19/02/2026: We had a delightful dinner here. Excellent food and wines with gracious service in a cosy, elegant setting. Great choice if you are transiting at Malpensa and have a stopover. The team made us feel very welcome. Grazie Mille

19/02/2026: Very pleasant restaurant! Dishes average €24.00. They suggest a selection of typical Italian dishes. But the chef will prepare something special upon request. Good wine list! You can park nearby in the public parking lot.

30/12/2025: An intimate and family-friendly place, with qualified and professional staff, top-quality cuisine and wine list. In short, everything was perfect! Top!

21/12/2025: Excellent restaurant. Welcoming and refined atmosphere. The dishes on the menu are very good. Portions are adequate. Montemagno wine cellar. The host is exceptional in describing the dishes. I recommend

10/01/2026: All the staff were friendly and fast! Very good food, highly recommended!

05/01/2026: I was truly impressed by Viro Gallarate. From the moment we arrived, you could tell it was a special place: the staff was warm, professional, and attentive to our every need without ever being intrusive. The dishes are simply excellent. Each course is a perfect balance of flavors, freshness, and creativity. The ingredients are high-quality and enhanced by meticulous attention to detail. The presentation is elegant and inviting, and every bite confirms the passion behind each recipe. The menu offers excellent choices for both those who love traditional dishes and those seeking something more innovative. The service is impeccable: fast, courteous, and knowledgeable about the dishes and wines. The staff was able to offer expert and friendly advice, making the experience even more enjoyable. You can sense genuine customer care. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a thoughtful design that combines elegance and comfort. Whether it's a romantic dinner, a lunch with friends, or a special occasion, the restaurant lends itself perfectly to any setting. The lighting and table arrangement create a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.

12/01/2026: The Arno flows through Cortiletto! Perfect Fiorentina, promises a true Florentine 🎹 Ambience, staff, service, quality… for me, the absolute best.

24/12/2025: Very well-prepared cuisine. Excellent dishes.

07/01/2026: Stumbled upon it by chance, very satisfied. Very fast service and excellent burgers. Well done!!

26/12/2025: Everything was excellent, but it's a shame that some dishes were off-menu and weren't told about them. We only discovered them by looking at the neighboring tables, and we would have happily eaten them instead of the cold cuts.

26/02/2026: Excellent place for both dinners with friends and romantic dinners, punctual and friendly service, warm atmosphere and excellent food and drinks.

28/01/2026: Thank you for making our day special! We relied on them for a simple lunch after a civil ceremony. They took their time and respected our every request, from the table setting to the menu selection (the egg with truffle was amazing), quality meat, and an excellent wine selection! The atmosphere was welcoming and the service attentive. Thank you again for everything. Gaia & Davide

04/02/2026: Amazing experience throughout - before entering the restaurant we were greeted by the owners. The service was quick and attentive, food fresh and deliciously served and place had a great vibe where locals seem to attend as well. Staff spoke a good English and were able to recommend a good selection of dishes. Overall highly recommended.

02/02/2026: Amazing restaurant, beautiful location, super friendly staff, and amazing food.

10/11/2025: Really good food, freshly made. It does take a bit longer, but it's worth the wait. The atmosphere is beautiful, with a view of the Ticino River across the street.

09/11/2025: We went to this restaurant this year for my daughter's confirmation. We had agreed on the menu a few weeks in advance, but during lunch, a fish appetizer was forgotten. I mentioned this at checkout, but they didn't show any availability: the lady, rather rudely, replied that the price had already been agreed upon. I was disappointed: if they had paid more attention to the customer, they should have at least deducted the price of the appetizer, which costs around €14-18 per person à la carte. I didn't think this was fair, although I'm not one to argue. I'm sorry, but I wasn't satisfied with either the food or the service. I only compliment the waiters, who were very kind and attentive, but otherwise, the cuisine needs updating.

02/12/2025: Fast service and professional, friendly baristas. Fresh food and well-made cappuccino. The place is a bit small but cozy.

28/11/2025: The ideal place to buy pastries, baked goods, have breakfast, or simply enjoy a sweet treat with their amazing croissants. Everything is delicious, with a wide selection. Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. A must try.

28/02/2026: Excellent restaurant, beautiful location, especially for parties and receptions. The outdoor space is pleasant and perfect for a relaxing post-lunch/dinner stroll. Highly recommended.

21/02/2026: Diodona is a gem nestled in the greenery of the Lombard Prealps, between Varese and Como: an old farmhouse transformed into a refined venue, surrounded by several hectares of parkland with a garden, a greenhouse, and a slow-paced atmosphere. The ambiance is elegant yet warm, rustic-chic with touches of class—perfect for intimate dinners, special occasions, or weddings, but also for a gourmet evening without the overly formality. The service is attentive, professional, and friendly, with a relaxed pace, sometimes almost too relaxed, that perfectly complements the location. We started with a canapé (on a black base, probably squid ink bread): not bad. Marinated or smoked salmon with a spiced cream, currants, and micro-herbs. Fresh, balanced between smoky, acidic, and creamy. Followed by a platter of cured meats and raw meats: firm and flavorful beef tartare, sciatt soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, excellent prosciutto crudo, bresaola, salami, and several types of cheese. The quality of the ingredients is evident, the presentation elegant without being overbearing. As for the first course: ravioli in rosé cream: the most memorable dish. A velvety sauce (light bisque), generous pieces of fresh shrimp, citrus zest, and fine herbs. The sweetness of the crustacean, the citrus acidity, and the perfect creaminess—impeccable, yet not heavy technique. Finally, two delicious options. A nougat parfait with Aurum sauce, and I absolutely loved the blueberry tart with its grappa ice cream. One was creamier, with vanilla cream, yellow coulis, fresh red berries, and strawberry—fresh, tart, and not cloying. The other was a shared dessert with grappa ice cream, moist, delicious, and beautifully strong. In short: high-quality, seasonal cuisine with attention to the ingredients, meticulous presentation, and balanced portions. The timing between courses could be improved: waiting more than half an hour for a first course seems a bit excessive.

18/09/2025: Simply fantastic! Great value for money. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating is on the street, but it's very quiet and there's little traffic. We'd love to come back.

04/08/2025: Very cool place, with delicious coffee and pastries! The service is fast, they are very kind, and if you eat there, they bring your order to your table. "Homely", heartwarming, it was always a good feeling to go in and sit there. I recommend it to everyone! :)

15/01/2026: I've been a customer of this pizzeria for over two years, following its development and always appreciating the pizza and punctual service. Lately, I've noticed increasingly frequent delays, likely due to increased customer traffic. To these small inconveniences, the new year has also seen a significant price increase that hasn't gone unnoticed. Given that the ingredients used seem the same as always and the shopping cart isn't more expensive than a few months ago, I don't agree with the new policy.

29/12/2025: Delicious pizza, and the nicest service🙌

14/12/2025: A fantastic experience at Cherì, a seafood restaurant I absolutely recommend. We started with a mix of raw and hot appetizers, all delicious: the raw seafood was incredibly fresh and of the highest quality. This was followed by a spectacular pan-fried dish with whole lobster, scampi, corn on the cob, and prawns: a rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked dish. To conclude, spaghetti with clams, scampi, and bottarga—simply exceptional. A balance of flavors that made the whole experience unique. Definitely worth repeating. Kudos to the staff and the kitchen!

13/12/2025: A refined and quiet place, but equally suitable for anyone who appreciates good seafood. The rosemary scampi are exceptional, without detracting from the rest of the dishes. The portions are large... compared to other restaurants. Something to keep in mind when ordering. Congratulations to everyone.

28/12/2025: For a brief moment, I thought this place might be suitable for us... However, at €1.50 per kilowatt-hour, it's uninteresting. I don't even pay that much at our overpriced campsites in Switzerland. Bye bye

23/12/2025: This campsite on Lake Maggiore absolutely delighted us. The location is simply unbeatable – just steps from the lake. Dogs are welcome (please check the website for the dates!). From our pitch, we had a fantastic view and could enjoy the sunrise over the water every morning. The campsite facilities are excellent: modern showers, always clean toilets, and even a small restaurant with delicious Italian dishes. What we particularly liked was the peaceful atmosphere, which makes the campsite an ideal place to relax, as well as its proximity to towns like Stresa, which can be reached in a short time. Perfect for anyone who wants to combine nature, tranquility, and comfort. A definite favorite for us!

02/01/2026: Delicious food and good wine Friendly service and a family atmosphere Delicious cold cuts and cheeses from local farmers We recommend visiting this place

01/01/2026: Excellent place for a set lunch. Ideal for when you don't feel like cooking. It's the restaurant I'd recommend first if a tourist or friend asked me for recommendations. Simple cuisine that covers 90% of your needs; friendly service and reasonable prices. The only drawback: the ginseng; I tried it a couple of times, but it wasn't satisfying.
