The atmosphere is very pleasant, warm, and welcoming, and the staff was simply wonderful: courteous, attentive, and professional, they made us feel at ease from the first moment. The menu is full of delicious options, all inspired by tradition but with a touch of creativity. For appetizers, we tried the Trippa della Brianza: a flavorful dish that truly smells of home. For the first course, the Pappardelle del Bosco with wild boar ragù was sublime, but it was the second course that left me speechless: I ordered the Tagliata d'Autunno, cooked exactly as requested, incredibly tender, and accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and chestnuts in red wine. The sauce was so good I wish I had more! In addition to the main menu, there is also a selection of desserts and wines. And here's the icing on the cake: I tried the Saffron Tiramisu. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life! Creamy, balanced, with that delicate and precious aftertaste that only saffron can provide. In short, Mercato38 is a gem: you can feel the passion in every dish, the atmosphere is intimate and refined, and the service is truly top-notch. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes and... treat myself to another Saffron Tiramisu! Highly recommended.

Each dish was prepared with great care: perfect portions, balanced flavors, and precisely adjusted textures and temperatures. You can sense a cuisine that pays attention to the quality of its ingredients and remains faithful to its recipes, interpreted with a confident touch. The service was extraordinary. Manuel looked after us with professionalism and kindness, offering timely advice that further enhanced the meal. His expertise and ability to put guests at ease truly make the difference. A restaurant that combines a welcoming atmosphere, excellent cuisine, and impeccable service. I will gladly return.
