Funtanin: The Agritourism Restaurant Where Lombard Culinary Heritage Comes to Life
On September 12, 2024, the Agritourism Restaurant Funtanin officially opened its doors, offering an intimate and welcoming setting nestled in the peaceful Lombard countryside. With only 20 seats available, Funtanin provides an exclusive dining experience in an atmosphere that blends understated elegance with rustic tradition.
Funtanin is far more than a restaurant — it’s a heartfelt homage to Lombard-Milanese culinary traditions, lovingly reimagined through a modern lens. Each dish tells a story, awakening memories, scents, and tales that bridge the past with the present. At the core of our philosophy lies a deep respect for the land, the dedication of local artisans, and the use of authentic, farm-to-table ingredients harvested straight from our family’s own fields.
At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Daniel Colombo, who brings 18 years of experience to the table. He offers a journey through the flavors of Lombardy with dishes that celebrate the region’s rich culinary and olfactory heritage. Raised amidst the recipes of Milanese tradition, Colombo has developed a personal style that blends technical skill, creativity, and a profound respect for high-quality ingredients.
Local Roots, Short Supply Chains, and Sustainability: Our Guiding Philosophy
Funtanin springs from a simple yet profound idea: to honor the bounty that the earth graciously offers. Just steps away from the restaurant, our family farm breathes life into every ingredient, delivering daily-harvested freshness straight to the kitchen. Fruits and vegetables grow in harmony with the gentle rhythms of the seasons.
Our cuisine is rooted in the zero-kilometer ethos, embracing a mindful rejection of waste and a celebration of thoughtful consumption. We partner with carefully chosen local artisans, ensuring every element tells a story of quality, traceability, and authentic connection to the land.
Three Tasting Menus to Tell a Culinary Identity
Funtanin offers three tasting menus, designed to provide distinct yet complementary experiences:
Us, Naturally: a vegetarian selection crafted to highlight the seasonality and purity of ingredients from our land;
The Art of Provocation: a five-course journey that breaks conventions, blending unexpected yet balanced flavors, textures, and inspirations;
Guilty Pleasure: our most indulgent option, featuring seven courses that narrate the complexity of the territory through bold and refined pairings.
A prestigious recognition
A testament to our unwavering commitment to quality and excellence, Funtanin has proudly been part of the Michelin Guide since April 2025. This milestone fills us with immense honor and inspires us every day to share the story of our land with genuine passion and heartfelt authenticity.

Funtanin was born from a deep love for hospitality, the earth, and cooking as a tender act of care. Each dish whispers a story, and every ingredient carries a face and a soul. To dine with us is to slow down, to savor the moment, to listen with your heart, and to let yourself be moved.
