Then you come here and taste heaven: little pillow clouds with a rainbow of different sauces. You can get risotto as well which is great but let's be honest you can get great risotto all over, and make it yourself. Feast on the gnocchi and never look back!

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.

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.

(Fairly cheap for the area: €10-15 a plate) The restaurant was clean and the wait staff were excellent! The service was very prompt and they were courteous even with our "basic Italian speaking" ordering. The menu is available in several languages (including English), there is a large variety of starters, 1st plates, 2nd plates, sides and beverages but note ..... The portions are HUGE! You don't need two plates! The price doesn't indicate how big the sizes are. The flavor was a little bland- especially for this area - (that's why it's a 4 star for me) but everything else was pretty expected for the price.
