Very good food. Extremely good service. Very nice location with ample spaces for tables that are well away from each other, so that the level of noise is surprisingly pleasant even if the restaurant is full. Very interesting and commendable project. Interesting to hear the experience directly from the manager who is also very professional and nice

15 euro lunch for an appetizer and main, aka a huge plate of food! Cafe/espresso included. You park outside in visitors area and go through the sign in entrance as other visitors do. After saying the name of the reservation, the jail guide will take you into the restaurant. You never enter the jail or see the inside but you dine in a space attached to it. Such a great concept! You never feel terrified or endangered. There’s one armed security guard at the front cashier and barred windows - small reminders that the staff are convinced prisoners. But other than that, you forget that you’re dining in a jail! Everyday the lunch special is the different so you never know what you are getting. The food was so fresh. The homemade bread they serve was also so scrumptious. I also met the woman who created this restaurant concept and manages the place. She is so lovely and took her time to discuss with me not only about the restaurant but also incarceration situations in US vs Italy. This places deserves even more than 5 stars for the work they are doing with these prisoners. I went by car so I’m not sure how tourists can visit but I heard there’s a metro stop nearby.

Food very good and very well made, the wine list quite impressive. The restaurant is well decorated and the service is excellent. This restaurant is inside the local jail, but guess what?... You won’t notice it inside the restaurant. It’s a really premium service.

We had a great time, the food was magnificent but we heard screaming and banging….

This is a restaurant inside a prison. So quite a sobering experience. The food was plenty and delicious.

Most tasting menus show case their culinary skills. In my opinion it was more like a fixed price tourist menu. I'd order a la carte next time. Better selection. It was very good though. Found the cost to be reasonable and quality good.

Very cool concept - pretty wild place to have a dinner. It’s in an actual functioning prison. Unfortunately the actual food is not particularly great, but it’s still a cool spot to visit.

- Great prices for a high quality ingredients - Hard to get in as it is located in an active jail yard 😳

Unconventional experience inside the prison of Bollate. Carte with interesting choices, and seasonal off-menu. We tried some of the starters: red salmon tartare (delicate but little tasty and missing -to my taste- a bit of dressing), “carne nuda d’inverno” (raw Fassona meat tartare) prepared at the table with raw egg, Dijon mustard and anchovies (super tasty and delicate) and cannellini beans soup with crème brûlée with food gras (the best of the 3 starters to me, tasty and very creative). We then moved to the main course. We took „Risotto alla crema di peperoni, zeste di limone e crostacei“ and stuffed pig cheek with polenta. Rice was delicate with a great mix between orange taste and row shrimps. Pig cheek was not enough cooked and a bit chewy, and polenta very liquid. A bit disappointing. Desserts were a comeback to higher standards, with a matcha ice cream in baked apples, a 3 layers chocolate cake (Il cioccolato nel cioccolato, tre colori e tre consistente ) and La Financier al Giandiua. All were very particular and tasty. Location: We have been welcomed at the entrance of the prison (many parking places) and accompanied in the restaurant, inside the prison area. The inside furniture Is basic, but the posters in the walls (referring to films in famous escapes from jails) and the simple objects furnishing the rooms make the atmosphere nice and welcoming. Recommended to book in advance.

Steak over cooked and poor atmosphere. Light was like being Xrayed. Don't bother. What happened?
