"This is one of the oldest and most sophisticated farm holiday and dining locations around Milan. It's quite close to town, less tha an hour's drive on the South-Western side, and very well refurbished. In fact it is a completely renovated set of buildings,...as nice as the nicest farm hotel in Tuscany, with spa-wellness, meeting centre, hotel rooms, a restaurant and this simpler bistrot It does have cows in sight, has maintained the overall structure and looks of a traditional cascina farm house just very thoroughly cleaned up and kept. The bistrot itself is in a building in the main courtyard, with few tables under a veranda and a dozen within a single large room with welcome and mild air conditioning, if it gets noisy with patrons' voices when busy. We had a three-courses meal, accurately served and kindly, if a bit slowly two hours overall. We liked very much ravioli stuffed with carp fish, with a simple molten butter sauce: both fish and butter were great, and the dough was tasty. Mixed cold cuts were pleasant, while risotto with sturgeon and lemon zest was very good if a bit less done than I like it. Second courses were ok: we choose simple pork ribs and sausages, both grilled while taking out fat with beer and sugar for the ribs, which was quite pleasant if less compelling than first courses. A tagliata beef steak was similarly good. Desserts were also good a chocolate and a meringue pudding. With plenty of bottled water, two glasses of wine and coffee the bill added up to a bit over Euro per person: reasonable for a good lunch in a quite sophisticated place, consistent with the fact this is an elegant restaurant in a farm environment, rather than a farm where tourists can come and eat."
