Un posto bellissimo dove si mangia molto bene sia col gusto con olfatto è con gli occhi abbiamo provato il menù degustazione così da porter gustare le loro specialità direi tutto molto buono come dolce eccezionale nuvola di tiramisù

Going to Riccio is always an excellent experience in every way. The food is excellent: quality ingredients and evident attention to detail in the presentation of each dish. The location is beautiful, with a refined yet welcoming atmosphere thanks to the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. A restaurant where you immediately feel at ease, whether for a special dinner or a business lunch. Also noteworthy is the extensive, well-stocked wine cellar, with quality options for all tastes. I highly recommend this restaurant, and I always love returning!

An excellent New Year's Eve dinner experience. The seafood-focused menu was excellent, very sophisticated, and beautifully prepared. Excellent service, a lovely atmosphere, and polite and friendly diners. The courses were perfectly timed, perfectly finishing at midnight with a toast and panettone. The price was very fair considering the quality of the food and the special occasion. Overall, an excellent restaurant for elegant dinners, for couples or small groups, even for business, in a refined setting and well-located with dedicated parking in a quiet area. We will definitely be back. Recommended for important dinners. This is NOT a place to bring children.

We've been to Il Riccio restaurant in Varese twice now, and we can confidently say the food is truly sublime. High-quality ingredients, carefully crafted dishes, and balanced flavors demonstrate the meticulous attention to detail and passion in the kitchen. Each visit has been a confirmation: a top-notch gastronomic experience. We'll definitely be back.

I had dinner there last week with my husband and we had a wonderful time in every way. The food was quality, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was excellent. The staff's attention to customer service was excellent. We'll be back soon, especially in the warmer months so we can eat in their fantastic garden. Silvia

We celebrated my boyfriend's graduation at Riccio in Varese, and it was a wonderful experience. The venue is elegant and well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was impeccable: the staff were kind, professional, and attentive to every detail. The seafood dishes were incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and presented with great care. To make the evening even more special, the staff brought out dessert with a small red candle for my boyfriend, a simple but much-appreciated gesture that made us feel truly pampered. An unforgettable experience that we will definitely repeat!

Beautiful garden! Ceviche was not great but main dish was really tasty 😊

Andrea Forni

Over the top!!! Everything is truly exceptional! I've never eaten such good and fresh fish, not to mention the high-quality wines and the professionalism of the owners, who truly make you feel like part of the family. Anyone coming to Varese simply has to go there... it would be sacrilege!

Helpful staff, accommodating individual requests. Very nice choice of fish dishes.

Stayed at the Art Hotel so I got to dine 4 times at Il Riccio. The lunch and dinner experiences were amazing with incredible seafood, and some of the nicest quality I’ve eaten in Italy. Breakfast (included with the accommodation at Art Hotel) was a little too underwhelming though.

We celebrated out Pre-Wedding at Il Riccio! The food was just amazing, the service friendly and uncomplicated and the memories unforgettable. We can highly recommend the restaurant for a dinner or a big fiesta

I’m a wedding planner and while looking for a pre wedding dinner location with a very good Italian dishes we came across this restaurant that happens to be at Art hotel (that my couple ended up to do a buyout for the wedding weekend) - from the pre service, to the trials, to the options of plan A, B, to breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner, Andrea and Vincenzo among with their parents and amazing staff, couldn’t have been a better option. The couple it self and the guests were impressed by the amazing food and service that they provide during the stay and for how friendly they were. The atmosphere its so pretty, brand new and refurbished with so much style and attention to the details. Thank you so much for teaming with me and my staff, this was for sure the first of many times working together.

3.5 ⭐ Abbiamo cenato in questo ristorante spinti dalla curiosità delle ottime recensioni e dal menu con opzioni di pesce interessanti. È appunto specializzato in piatti di pesce. Il crudo di mare è - per chi ama il crudo - favoloso, forse il miglior piatto della serata. Io non amo né le consistenze né il sapore del crudo di mare ma il mio compagno ha apprezzato ogni boccone e anche se non sono un appassionato si notava che il prodotto era freschissimo. Io, come antipasto, ho preso il polpo caramellato - molto gustosa la crema, il polpo era un po' gommoso e duro. Ho mangiato un polpo in uno street food a Catania che lo batteva 10 a 0, ed era servito da un truck a 2.50€... I tagliolini al riccio di mare, il piatto che mi avevano consigliato di prendere, sono stati una delusione. Non si può dire che non fosse un buon piatto, per carità, ma il sapore particolare e caratteristico del riccio si avvertiva a malapena. Se non me lo avessero detto avrei fatto fatica a dire che pasta fosse. Gli scialatielli ai crostacei erano buoni, ma anche qui mi è mancato qualcosa. Nulla di memorabile. La millefoglie era ben eseguita ma ne ho mangiate di migliori - a tratti un po' pesante. Ho speso 140 euro. È un ristorante con materia prima di qualità, freschissima, e proposte interessanti... menù con poche opzioni (aspetto che personalmente adoro). La sala è intima e decorata in maniera piacevole, con richiami alla villa antica in cui è posizionata. Rumore basso, quindi si conversa piacevolmente. L'esecuzione dei piatti, ahimè, non mi ha convinto e credo sia l'aspetto. su cui dovrebbero lavorare di più quindi per quel prezzo non tornerei. Peccato perché il potenziale c'è!
