The event entitled “Taste itineraries” in its first edition involves almost thirty places for all tastes: from nightlife bars to historic venues, from the traditional restaurants of the Sacro Monte to the new things to discover in the suburbs, from super-chic restaurants to the most popular ones, with differentiated menus but all at a price set in advance.
«A journey that involves around thirty activities including restaurants, bars, pastry shops, delicatessens and city clubs – explains the deputy mayor Ivana Perusin – to raise awareness of the products and gastronomic traditions of the area, enhancing the many activities of the city that have joined the initiative with enthusiasm and creativity, an expression of the vitality and entrepreneurial dynamism of Varese.

Present at the press conference Antonio Besacchi director of Confcommercio Ascom Varese, Roberto Tanzi director of Ascom Varese, Rosita De Fino, territorial director of Confesercenti. «The project was included in the intervention program of the Varese commercial district – he explains Roberto Quamori Tanzi – wants to involve the entire catering sector, including public establishments, therefore not only lunches and dinners but also aperitifs”
At the presentation too Fabio Zanetti of Slow Food, which underlined the presence of local zero-kilometer products, from gastronomy to Varese wines. «When it comes to food, Slow Food is always happy to be there: food has social, political and economic importance – commented Fabio Zanetti – In this review we have given the initial contribution to identifying local foods: and in the review wines, cured meats, Luinese and goat’s cheese, honey and much more will be included.”
Among the local proposals, there are also those that deserve particular special mentions for their commitment, both in the composition of the recipes and in their titles: we invite you for example to discover what a “Gazbenacho” or a “Dis’cioles Varese” is. , but also a “Sandwich 21100” or a “Borducanier Cocktail”, or to imagine – or better yet taste – the taste of a “Carpione of trout from our lakes with reduction of bitter Rubino”, or a “Char emulsion with honey Angera and blown polenta” or pappardelle with chestnut pollen from Frattini beekeeping with Luinese cheese fondue and confit cherry tomatoes.
There is also an abundance of cheese platters from our area, even composed in an original way, and desserts inspired by Varese specialities, above all the good and the bad: in short, an experience to be replicated in several places, to be able to compare the proposals.
