Everything's great! Highly recommended…
It was okay. The pizzas were tasty, but we found the staff unfriendly, and the atmosphere in the place was a bit strange due to the relatively loud (house) music.
A hidden gem in the streets of Maderno. We had a delicious meal in a charming ambiance with extremely friendly service. The antipasti were a meal in themselves and the ossobuco was very flavorful. If we are in Maderno again next time, we will gladly walk a little way up to this delightful restaurant.
Very good food, Nice service. Do not use Google maps - parking is tricky. Reserve table as its popular
Absolutely beautiful and highly recommended! 👍🏻😋
A cozy restaurant, quietly located on a side street.
Highly recommended...perfect food preparation...pleasant, quiet restaurant...attentive service...great wine selection.<br><br>We'll gladly come back.
What a nice little off the main road restaurant. We enjoyed it so much the first time, we came back two nights later. First night I had the 50, yes 50 cm pizza. I admit a bit much for one person but tackled it. Second time was the spicy salami spaghetti that was incredible. So good my wife and I ordered a second plate to share. The staff works so well together and was a very pleasant experience both times. Strongly recommend this for anybody in the Maderno area and you won't be disappointed. Great job!!
OH! MY! GOSH! We went to Il Boccone twice during our 1 week stay in Maderno! What an excellent little hidden gem! We wished we had discovered it a little sooner as we are pretty certain we would have added in another visit! Both times we visited the food, service and atmosphere were awesome. We sat out on the terrace area both times. What a quaint romantic setting! Nicole, Astrid and Dmitri all took great care of us on our visits (sorry if any of the names are misspelled) and it was great to see them all working together as a team to take care of all the guests! The first time we visited we had the Wild Boar Ragù, a pizza loonga (which we didn't realize was SO big at 50cm... Oops 😉) and a Mixed Salad. The 2nd time we visited, we had 2 orders of the Siamo Tornati (spicy spaghetti) with the spicy salami... They just have an extra added special touch to this dish that made it so delicious we ordered a 3rd round to split! Then... The Tiramisu... Outstanding! Try it! Even if you're full... It is light and you will not be disappointed! We wish we had a restaurant like this back home!
What a wonderful evening at Il Boccone in Maderno! ❤️🇮🇹<br><br>Sometimes you go to a restaurant and simply enjoy a delicious meal. And sometimes you experience an evening that stays with you for a long time. That's exactly how it was for us at Il Boccone.<br><br>Even the appetizer was simply incredible. A plate that left nothing to be desired: eggplant casserole, ham, cheese, sausage, fish, seafood… so diverse, lovingly presented, and simply fantastic in taste. We didn't even know where to begin. 😍<br><br>And then the pasta – perfectly balanced, bursting with flavor, and exactly how you want Italian food to be. You can tell that the cooking here is done with passion.<br><br>But what truly made this evening special for us wasn't just the food.<br><br>It was the incredibly warm, family atmosphere. The owner, her daughter, and Dimitri took such good care of us that we felt welcome from the very first moment. Add to that the lovely background music and the personal atmosphere – you sit there and feel a bit like you're visiting friends in Italy.<br><br>We've eaten at countless restaurants in our lives. But very few manage to leave you at the end of the evening thinking, "Wow – that was truly special."<br><br>That's exactly the feeling we had here.<br><br>Il Boccone wasn't just a restaurant visit for us. It was a culinary and personal delight that we won't soon forget.<br><br>Many thanks to the owner, her daughter, her husband, the chef, and Dimitri for this wonderful evening. ❤️<br><br>We'll definitely be back! 🇮🇹🍝❤️
We visited this restaurant in Maderno and found both the food and service to be absolutely excellent. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive. We ordered the tagliatelle with ragù (the chef's recommendation). The pasta was tasty, well-prepared, and of perfectly acceptable quality. However, it lacked that certain something – it was delicious, but not so outstanding that we would return solely for the food.<br><br>The menu is clearly geared towards the many tourists in the region (especially German-speaking ones). The focus is definitely on pizza, complemented by a mix of well-known Italian classics from various regions. We appreciated that there were also a few genuine regional specialties on the menu, such as ossobuco or pasta with trout from Lake Garda.<br><br>What will stay with us most is the ambiance. We sat on the covered terrace, which features a somewhat eclectic mix of outdoor furniture and decorations including pictures of flamingos, camels, and zebras. The whole experience was accompanied by music that was a bit too loud for our taste and a very eclectic mix – everything from Arabic pop to Peruvian flute music was represented. Whether this was intended as a specific concept wasn't entirely clear to us; it struck us as rather jarring.<br><br>If you're looking for friendly service and solid, tourist-oriented food, you won't go wrong here.
A great place to eat in Maderno. Found by chance in a narrow side street off the main road. A charming Italian restaurant with excellent food. Very friendly service. Good value for money! Highly recommended!
Definitely worth a visit.<br><br>Either at small tables in a little alley across the street or in the garden with its rustic stone walls.<br><br>Besides Italian classics, they offer dishes with an oriental flair. The lamb tagine is highly recommended.<br><br>Good wine selection. Great dessert, very good service.
Grazie mille 🙏🤩
Thank you very much 🍕
Delighted to find such a gem for a true taste of Italian cuisine. The setting and the food were just perfect and the staff couldn't have been any more helpful. The waiter took great care to explain the dishes to us and helped us to make our choices. Service was very good but not in any way rushed. The waitresses were just so pleasant and courteous. You won't stumble by chance on thisite gem but seek it out and you will have a meal that wi delight. Thanks again to the wonderful staff and of course the chef who made our evening complete.
We love this place and come here every time we are on vacation at Moderna🤍
