miscusi | pasta fresca - Milano Centrale — Restaurant in Milan

Miscusi at Milano Centrale offers a convenient dining experience for travelers, with its fully customizable pasta options that include vegan-friendly choices. While the concept is modern and tech-driven, the execution left something to be desired during my visit.

Ordering is entirely self-service via a QR code on the table, allowing you to customize your meal and pay through the app without interacting with staff. While efficient, this process felt impersonal and devoid of the warmth and hospitality you’d expect in an Italian dining experience. It also left me wondering how they keep track of whether diners have paid, as the busy atmosphere seemed chaotic, with little oversight.

I opted for a vegan pasta dish, customizing it with a few toppings. The food itself was decent, but it lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. While the mushrooms were plentiful and well-cooked, other toppings, like olives and tomatoes, were meager, especially given their steep price—€4 for what amounted to a spoonful. The portion size of the pasta was adequate, but the overall dish felt uninspired and not worth the extra cost.

While Miscusi’s tech-forward system might appeal to those in a rush or looking for convenience, the lack of personal interaction and the underwhelming flavor left me feeling unsatisfied. It’s a functional option if you need a quick vegan meal near Milano Centrale, but there are better places to enjoy a flavorful plant-based Italian meal elsewhere...

Let me tell you about my experience.

Sure, I was out and about in the sun walking around the city, I see this little place, the name intrigues me "miscusi" in italian "Excuse me" So I decide to go in.

Best choice of my life, I'm not exaggerating, the place is not as small as it seemed, I meet this waitress maybe Filipino, I ask her if I can have a table.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting it but they had a free table, I sat down and read the menu.

I don't gonna lie, the dishes looked inviting and after reading I decided to order, look I won't tell you, the speed, the taste, the atmosphere, the kindness and the music of this restaurant are unique. The music is relaxing and pleasant even in the bathroom.

Look at the photos, they speak for themselves.

--Merits-- • Extremely relaxing and pleasant music • Kind and polite service • Extremely fast service • Very rich and good food, delicious I dare say • YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR FOOD 100% • Neat and clean place • Easy and intuitive ordering • Affordable price • Precise in doing everything • They don't know what waiting times are (so fast) • They speak multiple languages fluently • And much much more

--Defects-- • Website could be more intuitive maybe with hidden options • Some of the furnishings seem dull • It only happened to me once, but I found 3 hairs inside my food. (Don't...

I visited Miscusi after seeing some reviews on Tiktok which praised the establishment. However, it was far from a good standard. We were seated in possibly the worst seats available in the restaurant, those facing the toilet and blocked off by the wall. The drinks arrived quickly however thats was the only thing which was made promptly on the night. The first pasta arrived and it was okay, made how it should have been and took around 25minutes - and it was missing the extra bread which was ordered. 15 minutes later, we are told by staff that the other pasta is delayed due to one ingredient not being available thus offering us alternatives stating “it is the same as you ordered but with pepper” - it in fact was not. The pasta arrived another 20 minutes later with mushrooms - which were not ordered, we were then told “you can take it or we can make it again” - at this point we took it due to the time already spent there. We left the food unfinished and unsatisfied, no sort of discount or pleasantries were offered even though the order took time, food was missing and food...
