Starting with the positives the service was great the mood was set exactly as needed but the positives end there . The food was mediocre at best , the amuse bouche was 2 sweat and 2 salty dishes which ended up tasting horrible even when eating apart a short period of time. Got a starter which at first was so salty because of the soya that it couldn't be eaten and when I told the waiter that it was too salty for my liking and later the waiter came back with a plain dish which was horrible as well , during the first dish I added some truffle asked for a bit of truffle but the waiter added 5gr of it , my fault because I wasn't noticing.

It is amazing to see how billions of investments in a brand and an organisation can be ruined by the "attitude" of one single waiter (Cesare, who incredibly behaved more like his namesake Roman emperor than an employee) who has not been trained and taught that the Client was King (rather than him being the Emperor)... U-N-A-C-C-E-P-T-A-B-L-E in any case, we could all vote with our feet and boycott the Armani Caffè, but I truly believe Mister Armanii deserves better people, and would demand that his team be fixed and people trained up to the level of his namesake Brand. Make sure you DO not go until then. Milan,...
