InGalera

€€Classic Cuisine, Italian

Thanks to its location inside Bollate prison, InGalera offers a unique dining experience. Here, guests eat in a room within the prison itself, while dishes – of equal quality to other restaurants in the area – are prepared with the contribution of prison inmates. In this subdued ambience, choose from meat and fish dishes, with a restricted choice at lunchtime and the option of ordering a single dish.

However, some negative feedback highlights issues such as small portion sizes, high prices relative to quantity, and occasional inconsistencies in food freshness and service flexibility. While the setting provides a distinct social and culinary experience, it may not satisfy diners seeking traditional luxury or consistent large portions. It is best suited for those interested in the concept rather than just the meal.
