I must say, the meal we had there lived up to our expectations and then some more.
I had always wanted to try tartare, and I believe this restaurant is the right place for it! The tartare tastes fresh and tender. It has a very clean taste and nothing out of place. The bean sprouts on top of it adds a layer of freshness and some crispy and juicy texture to the taste. I am not sure what the White sauce is made of, but it has a light sour and milky taste, but definitely not greasy or heavy. We also tried the tartare with some olive oil, it adds a very subtle nutty flavor to the tartare. The coarse salt is a perfect match for the tartare for its crunchy texture.
The mushroom with truffle is also very interesting. The mushroom was cooked to the point that it was so soft and it literally melted in our mouth. The truffle on top had a very distinct aroma. It was nothing like what we usually had.
The main course, which is the T-bone steak, is absolutely amazing. The grilled T-bone steaks are their specialty, and they taste best when they are cooked medium rare. Usually I don't like it when I have a medium rare steak, I cut into the steak and my plate looks like a murder scene. But the T-bone steak they grilled was nothing like that. It perfectly illuminated Maillard reaction: the surface of the steak was fantastically crispy and aromatic. To my surprise, the inside of the steak had a beautiful pink colour, but there was no blood coming out. The steak didn't look like it was heavily seasoned, so we were able to taste the beef itself. It was so nutty and crispy on the outside, meanwhile tender and nice on the inside. It was just incredible.
The wine we had was also wonderful. We couldn't decide between two different bottles, so the manager had us try them both. In the end we chose a stronger one for its smooth texture and fruity aroma. It was fantastic and it was a great match for our steak.
The waiter was very attentive and friendly, but also not too eager. The manager was also very patient and professional. The service they offer made us feel so welcomed and comfortable.
If there is one thing I'm not happy with the experience, it is that the manager did not check with us the size of the steak when we ordered. There are actually two sizes you can choose for your T-bone steak, either 1200g or 1400g. The manager didn't check with us and served us a 1400g steak directly. In the end the T-bone steak cost us over 100 Euros. However, the steak was probably still worth it, because I swear it was the best steak I had had so far in my life.
Fantastic experience. I will be interested to dine at this...

Probably the best steak restaurant I’ve been to in my life so far — and considering all the places I’ve been, that’s saying a lot. Nero 9 truly stands out as a culinary gem. The bone marrow and beef tartare with truffle for starters were absolutely divine — rich, flavorful, and expertly crafted.
For the main event, we chose the impressive 1.4kg Nero cuts, perfectly cooked and paired with a phenomenal wine that elevated the entire experience. Every bite was a testament to the quality and mastery behind the restaurant’s offerings.
What impressed me most, however, was the service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making our evening special. They offered thoughtful recommendations suited to every budget, and they never failed to impress — a true mark of their professionalism and dedication.
Nero 9 is a standout in Milan’s dining scene, combining exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

( we were 3 people ) we ordered for a strater pasta bolognese (it might sound simple but not) which was utterly different from what you are used to. no tomotas nor red sauce and still a magic pasta.than we moved to the big ace of the menu the fillet steak. they sell it by the 100g and they have two types of steaks. it was so good , cooked to perfection and everyone had their way with the steak from rear to mid-well. all these was accompanied with a nice red wine by the glass which turned to be a very nice wine and some potatos which are always irrelevant when you deal with meat. the prices are not very on the steep side but not cheap , but hay , you get high class of meat. the atmosphire in the restaurant is relaxed and very classy , thus , if you want to go for special place of mear in your special day or just to feel specail , just go...
