I can't tell you about the rooms because we have stayed in a different, near by place, but I can talk about the food. Very good choice for pizza and pasta. Tartufata (pizza) was a dream and pasta delicious. The service was great from all the personnel! It's a place to eat when you want real Italian food. P.S. I loved their dough.
We didn’t not expect a lot as it was a restaurant in a hotel near Milan Malpensa Airport. But our hotel recommended it so we made a 10-min trip to come and try the food. We ordered the clams spaghetti, cod with crusted pistachios and pomegranate yoghurt dressing, beef tartare, oven vegetables and pistachio cake for dessert! Everything was delicious and we were very happy to find such good italian food near the airport. Definitely recommend if you are staying nearby during your transit!
I booked this hotel for my mom and she absolutely loved it. The room was spotless and had everything she needed. The free airport shuttle service was incredibly convenient, just a quick call and they picked her up within minutes. Breakfast was included and offered a great variety of delicious options. The staff, including the driver and the receptionist, were all very kind and helpful. She had a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend Ostelleria della Pista to anyone visiting the area.
I'm unsure if this review page is about the hotel or restaurant. Let's do both. We spent a night in this place and had a great time. Hotel: staff lovely and helpful, room was comfortable and clean but starting to look like it will be due for a renovation sometime soon. Parking is a bit tight and the carpark small. This is a function of the age and size of the site, and not a criticism of the establishment. The included breakfast was very good, one of the best I have ever had in Italy! Restaurant: Was amazing. We were there on a Thursday night and the place (it's quite big) was packed and had a band playing. The food was great, a well balanced menu with something for everyone. Expertly prepared with good quality ingredients and then expertly served. It wasn't cheap, but I didn't feel ripped off either. My wife (who is fussy - hope she doesn't read this!) declared it her "best meal ever". Thank you Osteria Della Pista!
The staff was attentive and very quick to respond to my messages. My flight was delayed by 5 hours, and I ended up staying at the hotel for only about 3 hours. It was meant to be an overnight layover in Milan (original landing at 7:30 p.m. turned into past midnight), and with my connecting flight just 4–5 hours later, I even contemplated skipping the hotel altogether. Since it was too late for the free pick-up, I would have had to pay €35–40 for a taxi. I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting much — I’d had a past experience in Italy where I arrived late for check-in and ended up locked out, forced to find another hotel room on the spot. So I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating this place was. The staff (Celeste) stayed up late trying to reach me via WhatsApp and phone calls to confirm my arrival time. I truly felt he went above and beyond, especially considering this was a non-refundable booking (and he probably also needed to arrange the 4 a.m. airport drop-off). In the end, I did take a cab to the hotel, managed a couple of hours of rest, and I’m glad I did. Not to mention, the breakfast-to-go in my room. Although my stay was short, I would definitely recommend this lovely place to anyone looking for quiet accommodation and excellent customer service.
