12/07/2025: Probably few people know how to eat a properly made Neapolitan pizza, which is why this pizza is so renowned in Varese. Unfortunately, it doesn't live up to expectations: one pizza is square, the other oval, the toppings only in the center of the Margherita (this happens when you put it on the peel and don't re-arrange the toppings; it's a mistake due to haste), the dough doesn't develop well, the crust is uneven, the inside is sometimes raw (you could make a ball with the crumb of the crust), the center of the pizza is so thin it's nonexistent. It's a shame because I think they have the potential to do better, but perhaps they're content with the reputation they've already earned.

05/07/2025: A birthday, an experience. I had read an article about this restaurant and, intrigued, I decided to book for my birthday dinner. I call it an experience because the food was truly unique and refined. A great combination of flavors and quality. An explosion of joy for my taste buds. I'll be back!

22/06/2025: Olio. Elegance and promises, but the journey to the Star is still long Olio, located in Origgio and mentioned in the prestigious Michelin guide, offers a gastronomic experience that initially conquers for its aesthetic and sensorial impact, but is not free from some flaws that still limit its leap towards the deserved Star. The location is undoubtedly a strong point: elegant, well-kept, large and refined in the details, with a wise choice of high-quality materials. The table linen, extremely soft and pleasant to the touch, and the seats, comfortable and well-chosen, further enrich the general comfort. The environment amazes with suggestive scenography, illuminated by sophisticated light effects and embellished with authentic vintage cars that give the place a unique charm. The only shame is the slightly insufficient lighting in the area adjacent to the terrace, a detail that needs to be improved to fully enhance the atmosphere. The chef's culinary proposal certainly reveals talent and balance, wisely blending simple and quality ingredients. The smoked scallop appetizer is remarkable and memorable, masterfully accompanied by agretti and a light blown hollandaise sauce. The spring acqua cotta is also surprising for its freshness and brilliance, although the egg protagonist deserved a touch more attention in cooking. Among the first courses, the rabbit-filled buttons paired with lobster stand out: an intriguing combination, successful in flavor, even if the lobster would have benefited from a slightly shorter cooking time. The mezzeri rigatoni with sea urchin and scampi carbonara are decidedly disappointing: served lukewarm and with the flavor overwhelmingly dominated by the egg, the dish leaves the seafood ingredients totally unexpressed. Among the second courses, the fritto misto stands out positively, cooked to perfection and without any trace of grease, enhanced by the excellent freshness of the fish and the red mullet, the absolute protagonist. The remoulade sauce proposed as an accompaniment, however, leaves one speechless: yogurt and cucumber fail to harmonize with the dish. The lamb is instead a true triumph of intensity, splendidly accompanied by a ristretto intenso and morels, an impeccable pairing. A note of merit for the waiting staff, attentive and kind, in particular for the young maître, competent and attentive. However, a flaw emerges: an excess of apprenticeship staff, who despite showing education and brilliance, inevitably appear inexperienced and hesitant. A more balanced choice in the staff mix would certainly be preferable. Another sore point is the absence of a dedicated sommelier, essential in an ambitious restaurant. A good sommelier guides you in choosing the wine and can expertly describe the wine chosen by the customer. Here that figure is missing. Furthermore, returning to the generic staff, too often the glass remains empty, leaving one to perceive a lack of sufficient waiters to best manage the large number of tables. Ultimately, Olio a Origgio is a restaurant that certainly deserves a Michelin star, but it still lacks that pinch of audacity, originality and attention to detail that could allow it to take the decisive step towards winning the much-coveted star.

11/07/2025: Delicious pizza and super fast service! Unfortunately, we had to eat inside! There was no room outside!

10/07/2025: One of the best pizzas I ate. Great reread lovely ladies who helped us. They have a menu with crayons for kids which our 4 year old loved. Highly recommend.

22/06/2025: My business associate and I stayed at the Hotel Osteria della Pista in late June. We had a very nice experience! First, they have their own shuttle van service to MXP, which was very handy. We had a day off and their shuttle driver took us to and picked us up from MXP so we could take the express train into Milan. In Milan, we went to the Leonardo da Vinci Museum, which we highly recommend. In addition to being a nice hotel, they have an outstanding restaurant, which we also highly recommend! Everyone was very nice and fluent in English. During the trip, we also explored several restaurants near the hotel and had wonderful meals. Some of the smaller restaurants did not speak much English, but there were no problems, and we had wonderful dishes. Of note was the Sempione Hotel Ristorante, which is owned by the same family as the Osteria della Pista. We found the shuttle van driver to be exceptionally friendly and helpful. Next time we are in town, this will be our go to!

21/06/2025: I would recommend staying at this hotel And having dinner at its restaurant

27/06/2025: We were a group of friends, we ate pinsa, seafood paella, mixed fried fish with vegetables and chips, dessert, all drinking sangria. The paella (good) price a bit too high for the quantity served, a pan to share for everyone, ditto the mixed fried fish with vegetables and chips.

23/06/2025: I have to say absolutely good, really good food 1 Delicious mussels marinara and the tomato sauce to say the least divine amazing! Very tasty fried food not greasy and of various fish together they give you vegetables batter tea and chips, the only thing the chips I would put the classic ones. Angus steak very good tender and tasty together with vegetables and potatoes. House rosé wine sparkling and very fruity accompanies the whole dinner. Millefoglie with chantilly cream very fragrant Service despite the Sunday evening where the staff arrives a little cooked, they were good and the only two waiters did their service admirably Excellent price! I am happy that there are businesses of this level where I find what I like without showing off, local service but above all good products made admirably :) :)

09/07/2025: Feeling right at home, a seafood evening with excellent value, fast, attentive service. Highly recommended, see you next time!!

28/06/2025: It had been a while since we came for dinner...we found an excellent quality of exceptional dishes and the owner very courteous with a smile always available for every request we recommend it to everyone...compliments to the chef!

19/06/2025: Very pretty frame! Then very good food. I recommend

19/06/2025: At Premiata Gnoccheria e Risotteria it is impossible to go only once: the first time to try the trio of risottos, the second time for the trio of gnocchi (spoiler: you will want a third time just to repeat it all over again). Generous, tasty and creative dishes, with excellent attention to quality. The place is truly evocative, with a beautiful stone vault that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for those who love comfort food done well, but with style.
