I migliori ristoranti in Varese

20/08/2026: A nice bar, directly overlooking the Ranco pier, with a beautiful view of Lake Maggiore. Breakfasts are good but not exceptional. Better for an evening aperitif. Service is informal, run by young men and women. Prices are average.

18/08/2026: One star because you can't get any less!!!! We stopped for lunch and ordered two sandwiches... they arrived dry, hard, practically inedible, and one of three ingredients was missing (the pink sauce). I got up to bring the sandwich back to the waitress, pointing out that the sauce was missing and that it was really dry! They brought it back to me with just a little sauce added!!!!! You can't work like that!!! We definitely won't be stopping by again.

01/08/2026: Beautiful environment and good and competent girls...highly recommended

08/03/2026: Aperitifs with a good accompaniment of cured meats and bread 🍞.

01/08/2026: The place is nice, it's cheap, the waiters are kind and fast, I recommend it

28/06/2026: We've always had truly delicious food! The fish is incredibly fresh, the dishes are tasty and carefully prepared. The staff is friendly and always smiling, and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. A place we'll gladly return to. Highly recommended!

30/11/2025: Passing by one morning, I stopped at what looked like a regular bakery from the outside to get a brioche, an apple puff pastry, and a small slice of pastiera. I was served friendly service, but I paid a total of €10, and that's all... it seemed expensive to me, but maybe they've simply adjusted their prices to downtown Varese.

21/10/2025: I found myself very well, very kind

14/10/2025: Returning from a bike ride, we couldn't believe our way to this small but well-stocked cycling-themed café: from the e-bike charging stations to the trophies on display, to the generous supply of energy bars and gels for athletes, it's got it all. And by the way: coffee for cyclists is €0.90! Recommended stop.

21/04/2026: Excellent fish and seafood dishes, expertly prepared. A wine list that leaves nothing to be desired. We will gladly return.

21/04/2026: I had a business trip and dinner there, and I must say I was surprised by the excellent, fantastic dishes, both meat and fresh fish. Compliments to the chef.

20/08/2026: Always a guarantee: excellent food, friendly staff, and a special atmosphere. We always love coming back! A special mention for Michele, who has made us feel at ease with his courtesy and friendliness for years! We'll see you again soon!

20/08/2026: Lunch: first course, dessert, glass of wine, coffee. I'd say everything was fine.

14/03/2026: It's heartening to find places like this, a dive into the past, steeped in tradition and excellent local food. Simple, authentic ingredients; the polenta in all its versions and the pappardelle with wild boar are highly recommended. The service is a warm embrace, making you feel right at home.

11/03/2026: Excellent food, top-quality and plentiful. Service was good, no complaints. The place is a bit dated.

10/08/2026: Unique atmosphere. Very good pizza. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

22/06/2026: Pizzeria Octopus is our favorite haunt. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the pizza is truly unique: the crust is crispy, with a special dough that's rarely found these days. Highly recommended! Here are some photos that do these wonders justice.

15/04/2026: Excellent piadina! Friendly and helpful staff.

12/04/2026: The authentic Romagna piada in Saronno.

10/05/2026: After booking at 12:30 sharp, 1:20 pm, the pizza order had already finished, the pasta order at 1:20 pm still nothing. When we asked why there was a delay, we were told that if we were in a hurry we could go... So we did. Hospitality was zero, courtesy zero, the food I don't know.

20/04/2026: A delicious three-course meal including 0.7 liters of mineral water for only €16.00! What more could you want? It tasted great and was a bargain. And despite my limited Italian, the menu was explained to me in detail after I was initially a bit overwhelmed.

19/08/2026: The best pastry shop in the area! My husband and I live in Florence, and when we return to the Varese area, it's our go-to place for breakfast (especially on weekends). Truly delicious desserts and exquisite savory treats! Always fresh products! The girls are incredibly kind and helpful! Truly impeccable table service.

15/03/2026: Quality artisan products and excellent service

03/07/2026: The pizza is very good, the place is small but welcoming and the prices are good.

20/02/2026: We ordered a pizza at the store, as shown in the picture. It's called Rucola, and it was delicious! The pizza maker was a handsome guy! We also watched the sunset at the store, perfect! 😍

18/08/2026: We've been customers for about 20 years... we came back again a few days ago and... €4 for a 0.50 bottle of water... €7 for a portion of fries plus €0.50 for sauces (as if the margin on fries wasn't enough...) €5 for a can of iced tea... Not to mention the sandwich, whose price doesn't matter, but: a pre-cut ciabatta sandwich, mostly of very low quality, with two slices of ham that weren't excellent... tuna sauce seen through binoculars... the artichokes were good... that's the only positive thing... Guys, now with all the love I have for you after 20 years of frequenting us, the price adjustment seems a bit excessive. I understand the timing, but at least the quality is right... Not even on the terrace at Rinascente are these prices... I'm really sorry, but we won't be back... 😢

04/08/2026: I found the music a bit too loud, making it difficult to converse with my friend. For the quality of the food and the price, I found it decidedly expensive. The asparagus in the bresaola dish was neither fresh nor frozen, but rather canned and didn't taste great. The friendliness of the staff makes it worth another try.

30/06/2026: Excellent pizza, very friendly staff and very nice place

17/06/2026: Best pizza in town! And great service
