La filanda, macherio

A thread that weaves stories of Sicily and Monza in every dish

Regional cuisine finds a new home to tell its story:
In the center of Macherio, with roots proudly anchored in Sicily, La Filanda brings a fresh perspective to the culinary visions of Chef Cristian Benvenuto. Drawing from Sicily’s rich cultural heritage and diverse ingredients, the chef has crafted a unique identity for his family’s establishment, reimagining tradition through an elegant and creative philosophy.

Set in an 18th-century former silk mill with an adjoining inn, the restaurant is more than just a dining spot. High vaulted ceilings and soft lighting create an intimate, romantic ambiance, inviting guests on a journey of flavors. Here, where silk threads once wove, another kind of thread now binds two lands—Sicily and Brianza—in a quiet dance of flavors and traditions.

Through his vision, Chef Benvenuto has shaped this thread into dishes that blend the sunny warmth of Sicily with the refined elegance of Brianza. Each course is like finely crafted fabric, where genuine ingredients mix with innovative techniques, creating a culinary experience that brings the island’s warmth and a touch of refined modernity to the table.

With its rich history, La Filanda becomes a meeting point between past and present, uniting two diverse lands through a powerful, delicate thread. Once used to create precious fabrics, this thread now weaves culinary emotions, bringing a radiant touch of Sicilian creativity to the heart of Brianza.
