I migliori ristoranti in Varese

02/01/2026: A strange experience. The place doesn't show off its character; upon arrival, the curtains were drawn, and we wondered if we were in the right place. There were only a few tables, and those at the head of the table were uncomfortable, given the large gaps in the shorter side of the designer table. They were the only customers that evening. The food was good, but if you know how to cook, you won't find anything exceptional. The wine list was "extensive," with very high prices. Coffee was served with "spoon" sugar. They made a mistake, putting salt instead of sugar (and that's understandable), but no apology, rather, it was almost as if we, the customers, were the ones bothering them with this complaint. The coffees were charged, and only one amaro was offered (a small quantity). The reservation, made through The Fork, was immediately cancelled upon our departure. I'm starting to suspect that the high number of positive reviews was manipulated in this way... (i.e., by cancelling the reservations of those who might have had something to say about them...)

05/05/2026: The environment is standard, like that of a motorway service station, but clean. The shop assistants are really friendly and kind.

27/04/2026: The parking lot is very nice, quiet, and not crowded in the evening. I parked a 45-meter car park. There were always free spaces. It's illuminated at night. It's quiet from the road. To the left of the parking lot, near the playground, there's a small dog run with a water pump. The grounds are always kept clean. Autogrille has a small fast food shop with a very good selection of goods, products, and services. The restrooms are clean and tidy, quite spacious. There are two showers with hot water. Everything is free. One has a toilet and a sink with a mirror. The other has only a mirror. Everything is clean and tidy. We exchanged documents for keys at the checkout. The staff is very positive. They smile, are polite, and are friendly. There is an underground passage across the street to the opposite side. There are shops nearby.

12/04/2026: It's the perfect place for a leisurely breakfast with delicious, varied products. The staff is friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

23/02/2026: I had a croissant and cappuccino for breakfast, but I've never had such a disgusting croissant in my life—dry and hard. Even though I asked for a replacement, the one I got was just as bad.

04/10/2025: We stopped to get pizzas on our way home. I had never stopped at that takeaway pizzeria. What can I say? Even though there were a lot of people waiting, we waited very little. The pizzas were very good. I think we will become regular customers. Everything is ok.

11/09/2025: Excellent pizza, and a truly homely atmosphere, very good

10/11/2025: I was hoping for something better, they invited me and I don't know the cost, I asked for the corrected coffee, it never arrived for water and wine, long wait, shame because the atmosphere is nice

28/10/2025: Excellent pizzeria with a lakeside beach in the summer. I've eaten here about four times, both for lunch and dinner. The pizza is excellent, perhaps one of the best in the area. The burger selection is also excellent. The place is very nice, and the staff is very attentive and friendly. I could perhaps improve the salads; they're a bit sparse and nothing exceptional. The beer selection is also excellent. I highly recommend this place, especially considering the prices (excellent for the area) and the convenient parking.

07/04/2026: The location was pleasant, but unfortunately the wait was exorbitant and, above all, the final bill was overpriced. The quality was absolutely average. We ordered two portions of lamb, and the bill included the cost of two and a half portions. When we asked for an explanation, we were told that since the portions were "generous—almost double," a surcharge had been added, but they would have forgiven us if they had wanted (!). Frankly, it was all very illogical and embarrassing.

05/04/2026: The food was delicious and the service very attentive despite the busy weather. The location is excellent!

31/03/2026: I've been to this ice cream shop and had delicious ice cream. The atmosphere is peaceful and full of positive energy. I highly recommend it!

27/03/2026: Unfriendly staff, supposedly "natural" ice cream but mediocre in both taste and consistency (Simac Gelato in the 1980s made it better), not the cleanest place, especially the outdoor space in front.

10/04/2026: The best experience of my life.the local is amazing and very clean the only downside is that there are no placemats

07/04/2026: Good sushi, good fish, and good service. I'll probably be back.

03/03/2026: Excellent experience, worth repeating. The place is really nice and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area for a good beer. Thanks, see you next time! 🙂

16/02/2026: The beers and atmosphere are excellent. My only small complaint is that it took a quarter of an hour to bring us the menu once we were seated. Other than that, I'll be back. The lager from the Orso Verde brewery is excellent.

15/11/2025: Simple pastry shop BAR, good desserts, excellent cakes

16/08/2025: Don Vincenzo is a kind and delightful person. I come back every Monday, my day off from work, thanks to him, who makes excellent coffee.

11/12/2025: A warm and friendly atmosphere, perfect for breakfast. A never-before-seen selection of desserts, liqueurs, pastries, both dry and soft. I won't post photos, so I can leave you with a little curiosity and the desire to have breakfast. The staff are incredibly kind, always available for a chat. Having stumbled upon this enchanting place by chance, every time I pass by, I can't help but stop in and enjoy an excellent breakfast.

18/10/2025: Well-prepared aperitif consumed

11/02/2026: I had a wonderful first course: tagliatelle with hand-cut ragù. And the second course: polenta with braised beef. How delicious!

09/02/2026: A small village restaurant, like those of the past, with rustic furnishings. Prices, however, are not those of a small village restaurant, but rather those of a gourmet restaurant, without detracting from the deliciousness of the decent dishes. A Falanghina white wine of dubious quality, which I paid dearly for, was sold a few days later at a well-known local supermarket chain at a bargain price.

10/11/2025: Almost in the city center. It's a shame about the unsavory crowd, especially in the evenings, perhaps attracted by the on-site bar. Personally, I don't think the decision to allow people with scooters or e-bikes into the store is correct; it's a matter of responsibility and safety, towards those entering on foot, like the rest of the universe. But perhaps these are unfamiliar areas.

07/11/2025: Great for underground parking when it rains, bar, toilets, great variety of products and friendly service.

30/04/2026: It's indecent to pay 10 euros for a spritz, it wasn't even good and it wasn't even served with a substantial aperitif... the courtyard overlooks Viale Borri, which isn't the best.

27/04/2026: Very nice place, very good food. Unfortunately, I have to say that kindness is lacking. I'm not saying you should serve like a king or queen, but at least a little friendliness and less hassle would be appreciated these days. I was served by a lady who probably only works behind the counter.

02/02/2026: Excellent lunch break with many vegan options. The stuffed potato is very good and unique.

10/10/2025: The service is great! They definitely do go the extra mile for their customers. Food is lovely. We order from here regularly and it never misses. Thank you to the lovely staff
