I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Monza e della brianza

21/10/2025: Great pizza and fair price thanks

18/10/2025: Very good pizza, same prices! Well done

15/10/2025: I ordered a tart for my daughter's birthday. It weighs around two kilos, 2.2 at most, the man taking the order tells me. The cost will therefore be around €65. Unfortunately, on the day of collection, we were charged €86 for a tart weighing a generous 2.6 kilos. They say the fruit is heavy... yet there wasn't that much fruit. It seemed more like a homemade cake than a pastry shop cake. The fruit was arranged in rows with plenty of space between them. Not to mention the pastry, hard as a rock... a decidedly negative experience both for the price, €20 more than estimated, and for the quality of the product.

11/06/2025: Great sandwiches, great service, great atmosphere too

11/06/2025: Lovely little veranda café-bar in the heart of the greenery of Monza Park. Terrace. Quiet in the morning, livelier at midday and in the evening. Friendly staff

18/09/2025: good bakery in a nice spot in Monza good baked goods, simple but not very attentive service, the platter with baked goods although very good with aperitif for 2 people 20 euros 2 bottled beers but it consisted of 2 slices of focaccia and a pizza, it should be taken care of considerably if you want to increase in this solution excellent potential,

27/07/2025: I arrived around 5:30 PM. The tables were 20 centimeters apart. I could hear the conversations of the people at my neighbors more than the voice of the friend I was sitting with. The pigeons were eating the crumbs from the next table. And to make matters worse, the waitress asked me to pay immediately, not after I'd finished my drink, looking at me like I was a thief. There was no receipt. Congratulations. I wanted to order another drink, but I got up and went to another bar for an aperitif. Terrible.

22/10/2025: Shameful!!! This is the second time I've ordered piadinas online, and once I picked them up, surprise: they're really TERRIBLY made, with very little toppings, practically nonexistent prosciutto, and squaquerone or mozzarella cheese, you can't find it with binoculars. At almost €7 a piadina, you expect to at least eat decently. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 In a hurry, I stopped for a quick piadina. I tell myself, it's been a while, let's try again! Totally wrong choice. I opted for the piadina: La Dorata with the addition of grilled zucchini. Terrible! Stuffed with frittata, and so far so good. It's eggs. It should have had Montasio DOP cheese, but only tiny bits of what was actually more like Parmesan cheese were detected, placed on a small side of the piada, but they were almost nonexistent. The zucchini, which should have been grilled, were actually diced, not sliced, and most importantly, visibly boiled, not grilled. The result was a bland piadina, tasteless and lacking in everything. How about mocking the customer? Goodbye, Ma forever!!!

02/10/2025: THE PARKING LOT Arrival. First mission: parking. The parking lot isn't Malpensa Airport, but it's not the dead-end street outside my house either: a space shared with American Graffiti. A sort of car condominium, but I always find my spot in the end. And that, in itself, puts me in a good mood. THE ROOM: LIGHT, AIR, AND STRESS-FREE TABLES I enter and breathe. It's an airy, bright place, with enough tables to avoid ending up eating on your neighbor's knee. Here, the concept of "fast food" doesn't just mean "eating quickly," but also "not staying too long": and so the turnover is natural, a bit like the tides. If you want a seat, don't despair: there's almost always a place to find. THE MENU "La Piadineria" is a chain, and it shows: the layout and menu are replicated like a successful copy-and-paste. But at least the piadina can be customized: regular, whole wheat, and even a few variations that make those who have recently made peace with the scale feel less guilty. A wide selection, even for chronically indecisive palates. SERVICE Here, the story becomes epic. Behind the counter, there's almost always just one person: a human multitasker who darts between the register and the coffee machine with the grace of a caffeinated hummingbird. The result? The line gets longer, people huff and puff, the neurotic ones start their foot-tapping dance. Then, finally, you order, and, surprise, the piadina arrives as fast as lightning. WELCOME: CHRONICLE OF AN ABSENCE FORETOLD Don't expect Hollywood smiles or greetings: here, no one asks "how are you." But it's not rudeness, it's survival. When you work with lines of impatient hungry people, the time for "welcome" evaporates. PRICE AND QUALITY: THE BILL (ALMOST) PAYS OFF Here comes the trickiest part: the price. It's not exactly "fast food" (forget the €5 menu with a drink included). But the quality is there; the piadina is good and easy to digest. CONCLUSION "La Piadineria" is the perfect place for a quick break that won't make you miss the company cafeteria. An experience that balances pragmatism and the poetry of simplicity. Final rating: three stars (with a round of applause for the counter athlete, who deserves a gold medal).

21/07/2025: I expected something more in terms of flavour for the veg dishes, the staff was friendly.

08/07/2025: Good food, original and fun vegan options, and a lovely place. The only downside is that it's almost impossible to contact Hug online, and nowhere does it say they only accept reservations by phone (unlike many other places). Despite that, on the day of my reservation, I tried to call to say I was running late. I tried five times, and it was still busy... I'll be back, but I won't make the mistake of trying to book again.

06/10/2025: Excellent croissants in a modern and friendly atmosphere. Excellent breakfast, but also lunch, pastries, breads, and healthy options. Helpful and friendly staff. Right in the heart of Monza.

27/09/2025: We had breakfast here on a busy Saturday and one of the staff members went above and beyond to help us non Italian speakers understand the menu and to place our order. The fresh juice was delicious and so was the pinsa! Another staff member also came with some candy for our dogs. All in all highly recommend!

16/10/2025: I often pass through the area for work and enjoy stopping here. It's a great place for a quick break. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is quick. Barbara, in particular, is always kind and smiling, something that's becoming increasingly rare these days. A small gesture that really makes a difference!

15/10/2025: For work, I often travel around Lombardy. Today I stopped at the Torri Bianche for a quick break and found a really nice and cheerful saleswoman at the counter: Thanks to Barbara for the delicious coffee affogato she made me... It really made my day 👍👍👍

09/10/2025: Not recommended. I never write negative reviews, but this time I had no choice. A dish served with a hair, prices higher than the menu without any warning, and a bill that was €20 more than it should have been. Avoid.

06/09/2025: I've never seen worse service, an hour of waiting for a table and another hour for a plate of pasta... only two girls to manage everything, you ask for something and obviously a second later it's all forgotten.

27/09/2025: Nice place with a tobacconist, good beer, the price of a juice is a bit too high at 4 euros. And I thought the aperitif would be a bit more substantial. The rest of the place is clean.

19/05/2025: Excellent pastry shop in Desio, can make gluten-free or normal cakes. We have a guest intolerant to gluten, we used the latter and I must say that it was really beautiful and good! The owner at first sight seemed very sure of herself and now we know why! Just look at what a beautiful cake she made, a few instructions were enough and the result was fully achieved!

11/05/2025: I purchased some pastries on May 10th for my birthday, thinking I would receive fresh produce of the day. After the purchase, upon my request, I was issued an indemnity to take to a place and only then, as written, did I discover that the desserts were not fresh and had been produced on 8-9 May (deadline reported as 13 May). Unfortunately, the quality confirmed my doubts: the pastries were not good, the creams were hard, the puff pastry was dry and the cannoncini were soft. It all felt stale. Obviously they advanced, it was awkward with the guests. In the photo you can notice the soft and stale appearance of the cannoncino that I tried to eat this morning, I'll let you imagine the flavour. All this for a good 40 euros (wasted) for just over 30 pastries. Bad experience, won't be back. I do not recommend.

15/08/2025: I've had takeout pizzas, and they're really good and light. They stayed that way even when you got them home, whereas they usually become rubbery after takeout. Congratulations 👍

21/06/2025: Pulcinella a guarantee, excellent pizza and super staff. See you soon.

01/09/2025: Terrible experience: the piadina was practically just salad, there were barely 5 grams of chicken, never again

26/07/2025: Excellent piadina, well-cooked and well-filled. The staff is very fast and friendly. I highly recommend this place.
