If you only had 1 meal to eat in Milano, let this be it. We had "typical" dishes for the region like cotoletta and riso giallo and we were absolutely blown away by the chef’s interpretation of every course. The rice was pan-seared to perfection and finished with bone marrow. The cotoletta was crispy enough to hear the crunch of every cut but also so tender on the inside that the juices of the veal flooded the plate. The chef’s amuse-bouche of marinated thinly shaved veal with anchovy was a hot start. We also had an off-menu foie gras which was unctuous and prepared room-temp. And the lamb "ravioli" which was like a dumpling interpretation of agnolotti, or the French agnolos, but with a thai twist on the broth. The broth was made with the jus from the roasted lamb filling and I’ve never seen my husband obsess over a dish like this. We’ve been lucky enough to eat at some of the "best" restaurants in the world (Michelin etc), but I’ve never had lamb this good. The broth was unforgettable and we are still talking about it days later. Simply put, truly one of the most exceptional meals I’ve ever had and the service from our waiter was so warm and welcoming too. The owner (I believe) also waited on us and chatted with us at the end of our meal. She was lovely and so charming! It’s clear everyone here knows what they’re doing and takes pride in getting the most out of ingredients and how they’re prepared. I wouldn’t miss it if you appreciate or love anything about french cooking technique and...
Read moreWe visited Milan October 19th -21st and needed to find a place close to our hotel that served Milanese food. We found this lovely restaurant in a Google search, it turned out be be a fantastic find. The food was so delicious we ate there 2 nights in a row. From start to finish we found the chef loves what he does and shows in the food he presents. One of our favorite dishes was the Milanese Chop and the crispy fried polenta served in the bread bag which we have never had anything like that before, the chop and fried polenta were excellent. During our second night we had the honor to meet this humbled chef which usually rarely happens.
We loved the eclectic decor, the service was attentive making everything perfect. The wait staff and one of the owners made us feel truly welcomed, I just wish I would have written there names down to thank each one of them. We do remember the energetic and happy MoMo (Mohamad) he was fantastic. Next time we are in Milan we will definitely dine here again. Keep up what you are doing you have an...
Read moreWe arrived early 6.50pm for a 7pm opening only to be told they open at 7 but the kitchen did not open until 7.30pm. I showed them their goodbye information along with the instagram information that show 7pm. We were allowed to sit down and wait. We were served the chefs appetiser a fish/carrot/onion soup and bread which was nice. Our order was taken which was their version of a Milanese risotto and gnocchi with a simple tomato and basil sauce. Their gnocchi is bought in and not made on site and they could have blended the cherry tomatoes in 5he gnocchi which was served in bowl that should have reserved for a big salad. The Milanese risotto was ok. Depending on who served you as to the response to a request. I left feeling hungry which was a first on our Italy travels. It was a disappointing first meal in Milan. I looked at 🤨🧐reviews to decide on this restaurant. I should have tried the seven others first. The menu is very limited in its scope so I would...
