A very nice garden to make a good impression on anyone. Food was very good and fresh. We had crudités and was all to “lick the plate”. Also good choice of vine. If you have an extra time definitely ask for pistachio gelato made on time! ( approximately 15/20min) but make sure to share it (good for 6 people easily)as is HUGE!!
The staff was absolutely lovely, attentive and friendly yet very professional. I had a dinner during the big private event and they have still managed to serve me without a too long wait. I had 4 dishes and they were all really good. While cacio e pepe gambero rosso was a too salty for me, their tuna stake with grilled vegetables was amazing. If possible, reserve the outdoor table to fully enjoy al fresco dinning in the garden. The restaurant itself is a part of the 5-star hotel.
One of the greatest meals I’ve ever had. Came here for dinner with my friend group while traveling across Italy and visiting Milan. We were seated and served with some of the best service and treated with utmost kindness and respect. Drinks, food, and dessert were all top notch and my only wish is that I could move to Milan to make this a weekly dinner habit.
We started the evening with four oysters, fresh and well-presented, with a clean, pleasant taste but the experience felt slightly incomplete without lemon, which would have enhanced their natural freshness. Prior to the starters, we were served bread accompanied by butter and an excellent, aromatic olive oil. Following the oysters, we had the tuna tartare with potato cream. The combination was interesting and harmonious, offering a delicate balance between the richness of the tuna and the smoothness of the potato. A refined dish, enjoyable and thoughtfully composed. For the main course, I chose the cacio e pepe with gambero rosso. The pasta was cooked slightly more al dente than I personally prefer, which affected the overall texture of the dish. While technically correct, it felt a bit firm. The gambero rosso was served raw , something I understand can be traditional in certain Italian preparations, however, in this context the flavor felt unusual and didn’t integrate particularly well with the sauce. Overall, the dish was acceptable, but not memorable and somewhat underwhelming for a restaurant of this standing. We also tried the gnocchi with gambero rosso, where the prawns were cooked and the difference was remarkable. The flavors were far more expressive, balanced, and comforting. Both the gnocchi and the prawns were truly delicious, making this dish a clear highlight of the evening. To accompany the meal, we enjoyed a dry red wine, which was well chosen and complemented the dishes nicely. The atmosphere was pleasant and elegant, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening, contributing positively to the overall experience. That said, considering the restaurant’s reputation, strong online reviews, and prestigious image, the dinner did not quite live up to expectations. The disappointment of the cacio e pepe, combined with prices that felt quite high for what was delivered, impacted the overall impression.
