is a very pleasant experience at Cascina Frutteto - the setting is perfect – an airy portico, well distanced tables and a view around you of the lush gardens of the Monza Agrarian School located in the same building. The cuisine didn’t quite live up...to the surroundings, although the portions were generous (too generous for lunch time!) – rather basic dishes obviously prepared in advance – the stuffed aubergine was definitely too salty and the chicken fillet “alla valdostana” was adequate but not outstanding. The desserts however were much praised and apparently quite delicious – an apple cake on vanilla custard and a baked apple in pastry with orange cream. Friendly and attentive service from the young waiting staff (although a request for chili pepper produced a salt and pepper set). Lunchtime prices are very reasonable; the evening menu looked more expensive. This is the sort of place that you don’t go to particularly for the food but for the general experience, which was most enjoyable. Sorry, forgot to ask whether English is spoken but given the average age of the staff, it probably is!More
