06/05/2026: Excellent restaurant. Delicious food. Very friendly atmosphere. The chef is a wonderful specialist and professional. All the best.

05/05/2026: Everything was excellent, food, service, cleanliness

21/04/2026: Opposite Visconti Castle, in a very quiet town, while transiting through Malpensa Airport waiting for my flight, I found this beautiful restaurant with incredibly friendly and helpful staff and a Michelin-starred menu. The interior decor is fantastic, with 17th-century stone walls and wooden beams on the roof; it was once the castle's barn. The menu was fantastic, and the chef was very talented. I tried a true Milanese saffron risotto that wasn't even on the menu. The best ever. Great selection, and I'll be back.

06/03/2026: I had a wonderful experience at Castigo. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, with a very authentic Italian vibe that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. The food was excellent 🫶🏼🫶🏼 fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and full of flavor. You can really tell there is care and passion behind each dish. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and have a memorable evening. Definitely a restaurant I would happily return to when in the area. Highly recommended!

05/05/2026: Thank you so much for the wonderful lunch. The food – from the amuse-bouche to the espresso – was simply superb. And the service was incredibly friendly. A 5-star recommendation. It's so nice that restaurants like this still exist. We'll definitely be back.

29/04/2026: Welcoming and intimate location. From the reviews, we expected a high-quality offering, both in terms of cuisine and service, but unfortunately, these expectations were not fully met. The prices are quite high for the quality of the ingredients, which we found to be average. The service also negatively impacted the experience, with excessively long wait times that detracted from the pace of the dinner and also from our appetite. On a positive note: the cover charge was waived, which was appreciated. Overall, we won't be returning.

26/04/2026: A charming, charming, and welcoming place. The staff is very friendly without being intrusive. A wide variety of food and drinks, for all budgets. The food is high-quality, well-cooked, and plentiful. It's nice that there's no cover charge. The Chianina rib-eye steak with side dishes and the large mixed grill are excellent. Fair prices. We'll be back to try other dishes. Worth a try.

08/04/2026: Great atmosphere, very friendly waiter. Menu available in several languages. Variety of dishes, very reasonable prices.

05/05/2026: Spectacular seafood restaurant, but you can also find meat. Highly recommended. It's a shame about the town it's in; it's not the best in terms of scenery or for an after-dinner stroll. But the restaurant is top-notch, and I give it 5 stars for everything. Highly recommended. Good!

01/05/2026: Really satisfied with both the service and the food, the owner is truly exquisite, but I have a doubt, why not one star yet?

03/06/2026: The place is clean and welcoming, the food is very good, with minimal portions and prices that I think are a bit excessive. The pizza is disappointing; it arrived burnt and dry. The prices are overpriced, and for the context of the place, the pizza served burnt and dry is not the best. The pizza chef needs to make sure he's doing what he's doing before serving. The service is slow and doesn't bother clearing your plates when you finish. The guy serves a bottle next to our table and doesn't clear our plates. We'd finished about 15 minutes ago, but no one came by to clear our plates. A woman serves pizzas at the table but doesn't deign to turn around and clear your plates. Zero attention and lack of professionalism towards the customer. We definitely won't be returning. Two appetizers, two pizzas, a bottle of water, two glasses of white wine, and two desserts, €98 for two. In other places, I spend that much on starters, main courses, water, a bottle of wine, and dessert, and above all, the service is fast. I saw other reviews where prices were written 20/30 euros, but in this place you don't spend that much money, you spend much more.

23/05/2026: Good food, well-kept and clean place, fast service and trained staff.

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!

08/06/2026: Very impressed by the place. Very popular and I can see why. Highly recommend.

07/06/2026: They also have a robot waiter that brings pizza to the tables

18/05/2026: Sublime dishes! We tried both the risotto and the gnocchi, both delicious! Our favorites were the gnocchi with pears, Taleggio cheese, and speck. Highly recommended. Fast service, friendly waiters, and a lovely atmosphere. I recommend this to anyone who loves risotto. This is definitely a great place to eat it. Generous and satisfying portions. You can also order a trio or two of risotto or gnocchi. We didn't order it, but the platter, which we noticed at other tables, looked equally tempting. Affordable prices, definitely excellent value for money!

17/05/2026: Our visit to the Gnoccheria was a real highlight. The food was absolutely first-class – prepared with great care and incredibly delicious. The gnocchi, in particular, were a delight and showcased authentic Italian cuisine at its finest. The service also deserves high praise: very friendly and attentive staff and a warm atmosphere from the very first moment. The beautiful ambiance in the vaulted cellar made the evening even more special and ensured an authentic and cozy experience. We were also surprised by how fair the prices were: for five people, we paid only about €170 in total, including wine and some appetizers.

18/04/2026: Omen nomen A pleasant, well-kept place with precise and attentive service The dishes are well-made and beautifully presented The train is always the train...

08/04/2026: Friendly staff, fairly small but cozy atmosphere. I mostly ate meat, and everything was really excellent. Fair prices for the experience. I'll definitely be back.

20/05/2026: I live nearby...the food is excellent...everything is good, including the pizza...the only one that doesn't make me drink continuously after eating it. The service is fast and the guys/girls are hospitable, competent, and very kind, just like the owners. I absolutely recommend it, and don't forget to book!

17/05/2026: We loved both the hotel and the restaurant; we'll be back. And let's not forget that even heavenly prawns sometimes end up in the pot after a visit to marinade heaven 😉

23/04/2026: The food is good, both fish and desserts. Fast service, good value, and friendly staff. However, the place is too noisy and the tables are close together, making it really hard to talk.

06/04/2026: Excellent pizza. Very friendly and helpful waiters. Highly recommended.

19/04/2026: Excellent pizza, family place, service and homemade desserts, well done Loredana

18/04/2026: What a beautiful, authentic pizza place! Very high quality and a really nice atmosphere! Grab your own drinks and enjoy this lovely spot! Highly recommended.

06/06/2026: Large, classic room with a generous breakfast. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent. There was a secure parking area for motorcycles.

31/03/2026: I had a great time, I chose the house appetizer and the excellent, high-quality cut of meat.

04/06/2026: Very friendly people and very good food; we tried the pasta and a pizza. 100% recommended!

01/06/2026: Really good food and impeccable service! The staff is excellent, super friendly and very approachable, they make you feel right at home… If you want to try realistic fruit that will leave you speechless, you absolutely have to try it!! 😋 5 well-deserved stars!!!
