A Taste of Italy Until Takeoff: Converted Farmhouse Near Linate
We had the pleasure of stopping for lunch at this beautiful converted farmhouse just before our flight from Linate Airport back to London. Located only a convenient 20-minute drive from the airport, it was a stunning and relaxing pre-flight experience. The ambiance of the old stone building is immediately inviting, perfectly complemented by the incredible aromas wafting from the kitchen. The service and the food were truly outstanding, making this a highlight of the trip, not just a necessary stop.
Outstanding, Seasonal Cuisine
The core of the experience is the food philosophy. The kitchen excels at preparing traditional Italian dishes—occasionally revisited with a modern flair—all made with fresh, seasonal, and quality raw materials. For instance, we shared the delicious roasted rosemary potatoes, a perfect example of how the simple, fresh ingredients truly elevate the experience. The commitment to sourcing, including organic options where possible, adds immensely to the quality of every bite.
All-Day Italian Hospitality
Open from 9:00 a.m., this spot is the ideal choice for any moment. In the morning, you can enjoy a lovely breakfast or snack with a selection of delicious pastries, cakes, and desserts, paired with coffee or organic fruit juices and smoothies. For lunch, there is a strong selection of dishes prepared fresh from the kitchen.
As aperitif time approaches and into the evening, the focus shifts to shared bites, including savory platters, cicchetti, pizzas, and focaccias made on the farm with organic flours. These delicious items can be perfectly paired with a draft beer, a cocktail, or a glass from their distinguished FIVI wine selection.
This converted farmhouse is more than just an airport restaurant; it’s a tranquil, quality dining oasis right when you need it most.
