12/06/2026: A quiet and relaxing atmosphere where you can spend a few hours unwinding. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is truly excellent. I absolutely recommend it.

10/06/2026: The atmosphere was enchanting. Alex welcomed us, first introducing us to the restaurant's history and then guiding us through our selection of dishes, masterfully prepared by two young chefs who know their ingredients and can present them sublimely. Thank you for the wonderful experience. See you soon.

21/04/2026: Opposite Visconti Castle, in a very quiet town, while transiting through Malpensa Airport waiting for my flight, I found this beautiful restaurant with incredibly friendly and helpful staff and a Michelin-starred menu. The interior decor is fantastic, with 17th-century stone walls and wooden beams on the roof; it was once the castle's barn. The menu was fantastic, and the chef was very talented. I tried a true Milanese saffron risotto that wasn't even on the menu. The best ever. Great selection, and I'll be back.

06/03/2026: I had a wonderful experience at Castigo. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, with a very authentic Italian vibe that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. The food was excellent 🫶🏼🫶🏼 fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and full of flavor. You can really tell there is care and passion behind each dish. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and have a memorable evening. Definitely a restaurant I would happily return to when in the area. Highly recommended!

27/05/2026: a space cared for in every detail, from the location surrounded by greenery, to the refined and amazing dishes

11/05/2026: We had a truly wonderful time at this restaurant celebrating our First Communion. The welcome was wonderful, the food excellent, and the service truly excellent. We felt pampered from start to finish, right at home. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff, the kitchen, and the pastry shop for their professionalism, kindness, and attention. We will be back with great pleasure!

03/06/2026: I've been to Pio's restaurant several times, and I have to say I've had a great time. The lake fish, in particular, is truly excellent. For meat lovers, the cuts of meat are simply excellent. I recommend booking in advance. Enjoy your meal.

31/05/2026: An elegant and charming location on the banks of the Ticino River. A suitable venue for weddings. Quality ingredients. Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. Good value for money. Recommended.

19/05/2026: Safe to say, this is probably the cheapest pizza you can get in Northern Italy, being one of the few pizzerias near Milan with prices comparable to Naples, and it certainly doesn't disappoint! Freshly made and ready in 5 minutes, with a light airy crust and thin base, so you can enjoy the whole thing guilt-free, just how Italian pizza should be. €5-6 for an entire 12" pizza is a steal, especially when you're this close to Malpensa airport. You are also spoilt for choice on options, so there's something to suit everyone. The service is excellent, with very friendly people that will happily serve you even 10 minutes before closing time. This is just a 5-minute walk from Gallarate Station, which itself is just 2 stops away from Malpensa Airport, so it's well worth stopping by during a layover or before/after a flight.

16/05/2026: Help, the pizzas have shrunk. They used to be large and satisfying, but now I'm left with a pizza that's half the size of the box. What a shame.

09/05/2026: Dinner with a friend. Nice place with music by a pleasant violinist. The service from the girls at the tables was good and friendly. I didn't particularly enjoy the dinner, however; the appetizer offered wasn't much to write home about: 1.10 kg of Irish Angus beef (just decent) with a side of baked potatoes and mixed vegetables (€12, both very reasonable). A glass of Merlot, two beers, and a water. All for over €130. The quality/price ratio was very poor for us; we didn't eat anything special. I rather enjoyed the music and the friendliness of the girls at the tables. Furthermore, all the knives we used, even when asked for more, didn't cut well and weren't even slightly sharp. Finally, the bill was two really opaque receipts, each listing a fixed menu for €65.50... well, if there was anything left, tip the girls.

03/05/2026: I went for lunch on Valentine's Day. No complaints about the food, but I was particularly annoyed by the service. Once we sat down, they didn't even ask if we wanted water first, and we waited 20 minutes, thirsty and impatient, for the waiter, who had taken too long to take an order from the table next to us. Funnily enough, I also saw a colleague of his complaining about his slowness from across the room. As for the meat, my companion said she wanted it a little more rare, but they did as they pleased. In the end, the bill of 170 euros didn't seem appropriate for what I wrote.

13/05/2026: I often go there for meals, they're very friendly and serve super fast. The place is very clean.

04/05/2026: They're the best! Once you go here, you'll see that no other kebab will ever be as good as theirs. They're so kind, as if you were a friend or family member, polite and precise. Everything is incredibly good, a must-visit at least once a month 💪🏻

07/07/2026: During a stay in Florence for hospital reasons, this restaurant became our go-to. We made extensive use of their takeout service and can only praise the entire management. ​The food is delicious, authentic, and carefully prepared, but what really made the difference was the staff. They were incredibly kind, empathetic, and incredibly helpful, accommodating our every need and readily accepting several off-menu variations. ​During a challenging time like the one we were experiencing, their flexibility and smiles were invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking not only for excellent food but also for an exceptionally warm and professional welcome. Thank you for everything!

07/07/2026: Excellent food, a very welcoming atmosphere, and very friendly waiters. The homemade arancello is also a must-try. Highly recommended!

26/04/2026: A charming, charming, and welcoming place. The staff is very friendly without being intrusive. A wide variety of food and drinks, for all budgets. The food is high-quality, well-cooked, and plentiful. It's nice that there's no cover charge. The Chianina rib-eye steak with side dishes and the large mixed grill are excellent. Fair prices. We'll be back to try other dishes. Worth a try.

08/04/2026: Great atmosphere, very friendly waiter. Menu available in several languages. Variety of dishes, very reasonable prices.

06/07/2026: A slice of Naples in Busto Arsizio! Excellent pizza!

05/07/2026: I had higher expectations. The quality of the ingredients was excellent. The knife wasn't suitable for cutting the pizza, and no draft beer. The QR code is annoying, but it's everywhere now. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was fast and courteous. The pizzas weren't worth the price because the combinations were wrong: in the fresh version, the tomato flavor overpowered the prosciutto, and in the one with anchovies, the lemon overpowered the flavors. The pizza dough was good. The limoncello and the herb liqueur were good. The dessert options were too limited.

10/05/2026: We were there a few days ago, what can I say, a sublime experience from every point of view, everything perfect, highly recommended 🔝

25/04/2026: A beautiful evening and thanks again to chef Vinciguerra who pampered us all evening, a very high quality cuisine and a professional and discreet service highly recommended

17/06/2026: Always a guarantee. They're always available, kind, and even respond to WhatsApp. If you arrive late and ask for dinner, they don't tell you the kitchen is already closed; in fact, they always make something for you. They're better than other places that fill up with advertising but have no substance. The sandwiches are delicious, the menu changes regularly, and there are always themed dishes. Children are also welcome, and there are some specials designed for them. There aren't any places like this in the area. Well done!

07/05/2026: You can also enjoy an aperitif for €35 for two. They bring you a platter of cold cuts and cheeses, a small trolley of fried foods, and French fries, along with a drink. Nothing to complain about; we ate very well, and the beer cocktails are also excellent.

22/05/2026: This is our second time staying at this campsite. Very friendly welcome. Not suitable for very large motorhomes. The bathrooms are very modern and clean. The nearby Lido restaurant is highly recommended.

20/05/2026: The sanitary facilities are good. The grounds are good. Lake Maggiore is just a few meters away. Everything is very small, the pitches and especially the paths are extremely narrow.
