Maison Milano — Restaurant in Milan

I'll start off by saying that I really enjoyed the vibe here and found the staff to be very friendly. They were also accommodating to my wife's nut allergy. We came on a night where they performed their circus show and the performers were wildly talented and entertaining! It was so much fun.

Now allow me to nitpick some things:

The menu needs some refinement. First off, the menu lists allergens present in certain foods. However they have a "puntarelle salad" as an appetizer which clearly states it has "pecan nuts" in it. However, when listing the allergens, they don't list that nuts are present in the dish when they very clearly are.

In addition, I ordered veal with rosemary potatoes. The veal came out wrapped in bacon. Nowhere on the menu does it state the dish contains bacon. I know most people love bacon wrapped anything but I hate bacon. Bacon is not a subtle ingredient and if a dish contains bacon, it should definitely say so on the menu. That's just two dishes that I noticed on the menu that need some work. Who knows what else there is. So it may be worth double checking with your server all the ingredients in a dish before ordering, especially if you are a picky eater or have allergies.

Though I ordered veal with potatoes, when my dish first came out it was veal with some sort of greens. No potatoes. So I had to send the dish back and wait for a new one with the correct side.

Though I found the circus act to be very entertaining and the performers to be insanely talented, the show had awkward pacing. The performers would come out for a 5-8 minute performance, and then take a 10-15 minute break and come out again. I believe they had three or four different spurts of entertainment. In-between acts, the lights came back on and it was just ambient music -- basically the same atmosphere as before the show started. I found this to be odd and it took away from the enjoyment of the show. I understand these acts require a lot of physical strength in addition to costume and scene changes but they would really benefit from bringing in an additional singer or an instrumentalist or something to pass the time between acts rather than have the show just come to a sudden halt. I didn't like the stop and start aspect of the show. I wish they had something else in-between to keep the flow going.

I had to be at the airport at 6am the next morning so I left as the restaurant turned into the dance club but I was there for a little bit of it and it seemed like a cool and fun vibe. If I didn't have that early flight out, I would have stayed longer.

But glad I made the visit here from NY and I would definitely go back here if I am in Milan again...

We generally had a very nice time! It seems like this restaurant is a hotspot for Bachelor/ bachelorette which makes it fun for people visiting for similar reasons. The food was nice, the show was great as well. We would have liked if the show was a bit longer and covered more songs (as on the website it is stating that they will cover songs from the rolling stones to Maneskin) maybe they should change that. Last thing is that, only the manager in this establishment speaks English which can be a bit inconvenient for international visitors but its a good way to practice your Italian. Generally we...

A great show experience. The atmosphere was spectacular and it was beautiful witnessing how everyone was having fun in its own way. The food was good and the waiters very kind. I couldn’t eat the first dish because of my personal taste and they made sure that I was satisfied with another one. Water was unlimited and included in the price. Good desserts. And the music reminded me of old times of family gatherings where everyone would dance and sing freely. I will surely come back. Congrats to the singer and very talented...
