Bauscia — Restaurant in Milan

May 2024 Our hotel recommended this charming place for delicious food in the Brera district, which is lovely at night. The restaurant has a nice outdoor dining area. The service was attentive and very kind. The food and wine were exceptional. The bread selection was perfect. I enjoyed the yellow-seeded bread and sadly had to resist having more so I wouldn’t spoil my appetite. The Casanova di Nero 2019 paired well with our meal. The steak tartare was by far the best we’ve EVER had, it was seriously that good. The meat was so fresh and tender and the portion was very generous. They shaved an aromatic summer truffle and topped it with a delectable burrata. The risotto with veal marrow was heavenly. The seafood linguini was cooked perfectly, and the seafood was fresh and tasty. Even the espresso was made with love. This is our new favorite Milanese restaurant and we can’t wait to return.

Update Nov 2024, we came back and didn’t have as wonderful of an experience as the first time, but it was still very good. Didn’t love the dishes we had, tuna, pasta with truffle, schnitzel. Everything was fine, but definitely not the same wow experience as the first time. We also had a horrible table. The seat was dirty and had hair all over it. I guess they didn’t recognize we were repeat customers even though we made our reservation several months in advance. Our friends came a week prior and they had an amazing experience. Hopefully it was just an off night for us. I will still give them another chance next time we’re back. But I will have the hotel make a reservation instead of us as we definitely get better service...

Absolutely excellent little spot for an upscale yet unpretentious business lunch. The setting is elegant, polished and minimalist. Milan can feel arrogant as a city, almost as if it wants to impose the shirt and tie professional dress code even on its leisurely strolling tourists. You can't feel out of place here. The service is top notch and the food is delicious. Portions are on the controlled side but offer an excellent excuse not to stagnate the conversation, after all this is a place - at least during the day - primarily for client and employee lunches. The menu changes daily although there is a more expansive à la carte which the waiting staff knows by heart that you can order from. Now for the food & service ratings: Spaghetto ai frutti di mare: 3.5/5 - Fantastic ingredients that are also cooked well but could be better. An additional point removed for the oil, in stupendous excess here which in turn tapers the flavor profile of the tomato. gained for the chilli kick which was greatly and pleasantly surprising. Costata (entrecôte) with grilled veg: 6/5 - 400g of perfectly heavenly cooked meat. Wonderfully charred, tender, a symphony of flavors and textures. Octopus salad: 4.5/5 - A perfectly sublime dish let down by portion size. Octopus salad is a humble, honest dish that needs to pretense. They almost have it right. Don't be mistaken though, these few bites are likely better than anything else you may have in Milan. Salmon fillet on pea puree - 4/5 - Tender as butter, salmon is easy to mess up and had this been cooked for 3 seconds less it would take...
