Ristorante Da Annetta

Excellent fine dining, cosy atmosphere and high class service. An amazing wine list and delicious food make this a great choice for romantic dinners for special occasions

This is a place which we will not visit again. The reasons are following: 1) Welcome was a disaster. The confirmed online reservation was not taken into account when we arrived at the restaurant. Finally we got a table after struggling for a while. 2) The portions are ridiculous small for the price. You will pay almost 1 euro for 1 gnocchi. 3) After waiting for 1 hour (60 minutes) for the desert, we decided to cancel it. It was only the selection of cheese, but it took for ever and we have been looking at other tables that arrived later to leave the restaurant. Dinner of the 21-01-2023. I write the review not, after some time reflecting about it, and because I am still remembering the negative experience, specially taking into account the high price we paid for it.

Good restaurant, located in a beautiful villa. Ambiance is very elegant and posh. Traditional large lombard wood chimney inside. Food is good, although temptations for small and sexy dishes win over the quality of the ingredients, in my impression. I was not touched by the size nor the aroma of the various dishes I had. Prosciutto e melone, neither excellent, but good indeed. Rice and persico fish, the breading winning over the delicate lake fish flavours, and costata impanata e fritta with porcini, again too important breading. The service is good and professional. The wine list is vast and very interesting. Medium-high price. To try once more.

Excellent food and service. Well worth the extra premium 👍

Never felt so un-welcome in a restaurant. We went with our two kids (1y, 3y). They were calm and behaved exemplarily, but from the beginning it was clear, that the owner didn’t appreciate their presence in his restaurant. Food was ok, service was stiff. We had the feeling the owner was in his staff’s back, which created an unpleasant atmosphere for the staff and the guests. First and last time we came here.

Impeccable, friendly service, delicious food. Even items not on the menu (cheese platter) was served. Cosy atmosphere. Will come back.

We went there with our two kids and felt very unwelcome as we were clearly not the desired customer base, which is very posh (did not know there was a Rivera in the surroundings of Varese :-) we also felt the atmosphere was heavy and cold, with the owner being always after his staff. A « grazie » would have been a minimum after we paid (16 euros of glass of white wine?) but apparently we did not deserved it. Overall was good to feel a bit longer in Saint Tropez after coming back from the South of France…

I had an amazing aperitivo and diner at the De Annetta restaurant with my friends. Food was incredible and the wine suggestions added so much to our experience. An special thanks to Andrea who welcomed us and recommended delicious wines throughout the night. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would 100% come back. Thank you!

Excellent service and delicious interesting dishes. The menu changes with the best finds and the quality of each dish was excellent. I have had wonderful meals there.
