Many years ago, I stumbled (quite literally) upon this place as I drove away from the Alfa Romeo…read morehistoric museum. My friend saw their tiny sign and tugged my sleeve - urging me to stop since it looked like the parking lot was filled with the vehicles of local working folks. It was wonderful and cheap back then and this time - decidedly more upscale but still remarkably affordable. We picked (with help from our fantastic waitress) hearty fare from the limited menu. I had what read from the name "spatzel" but came to me like perfectly cooked pasta with cheese and a delicately flavored sauce. I could have had two plates. My friend had the same and we interrupted each other with yummy noises and silly smiles. As we dined, the place filled up with what appeared to be workmen from local construction projects. The waitress knew them all by name (even hugged a couple) and as I glanced at their choices, I saw they matched what we were having. This is what I love about traveling off the beaten path in a new country. Sure the big cities have the art, music, culture, and post-card-worthy attractions but the real cultural experiences happen out where the working people live, work and, more important for us Yelpers, eat. Find this place with your GPS. Go in hungry and get ready to smile and make yummy noses. Recommended

I ordered the Cortevecchia pizza (why not). It was very good, though the folks here had the misfortune of making the first pizza I'd eaten since I had the best pizza ever in Rome. But overall, a very nice pizza restaurant to go to if you're in the area.

Italian upscale kitchen at its best in the heart of Saronno. Not pizza nor fast food, but excellent…read morespecialities with fresh incredients. We were happy to have a dinner during mushroom season and enjoyed with both appetizer and the main course. Relatively broad vine list with acceptable entry level wines up to very expensive ones. Friendly and professional staff. This is not place with kids (my opinion only) but excellent for a business dinner or with good friends.
