According to the menu, this restaurant serves one of the 5 best cutlets in Milan, and I tend to believe it. The meat of the "cotoletta imbruttita" was very tender and fell right off the bone. The crispy breadcrumb coating was well-seasoned with salt and touches of orange zest, and had the perfect thickness in comparison to the meat.

The staff are very friendly and polite.
A must if you are a...

Then the staff asked us "What do you want me to do?" I mean, how would I know what to do? Staff should be trained to know how to handle these things, right? I could feel the staff being attentive, but it was really disappointing that no one in the entire restaurant could handle this issue. We didn't want to waste too much time so we paid and left. Anyway, I just want to remind you in the review that you may eat incompletely...
