"Great and very unique pizzas. Desserts that were way beyond what we expected at a pizza placce and that belong in a much more expensive restaurant. But more importantly incredible customer service, where the owner drove us back to our hotel when we could no longer get a taxi after an hour of trying. That same care for his customers clearly shows in the food! Make sure to eat here if you visit Varese!"
