An unpretentious bar that’s open late. It’s always lively, with lots of people, a great buzz, and you can grab something to eat and enjoy a drink. What more could you ask for?
A lovely bar with excellent food. The Tiramisu was amazing
Good selection of food on the whole, service was very slow in getting served. Disappointed that the Caprese Salad was served with dried basil on the side and not fresh. The food quality overall was good and not to bad price wise
Perfect Aperol aperitief and a Margarita cocktail done right fresh, well-balanced, no overkill, nice strong. Add a solid platter of cheese and cured meats and you’ve got the full Milanese aperitivo experience. The atmosphere is warm and authentic: classic, lively, and effortlessly stylish. No frills, just quality execution. From an operational standpoint, this is how you build consistency—stick to the basics and execute them flawlessly. Verdict: dependable excellence. A place that understands timing, taste, and tradition and delivers every time.
Loved this place, has real atmosphere and helpful staff with great service. We had tokeep going back we enjoyed it so much. Particularly loved the Messina beer, Prosecco and Hugo Dpritz
