"Il locale é caratterizzato molto bene però consiglio di mangiare in terrazza perché a noi é capitato il tavolo davanti alla pizzeria e quindi ci siamo trovati file di persone davanti ad aspettare il loro asporto o ad aspettare che fosse pronto il tavolo, per qualcuno non é un problema ma ad esempio il tavolo accanto a noi ha fatto una sceneggiata per questo piccolo dettaglio, ed essendo i tavoli molto vicini viene un po' a mancare la privacy e la riservatezza Il cibo era molto buono ed i prezzi non sono eccessivi Noi abbiamo preso un tajin da €15 che ha detta del cameriere era per 1 persona ma invece lo abbiamo diviso in 2 ma avremmo anche potuto dividerlo in 3 A meno che non volete mangiare solo quello Oltre al tajin abbiamo preso una piadina kebab le patatine spezziate e 2 bibite Il kebab era buonissimo anche se un po' più piccolo rispetto alla concorrenza. Le bibite erano buone ma troppo costose €3 quando le si trovano anche nei negozi in centro ad €0,70 Nota leggermente negativa va al servizio Diciamo che non é che prestino grandi attenzioni ai clienti Ad esempio mi era arrivato un piatto in più non ordinato, Per ordinare ci hanno fatto attendere abbastanza. Finito di mangiare siamo stati 20 Min ad aspettare il cameriere per ordinare il té alla menta, alla fine sono andato alla cassa per pagare e li il cameriere mi ha chiesto se gradissi del tè alla menta che detto così sembra che te lo stia offrendo Così accetto e gli chiedo se dovessi alzarmi io per il conto e se lo portavano al tavolo, Mi risponde che lo avrebbe portato al tavolo Così mi risiedo arriva il te buono Però poi non arriva il conto così chiedo ad un altro cameriere che mi dice di andare in cassa. Così rivado in cassa mi fa lo scontrino Pago e quando esco mi accorgo che dentro c'erano 5 euro di te E soprattutto che il kebab anziché segnare solo piadina aveva segnato menù quindi circa 2 euro in più Sicuramente ci tornerò ma presterò più attenzione"

"The location of this restaurant is splendid, it has an amazing view over Lago di Varese and is a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a shady lunch in the summertime. I attended a special event held by the restaurant that was a wine and food tasting combined with an art exhibition and jazz piano concert. As it was a tasting event, we did not order from the menu, however I can strongly recommend the bread salad with mussels excellent, the fish 'soup ' with shaved mushrooms and the roast beef perfectly cooked. The 'gnocci fritti ' were light and charming the pasta (large shells with lightly sautéed zucchini and mushrooms) was on the bland side for my taste. My husband has lunched there before and he particularly enjoyed the tartare. The dessert offerings were so so, I much preferred the large plates full of fresh, perfect cherries that were offered after the meat. The wines were presented by Albani Casteggio Vineyards. I tasted two of the three wines available and they were two of the most excellent glasses of wine I 've had here in Italy. The first was a sparkling rheinish riesling that was in fact the best glass of Italian bubbly that I 've had. A middle spectrum dry it did what Italian wines do at their best, it took an excellent grape and let it shine without any extra fussiness. The second was COSTA DEL MORONE 2004 reserve...dense, interesting, provocative, I kept my sips small to enjoy exploring the different flavors. It 's rare that I 've tasted a wine that offered so many surprises and held my interest so thoroughly from first to last. The music was jazz piano by Paolo Paliaga, truly enjoyable though a bit hard to hear well as he was playing on the outdoor patio area. The 6 paintings on display in the first room were eye catching and looked great with the rest of the decor and continued to be worth additional viewing over the course of the evening. The most attractive area in this season was the outdoor patio/seating area. Beautiful, cool and inviting with a romantic view; I also saw several large families and their children enjoying the space to run and play that was adjacent to the seating. Still, with all of the activity it was nonetheless easy to hold a conversation and be heard so I would recommend it as both a good bet for families and couples. My husband enjoyed it previously as a location for business lunches. Price/Value ratio certainly good."

"I was at this place on Sunday for lunch, few people and a pleasant environment. Inspired by the many positive reviews I decided to try it but unfortunately totally disappointed. Starting from the tasteless croquettes inside with a few pieces of seasoning here and there which still didn't give that note of flavor that it should have, on the other hand the frying was well done and dry. The pizzas were very good but when tasted they weren't up to par at all, they arrived cold at the table so much so that my provola was completely solidified like the mozzarella found on a supermarket pizza (and no, it wasn't due to the ingredients placed at the end of cooking as the girl tried to justify herself by perhaps taking me for someone not capable of understanding) both to me and to my partner and hearing from the gentlemen next to us it was not just our problem, the ingredients were of dubious quality (tasteless provola and equally speck) too bad because the dough was good and light. We conclude with the coffee which was too watered down and in my opinion unusable; I understand that they are not a bar but if you offer a coffee shop service it must also be done well. Disappointed, perplexed and with a bitter taste in my mouth because I had very high expectations reading reviews and hearing people's opinions... maybe an unlucky day?! The bill is right in line with the pizzerias in the center of Varese but in my opinion it should review and correct some things also on the use of ingredients at the end of cooking which in my opinion was unbalanced and not in tune with the rest of the composition of the pizza. I will decide whether to give him a second chance because I am sorry given the expectations I had to have had a bad experience with this experience."
