A great place to spend a pleasant evening. The restaurant is in a very quiet location, the food is excellent, and we chose the set menu. A positive experience.

Excellent lunch after a visit to the nearby Observatory. Very friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere, with the stove creating an old-world atmosphere.

I took a well-deserved out of office day and, together with my friend “Chef,” we set off on a beautiful hike from the parking lot just below the Campo dei Fiori Observatory up to Forte di Orino — about ten kilometers round trip. On our way back, my friend treated me to lunch at Osteria Irma, and what a treat it was! The whole experience was simply splendid: warm hospitality, genuine courtesy, and dishes that felt both comforting and refined. The fried porcini mushrooms were out of this world — crispy, golden perfection — while the sciatt were an irresistible explosion of flavor that had us smiling with every bite. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the crema catalana sealed the deal: silky, fragrant, and absolutely worthy of praise. Special mention goes to Arianna, the maître, whose kindness made us feel at home, and to the Osteria’s chef, not only talented but also wonderfully friendly. From today on, Osteria Irma officially enters my list of restaurants worth the trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine nature, tradition, and unforgettable food memories.

The view and atmosphere on a beautiful sunny day is unbeatable at this location and along this road … the service was quick even though it was so busy .. I love fried calamari but when I had it on the coast say Finale Liguria, it’s served with a delicious dip .. that’s how I like it .. but still very delicious .. the grilled veggies were not seasoned and tasted a bit too plain for me .. everything was well presented .. thank you

Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. We got the cold cuts and cheese which were local and the polenta which was incredible. I ordered the quail which thought would be whole, which was prepared differently but still good. Wine was top 👌

What a surprise on a rainy day hiking - a small and cozy restaurant. We had amazing fresh pasta, Campari Spritzz and a dessert. It was super nice, we learned about the history of the area and continued home in the rain!

Top location and top food

Federico Carlo Martegani

Definitely one of the best restaurant in Varese County. Seems a back to the future restaurant but the food is super good, well served and very nice staff. Thank you for everything, for the summer 2021 I suggest to take insalata di lesso and medaglioni di cervo with a red wine suggested by the maitre. Lovely. I want to come back as soon as possible.

Good restaurant, pleasant room with fireplace, elegant atmosphere and attentive and friendly service, traditional local dishes cooked with care and abundant, not cheap but in line with the quality served.

Cristiana Gentile

Traditional restaurant in the midst of the mountains, I loved it! Good food and service

Edoardo Faletti

good restaurant with a very nice and supportive service. 4 stars and not 5 for prices a little bit higher. worth going

Valentina

Old fashion place.

Guido Cimoli

Short menu but satisfying. Not ordinary but neither too much out of touch. Ingredients quite nice and well cooked. Friendly staff

Riccardo Alberti

Great place, cozy, quiet, with great dishes and a wide selection of wines. The menu wasn't really rich but every plate was delicious. The waiting time between courses was a little long, but not too much. On hot days you can dine outside, "au plein air".

Was with a group from our association with about 25 people. We were about to make a hike, but unfortunately 5 of us were unable to join, including me. We went to the restaurant asking if there were any tables free. They said that they were fully booked, despite a lot of tables being completely empty (about 60% of the tables). Because we had to wait for our group. We waited 1,5 hour, sitting on trees and just talking, we went back to look if it was indeed filling up because it was fully booked, but when we returned there were even more empty tables. When we asked if we could take a table now, they still said they were fully booked. Maybe it was staff shortage, but we don't think that is the case. Sad that this place is so unwelcoming and rude if you don't book before hand, even if they have plenty of space. Would recommend to take enough drinking water and food when coming here, and don't bother going to this place. They handle criticism very badly, as seen in other reviews. ------ This section is added after the response of the owner. We did come with a large group, and we did have lunch packets. But we asked if we could use the tables AND order if that was a requirement to use the tables. We would order food and drinks. This was not accepted. Also we politely asked to use your toilets, to which your staff first gave an angry look, but still agreed we could refill our bottles and use the toilet. I don't understand why you have to lie about these details.
