"We were staying at the hotel because it was near the airport we booked with points. We decided to eat at the restaurant basically to give them some business. So when we went down to dinner we thought we'd be the only ones in the dining room. Were we surprised. The restaurant was packed, maybe thirty tables, and for good reason. The food was fantastic, the service impeccable. We shared an antipasto of octopus and burrata, and two pastas, tagliatelle with ragu and truffles, and peccari with tomoato sauce, and they were fantastic. Two glasses of wine, dessert and coffee, and for &0 Euro total. Even if you aren't staying at the hotel, go to the restaurant!"

"This place was an absolute save for our group, as we were temporarily in the Malpensa airport area and wanted to look for a good Italian place to eat dinner at. You must show up early or you will end up waiting as this place gets busy very quickly with many other customers in the evening. We ordered the pasta con vongole, pasta carbonara, pizze (diavolo, 4 formaggi, crudo), pasta bolognese, and tiramisu. The bolognese was easily one of the best I’ve had compared to many Italian restaurants back home. The waiters were quite busy but did their best to accomodate for us and one of our dishes took significantly long to get served. Overall I enjoyed eating here and this place lives up to its reputation. Grazie mille! un viaggiatore dalla NZ"

"Ristorante Wood, situato all’interno di una villa liberty arredata con stile minimal sulle sfumature del bianco e del nero, porta a Gallarate (VA) la cucina mediterranea. Una coppia affiatata, Lara in cucina e Andrea in sala, hanno instaurato un rapporto intenso col territorio seppur l’identità sia chiara fin dall’inizio: si fanno sentire le radici siciliane (isole Eolie per la precisione) e l’amore per la penisola iberica di Lara. Lei è molto determinata, ha una forte personalità che si riflette nei piatti. Ecco, infatti, che si viene accolti da un amuse bouche di finto pomodoro ripieno di pane cunzato e una fogliolina di origano cubano. Acido e balsamico! Il mare lo si assapora all’interno dello spaghetto cozze e aneto. Qui l’entusiasmo si stabilizza e prosegue dritto verso il secondo per raggiungere picchi di memorabile bontà. La croba arrosto: un pesce dalla polpa soda ed umida, dal sapore dolce e delicato avvolto in una salsa chardonnay all’aneto il cui unico difetto è volerne sempre di più. Le melanzane in tempura conferiscono croccantezza e grassezza al piatto. Da urlo! Immancabile il passaggio sui formaggi “dal mondo” (non visibili nel reel): Parmigiano 36 mesi, podolico, robiola d’alpeggio 30 mesi 3 latti da Tortona, raclette con senape per raggiungere livelli di amarezza altissimi e Cabrales spagnolo. Il dolce è un vero peccato di gola: una tartelletta, composta di fichi d’india, namelaka al cioccolato bianco, arancia e cannella. La sala è perfettamente governata da Andrea. Con eleganza e garbo trasporta e racconta questo viaggio attraverso i sapori di terre lontane per usi e tradizioni dalla sua Mantova. Il modo in cui riesce ad entrare in simbiosi con la clientela è un esempio di garbo e raffinatezza, che mi sento di definire come i tratti distintivi di questo ristorante di cui prendere nota."

"I loved the location where the wood is masterful, curated and minimal at the same time. I ordered an exceptional hemp beer and then some gnocchi to the saffron very good. I assume that the portions are right, but I may be accustomed to larger portions. we say that the ideal is perhaps to try more dishes if one is very hungry (then obviously it is very subjective,) or go of hamburgers. but this is only my advice to the coming adventurous. For the rest I can say that I was pleasantly impressed by the restaurant project against hunger where, for example, if you took the cacio and pepper patri, 2€ more would go to this project and also 50 cent solid water. More restaurants should do it, so good! Moreover, congratulations for the site well done, where I could peek the menu before coming to dinner."

"Super nice waiter, and really good food! We tried the zafaron risotto, the steak, porcini and sea food pasta. All the dishes were amazing with a lot of flavour, and the meat was super tender. Before the main dishes we had a selection of cheese, with burrata, gorgonzola and other cured cheeses, all of them were delicious. They also offered us a selection of croquettes and some sweet nuts for free. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and I will come back for sure."
