Simply arriving in Cusago near Milan, where the imposing castle dominates the attractive centre, puts you in a good mood. At Da Orlando, the menu is equally balanced between top-quality fish dishes such as the “bollita di mare” and meat-based dishes that will delight food-lovers, such as snails with trumpet mushrooms and duck breast with ginger. Two elegant dining rooms are the perfect setting for a romantic evening, while the attractive outdoor space comes into its own in summer. A good restaurant with over 40 years of history.

Da Orlando in San Teodoro operates as both a butcher shop and restaurant. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while many praise the fresh local ingredients and perfectly cooked Sardinian roast pork and homemade burgers, others report issues with meat tasting frozen or of poor quality. Service is inconsistent, ranging from friendly and efficient to slow ordering and disorganized delivery, with some complaints about upselling. The ambiance is rustic and casual, though seating can be tight. Value perceptions vary, with some finding it reasonable and others feeling the experience did not justify the cost. It offers a characteristic local dining option with notable highs and lows.
Suitable for diners seeking authentic Sardinian roast meat in a rustic setting, preferably visiting during off-peak hours for better service.

The service is characterized by a cohesive and friendly team in welcoming guests to their small home. Brindo is an informal reality, where the cuisine is fun, engaging and more than simply territorial: raw foods, tartar and fish of the day are at the top!

€€Milanese, Regional Cuisine
Housed in a majestic historic farmhouse, this small friendly restaurant boasts intimate dining rooms and attractive “shabby-chic” style furnishings. In summer, the delightful outdoor space in the internal courtyard offers an idyllic setting. Traditional Milanese cuisine is the star of the show here, including specialities such as risotto with roasted bone-marrow, mondeghili meatballs and delicious breaded veal cutlet, also available in an “imperial” version for sharing.

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. However, some diners found the breaded cutlet too heavy, questioned the truffle quality in the tartare, and noted issues with saltiness and portion sizes. 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.
Suitable for diners seeking traditional Lombard cuisine and canal views, with prior communication for special needs recommended.
