I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Lombardia

19/07/2025: ABSOLUTELY AVOID! This is the kind of disaster that happens when you don't read reviews beforehand... Even one star is too much! The food was like something you'd get in a bad cafeteria: the grilled vegetables consisted of three reheated zucchini slices with a little bread. The homemade lasagna was also microwaved, as it was still partially frozen inside. And let's not even talk about the taste. Never again!

19/07/2025: Less than 1 star isn't an option! The visit was at the beginning of April 2025. This experience reminds me that reviews do carry some weight. Firstly, the wait for the food was exorbitant, even though we were the only guests at the time. It wasn't peak season yet. I ordered homemade lasagna – it was lukewarm and had several bones in it!!! After complaining, and without any explanation, the second homemade lasagna arrived ages later. This one was boneless, but still completely frozen inside!!! And I had to wait about 20 minutes for that. My partner had ordered grilled vegetables and received them in the meantime. Mind you – the meal consisted of three lukewarm strips of zucchini and some bread. When we pointed this out, they suddenly didn't understand us anymore. So I switched to Italian, and then the waiter suddenly seemed embarrassed. By the way, the boss/manager, or whatever that person was who ultimately got the money, was behaving so inappropriately. He stood by the building the whole time with shady characters, smoking incessantly and making fun of the "German guests." Too bad I understand German. At least I didn't have to pay for the lasagna. Which I would have refused to do anyway. In the end, we left the place hungry and with a life lesson learned. PLEASE - EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. PLEASE!

09/11/2025: I ordered a plate of clams, almost all the shells were broken and empty, my friend's pizza was undercooked and lightly topped, and the baguette seemed frozen. The waiter is a novice, and it shows. I went to the bathroom to relieve myself, and the door wouldn't even lock. Unfortunately, it's a nice place, but the service and the surroundings aren't the best.

08/11/2025: The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are the most affordable near the cathedral. I eat here every time.

16/05/2025: Everything perfect, very kind staff…I highly recommend!!

07/05/2025: The restaurant is closed; when we booked a table, there was no indication of this. We were seated at the bar upon arrival and told that the restaurant had been closed for some time. There was no apology and no proper service, at least not at the bar. This is unacceptable.

21/02/2025: I see it's still closed. I really liked it for its slightly old-fashioned style. The food was good, reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was family-friendly. I hope they reopen soon and haven't ruined it with a drastic renovation.

05/04/2025: Come sempre quando voglio staccare un po' e coccolarmi a Varese vengo da Roberto....insomma si alla PERLA. Beh sempre tutto al massimo livello...i classici antipastini davvero sfiziosi e poi gianchetti in frittata delicatissimi....e a seguire un primo con aragosta...il tutto annaffiato da Ferrari Perle'...e a chiudere uno spettacolare dolce ...crema al mascarpone e caffè....bravi e davvero grazie sono stato benissimo 😉

23/02/2025: Ottima cena a base di pesce con un servizio attento non invasivo, ottimi vini alla carta. Piatti ben eseguiti e assolutamente squisiti. E il prezzo assolutamente onesto

23/07/2025: Another sad case of getting fooled for not reading the reviews first. A smooth talking waiter lured us to sit at one of the caffe tables. My wife said she wanted an ice cream. He directed her to a window where the ice creams - and the prices - were displayed. She ordered a pistachio ice cream listed at 8 Euro. ( a bit expensive, we thought , but we wanted to treat her) When the bill came, we were charged … 17 Euros. We asked the waiter and he said that 8 euros was the price if we had ordered at the window. As we ordered from him there was another price in another book ( that he told us we should have asked for ???) We travelled to Bolzano and to Merano and never had any such cheap trick pulled on us in any restaurant. For a few extra Euros, do the Dante cafe realize they give a bad name to an entire industry in a certain country ? And the worst of it, they carry the name of the greatest Italian poet. They should change their name to cafe Zanni in order to match their practices.

23/07/2025: Like many reviews on here, we got took by the offers at the table. It is a tourist trap and like others on here took the L offered. But our coke was like 4 cokes normally at $3.50€ each so the $17€ is ok if you can drink 4 cokes…lol. Food was very good (2/3 as mine was ok) but also bit on the add ons offered, another $32€ which isn’t really worth it. And the location was great on the patio looking at a 600 year old castle. If you stay at a regular drink and don’t add garlic toast and cheese the price is the same. Be aware of the upgrades they offer and lunch will be a normal price and of good quality.

11/08/2025: Il locale si trova in centro. Bella la parte esterna fronte retro, stupende le parti interne accoglienti, pulite e le tavole apparecchiate con gusto. Credo di aver mangiato il miglio piatto di pizzoccheri della mia vita, avrei fatto il bis. Dolci meravigliosi! Le porzioni sono buone e l impiattamento stupendo, complimenti alla cucina. Il personale cortese e molto accogliente. Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Alla prossima tappa a livigno ci torneremo sicuramente.

09/08/2025: Il ristorante è sempre molto bello e accogliente, con un’atmosfera piacevole che mette a proprio agio. Il personale è gentile e disponibile, pronto a venire incontro alle richieste dei clienti. Purtroppo, però, ho notato che la qualità del cibo non è più quella di una volta, e questo ha reso l’esperienza meno soddisfacente rispetto al passato.
