"This place was an absolute save for our group, as we were temporarily in the Malpensa airport area and wanted to look for a good Italian place to eat dinner at. You must show up early or you will end up waiting as this place gets busy very quickly with many other customers in the evening. We ordered the pasta con vongole, pasta carbonara, pizze (diavolo, 4 formaggi, crudo), pasta bolognese, and tiramisu. The bolognese was easily one of the best I’ve had compared to many Italian restaurants back home. The waiters were quite busy but did their best to accomodate for us and one of our dishes took significantly long to get served. Overall I enjoyed eating here and this place lives up to its reputation. Grazie mille! un viaggiatore dalla NZ"

"First of all I write that the restaurant was full and gives the impression that it is very successful. The waiters are young and nice and full of good intentions. Sorry to write that my experience was not good. I didn't like the dishes. Very average level. There was a loud noise in the restaurant, it is crowded and there is no proper ventilation. There was a complete lack of order in serving the dishes and some of the dishes arrived very late. Regarding one dish we had to mention and ask for it several times"

"The restaurant is very elegant and have original dishes, served and presented with care. The atmosphere is not too posh, although it is very raffinated and the staff tries to make it comfortable and with an accurate service. I must say though that during the whole dinner, I thought that the service was a bit too efficient. Sometimes we were not yet done eating and the waiter/waitress were coming rushing to remove our plates. I think the service would benefit of a bit slower pace, giving all the people at the table the opportunity to eat without stressing that the others were done and waiting or that the plate is ready to be removed any second. Considering the type of restaurant, I was a bit surprised of this negative aspect (maybe other people appreciate the speed? . The menu is quite rich both in meat and fish based dishes. Among the pasta there are some that were also vegetarian. The portions were all abundant. One definitely doesn 't get out of there hungry and, considering the size of the dishes and the quality the prices is reasonable. I took a antipasto misto of cheeses and hams which was served with some jams and honey, a nice vegetable suffle ' (which was though a bit watery in the bottom and gnocchi fritti which was a nice complement. I also had the opportunity to taste a pasta, bigoli, with burrata cream and sundried tomato, which was very blend and dry (felt very heavy eating it and this was the dish that made me the most disappointed, considering that it was probably the untuned note in a nice melody. I took then la gallinella , a fish dished which was quite delicate (maybe a bit too much? I would have rounded up the taste a bit more and generous in terms of fish. It was served with a nice roasted bread that was perfect. At the end, we got also some mixed cookies, which killed completely the idea of ordering any dessert as we were very full. All together, a nice dinner experience, with some uncertainties that I would hope to reconsider on a second visit, which I hope we will have the opportunity to make. Probably, if that will happen, I will ask if there is something for the kids, as the menu didn 't offer anything really of their liking and what we took didn 't really work out."

"Takeaway pizzeria of Cardano al Campo. Always heard speak well and never tried until today: a little disappointed. Great service, fantastic moments of waiting Pizza not satisfying: little cooked, not tasty and difficult to digest. Perhaps I am unlucky also because many friends speak very well But on 3 pizzas (Margherita and devil) all just enough Repeat, perhaps I have unfortunate I will try to see fame"

"Attratto dalle recensioni positive siamo invece incappati in un pranzo che non ci ha affatto soddisfatto. Ottima proposta di menù a prezzo fisso, con primo, secondo, contorno, vino/birra, caffè a 14/15 euro (scelto riso al forno mari e monti, sovracosce di pollo, insalata, vino 1/4 o birra piccola, caffè compreso , peccato che il riso risultasse secco e soprattutto presentato sul piatto in maniera indecente (come preso con una cazzuola e buttato sul piatto , una sola sovracoscia (non arrivava neanche a 50 grammi ossa comprese , insalata tagliata con le mani (foglie quasi intere . Non condanno le quantità, che sono soggettive, ma credo che qui manchi proprio il rispetto del cibo (non mi aspetto masterchef, ovvio, ma neanche a casa si preparano i piatti in questo modo e del cliente (il menu comprende birra o vino e non acqua, il perchè è semplice, perchè l'acqua che tutti prendono devi però pagarla in aggiunta al costo del menu ; tra l'altro, ad un altro cliente gli è stato detto dopo 10 minuti dall'ordinazione che il secondo scelto era terminato (non si poteva dire prima? La cimice trovata sulla sedia la ciliegina sulla torta (nessuno controlla? Per concludere, locale solo per un pasto toccata e fuga, non vi aspettate troppo"
