"I returned to Corazziere after many years. Unfortunately, I don't live in the area anymore. I have preserved, in these years of absence, the memory of a beautiful location, good service and exceptional food. I found a renovated environment with taste and delicacy, a beautiful atmosphere for a quiet and maybe special evening. Overall I was satisfied: we ate beyond the first, what has always been the battle horse of this refined restaurant and that is the cut that has respected expectations and memories. The painful note was the first we didn't appreciate. Although I am convinced of the goodness of the raw materials used, the result was barely enough. A risotto as God commands no longer be ready in a few minutes (who cooks it well) and cannot be aggregated to a collous sauce trying to equal the creaminess of a processing and mantle made respecting the times and the cooking. A constructive criticism of mine, aimed at reviewing some choices of rapidity at the expense of taste and texture..."

"Great food, a slightly noisy environment, we probably went to the wrong Saturday, on the upper floor there were all tablets of 6 10 people, the deep buzz was very high and annoying Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

"Some Italian friends suggested this restaurant as The Place to eat fresh fish. It is located in a small town. Mariano Comense, just between Milan and Como, easily accessible by car. You can park nearby in the big parking space in via Risorgimento, or in the Piazza and walk to the restaurant. The ambiance is cozy and it is located in an antique Casale, refurbished to keep the original wood work visible. The restaurant is family friendly. It is better to make a reservation, since it is small and I suspect it fills easily. Obviously the menu is based on fish, prepared either following classical Italian receipts, or adding a more modern twist. Especially in the cold antipasti I notice the use of a more innovative mix (I tried the tris di tartare, delicious, and my wife the Tartare di Salmone con Avocado, superb). There is no meat on the menu. Where they shine is in the Primi Piatti. They have homemade pasta, which is rare now in Italy. My Linguine con Nero di Seppia were perfect, my wife tried the Paccheri with Coccio di Mare. Beside the menu, they also offer a selection of Piatti del Giorno, where I think they experiment new dishes. I was not able to stop and went into the Secondi, with a Branzino with Salt, a classic preparation from Tuscany. I was not wrong, it was perfect. My wife went directly to the dessert, a classic Panna Cotta with Frutti di Bosco. The wine list is design to match the fish selection. We had a Vermentino dell’ Elba, chilled at the perfect point, and matching our menu. What is impressive in this restaurant is the quality of the fish, and the accuracy in the preparation and presentation. It is would deserve one Michelin star. I hope they get it."

"I came back after more than thirty years. location of romantic and vaguely retro taste, definitely pleasant. very good service, precise, useful and not intrusive, with waiting times contained. the kitchen, renewed compared to then, remains of good level, excellent cellar very well illustrated by the owner as well as excellent sommelier. excellent the possibility, for several of the wines presented, to be able to select only a bottle of 1/2 liter. as at the price, at the menu are indicated very complete routes (even too much for my food habits) at really low costs. I preferred to move outside of these routes, à la carte, with choices dictated only by the palate and with a total cost that was, perhaps a little elevated, why I stopped at 4 stars. place where I will definitely return."
