I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Somma lombardo della Varese

04/03/2026: While it's not the best restaurant in Lombardy, it's still among the best. Revisited local cuisine and carefully crafted dishes. Excellent and welcoming service. We'll definitely be back.

27/02/2026: Spectacular place, fantastic food.

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!

09/04/2026: The restaurants in the small town near the airport were surprisingly delicious.

09/04/2026: Staff like the worst in Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares! Awful staff - waitress like an angry twisted wasp - so rude. You can’t order a drink when you arrive. Go somewhere else please. We have previously eaten at Cerva restaurant ( just round the corner ) which is very good but decided to give Samarcanda a try. Big mistake. Previous reviews had commented about the very bad attitude of the staff and they were so right! We arrived and were shown to our table. Waitress appeared after ten minutes - very sullen and grumpy. Asked if we were ready to order. We said not quite but can we order a bottle of wine and water while we decide. She said no - everything has to be ordered at once. We were a bit confused - are you saying we can’t order drinks while we look at the menu? We had walked round from the Holiday Inn so were a bit parched for water She was very rude - and insisted everything to be ordered at once. “So we can’t order drinks and starters and decide what we want after? Are you serious?” We decided we would leave. She got really nasty and walked away shouting abuse about us. I don’t speak Italian but do speak Spanish and the languages are similar enough to get an idea of the insults she was shouting. She was really being rude. We eat out a lot (maybe 3 or 4 times a week) and we have come to realise that a bad attitude at the start only gets worse. So we now reckon, if something is bad, just cash your chips and walk out! So that’s what we did! A man behind the bar asked us what had happened. We started telling him and the nasty waitress rushed up and started shouting over us. We were trying to explain we had just wanted to order a drink before ordering food - but waitress kept on shouting! The man behind counter was telling her to go away - and so were we. I told him - look at her behaviour - it’s like having a mosquito around you - she was jumping around shouting and shrieking like an angry wasp. Kind of hilarious actually - a bit Fawlty Towers. The guy kept trying to get rid of her, holding his hand up and pointing to her to go away and asking what happened. We thought the guy might sit us somewhere else and find us another waitress but when we finally managed to explain what had happened - and asked can we order drinks with food afterwards, he just shrugged. So we left….. To be honest, they probably did us a favour. We went to Cerva down the road where the server was on her own serving about ten tables but she was super efficient smiley, happy and welcoming. The Cerva food was excellent - like really home cooked, delicious quality and generous portions. Great wine only €10 for a litre carafe. Cerva is all round much much better than Samarcanda. The environment is a little more like a cafe - but the experience was excellent and there are lots of locals and friendly people in there - always a good sign. As I mentioned, we eat out a lot, and recognise that it’s not just the food - it’s the entire experience. I don’t know if the food is good or bad at Samarcanda- but it wouldn’t matter - I wouldn’t eat there again on our next trip through Milan and would definitely not recommend it. There is no point at all going out and paying money to eat with a waitress behaving like an angry wasp - so Samarcanda is up there as one of our worst ding out experiences. Do not - definitely NOT recommend!

08/12/2025: I had gone to visit the markets of Somma, and then I was looking for a restaurant, since the reviews speak well of it, I tried it and found it excellent, the food was excellent, the dish of the day offered was excellent, the dessert excellent, excellent service very kind and friendly and nice.

02/12/2025: Lovely restaurant and superb crew. Had the best mussels in a giant pot ever. The slowly cooked beef cheeks with polenta highly recommended
