01/02/2026: A nice, discreet restaurant, a friend of mine's favorite. The staff are friendly and courteous. The location on the lake is beautiful. The fish was very good, as were the side dishes.

01/02/2026: I didn't like the dish they brought me. I didn't like the oily "voncia" as they call it. The atmosphere was very simple, almost rustic.

30/01/2026: Kind and friendly. Congratulations!

18/01/2026: Wonderful atmosphere, rustic yet elegant. We specifically were in a room with a vaulted ceiling and hanging wine racks, marvelous. The service was impeccable, and especially the food and the staff in the dining room were prompt. Excellent food, generous portions, we shared the appetizer we ordered (a normal person can easily fill up if they eat it alone), and the gnocchi were amazing; after all, Pastificio Dò never disappoints... Special mention for the gnocchi with bottarga, wonderful.

18/01/2026: This restaurant specializes in gnocchi and risotto in the historic center of Varese, occupying the charming spaces of an old cellar, giving the place a cozy and characteristic atmosphere. The cuisine focuses on homemade potato gnocchi and a long list of risottos, featuring both classic and more creative and seasonal combinations. There are also options for pairing two or three first courses to sample the various products. The first courses are truly excellent, tasty, with local pairings and generous portions. The setting is rustic and very well-kept, the spaces are well-managed, and the atmosphere is truly typical of a cellar, yet refined. The restaurant is very popular, so reservations are highly recommended. Prices are average, especially considering the location in the pedestrian area of ​​Varese, right in the city center. Recommended!

It's more than just a meal, but a true journey through traditional flavors, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a lunch or dinner filled with conviviality and good food. The Appetizer: The Ritual of Panigacci The experience can only begin with the dish that gives the restaurant its name. Their panigacci, served hot and fragrant, are simply exceptional. We chose to order them as an appetizer, and they proved to be a winning choice: they are accompanied by a platter of select cured meats that melt in your mouth, creamy cheeses with a bold flavor, and perfectly cooked sautéed mushrooms. The combination of the warmth of the panigaccio and the freshness of the ingredients creates a contrast of flavors and textures that prepares the palate in the best possible way. The Queen of the Table: The Florentine Steak The true heart of the menu, however, is the meat. The restaurant specializes in Florentine steak, and the mastery of its preparation is evident from the very first glance. We tasted top-quality cuts of meat, impeccably aged for exceptional tenderness. The cooking was executed to perfection, preserving the marbling of the cut and releasing the intense, succulent flavor that only great restaurants can offer. It's rare to find such consistent quality in the ingredients. Side Dishes and Details Another strength that's often overlooked in other restaurants, but not here, are the side dishes. The options are varied and truly delicious, prepared with fresh ingredients that don't just complement the main course, but further elevate it. From the flavorful potatoes to the seasonal vegetables, everything tastes homely and authentic. Location and Atmosphere This triumph of flavors is set in a splendid and characteristic location. The rustic style of the restaurant, with its wood and stone details, creates a warm, intimate, and welcoming atmosphere. It's a place where you immediately feel at ease, far from the hustle and bustle and immersed in a setting steeped in history and good old-fashioned cuisine. The attentive and knowledgeable staff contributes to a smooth and pleasant service, without ever being intrusive. Conclusion In short, "I Panigacci" is a guarantee for those who love real meat and authentic flavors. Whether for a special occasion or a family Sunday, you'll leave here fully satisfied and eager to book your next visit right away. A place to keep in your heart and on your GPS!

If you want to make a good impression and eat very well, make a reservation.

01/02/2026: In the province of Varese, in a quiet area, this restaurant serves traditional Palermo cuisine. Everything is excellent: arancini (both meat and butter), baked meat ravazzata, sfincione, fried calzone, iris, ricotta parcel, and, of course, cannoli. Fried skewers with ragu are available by reservation. There's a terrace outside where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Parking is available next to the entrance. Friendly staff and fair prices (average €3.50 each).
