.

07/02/2026: A historic restaurant in Sovico, we'd never been there before, but we'll definitely be back. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is excellent, from appetizers to desserts, and the quality/price ratio is excellent. I highly recommend it.

28/01/2026: The fish is good, and the pizza is delicious. This is a historic restaurant.

11/11/2025: Excellent place Very friendly Great price: €15 for a hearty and delicious lunch Thank you

24/10/2025: The studio where I work is right across the street from Pumià... what can I say? I go whenever I can, often bringing clients for lunch too, and they're always very satisfied. Excellent food, great prices, warm and relaxing atmosphere, but Paolo's hospitality and friendliness are the icing on the cake! Highly recommended ;)

10/03/2026: They have tons of super-delicious vegan options! The waiters and waitresses are always super friendly and fast, and the food is excellent for any occasion. The atmosphere is a bit chaotic.

08/03/2026: Excellent Location with plenty of variety, even for those with food intolerances and those with no particular appetite. Very friendly and helpful staff!

08/02/2026: Nothing to say, the location is excellent. The food quality is excellent, excellent value for money. The various types of risotto are definitely worth avoiding.

30/01/2026: Place surrounded by greenery, beautiful location and everything new, romantic dinner, very quiet atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food, the risotto is unmatched, you have to try it

13/03/2026: I stopped for a business lunch. The place is elegant and well-kept, both inside and out (the bathrooms aren't so great, with a broken lock and a broken toilet button). The service was courteous, but not particularly fast. If you choose a first course and side dish, order the second course and leave it over. Otherwise, you'll pay more than the full menu, even if you choose a side dish from the set menu.

08/03/2026: We had dinner at this beautiful restaurant for a friend of ours, a wonderful evening, from the food to the service.

26/01/2026: A place that captivates you from the moment you enter and makes you want to return even before you leave. At Massimo's bar, you'll find not only good food, but also a truly feel-good atmosphere. The aperitifs are thoughtful, plentiful, and tastefully prepared (not the usual four chips thrown in), the quality of the ingredients is evident, and the attention to detail is palpable. The staff are truly the added value: kind, smiling, and professional without being cold. They make you feel like a customer but also a guest. And then the cookies... dangerous level. The kind you say "I'll just try a piece" and then they disappear. A place where you eat well, you feel good, and you're treated well. That's not a given. Really well done 👏

10/01/2026: Massimo is an institution! To those who don't know, it might seem like any other place, but it's not... In the '80s, someone said, "Seeing is believing!" It's not a bar, it's not a pub, and it's not a restaurant; it's an experience. The aperitivo is spectacular, but even a short break becomes a haven of happiness.

22/03/2026: So it's the first time I've been to this place, with the hopes of eating good meat, but unfortunately the evening went very badly even if I appreciate the discount they gave us and the wine offered, so when ordering with the waiter he points out the off-menu dishes, one of which was ribeye; I never had it but I point out to the waitress that I would like something tender and she confirms the "ribeye". After about 20 minutes the first tartare dishes arrive for my friends and they had almost finished eating them but we realize that the wine we chose, which had a price of 26 euros, hadn't arrived yet... but a moment later the waitress arrives telling us the wine we chose was finished and offers us a wine for 42 euros, I would say!!!! The wine has run out even if it's strange in a place that serves meat!! But you have to offer us a wine of a similar value, not that one... then okay, let's overlook this thing, I take the wine menu to choose the wine, she goes away... we call her back as soon as she passes by telling her the wine, but at that moment the meat of our choice arrives, we start eating but we get to eat the meat almost halfway, meat already eaten, the wine hadn't arrived yet, practically I had almost finished dinner without drinking wine, oh I forgot, one of us had finished her dinner without yet drinking... okay, I add that the meat for 2 arrived, on a cutting board for 2 people to keep in the middle but we had no plates and we call the girl back saying bring us the plates thanks!! Okay, let's move on... as I said before, I wanted a tender meat, I didn't know this type of meat. But I'm attaching a photo of what I didn't eat, which was as hard as a rock and full of hard fat. In my opinion, it was cooked incorrectly, but I assure you that in the 800 grams sold, I must have eaten 150 grams of meat. It's a matter of taste, but I wouldn't eat it again, not even for free! In short, I ordered a hamburger sandwich because I was hungry, having eaten nothing except 2 potatoes on the side and the famous 150 grams of terrible meat. Okay, let's move on to dessert, I'll have a brownie. It's good, edible, but it's not a brownie, it's a chocolate sponge cake. That said, I'm sorry to write this because I'm not 20 years old, and I've been to about 4 restaurants in my life, but I like to eat well and I'm used to eating out often. Even though they were kind enough to give us a discount and not charge us for the wine, it wasn't a dinner where I ate well, in fact, it was awful. I wouldn't go back, I'm sorry, but between the service and the dinner, it was a total failure. The photo I posted is what I didn't eat, but it needs to be multiplied by 2 because my friend's other dish is the same... everything to be thrown away, inedible.

18/03/2026: The ingredients aren't bad, but perhaps they weren't treated properly. Some pieces of meat were dry, others were perhaps over-seasoned. For the quality, we spent a bit too much.

08/03/2026: I returned a few years after the management change. A huge disappointment. Good food, friendly staff, but poor service. Lots of confusion with the order and an unforgivable delay in serving the starters. From ordering to the arrival of the last blueberry risottos, there was a wait of over an hour. No change of cutlery, even though they were covered in sauce. The seafood spaghetti was not al dente but rather al dente. Total confusion, I asked for an explanation, but the answer was lost. Never mind!!! At least the coffee was good. N.B. At the time of payment, a gesture of kindness was given: they gave us complimentary liquor and two free bottles. It's appreciated, but the review remains unchanged. Reviews are needed to improve!!!

14/02/2026: The pizzas are very good. The menu isn't very varied. The portions aren't adequate for the price. The atmosphere is nice but too noisy. The staff is friendly and attentive.
