I migliori ristoranti in Varese

31/03/2026: The atmosphere is unpretentious, but charming precisely because of this, very quiet and intimate. The food is good, though a bit lacking in quantity. The service leaves something to be desired, slow and decidedly understaffed.

29/03/2026: Osteria Da JERRY, an osteria with an interior design that reflects the restaurant's name. Mr. JERRY, the owner, is a delightful, friendly, honest man, available to all his customers' needs. He is also a chef, unbeatable in the kitchen, with his signature dish, Risotto al Castelmagno. The environment is clean, sanitized, and tidy. Reservations are recommended for weekend mornings and evenings. During the week, they offer business lunch menus, fixed-price menus, and dinners. Convenient parking is available adjacent to the restaurant, and there is an external ATM next to the restaurant.

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

07/04/2026: Silvia's courtesy and skill in the kitchen, Andrea's promptness and kindness in the dining room, and the quiet, understated, West Coast-esque atmosphere pleasantly surprised us, so much so that we've made this bistro our go-to in Varese. With different menus for breakfast, brunch, or a business lunch, it's sure to satisfy the gastronomic curiosity of the many regulars and occasional diners at this charming establishment next to the courthouse.

03/04/2026: Brunch at Less was nothing short of a wonderful experience: not only were the location and the food extraordinary, but the welcome was something rarely found in Varese. We can't wait to return!

04/05/2026: We happened to be in Gavirate and, while strolling along the lake, we found this place. It's cute, clean, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. We ordered two pizzas, which were well-cooked, with fresh ingredients and delicious. The location is stunning, overlooking the lake and offering a stunning view. Next time we're in Gavirate, we'll stop for an aperitivo, as recommended by Fabio, one of the wait staff.

04/05/2026: Celebrated my birthday... everything was great 👍

02/05/2026: Recommended... Excellent as a restaurant and pizzeria... also as a bar...

28/04/2026: Just a short distance across the border, you're already in the heart of Italy. We were here on a Tuesday at lunchtime and were very satisfied. Food, drinks, service, ambiance, prices – everything was wonderful. We also easily snagged one of the (rather few) parking spaces. The food was not only beautifully presented, but it also tasted excellent. The service was attentive and efficient – ​​perhaps a little reserved, but still perfectly acceptable. Since it wasn't very busy, we got a great table right by the window. On busier days, a reservation is definitely a good idea… The prices are moderate compared to Switzerland. For €100, we ate and drank like royalty. In short: We'll definitely be back!

26/11/2025: Well-maintained place, delicious carbonara pizza, friendly and welcoming staff. I give it a 100 rating. The pizzas are delicious and the kebabs are always top-notch.

03/11/2025: Excellent kebab and excellent service, a little more care in the place wouldn't hurt.

17/03/2026: It's my go-to kebab place! 😋 It's never disappointed me, always delicious, plentiful, and absolutely reasonably priced.

14/03/2026: I enjoyed a kebab and found it very good. There are other options available, from pizza to salads. I will definitely be back.

14/09/2025: Every now and then after school we stop for a snack, in summer with ice cream, there is a nice outdoor space

29/04/2026: Old school bar, which makes gigantic and tasty sandwiches at good prices, if you are in a hurry and hungry this is the place for you.

28/01/2026: Close to the station and perfect for a lunchtime sandwich

24/03/2026: After a long walk at the lake , this is a nice coffee shop to stop with, cozy ambiance, with indoor and outdoor seating,they offer sweets and light meals, you can enter with your dog. With clean toilet. The staff who was there was very friendly.

16/03/2026: A quick stop for a piadina (good) and a truly excellent coffee. Friendly staff and fast service.

29/01/2026: Takeout only. Always delicious pizza with top-quality ingredients, and two different pizzas each month featuring seasonal ingredients.

22/11/2025: The pizza was good in terms of ingredients but the cooking wasn't like the first time I had it, nice and crunchy including the crust, with a nice golden color, unfortunately it was soft and quite white, what a shame

12/04/2026: Easter Monday lunch, everything was really excellent.

10/04/2026: New management starting April 1, 2026...amazing new menu...Piedmontese chef. Must try. I ate à la carte, but they also offer daily lunch menus.

14/05/2026: I've had the pleasure of frequenting Pizzeria Ocoptus for over ten years, and I'm always happy to return. Nadia and Giacomo are the perfect hosts. The food is excellent, the desserts exquisite.

02/05/2026: Describing this pizzeria requires a moment's attention. It's a family-run establishment, run by husband and wife, Nadia and Giacomo. They put care and passion into every detail. The atmosphere is immediately striking. It feels like being underwater. An octopus watches you from above, giving the place character. Then comes the pizza. And that's what matters. Light, tasty, just the right amount of crunch. Easy to digest. Just how we like it. An example. The potatoes and radicchio. No photos. It went too quickly. 😄
