LOVED THIS PLACE! In fact we had dinner here on our 2nd night in Milan (out of 3 in June!) and came back for lunch the next day to try more dishes. We sat at the bar both times and enjoyed watching the action. It’s a busy place so the chefs only engage occasionally. The waiters were attentive yet gave us space to enjoy our time. Every dish was delightful. I want more even thinking about it! The wine list was super. We would go back again! And again!
Reserved for two at 21:30, visiting from New York. At 21:00, with several tables free, we asked to be seated early — refused, no explanation given. At 21:30, we were shown to the bar counter, with no prior indication this was our assigned seating. We asked to move to an available table — refused again. Those tables stayed empty until closing. On the service：The manager's conduct was unacceptable. As non-Italian guests, we felt deliberately unwelcome — a treatment we would not expect any local diner to receive. His inability to coordinate basic hospitality only added to our disappointment. On the food: vitello tonnato was excellent, pasta well-seasoned and flavorful, cotoletta alla milanese slightly dry. Without the manager's behavior, this would have been a near-perfect meal.
Great spot with delicious Milanese food. We sat at the bar and it was fun to watch them prepare and yell out the orders. The staff spoke English well and were very friendly. We had the fried artichoke, risotto and agnolotti - which was our favorite.
Wonderful experience! Warm, cozy atmosphere full of character. Classic Italian dishes, but every plate was a creative surprise — familiar flavors in an unexpected, stunning presentation. Thank you to the whole team and the chef for putting so much heart into what you do!
he Milan-style schnitzel was a large portion and delicious. After frying, they finish it off in butter for a bit. Their pasta and wines were great. The atmosphere is pleasant, staff are friendly, and if you sit at the bar, you can watch the food being prepared. The tiramisu was legendary. It had orange and raisin flavors—we absolutely loved it.
