Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Se volete vivere un’esperienza esclusiva in un luogo d’altri tempi, in un’atmosfera accogliente e familiare, con soli 30 posti a sedere, siete nel posto giusto. Entrando nella nuova Osteria Italia si ha la percezione di aprire la porta della casa di nonna, che profuma di cose buone e amore. In realtà questo ristorante è molto più di questo, è ricercatezza e innovazione. Un applauso va al giovanissimo chef, che con eleganza e gusto mette sul tavolo dei piatti con ingredienti di altissima qualità e origine locale, rivedendoli in chiave moderna. Un team di giovanissimi che si impegnano al massimo per rispettare luoghi e tradizioni, con una buona dose di simpatia. Da provare! Consigliatissimo! Bravi!"
"Che fortuna! Ho scoperto un'altra vera TRATTORIA. Ambiente rigorosamente da TRATTORIA, tavoli, sedie, banconi, infissi... Menù da TRATTORIA pochi ma ottimi piatti della cucina tipica lombarda. Servizio e tempi meravigliosamente da TRATTORIA. Per il Parcheggio se non lo trovate di fronte oppure nel piccolo spiazzo a sinistra vi consiglio di scendere per via Cavour qui trovate un altro spiazzo dove si può parcheggiare. Consiglio l'antipasto della casa, cassinelli freschi e cotoletta alla milanese. Per dolce ottimo zabaione con biscotti. Non vedo L'ora di ritornare."
"E' stato molto facile prenotare. Il cibo è tutto veramente ottimo (a partire dal pane, di Altamura......delizioso!), ma, per mio gusto personale, il "Risotto alla zucca con pasta di luganega, caprino e limone candito" è qualcosa di spaziale. Ci torneremo sicuramente!"
"A pochi passi dalla bella chiesa affrescata di Santa Maria degli Angeli (scuola del Luini) dove si celebra ed è molto sentita la festa di Sant'Antonio Abate, ho trovato questa bella osteria, dall'ambiente rustico ma molto curato. Pochi piatti ma estrosi. Ho mangiaro un filetto di salmerino in parte cotto e in parte credo a crudo, guarnito con salsine sfiziose. Piatto ottimamente presentato, pagnotta di pane fragrante da accompaganre con un olio evo. Non sapevo con che vino accompagnarlo, ma son stato ben consigliato per un Nebbiolo leggero e profumato. Secondo di peace di lago, calice di vino, acqua e caffè sui 30 euro, assolutamente ben spesi. Alla prossima festa di Sant'Antonio da farci il bis!!"
"Abbiamo cenato qui ieri sera e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Cibo ottimo; Buon servizio; Conto all'inizio errato di 4 €, ma si sono accorti subito e hanno rimediato; Ambiente accogliente, seppur non troppo curato."
"Fantastic option if you are looking for original Lombardian cuisine! We specifically enjoyed the friendly personal service by Stefano and the homemade zabaione for dessert. Must try in Albavilla!"
"Cosy restaurant with great, authentic Italian food that tasted extremely fresh. The host was great as well, very happy to talk to guests and explain dishes if necessary."
"Absolutely fantastic experience, that even after two weeks of excellent culinary experiences in Italy stands out very positively. Amazing tasting, authentic Lombardian food presented in an great ambiance. Stefano is an amazing host, is super easy to communicate with, and makes great suggestions. We don't know the name of the chef, but boy, they know their craft! Especially the casoncelli was superb, Michelin star quality. We are seriously considering coming back again tomorrow."
