I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Monza e della brianza

17/02/2025: Delicious, beautiful cakes, great availability given the short notice period. Excellent vegan cake!

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

15/07/2025: clean place, the only thing I waited a little too long to pay

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.

31/07/2025: I ran into an old friend of mine who I hadn't seen in years. The place is a great hangout, and we had a couple of rounds of beers. I would have preferred more appetizers, but the beers are excellent and the staff is incredibly friendly. I'll definitely be back to see if we can get a 5-star rating.

11/07/2025: I had an aperitif dinner; the food itself was good, and the price-quality ratio was fair. The waiters' behavior was disappointing when we pointed out the problem of wasps circling the table. I understand it's not an easy problem to resolve, and I don't expect it to be resolved right away, but I do expect the waiters to at least address me politely and seek a solution. That, however, was truly lacking. What a shame!

23/08/2025: I arrived at the store at 6:36 PM/7 and it was closed, UNACCEPTABLE! The website and the door said "Open at 6:30 PM." Inside, there was no one to call, and the lights were off! I had to go to Vimercate, which is nearby, and I found it open. I recommend it to anyone looking for fast, friendly service.

21/08/2025: Good place, nice and friendly staff.

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.

31/07/2025: Fast food at Porto Cervo prices. Business lunch €22 for a pizza and a beer. Paid €2.50 for a cover charge with a placemat and a paper napkin, no bread. Not good.

29/07/2025: A colleague and I went for lunch today. I had a Caesar salad and he had casoncelli. The dishes were decent, but unfortunately the bill was steep. A Caesar salad, water, and coffee totaled €25. I had read the menu, which was generally expensive and not suitable for a business lunch. We won't be back because it was out of our budget. The service was attentive and fast.

08/04/2025: Siamo stati con amici a pranzare in questa struttura ospitata nell'Istituto di agraria del Parco di Monza. Abbiamo mangiato abbastanza bene (non benissimo: le pappardelle sapevano un po di poco ed il filetto di maialino era tenero ma si sentiva solo il dolce del miele e non anche la senape) ed i prezzi erano in linea con la media locale. Ciò che ha deluso è un po lo stato del locale: i bagni in particolar modo veramente non da ristorante, probabilmente dipendono dalla scuola di agraria e per questo la domenica sono abbandonati al loro destino.

30/03/2025: Abbiamo fatto un aperibio…ottimo e abbondante. Tutto fatto a regola d’arte. Gentilezza e disponibilità anche per chi ha intolleranze. Location impareggiabile!

06/06/2025: They deliberately over charge you if they think you are a tourist, be careful and check the prices, especially with drinks. We speak fluent Italian and have lived here for years, but they presumed we were tourists because we spoke English together as a family. Not a good experience unfortunately with poor quality food served (nothing like the photos online).

01/06/2025: Everything was perfect, the spritz was delicious and the food was good and plentiful. The staff was also very kind and the place was very quiet, close to the Lambro.

09/08/2025: Mosquitoes everywhere (we were inside). My pizza was decent (porchetta, etc.). I tried the Margherita, and it was tasteless.

22/05/2025: Generous portions, extensive menu of both traditional meat/fish and vegetarian and vegan choices. In good weather you can eat outside on the terrace. They are all kind! The environment is informal.

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.

09/08/2025: I recently had the opportunity to try this restaurant, booking through The Fork to take advantage of their discounts. However, the experience was disappointing. Let's start with the service: only one waitress, unwelcoming and inattentive to the tables (despite the practically empty dining room). To get the missing dishes, one of us had to get up and ask for them ourselves. The quality of the food was poor: the lasagna was warm on the edges and cold on the inside, and the platters were disappointing. The tagliatelle, on the other hand, were very good. I still expected a better experience. Unfortunately, the value for money was terrible, even with The Fork's discount. I don't think I'll try again. Update to the restaurant's response: Thank you for your reply. However, I'd like to clarify a few things. The fries were ordered with the other dishes, but we had to ask for them again because they never arrived. The reorder you mention was for the gnocco fritto (which was definitely not unlimited as advertised). Furthermore, the lasagna wasn't completely consumed, contrary to what was claimed. I'd also like to point out that we arrived at 7:20 PM and were left outside the restaurant until it officially opened at 7:30 PM. Upon opening, we were given no greeting or apology for the wait. This kind of impersonal treatment might be expected at a fast food restaurant, but not at a place that aims to offer a different experience.

03/08/2025: The food was good, unfortunately out of 7 out of 5 we ended up with diarrhea... The girl who served was very kind... Too bad

03/06/2025: I paid by card, they took money from me for a drink, not even asking if I wanted it, on the receipt they gave me a full menu, well done,…

19/05/2025: I ordered a simple pizza with chips to take away and it took 1h 30 min to wait, I had to cancel the order because it wasn't ready yet...

10/07/2025: Excellent cuisine Excellent Pizza A place to frequent often

03/07/2025: Excellent coffee, good croissants
