Kind of dark and moody...looks legit! This place was crowded when I went and for good reason. The food was amazing. I tried the lobster gnocchi and shrimp and lemon zest risotto both were really great. The service was fantastic and even though they were busy they still found me a seat. I didn't plan on being in Varese but this meal made the trip worth it. Highly recommended.

Ordered the carbonara, pasta with clams, and a pizza The pizza was delicious and anything with burrata is always good. Carbonara was delicious and Al dente and made with guanciale One Star removed was due to the pasta with clams. It wasn't that good and I had a couple pieces of shell in my pasta so I hurt my teeth with a couple bites

I highly recommend the gnocco frito (dough that puffs into pillows when lightly fried) with fresh Parma ham and buffalo mozzarella.

Highly recommend - I have not been disappointed with any dish and I always get the gnocco Freire with Parma and mozzarella!

We started with the beef tartar which was flavorful, but every other bite had gristle. I got the tagliatelle with prawn and the sauce was fishy, which I could not understand at all because the prawns themselves tasted fine. My son got the ravioli, which was just ok. Finally, we ordered the hot chocolate cake (think mini lava cake) - which was good but very small. Maybe we ordered all the wrong things. The service was good.

The tiramisu is the perfect way to end the meal. I usually ask which pastas are hand-made that day. English is limited - this is not a tourist place. This restaurant is quieter in atmosphere than most. Speak quietly if you are American and are used to yelling across the table, as you will ruin it for all other Americans who come after you. If you can speak a bit of Italian and know about regional cuisine differences of Italy, you will love this place.
