The story
In Bodio Lomnago, just a few kilometres from Varese, Villa Baroni occupies a restored farmhouse set among greenery and facing the calm waters of Lake Varese. The restaurant, part of the hotel, has earned a Michelin Recommended award for its consistent, high-quality classic cuisine.
The kitchen’s philosophy is straightforward: love for the classic, belief in creative pairings, and an unwavering commitment to fresh, genuine ingredients treated with simple cooking that never masks the raw product. The menu ranges from seafood to meat specialties, with both fish and carnivorous options given equal care. Diners can expect dishes that reflect the seasons and the lake’s bounty, complemented by an extensive wine list from the villa’s cellars.
The setting is as memorable as the food. The panoramic terrace and veranda offer front-row seats to one of the most beautiful vistas in the region—the lake, the mountains, and the sky. Inside, the dining rooms are finely furnished, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance. The service is professional and attentive, noted by guests for its precision and warmth.
Michelin’s recommendation underscores the restaurant’s dedication to refinement without pretension. Villa Baroni is open for lunch and dinner throughout the year, closing Monday evening and all day Tuesday. It also offers outdoor seating, private rooms, and parking, making it suitable for both romantic dinners and special events.
