Osteria Della Carne — Restaurant in Milan

READ THIS IF YOU ARE A TOURIST

Im going to start clearing something out. I l know how Italians are, I come to Italy at least twice a year as I’m a citizen, and I always enjoy their unique personality and heat. Having said that, rudeness is rudeness in any part of the globe.

We arrived to the restaurant around 20:30, there were 3 tables with people and around 10/12 empty tables. We ask for a table for 4, and we are asked if we called to make a reservation first. We say we didn’t, surprised with the amount of empty tables. As soon as we pass by, they say something line “the spanish mafia has arrived”, in italian, which I understand unfortunately for them.

Throughout the whole dinner the 2 people that served us were rude, and acted as if they didn’t want us there. They even confused our order and kind of blamed it on us. I ordered some grilled vegetables because they were “out of gnocci” (they only have gnocci, risotto and spaghetti) and after some time they come back with a steak knife. I look at him and tell him “I ordered grilled vegetables” and the waiter just rolled his eyes at me.

When I asked for the check they wanted to take my card to the front, which I wouldn’t allow after such terrible service, so they tell me I have to go myself to pay by card, which is ok and normal. I go with the waiter and once Im there he just stared at me, expecting to tell him how much we were going to pay, as I believe he was longing for some tip. Of course I didn’t tip, I didn’t even order a coffee because I wanted to leave.

About the food: overpriced, very small portions, good quality (the produce is good all over Italy). To be honest, if you want to spend 50 euros on a steak, this is the place to go. But you can get better food, with better prices and better service in...

AVOID!!! They overcharge clients

The bill: We (a family of 3) visited the restaurant and were fraudulently charged for covers and dishes we did not order. 2 extra seating/covers, an extra bottle of water and an extra starter were added to our bill. Unfortunately, I was too tired after a day out to check the bill and paid without going through it, but my wife took the bill with us. The next day we discovered the issue. I have attached the bill to the review. The restaurant was not busy. Only four tables were occupied, so there is no excuse that the extra charges were made in a rushed mistake. Also, when paying the bill, the waiter wanted to take my card to the front of the house. So I had to insist he bring the pedicure machine to the table.

The service: Bad? I would call the service rather farcical. After informing the waiter of our dishes choice he started asking again about our choice. We suggested he write it down. Ordered beer and 3 bottles were brought and opened at our table. No glasses. We asked for glasses and the waiter offered to use the large wine glasses that were already on the table. We insisted on glasses suitable for beer.

The food: The dishes were bland and basic. This kind of food is not justified by the prices.

So, overall it was a...

We came in at 7pm -opening time and was met by a man who looked and sounded like he didn’t want to be there.ordered our entrees with the waiter and then our mains when a grumpy voice from the other side of the room mumbled something to the effect that it was Sunday and no veal and turned around and walked off. I speak Italian and wasn’t sure of what exactly was going on. The waiter left then came back 10 minutes later asking if we had chosen and then said they didn’t have the dish my husband wanted so he chose something else and I ordered gnocchi and was told they had none of that either and I asked what they did have. Eventually got our meal and was asked if we would like bread and when bought to the table it was tossed in its bag. Meal was OK nothing special. AND when asked what beer they had we simply got Italian beer and we had to ask 3 times for a refill. We went up to the register to pay and was simply told the total and when asked for what they got angry and the grumpy man came up and got the bill and tossed it to us. Very rude and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Will be reviewing on trip advisor as well. Great impression of Milan We have travelled a lot and NEVER have been spoke to in...
