I migliori ristoranti in Varese

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.

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!

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.

15/03/2026: This year too, we went to Armonica for my partner's birthday, and we felt at home, in a refined and peaceful atmosphere, with fantastic staff and excellent food. It's become a tradition.

22/02/2026: Everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail. Spectacular location, with plenty of dining rooms so there's never too many people in the same space. Spectacular food and top-notch service. If you're in the area, stop by; if you don't know where else to go, go here.

29/04/2026: Anyone looking for something beyond pizza, pasta, or bread with ham and/or cheese will find pretzels, bratwurst, and currywurst here. Unfortunately, W11 isn't located in South Tyrol—and you can definitely taste it. If you're craving sauerkraut, you can go there; the food this restaurant chain serves isn't bad. However, despite the attentive service, I can't really recommend it.

17/04/2026: The restaurant's layout perfectly captures the overall impression. Honestly, we came in after a book presentation in the Veratti room because we were late and had no other options. We had Swiss steaks (a burger can't be mentioned), which we asked for almost raw and arrived almost overcooked; a grilled sausage platter; a tagliata that wasn't there was transformed into a fillet that wasn't there (good, but sirloin and always overcooked). For peace of mind, since I was with guests, I skipped it, but the very kind girl serving me understood. The wine list was very limited and overpriced. The only positive thing was the waitress, friendly and professional. One question: how can you put up a sign like that with an interior with extraordinary ceilings?

29/04/2026: A sensory and pampering experience

20/04/2026: Great welcome, excellent pizza, truly packed with top-notch ingredients. Well-leavened and not too salty. Beautiful location and good music. Perfect place to eat in peace.

03/05/2026: Truly excellent food Qualified staff Recommended for a lovely evening

01/05/2026: As a true Neapolitan, I visited many pizzerias before finding this... a special place... small but welcoming, where tradition meets innovation and a quest for flavor. You can eat from the simple and tasty Margherita... to the fantastic Margherita Fresh, which this time I ordered with their double-baking method, which in my opinion is spectacular because, besides making it more flavorful because it's first fried and then baked, it gives it an unmatched lightness... I would have eaten the second one too... Instead, I had it made for lunch today, and what a lunch it was! And the selection is vast... all with top-quality ingredients prepared with respect and skill by the two pizza chefs, father and son, an exceptional team, not least the friendly and professional waiting staff. In short, what else to say except that finally, congratulations to someone who loves doing their job and it shows. Congratulations to all of you! 👏👏👏

20/02/2026: Excellent business lunch, fast and friendly

18/02/2026: A slice of Japan in Gallarate. Delicious food and a warm welcome. Highly recommended!

29/04/2026: A waiter who spoke good English explained everything very clearly, and we were able to take our time trying everything. It didn't matter what we liked or disliked (our children are sometimes picky eaters), or whether you had a primi first or not (because we love pasta, but that isn't a main course in Italy), and they were always very accommodating. Highly recommended!

24/04/2026: Very good restaurant and excellent service Quality and seasonal ingredients The asparagus theme is simply sublime A wonderful discovery

10/05/2026: Very good, and very kind owner!

23/04/2026: A farewell lunch with friends before leaving for America. The owner was super kind and helpful. For our menu choices, we opted for a Pepper platter for two (we ate for four), tagliolini with sausage and mushrooms, and to finish, a delicious Black Angus entrecote. Of course, we didn't miss out on the desserts: tiramisu, berry cheesecake, and chocolate cake were truly excellent. Well, what can I say? I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants good meat and more.

28/04/2026: Everything was impeccable. Exquisite dishes, perfect service. Delightful place

25/04/2026: For dinners to remember: a welcoming place, knowledgeable and friendly staff, traditional and innovative food, everything super well-prepared and delicious!

07/05/2026: Super welcoming and informal place, perfect for an evening with friends! We had a wonderful evening, the staff were very friendly, the atmosphere relaxed, and the food truly delicious! The meat is exceptional!!! Tender, tasty, and excellent quality, with an excellent value! And the desserts are irresistible! We'll definitely be back, highly recommended!

06/05/2026: I've been frequenting this restaurant for several years, especially on Wednesdays and Thursdays, when it offers a special offer on rib-eye steak and fillet steak. For this very reason, I recently decided to return with friends, confident I'd rediscover the quality and integrity I'd appreciated in the past. Unfortunately, the recent experience was deeply disappointing. Four of us returned and ordered rib-eye steak and fillet steak, expecting everyone to get similar cuts, as would be expected for such a specialty. Instead, completely different cuts arrived at the table: on one side, a thick, well-presented rib-eye steak; on the other, much smaller cuts, decidedly inferior in thickness and appearance. Such a striking difference, especially at the same price, is simply unacceptable. The problem wasn't just the meat, but also the way it was handled. When we pointed out the difference, we received an unprofessional and superficial response that left us truly perplexed. Instead of receiving a serious explanation or even a modicum of attention to customers who have been frequenting the restaurant for years, we almost felt reprimanded for simply noticing a glaring disparity. I find it disappointing that, when paying for a special offer, at least some consistency in service and product isn't guaranteed. If some cuts are smaller or less generous, it would be fair to communicate this clearly, especially since the customer has the right to know what they're ordering and what they're paying for. The way things were done, however, almost feels like a mockery. The evening was ruined not only by the subpar quality, but also by the atmosphere at the table: between embarrassment, arguments, and a lack of professionalism, the overall experience was anything but positive. I'm sorry to say, but after years of frequenting, this time we left feeling deeply disappointed. I advise against going to this restaurant on special offer days, at least without paying close attention to the cuts served. Personally, before returning, I will ensure that a more serious standard is maintained, both in the product and in customer relations.

10/05/2026: An Ode to Liquid Excellence in Samarkand! Dear gourmets and seekers of the sublime: It is imperative to record the delightful experience of my recent visit to this temple of good taste. From the moment one stands before its impeccable bar, one is captivated by the curated selection of elixirs. The selection of malts and hops is, quite simply, a choreography for the palate. I had the honor of tasting the Leffe Rouge, whose presence in a chalice glass not only delights the eye with its bronze hue but also offers a bouquet of toasted nuances that caress the soul. It is clear that here, a drink is not simply served; a ritual of hospitality is performed. The aesthetics of the setting deserve special mention: a visual harmony where the elegance of the ornate taps is rivaled only by the pristine linens. The service, delivered with an almost anachronistic refinement, elevates the experience to a level of distinction rarely found in modern times. Suddenly, time seems to stand still, and reason succumbs to sensory pleasure, compelling me to exclaim with the solemnity the moment demands: "Waiter... bring another! My soul demands it, my spirit craves it, and my palate will not accept 'no' for an answer to such a divine delicacy." Verdict: A must-visit destination for those who understand that luxury lies not in ostentation, but in the perfection of details.

09/05/2026: Perfect food in cheap restaurant. Was a bit crowded so reserve ahead to be sure to find table.

18/04/2026: Beautiful restaurant, very welcoming. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Compliments to all the staff.

08/04/2026: The restaurant is right on the beach promenade, but unfortunately, not many restaurants were open. The food was very tasty, small portions but delicious nonetheless. Unfortunately, the service was really poor. It was very hectic, and we didn't feel welcome. It was more of a rushed affair; we arrived, were served quickly, and received our food after 10 minutes. The children's portions were more suited to very young children; had we known this, we would have ordered a normal-sized portion for them. We wouldn't be coming back.

12/05/2026: We already knew the restaurant and chose it to celebrate my son's First Communion. The menu, which we agreed upon with the owner, was varied and suitable for all palates, with excellent quality and generous portions. The birthday boy's cake was also delicious. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. They even handled a special menu issue that hadn't been initially mentioned. Highly recommended.

11/05/2026: Super relaxing lunch at Laghetto Fonteviva 🌿🍽️ Welcoming place, quiet atmosphere, and truly delicious food! A special thanks to all the staff: very kind and attentive from the moment you arrive 😊 And a super positive note for those with four-legged friends 🐾: my Murdock was welcomed very well! You can tell they're truly pet-friendly and ready to welcome our furry friends... with even kibble available for those who want to take advantage of it 😄 A place where you eat well and truly feel at home. We'll definitely be back ❤️
