€€Lombardian
A splendid example of a country trattoria, which has been delighting its guests with typical dishes from Lombardy for over a century. Meals are served either in the attractive vintage-style dining room or, in fine weather, outdoors under the Virginia creeper and mature wisteria. Truly enchanting!

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.
