I migliori ristoranti in Monza e della brianza

08/07/2025: Non è un posto cattivo, ma neppure un posto in cui tornerei di corsa. Il locale si presenta un po' vecchio negli arredi e nelle stoviglie. Il servizio è, seppur simpatico, un po' lento ed impreciso. La qualità delle pizze è assolutamente nella norma (io ho preso una salsiccia e friarielli), nulla di più, non ci sono proposte particolarmente interessanti.

17/06/2025: Riscrivo, delusione per l'ennesima volta, ordiniamo antipasto napoletano da 12€ e arrivano i stuzzichini surgelati da2€,presi di fronte a Aldi, stavolta mai più ...

12/07/2025: Posto splendido a prima vista: una vecchia fattoria ristrutturata con gusto eclettico, arredi vintage probabilmente recuperati con cura, atmosfera rilassata, personale gentile. Anche l’odore persistente di stalla è coerente con l’esperienza di campagna — fastidioso, sì, ma fa parte del contesto e non lo consideriamo un difetto. Ma veniamo al punto. Il brunch prevede un menu fisso a 49€ a persona, comunicato a voce, con una selezione apparentemente “curata” di piatti fatti in casa. Tre antipasti sotto forma di palline (uova, formaggio, polenta), qualche assaggio di formaggi locali, un “tagliere” di salumi che consisteva in otto pezzettini di salame e due fettine sottili di mortadella per due persone. Nessuna carne, nessun pesce, tutto a base di formaggi, pane e farina. A seguire: un risotto e una pasta al pesto, ben cucinati — e fin qui ci siamo. Ma il punto critico è che in un posto che si chiama “La Bottanica”, situato in una fattoria, nel cuore dell’estate, non ci sia nemmeno un’insalata, un pomodoro fresco, una verdura cruda, neanche su richiesta insistente. La sola alternativa offerta è stata una panzanella, che era più che altro una zuppa di pane e aceto, con verdure quasi annullate. Il dolce buono, ma non memorabile. A parte, una bottiglia di vino cafe e Aqua (bevande e coperto esclusi dal prezzo fisso). Il tutto? 147 euro per due persone. Siamo in una campagna lombarda, non in un rooftop di Tokyo. Con tutto il rispetto per la qualità delle materie prime e il lavoro fatto in casa, è difficile giustificare un prezzo da ristorante stellato per un menu completamente privo di ingredienti costosi. Peccato, perché il posto ha un potenziale enorme. Ma il rapporto tra ciò che ti servono e quanto ti fanno pagare resta, a nostro parere, totalmente squilibrato. Siamo volentieri a disposizione per un confronto costruttivo con la proprietà che abbiamo visto rispondere in maniera serena e pacata in altre recensioni.

07/07/2025: Sono stata qui per festeggiare il mio compleanno insieme alla mia famiglia e amici, siamo tutti rimasti contenti sia del cibo, della cortesia e premura del personale che della location unica e bellissima. La consiglio a tutti!

02/12/2025: A pure 3-star hotel. Welcoming and clean rooms. Good mattresses. A bit neglected in the stairwell, elevator, and hallways. Average breakfast. In short, an honest hotel with average prices.

15/11/2025: Right in the city center, very accesible

22/11/2025: The waiter was very rude and offensive towards me. I strongly advise against coming to this bar. I had a very unpleasant experience, not to mention the fingers in the glasses. In response to your reply, I'm sorry to contradict you, but he wasn't rude in asking for my ID, but rather in his subsequent responses. As a waiter, did he feel freer to be rude? As you say, he's there to work, not to talk back or act superior. That said, we won't be coming back because of this attitude. Have a good day.

28/10/2025: Gelato as good as in southern Italy, highly recommended.

13/10/2025: Kind people and excellent piadina!

28/02/2026: I'm only talking about the pastries since I haven't tried the rest (coffee and snacks/piadinas). The Fiamma is one of the best I've ever tasted, as is the pistachio cannoncino. Even the half-chocolate shortbread is really well-made. 👌

03/02/2026: Good coffee, accompanied by fresh pastries

06/12/2025: I suffer from claustrophobia, when I entered I was scared, the place was tiny, I have to bark to communicate with the staff and therefore I had difficulty in ordering the pizza, there was a little dog called Yasso serving me that kind of Neapolitan stuff to chew in his little mouth

13/10/2025: Kind people and excellent piadina!

18/09/2025: Of all the La Piadineria group locations I frequent, this is undoubtedly the worst: the service is terrible, and the staff is reluctant to welcome customers, even going so far as to complain if they pay with meal vouchers. Opening and closing times are often not respected, a sign of a lack of professionalism and organization. And as if that weren't enough, the food is borderline decency: the piadinas often seem carelessly prepared, thrown together just for the sake of it. I've been back several times, hoping for improvement, but the problems have recurred every time. For me, this is a place to absolutely avoid: I will never set foot there again, and I strongly advise against it.

04/11/2025: The owner's desire to offer good service and an adequate product deserves positive recognition.

30/07/2025: So I can only tell you that I've never left a review even if I didn't like a place or venue. But guys, really avoid this one if you can.

10/03/2025: A business dinner to forget. The ribs were burnt, if not charred. The staff was average but tending to be absent. The only delicious touch was the apple tart with ice cream. The place was clean but sterile.

22/02/2025: Solito Roadhouse, del resto da una catena ti attendi che lo stile, la qualità e in generale tutto il format di offerta sia lo stesso dovunque tu vada. Purtroppo in questo caso una delle poche variabili non controllate dall'alto è saltata. Il locale era freddo, per problemi all'impianto di riscaldamento. Succede, ma quando poi senti che sono giorni e che non hanno ancora "avuto il tempo" di chiamare l'assistenza per irparare il guasto, beh, allora c'è un problema.

16/10/2025: Friendly and easy-going managers, girls who serve you an amazing "babbuccio" (cappuccino) with a smile 😋

01/08/2025: I would have gladly given the service a zero. Rude, arrogant, and haughty. They'll never see me again.

01/02/2026: Pizza is so-so, staff are not very welcoming.

16/10/2025: Low-quality pizza, very poor quality, poor leavening, high prices that don't match those listed on the flyer. Never again! I'm giving it one star because it's the best I can give.

09/10/2025: Fantastic new breakfast! Croissants of every flavor, even filled to order. Excellent selection of fresh biscuits and cannoli filled to order, as well as muffins and shortbread.

12/07/2025: Perhaps in pursuit of maximizing revenue on Saturday afternoons, they don't serve coffee... only cocktails. Immediate payment. A beautiful corner of Monza, it's a shame we can't enjoy it due to the pursuit of unpleasant and useless commercial policies.

28/02/2026: I ask for a ristretto. Then, as normal as can be, I ask for a drop of hot water to dilute it. All hell breaks loose: all hell breaks loose. I was literally verbally assaulted for a couple of inches of water that, according to the man at the bar, I should have paid for because "that would make it an Americano." Being in that surreal scene with my young son present was already embarrassing. But the serious thing is the absurdity of the logic used to justify such behavior. Objective premise: – The ristretto is less coffee, but I paid for it like a regular one. So, following his distorted logic, I'd say we were already even. – Furthermore, water is not denied to anyone, not even by law: business owners are obligated to provide it if a customer asks for it. Once I realized I was facing a person with obvious emotional management issues, I simply walked out. Despite everything, he continued to insult me ​​and tell me to go to hell as I walked away. I repeat: all this for "scrounging" a lot of hot water. And no, I didn't exaggerate one iota. I usually avoid giving negative reviews because mistakes happen to everyone. But this isn't about mistakes: it's about people who shouldn't be in contact with the public, because they've already failed as human beings, even before failing as businesses.

12/12/2025: I usually try to highlight at least some positive aspects, but unfortunately I didn't find any this time. The quality of the croissant was truly poor: as you can see in the photo, the cream had completely curdled and was practically inedible. I really hope they can improve in the future.

30/11/2025: I asked for a pistachio brioche and the waitress told me she would fill it... But she only put the pistachio on top (very little) and the waitress brought us the wrong order.

09/08/2025: I have breakfast every morning and often lunch. The young staff is always welcoming and friendly. The owners are present and on-the-job. Wide selection and excellent value.
