A thread woven in the kitchen, from Monza to Sicily, Tradition and Creativity

LA FILANDA: A FAMILY STORY,
A NEW CHAPTER OF FLAVOR

Forty years ago, Lello Benvenuto opened a small pizzeria and restaurant, a dream born from a love of Sicily and the desire to share its flavors. Over time, that pizzeria became a beloved local landmark, and today, Lello remains an irreplaceable source of energy at La Filanda. Cristian has inherited not only his love for cooking but also the thread that ties their Sicilian roots to Brianza. Through the years, he has delicately introduced innovation, blending his father’s legacy with his own modern vision. The approach has evolved, becoming more refined and creative, but what remains constant is the warmth of Sicilian hospitality—a mix of passion and authenticity that makes guests feel right at home.

Today, La Filanda’s cuisine connects two worlds: Sicily, with its bold and authentic flavors, and Monza, with its contemporary elegance. Cristian continues weaving this bond, creating dishes that tell the story of his family, childhood memories, and tradition, all with a personal touch. Each course is a small story of past, present, and future, guided by the sure hand of someone who knows that the best innovation comes from the deepest roots.

THE SPIRIT OF SICILIAN TRADITION,
BOUND TO MODERN CREATIVITY

La Filanda may push the boundaries of Sicilian tradition, but it fiercely preserves its soul. Chef Cristian Benvenuto has found his unique way to express his cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from Sicily’s flavors and colors.

The result? A cuisine that balances on the fine line between innovation and tradition, between familiar and creative, always maintaining a harmony between authenticity and refinement.
