Osteria Da Jerry in Province of Varese

"The food is really exquisite rustic food and the restaurant level is very high considering it is located deep in the provinces. The crusty character of the owner adds to the charm. Price very reasonable."

"Very local osteria close to Monate lake, the local cheese serviced with baked bread was so yummy! Love the presentation of my seafood risotto, beautiful with the smashed dry flowers, very colourful and appetizing!"

"Sit down and let Jerry bringing you 2 starters and the main courses - I bet you will enjoy a lot this experience!"

"Hospitality in this place is amazing! Some of the dishes were a little bit on the salty side, but that's clearly compensated for by the happy and very hospitable host (who doesn't speak a word of english btw). We even received a bottle of wine as a goodbye gift! Never met nicer restaurant owners! Thank you for an amazing experience."

"One of the best places i have been to in italy. The concept of osteria is held to the letter and although it might seem unorganized the food is just amazing and the owner himself is really fun and kind. Would recommend 10/10 for anyone that wants to be surprised by the food that is served."

"dropped in by accident... One of the best restaurant experiences in a long time: outside, sunny day, a big table with local workers, got severed their first course, when we arrived. My wife asked for menu, no menue, Jerry IS the menu, telling you, what's available (it looks like, he prepares different food every day)... we ordered Angus beef and calamari with salad, but Jerry refused this combination, so my wife got Calamari with chips... shortly after we got water (we didn't want wine on our cicle-trip) and polenta bread with olive oil and some kind of fresh cheese... very tasty... also our main dishes, very tasty. we ordered two macchiato, together with this Jerry served a very tasty cake. we've been curious about the bill, but paid only stunning 30 € great eyperience, Thank you Jerry"

"Definitely a must go. Food is exceptional place very cosy everyone super kind"

"This is the real Italian experience! What an awesome experience. Gerry does not have a menu. You sit for thirty seconds and he has your starters (antipasti) on the tables. Whoom! Top notch parma ham and self-made bread. What a taste. It was followed by a bean salad. Then Gerry asked us what type of pasta we wanted. This is not the option for the vegan. But if you are an omnivore, you cannot miss this restaurant. We could walk there. But having been there I would say it’s worth a longer ride. Next up: noodle phase (primi piatti) with spaghetti bolognaise, moules and risotto as three different courses. All in the middle of the table to share for all participants. Meat and fish course was impressive. Especially the tuna. Dessert was a tiramisu and grappa or limoncello. Total bill for 8 was 157 Euros. It was one of the most original and memorable experiences we had. Highly recommended."
