Farini — Restaurant in Milan

Bad and poor service, when I asked if they had anything vegan the waitress said no, I asked if there was milk in the plain focaccia and pizza rossa that I saw in the display and she replied yes without even offer to look at the ingredients list ( which is mandatory by law) she replied that only the toast was vegan, so I asked what was in it and she offered me a ham and cheese or veggies and cheese.... Then I understood that she didn't even knew was vegan meant. I ordered a beer and when I paid I asked at the register if there was any milk, eggs or pig fat in the doughs (which would be quote strange in pizza or focaccia) she replied smiling and a little embarrassed that she didn't knew....a part from the first waitress being kind of rude I think that is important to train and require your employees to know the ingredients of what you're selling...

This bakery in Milano is a franchise from Venezia (there are 3 outlets there) and for me it's totally out of character to give high score for a franchise. However, I like the fact that you can see a bloke at the back rolling out pizzas and if you lucky you will walk in as a huge, fresh and still steaming pizza is being brought out - you get that one of course! For breakfast they have many standad options as well as typical milanese breakfast of brioche (croissant as its better known in Anglo-Saxon world), juice and coffee. Coffee and a large slice of pizza cost €5.20. Its openned until 22.30 and in the evenings you also have an option of 'happy hour'. Don't get confused with the happy hour of cheaper drinks. Happy hour in Italy means a drink and all you can eat nibbles. Here it will cost you €10. Not a bad option if you are not for fine...

The first time i was in farini was in venizia 2018. As much as i liked the place and the service i was amazed and impressed with every little detail and i said to myself the next time i visit italy i will see if there is one somewhere else out of venizia. Taday i was in milano i lokked for farini milano and o was disppointed The service was really bad they dont give you the time to choose and they keep talking to each other and looking at you and laughing. A waitress was extremly rude to the customor and she was screaming just because the woman didnt know where can she order the food. It was a big deception even the food want that good. Anyone knows the big variety of feeod in italy but there are adresses that stay in our memories. I hope that farini will make a better impression in milano and make a better stuff that respect...
