I migliori ristoranti in Varese

03/06/2026: The place is clean and welcoming, the food is very good, with minimal portions and prices that I think are a bit excessive. The pizza is disappointing; it arrived burnt and dry. The prices are overpriced, and for the context of the place, the pizza served burnt and dry is not the best. The pizza chef needs to make sure he's doing what he's doing before serving. The service is slow and doesn't bother clearing your plates when you finish. The guy serves a bottle next to our table and doesn't clear our plates. We'd finished about 15 minutes ago, but no one came by to clear our plates. A woman serves pizzas at the table but doesn't deign to turn around and clear your plates. Zero attention and lack of professionalism towards the customer. We definitely won't be returning. Two appetizers, two pizzas, a bottle of water, two glasses of white wine, and two desserts, €98 for two. In other places, I spend that much on starters, main courses, water, a bottle of wine, and dessert, and above all, the service is fast. I saw other reviews where prices were written 20/30 euros, but in this place you don't spend that much money, you spend much more.

23/05/2026: Good food, well-kept and clean place, fast service and trained staff.

25/11/2025: We found this place by chance. What can I say? The food is excellent and the staff impeccable. For me, it was worth it.

18/11/2025: A pleasant discovery for dinner before a concert at the auditorium. Special thanks to the very kind staff, especially Eva.

19/04/2026: The fish is delicious. I highly recommend it.

17/04/2026: We went to this restaurant for dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day. This restaurant specializes in seafood, and I must say the quality is excellent, well worth the price. For the menu, we ordered a "azzurro di mare" appetizer to share, then for the main courses, we opted for "pasta with sardines" and "busiato with scampi and pistachio pesto." To finish, we ordered a house dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant; you'll enjoy good food and the staff is excellent.

26/04/2026: Passing by for a race, we discovered an amazing place. A well-kept and welcoming place with extremely helpful and friendly staff. As for the food, we were four of us, so we had a bit of a choice, and it was all delicious. The quantity and flavor were amazing. The price was fair, considering you're paying for the quality that's there. It's definitely become our go-to place in the area.

12/06/2026: Before heading back to Orlando. We stopped here for an Kebab and it did not disappoint. Good people and food.

30/05/2026: Both the cannoli and the arancini are excellent. Highly recommended!!

11/03/2026: One star because we chose the daily menu and ordered two main courses. The leaflet specified that drinks were not included, but it didn't specify the cover charge, which consisted of two paper placemats for a total of €2.50 per person. A new experience that will lead me from now on to always ask what was included and what wasn't.

07/03/2026: The food was very good. The waiter, an older man with an earring and sunglasses, was very unpleasant. If he's working in a restaurant as a punishment, he should change jobs. Because of the service, I won't be going back, which is a shame because the food is delicious.

09/04/2026: We were passing through this area on our holiday and we are so happy that we found this restaurant. Food was excellent and so was the service and ambiance too. We ordered a starter and I don’t eat meat, so they offered a vegetarian option, and it was delicious. The main course was also excellent and the dessert was cherry on top,fresh yoghurt with berries, so good and fresh. Our waiter Omar was great and really friendly. He kindly gave us many tips on what to do and see in the area. We recommend this family owned restaurant wholeheartedly. Great dining experience.

30/03/2026: I went to Osteria della Purtascia with my friends on Sunday for lunch. If you're looking for a place where you can feel at home, but with high-quality cuisine, this is the place. The restaurant is beautiful and very well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. It's the perfect setting for a lunch/dinner with friends, where you can chat and enjoy yourself. The hospitality was the added bonus. All the staff is extremely kind, but a special mention goes to the waitress, Luana, who was truly exquisite. We really appreciated the way the owner explains the products on the menu: he does it with such a fascinating passion that it makes you want to try everything! ​The food is truly delicious. Here are some dishes we tried: Appetizer: The egg with truffle was simply delicious, balanced, and fragrant. ​First course: We chose a special of the day, paccheri with sausage, porcini mushrooms, saffron, and a sprinkling of red berries. A refined, original, and decidedly tasty dish. ​Wine: The house wine also proved to be an excellent choice, perfect for accompanying dinner. ​In summary: An excellent experience in every way. We'll definitely be back!

08/06/2026: Very impressed by the place. Very popular and I can see why. Highly recommend.

07/06/2026: They also have a robot waiter that brings pizza to the tables

18/05/2026: Sublime dishes! We tried both the risotto and the gnocchi, both delicious! Our favorites were the gnocchi with pears, Taleggio cheese, and speck. Highly recommended. Fast service, friendly waiters, and a lovely atmosphere. I recommend this to anyone who loves risotto. This is definitely a great place to eat it. Generous and satisfying portions. You can also order a trio or two of risotto or gnocchi. We didn't order it, but the platter, which we noticed at other tables, looked equally tempting. Affordable prices, definitely excellent value for money!

17/05/2026: Our visit to the Gnoccheria was a real highlight. The food was absolutely first-class – prepared with great care and incredibly delicious. The gnocchi, in particular, were a delight and showcased authentic Italian cuisine at its finest. The service also deserves high praise: very friendly and attentive staff and a warm atmosphere from the very first moment. The beautiful ambiance in the vaulted cellar made the evening even more special and ensured an authentic and cozy experience. We were also surprised by how fair the prices were: for five people, we paid only about €170 in total, including wine and some appetizers.

06/05/2026: I'm on vacation and honestly, the quality, service, and atmosphere were top-notch—a 10 out of 10 for comfort. The pasta was delicious 🤤

12/04/2026: One of the most authentic osterias in the area — you immediately feel that the cuisine is built on identity and respect for tradition. As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and full of character: wood details, vintage objects, and an intimate setting that makes you feel comfortable right away. The food is the real highlight: classic Lombard dishes executed properly, without unnecessary twists. The risotto (especially with ossobuco) is among the best in the area, and the meat dishes are equally well-prepared and flavorful. You can tell there’s real attention to ingredients and a clear, consistent menu focused on local cuisine. The wine selection is also well curated — not overly extensive, but perfectly aligned with the style of the kitchen. Service is friendly and genuine: they make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. At times, service can be slightly slow, but nothing that takes away from the overall experience. Prices are fair for the quality (roughly €30–50 per person), and fully justified by what you get. In short: a solid, authentic place with no unnecessary frills — just great food done right. Perfect if you’re looking for true Lombard cuisine.

25/04/2026: There are places that don't just serve dinner, but offer an experience that remains etched in your memory. Ristorante L'Armonica di Diego is exactly that: a place where history, art, and cuisine blend in perfect harmony, captivating from the first moment. Entering here is like taking a journey through time. The building that now houses the restaurant was once a monastery, and the atmosphere still retains all the spirituality, charm, and elegant silence of those centuries past. The ancient walls tell distant stories, while each room seems to preserve the memory of those who lived here before they became a temple of gastronomy. It's rare to find a restaurant with such an authentic soul. The frescoes are simply marvelous: refined details, colors that seem to defy time, and decorations that transform each room into a small museum. Dining beneath these ceilings is an almost surreal experience, as you feel immersed in the beauty of art and history, without ever losing the warmth of the welcome. Every corner of the restaurant exudes elegance and care, yet without being cold or artificial. On the contrary, everything is incredibly harmonious, just as the restaurant's name suggests. And then there's the cuisine, which is simply extraordinary. Each dish speaks of passion, research, and respect for the raw materials. The quality of the ingredients is immediately apparent, but what truly strikes is the balance of flavors: nothing is excessive, everything is crafted with sensitivity and intelligence. Italian tradition is enhanced with modern and refined taste, without ever losing authenticity. It's a cuisine that excites, surprises, and captivates. The service also deserves special mention: professional, attentive, and never intrusive. You feel welcomed with sincerity, almost like privileged guests in a special place. It's clear that behind every detail lies passion, dedication, and love for what they do. Francesca deserves a special mention, for serving us with such professionalism and kindness. What truly makes this restaurant unique, however, is the overall feeling it leaves. It's not just a dinner, but a complete experience filled with beauty, history, atmosphere, and exquisite cuisine. Eating in a former monastery adorned with historic frescoes offers something rare: the feeling of living a moment outside of time. An enchanting, romantic, and deeply evocative place, where art and gastronomy meet in the most elegant way possible. Finally, what can I say? Diego, the host: immense! He is the true wine list. And whatever explanation you need, he is ready to provide it! 10/10 💘

12/04/2026: Excellent food, excellent service, and a top-notch atmosphere. Recommended, and definitely worth returning to.
