Levino — Restaurant in Milan

We loved this place. It is family run and we felt like family. I remember looking at my watch and said to my wife, "Honey, we've been here three hours! " And we stayed another hour! The father and son are waiting the tables and the mother and daughter run the kitchen. Only the son speaks some English but who cares?!? We communicated and had a wonderful time. We ate things that we had never heard of but took their recommendation and it was so good. Top of the list is grandpa's award winning stew. In the states wed call it a gumbo. It's had a little bit of everything and wow!!! It was fabulous. We talked about it for several days. And I loved hearing the sun talk about his grandfather and his cooking. This family certainly loves food and wants to share the traditions from Abruzzo, their home. And the wine choices were excellent, especially for the price. Trust me, you can't go wrong here. At the end, chef mom came out and although we didn't speak the same language, we communicated with smiles and food. They were so happy to have us there and we were so happy...

Being the first ones that enter the restaurant at 19:40, all the plates were cooked, as Andrea said, “Al momento” so, on the spot. 👌🏼

We started the dinner with a Gewurtztraminer wine 🍷- from North of Italy 🇮🇹 the height regions from Sud Tirol.

Fennel cream langoustine and baby squid 🦑 - a delicate starter, full of flavor from the fennel, fresh and elegant. Delicacy from the fennel pureee in contrast with the texture of the squid and the shrimp 🦐

Cuttlefish with artichokes parsley and olive oil - warm delicious starter, I would say is suitable for a main dish, that delicious it is.

Spaghetto al peperone dolce d'Abruzzo "Pastificio Masciarelli* aglio, olio e scampi 🍤 - al dente, perfect

Tagliata di tonno alla griglia - a simple dish, but VERY TASTY!

Baccalà cotto a bassa temperatura su crema di patate allo zafferano - was very salty for my taste, I asked to take it back, they were very polite, no remorses! I admired the attitude of Andrea! In place of the Bacalau I asked the tuna that was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

Thank you, LEVINO...

I had the extreme pleasure to have lunch at Levino Milano restaurant a few days ago. From the moment I entered the restaurant, which is beautifully decorated and welcoming, I was made to feel at home by the owner Levino, his son Andrea and his wife Sandra. Their expertise and experience in the restaurant business was evident from the first interaction with them. Levino seemed to have a second sense on what he thought you would enjoy eating and offered very enticing options. Andrea was ready to offer accompanying wines and was as cordial and friendly as his father. Sandra, the chef prepared an excellent Primo, Pasta alle Vongole, which was absolutely superb as well as a warm fresh mixed fish salad served with an extra virgin olive oil which rendered the dish succulent. I would highly recommend this restaurant when you...
