The church of San Rocco played an important role in the history of Gallarate, insomuch that in the 19th century it opened a posteria (grocery store) next to it, which supplied the town with the best food. It is in this wonderful venue that Andrea Bianchi and Gennaro Ivan Gattuso, i.e. the World Champion Rino Gattuso, decided to open their own restaurant.
“La Posteria San Rocco” welcomes its guests in a fascinating and evocative environment brought to life after careful restoration that has respected its original character despite the addition of modern elements.
