    Always an enjoyable experience. We always dine here before our flight home from Malpensa airport. Food is delicious, portion sizes are large, staff is friendly, and a nice ambiance. Restaurant is located in a small town not far from the airport, making it a premium choice. Pizzas, pastas as well as seafood specials. Looking forward to returning soon.

    A perfect place to have a nice meal before flying home from Malpensa. We have been here several times and it never fails to disappoint. The pizza was excellent, with many different options. Fresh white truffles of the season were available and delicious with homemade pasta. Really enjoyed the Veal Milanese, too. Service by Andrea was excellent. All fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit!

    The wait staff is the best I’ve experienced in a long time here in Europe. Ambiance and food were worth the effort to locate parking in a small town location.

    We always enjoy coming to this restaurant when we fly to or from Malpensa. It is a short drive away, with wonderful food and warm hospitality. The pizzas are the main focus but there are many other comfort food items on the menu. We started with a small pizza with a giant bufala mozzarella ball…simple and delicious. We also ordered the veal Milanese and pork ribs…both enjoyable. The Apple tart with ice cream was tasty too. The wine list is quite good and prices are fair. We look forward to coming back.

    The ambience was worth it all. The staff was very courteous and professional. The wine list is very good. However, the food quality was a bit disappointing. I ordered the milanese cutlet and it was not well prepared nor well presented. Dessert was also not appealing. I am confident that I fod not order the right things as I saw other plates passing by (like pasta) which seemed very attractive. I'll try something else next time!

    My family and I come back to Osteria della Pista quite regularly when we fly from Malpensa. It’s always excellent, but this time was somehow very special! On top of very good food (try Focaccia al salmone!), we had the opportunity to chat with the owner, who told us about the long and peculiar history of this restaurant and the building, with the passion and the pride of whom has been managing this place since 1971 ... thanks a lot for this special moment!

    What a wonderful experience! Five family members enjoyed one of the best meals we had during our stay in Italy. I ordered tagliatelle with black truffles and was pleased with the delicate flavors and the texture of the pasta. The food was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the serving size was generous. We loved being surrounded by lively Italian families and other groups who spoke a variety of languages. We were leaving for the airport early the next morning, so we made an early dinner reservation (7:00); by the time we'd finished, both the outdoor and indoor seating areas were packed.

    On my way to Malpensa, my family and I had a quick lunch at Osteria della Pista. This is our second excellent experience in this restaurant! We had spaghetti alle vongole (pasta al dente and tasty clams) and fritto di mare, which was delicious according to my daughter! Staff at really welcoming and the waiter was smiling, kind and efficient. The setting is beautiful and you have the choice to dine inside and outside. Really recommend!
