Located by the canal in Trezzano sul Naviglio, Osteria del Ponte offers a charming farmhouse setting with a warm, traditional atmosphere. The menu focuses on Lombard classics, with risotto, veal, and meatballs receiving praise.

Service is generally friendly but inconsistent, with reports of slow response and unmet accessibility requests. While the ambiance is evocative, value for money is disputed; several reviewers felt the prices were high relative to the food quality and service provided.
