Hotel Italia

the toilet was not cleaned when we arrived in the room!!! it was dearty, hairy and wet!!! the floor of the whole room was dusty as well. as we wanted to change the room, the personal did not offer any option, we could not change to another room, we had really problems to get the money back, and they did not help us to organise another hotel, at 20.00h. i will never go back there and do not recomend it.

The Antica Osteria Italia is located in a context I would say "medieval" but as soon as you enter the room, the perception is of an impersonal place, a single large room with a kitchen on one side and a bar on the other. Perhaps the concept fits better with its nature as a Hotel. The beautiful external walls entering the internal parking is complicated and to be avoided for those who do not like risky maneuvers. Small, it can accommodate up to 6 cars. It is preferable to find a place outside. The restaurant is well kept and the staff polite and fast , less prepared on the courses, but it goes without saying that the staff is often employed by the hour and perhaps lacks specific qualifications. the pizza I must say, a calzone, of dimensions below the standards seen in other places, but the preparation, the dough and the cooking TOP!.... Even the second courses of presce (Fried), left me pleasantly impressed and vegetables accompaniment well served. The sweets look good even if I haven't tried them. Overall we had a good time and what counts was the education and love placed by the cook in the preparation of the dishes and by the pizza maker. Location in the norm, not elegant or romantic, but it lends itself to a friendly dinner. Average prices, the six of us received a bill of around € 160, considering that we didn't take the first courses. Oh, a little note, the pork cutlet .. I must say Good advice. The restaurant is located in Certosa di Pavia at the crossroads of the S. dei Giovi road with the road that leads to the Certosa, about 4km from Pavia in the hospital area, 7km from Binasco and 30 km from Milan and can be reached by taking the SS dei Giovi.
