If you are travelling near Milan, you can easily find this restraunt. The choice of plates is not so big, but the speciality of this place is risotto. You can try tris of risotti, or choose only one. I have tried risotto with porcini mushrooms, it was good, but i did not like that they added the oil with taste of truffel. It gives to risotto a different taste. The rest of food is good, company style. The plates are enormous.

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.

We dined here because we stayed in the hotel. Reservation is recommended because even on a Monday evening the restaurant rapidly filled up with locals and local business people. You can choose how many courses you want and within each course there is a wide selection. Antipasti are served buffet style. Usually we include dessert, but this time we were very satisfied with just a coffee and a limoncello!See pictures to whet your appetite!Good morning,thanks for your kind words! It's good to know you appreciated our Restaurant and our dishes selection.We wait for you soon!

End of business day meal! Nice, relaxing place. Dimmed lights. Italian (northern) country decor. Outstanding service. The waitress was helpful in explaining the dishes and even brought extra dish (Risotto with mushrooms, and if I recall deer meat) free of charge for us to try. Appetizer included a large mix of Italian cold cuts and a variety of Italian and French cheeses! The Ossobuco, a friend ordered, he claims was outstanding, it looked very good, and plentiful! I had the gnocchi in a delicious sauce with meat! Topped the night with tiramisu!

If you are looking for a special setting, plenty of charm, with many candles lights to surround you while having a good dinner, with a beautiful view, in an old and beautiful house, you might want to come here. Owner and staff very friendly will do everything to welcome you and improve your stay, as they did with us. Highly recommended
