Osteria Cornalia — Restaurant in Milan

I visited this restaurant two weeks ago, inspired by the reviews which were all virtually 5 stars. But in my experience, the 4.9 stars on Google are very misleading, as our dinner was subpar. The restaurant was almost empty, despite being a Saturday evening, which made the atmosphere quite unappealing.

I hope that the restaurant can steer the course, so that it can be met...

Interestingly, we were going to order more food, but the waiter told us to hold off because the portions were large.

You can see their passion for the dishes they serve and their desire to make the meal an enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. Will be going back to try the...
