From the Rho Fair it takes a handful of minutes, as well as from Milan city, in fact the loyal customers are almost all Milanese.
The gourmet destination created by Gaetano Marinaccio with Nadia Petronio in 2020 it “took flight” and the place it rightly deserves in the appreciation of fine dining enthusiasts in the Lombardy capital and its hinterland.
The latest confirmation arrived in recent days with the inclusion in the Identità Golose 2024 guidea recognition that rewards a lot of perseverance, a lot of study and a lot of work.
We were saying that the restaurant opened its doors in 2020 with all the social obstacles of the period but the gourmet project “started” in January 2023, with the entry of Alfonso Daviducci in the role of Executive Chef.
Daviducci has over 15 years of experience in high-level and starred venues with an extraordinary personal ability; great technique, creative but concrete hand, light, measured and of great balance, all characteristics that he transfers to his dishes.
At “La Cucina – Not the usual restaurant” you find yourself in a wedding favor (there are only 18 seats) served at the table directly by the owners and you take a relaxed journey, pampered by a sequence of courses chosen according to your needs, the menus range from 5 to nine 9 issues and all have an unbeatable quality/price ratio for the level of cuisine.
Daviducci enchants already with the dishes, lively, colorful but elegant and never baroque, he doesn’t like superstructures even though they aren’t minimal, the Campania origins can be felt in the pastas and in the many vegetal notes but his cuisine speaks an international language, an understandable Esperanto and, for this reason, it is definitely suitable for demanding customers who stop here during the fair periods.
There are many dishes to try: fish and meat of the highest quality and the desserts are also very interesting but the signature that no one can forget is the Risotto Giallo, definitely one of the best in Lombardy and beyond.
Very interesting are the bread basket, the tasting of oils and praise also for the cellar, personally curated by Gaetano Marinaccio, with non-trivial labels and some real gems.
