A wonderful experience! I live in Varese, so I'm familiar with Cantello asparagus, but I'd never been there for a tasting! What a pleasant surprise! The menu features simple dishes that showcase the flavor of the asparagus (the ladies' plating was delicious). Even the dessert, an excellent gelato/sorbet, is made with this local product! Lastly, artisanal asparagus chocolates (truly unique). Unfortunately, the liqueur was sold out, but it's a great opportunity to return to this osteria! Thanks to Adriano, who entertained us with his passion after lunch!

Very unique and unexpected lunch ! The asparagus based menu was very good in particular the asparagus risotto and the presentation very original. You will feel very welcome in this restaurant and chef Michelangelo is a show by himself ! A stop there will light up your day however make sure you have the time to enjoy it ! A once in a lifetime !

Wow, what a fantastic restaurant experience! Please note: Be prepared to wait a while – but Adriano goes to great lengths to provide the best possible service. We had an appetizer, pasta, and then the asparagus dish. Afterwards, we were even treated to dessert. He even showed us a film about how he grows the asparagus himself and cooked everything by himself. At the end, we were even given flowers. It was an incredible visit and highly recommended for anyone looking for something authentic and traditional. Highly recommended! 😊🤩

Good evening everyone, I've been living in Cantello for a year and a half now and I'd NEVER been to Trattoria della Pesa. This evening I was moved; it's incredible how a town can still have such traditions and wonderful people. Adriano opened my eyes; more and more places like his will die in Italy, and I couldn't help but shed a few tears! I don't even know why I'm writing this post, perhaps to say thank you, Cantello, because I've come to live in the most beautiful place in the world. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't yet, to go meet Adriano and shake his hand, because he deserves a standing ovation. ♥️

This was a special dinner, Chef Adriano, known as Michelangelo, very enthusiastically passed on to us his great passion for asparagus; from cultivation to cooking and plating. Excellent products cooked with skill. To mention is the unconventional presentation of the asparagus with flowers and Bach. Thank You ! We will remember this evening for some time.

We went to Cantello for asparagus, and it was absolutely worth it. The chef prepared a fantastic risotto and Bismarck-style asparagus, unlike anything I'd ever tasted before. The quality of the asparagus is simply fantastic. Plus, talking to him, we learned a lot about growing and preparing it. Highly recommended.

Saturday evening dinner to enjoy Cantello asparagus with friends. The asparagus here at Adriano Facchinetti is special and unique, more than just locally sourced, as it's grown and cooked by him himself with such passion. A farmer and restaurateur, he has selected the best quality asparagus over the years. Book in advance and he'll pick it especially for you. The specialties are the risotto with asparagus tips (more asparagus than rice, and my advice is to have it uncooked to better appreciate the flavor) and the Bella Cantello asparagus dish (see photo). The dishes are generous. The asparagus are sweet and tender all the way through. Don't be fooled by the first impression when you enter the restaurant—it's small but clean—but sit down and try the asparagus. There's no need to rush because everything is freshly cooked, and you'll be surprised by the deliciousness.

Excellent food: very good prosciutto appetizer, very delicate asparagus risotto, delicious asparagus, excellent red wine, amazing asparagus ice cream. We also loved the welcome, the explanations, and the setting. I recommend booking 😉 Thanks for the flowers 🌺

We stumbled across this fabulous place on the way to Lugano. The chef makes a delicious asparagus risotto which is served in the style of Michelangelo. It must be seen to be believed! An extremely nice man, delicious speedy pasta, gorgeous prosciutto, even asparagus ice cream. He does everything himself. We had a super time. Very good value.

We were the only customers that evening, owner was super kind and very attentive. He didn’t speak any English but luckily I speak Italian and was able to order/communicate for everyone. We ended up just getting a meat/cheese appetizer and pasta. Bolognese sauce was great! I wasn’t a huge fan of the arrabiata sauce I had, lacked a little flavor for me, but wife liked it just fine. Had a great time and owner was very generous. Would definitely recommend! Sad we didn’t try any of the asparagus dishes!

Amamzing asparagus restaurant! The service and food was 10/10!

Christianne Pereira Armari

A genuine treat if you're looking for truly delicious asparagus!

Had an amazing dinner at this genuine Italian restaurant. The owner was both the host and the cook, and excelled at both. The antipasti and pizze were amazing! And make sure you try his home made asparagus grappa! The ultimate Italian food experience!

Barbara Genghini

Fantasticoooo!!!!!!!

Jalomi Maayan

Their speciality is asparagus, which they cultivate themselves and is typical for the region (they even have asparagus ice cream and liquor!). The food was delicious and the owner very amiable. A unforgettable experience!

Highlight of our road trip. Excellent service and delicious asparagus everything.

Non sono solito lasciare recensioni, per pigrizia, ma data la simpatia di Adriano non potevo esimermi. Oltre alla cucina in sé merita davvero la spiegazione e la presentazione dei piatti. Nulla è infatti lasciato al caso nella presentazione dei piatti. Assolutamente protagonista è l' asparago davvero buono e ben cucinato. Non è il solito asparago di Cantello, bianco , ma una variante verde da loro prodotta. Da sottolineare il risotto, non mantecato apposta per risaltare l'asparago. Altra grande sorpresa è stata la presentazione del secondo, Tutto davvero molto particolare, ma non voglio svelare la sorpresa. Estremamente gentile è Adriano, il proprietario che spiega con passione sul lavori Certamente non è da andarci con troppa fretta il servizio vuole i suoi giusti tempi. Infine il conto proporzionato alle materia prima di qualità

We ate well at Trattoria della Pesa. First of all, you need to know before arriving that you need plenty of time to enjoy the experience. An experience not only for the palate but also for the other senses, the presentation of the dishes, and of its majesty, the asparagus. In fact, the entire menu features asparagus, a true local specialty. Obviously, the atmosphere is that of a trattoria, but it's a very pleasant evening to spend there.

Alessandra Toniutti Antonov

Very limited, but delicious asparagus-based menu’, served with flare. Chef Michelangelo is a master of hospitality and created a warm and interactive atmosphere from the start going all lengths to make us feel pampered. We even went home with complimentary flower bouquets. Off the asparagus season the place serves other local dishes and pizza. Altogether, an out-of-the-ordinary and very pleasant evening. Thanks!

Asparagi, Asparagi e Asparagi. Super Asparagi con la A maiuscola. Asparagi con la corona 👑. Asparagi di qualità 😋. Grazie allo chef Adriano per la sua simpatia e per la sua cucina semplice e genuina, dall'antipasto al dolce. Super 💯👍

Buongiorno non è mia abitudine fare recensioni negative ma dopo aver pranzato qui ho avuto la brutta idea di leggere alcune risposte a recensioni negative. Visto e considerato la poca umiltà e la nulla consapevolezza del servizio offerto devo proprio prendere una posizione. Il proprietario ha esordito che avremmo dovuto aspettare e così è stato. Entrati alle 12.20 usciti alle 13.48. "meglio se prendete tutti la stessa cosa" 😕 la pasta al dente o ben cotta? Al dente. E infatti è arrivata ben cotta, molto "ben cotta". Doveva essere al ragù ma di quest'ultimo solo l'ombra. Di secondo, ovviamente tutti e tre uguali, affettati misti. 5 fette di prosciutto cotto, quello per toast, due di crudo, tre fette di salame che, "per fare in fretta ho lasciato la buccia". Le insalate miste postume, nel senso che sono arrivate dopo che avevamo finito i secondi ma soprattutto con delle foglie oramai passate a miglior vita (marce). Ahh insalata mista con pomodori e... Fagioli in scatola. Caffè al banco altrimenti saremmo ancora la. Ovviamente il pos non funziona. A voi le considerazioni. Ahh visto che una delle risposte date alle recensioni è stata che senza scontrino è fake...

We stopped for lunch on the way to Lugano. The place was empty except us and I guess the owner. He was very friendly and helpful but the place was very dirty especially the toilet. I ended up getting the stomach bug and spent the following night and day on the bathroom in our hotel room in Lugano. Not the best vacation unfortunately
