We went to the restaurant on Sunday evening with my husband and 2 friends, We had an amazing meal, Not a huge menu which to me is perfect,there was plenty to choose from but not too much to confuse a person. The meal was out standing, not one down fall at all, each plate was as I expected with a little added twist, making the meal stand out from any meal I have had in a very long time !! The wine choice was very good. The surrounding views are beautiful and serene, subtle music and low lights, just perfectThe staff were extremely efficient, polite and well presented. Totally out standing ! An amazing night I will remember for a long time (But please make sure you take mosquito repellent if seated outside, I have more than enough bites to remind me of the evening)

I was there for a quick dinner with some collegues: it was a great experience!Meat was great, rice was a marvellous experience, desserts were the best things you can eat!There is a big private parking area near the restaurant so even if it is a little bit far from the city center it is easy to be reached.At the end a very nice place to eat even in special events!

Ate here with friends and although the restaurant is attractive, the food excellent quality albeit iin small portions and the service prompt there was absolutely no warmth on the part of the staff. We were given the impression they were doing us a favour by serving us. For a restaurant this expensive in a small town like Varese clients should feel more welcome.

The only thing better than the freshness of the ingredients and the flavor of the dishes is the enthusiasm and welcoming attitude of the host! That was a true pleasure and the branzino al sale was the best I've ever had. A 'go-to' place every time we are in Varese!!! Thank you for the amazing experience

We visited La Terrazza for the first time after reading the good reviews on Tripadvisor and weren't disappointed. Delicious food, beautifully presented, served by friendly courteous staff and very reasonably priced considering the quality of the food. We'll definitely return and can highly recommend it.

I was the first time in this Restaurant, that's very nice. All was very good and I can't tell something about the price, because i was invited based on a business dinner.But what I can say is that the waiter has room for improvement as follows:He was very exerted to explain me all the food in English. That was very good.But there were served a lot of food we didn't have odered (but without to pay additional, which was naturally OK) and he didn't ask me if i like it or not. I refer herewith on the 3 crabs and the oysters and it was not possible for me to eat them. Maybe good but too strange for me to eat.From this Point of time he ignored me deliberatly regarding to top up my glasses (wine and water) and that is in fact an effrontery.The 3 Points instead of 5 is only because of this situation.

Enjoyed a lovely business lunch with fresh truffles on a lovely steak tartare starter and just perfect risotto. Beware the dessert trolley - you will find it very hard to resist. Very good wine list. Would love to visit in Spring/summer as the garden looked amazing.

Went with family for dinner. Small restaurant in the old part of Varese. Super friendly service and menu deviates from usual northern Italian fare. Delicious prawn tartare, followed by large fusili with duck ragu-sublime. Pigeon breast with rhubarb sauce was delicious. My son declared the steak was the best he'd ever had. No room for dolce!!! Will return.

1. Locanda Garibaldi

Reviewed By Meghan J
With over 500 âexcellentâ reviews and a smattering of âterribleâ my husband and I felt safe in choosing Locanda Garibaldi as a new dining location. Usually in these instances the few outlying bad reviews relate to very specific eventsâ¦a customer felt slighted, the kitchenâs timing was off, the chef perhaps had a rare bad night, etc. However, I really wish we had read through the bad reviews (in Italian) because many of them have common elements, which perfectly capture our night as well.Menu (or lack thereof)There is no menu, and the owner Giuseppe comes over, sits down at your table, and basically suggests what youâll have. (Note: My husband is Italian, and I speak Italian. I have no idea how this process would work with non-Italian speakers!) When asked for details about certain dishes, Giuseppeâs response (in a jovial way) was, âitâs delicious; donât you trust me?â I didnât feel in control at all over my dish selection; however, due to the positive reviews, I felt safe that Iâd probably like what arrived.Food quality/priceIn fact, the food is good, but definitely âcasalingaââ¦think more âGrandmaâs cookingâ rather than âcontemporary cuisine.â Thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with a good home-style dish, but I donât think it warrants the prices charged. In regard to pricing, that too seemed very informal. Without a menu, you canât be certain that your bill wasnât influenced (positively or negatively) by how well you clicked with the owner.Service(This is THE âmake or breakâ element.) As mentioned in other reviews, the owner Giuseppe makes a point to sit down and chat with his customers. And, in fact, after we had finished our meal, Giuseppe returned to our table, sat down and proceeded to talk for at least 20 minutes! By the time he was finished, it was getting late, and we decided to go. I felt what could have been a quiet evening with my husband turned into a table for three.I fully concede that many of the positive reviews are based on exactly the âfriendly and warmâ demeanor of the owners. So Iâd say if youâre the gregarious type who loves (extended) banter with your host, this may be your place. If, like us, you prefer friendly but reserved service and straightforward selection and pricing, I would not recommend Locanda Garibaldi. I wish Giuseppe well, and I appreciate his passion for his work, but this just wasn't our type of place.
