Hostaria La Baita — Restaurant in Milan

A wonderful Milan vacation with a sad ending. On our last evening we ate at the restaurant "Hostaria la baita" which was an absolute disappointment. After a nice welcome and an appealing ambience came the first encounter with a rather reserved waiter. After the obligatory bread was brought and I asked for olive oil, a plate and salt, the antipathy could be read from the waiter's facial expressions. Were probably already a few customer requests too much... After a short wait (perfectly fine) came my order: Lasagna Bolognese. Unfortunately, this was cold in the middle. When I told this to the waiter, he took my dish again - without comment or apology (rather with an even grumpier look than before). Reheating the now more half lasagna took longer than the actual "preparation". When my previously returned portion was served to me again, it was done with a broad grin and the words, "It's certainly hot enough now." Again, no apology, accommodating or alike. From then on, we were rather shunned than anyone interested in our well-being. No asking if everything was okay, we wanted dessert or espresso, or if we had any other requests. We just wanted to pay and leave. Unfortunately, this process also took quite a long time, because the waiter neither knew what we had ordered nor could remember whether I would want to pay with card or cash. All in all, actually the worst restaurant we visited during our time in Milan. Absolutely no...

The restaurant is located just around the corner of Centrale, and quite touristic. We went as a big group 22 people on Monday (when normally many restaurants in milan are closed) and this was fully packed. Although we had reservation at 21:00 we had to wait 15-20 min before to get our table. We had a pre booked menu but were out is options and finally managed to get alternate options. I would say definitely expected better experience but in the end was not bad. They need definitely to prioritise and not overbook and rotate tables unreasonably which was the reason for the mess. I don’t think the locals prefer to eat here I see mostly tourists. The food taste and quality was overall good and acceptable. The service could definitely be...

They have the RUDEST service I have ever met in Italy. The google maps says it opens from 11:30am (on their website as well) and I even successfully reserved a table online. But when we got there at 11:40, they said it opens from 12:00. We have a heavy luggage and the weather is super windy and cozy, so I kindly asked whether we can wait inside. They replied no and locked the door while we were waiting outside. They even suggest we eating in the Chinese restaurant nearby because we look like Chinese! How RACIST they are!!!! Would never recommend...
