Milan Dining Guide: Authentic Italian Gems! 🍝✨

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mamma Rosa Osteria in Milan, and I must say it was a delightful experience. This charming restaurant offers excellent service and serves up some of the most authentic Italian cuisine I've had outside of Italy. One of the highlights of my visit was the crab pasta. It was simply divine! The pasta was cooked to perfection and had a strong and tantalizing crab flavor. Every bite was a burst of seafood goodness, and the dish was generously loaded with succulent crab meat. If you're a seafood pasta lover like me, this place is an absolute haven. What sets Mamma Rosa Osteria apart from other restaurants in Milan is its lack of tourist crowds. It's a hidden gem that seems to be cherished mostly by locals, giving it an authentic and cozy atmosphere. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. Aside from the outstanding crab pasta, the menu offers a wide range of authentic Italian dishes that will satisfy even the most discerning palates. Whether you're craving traditional pasta, mouthwatering risotto, or delectable seafood, Mamma Rosa Osteria has something to please every taste. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with cozy seating and a charming decor that adds to the overall experience. It's the perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner or gather with friends and family. From start to finish, my dining experience at Mamma Rosa Osteria was exceptional. The combination of great service, authentic Italian cuisine, and the focus on seafood pasta makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fine dining and is looking for a true taste of Italy in Milan. I highly recommend Mamma Rosa Osteria and can't wait to return to indulge in more of their delectable dishes. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

We were looking for a nice place on august 19 to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, but either everything was closed or fully booked and Osteria Mamma Rosa was one of the few olaces that still had open spots and we were able to reserve a table through Google. Honestly, we didn't know what to expect - the ratings were good, but the pictures didn't do any justice for this place. It was quite fancy and absolutely amazing!!! A perfect place to celebrate birthday! From the second we stepped out feet into the restaurant we were greeted with the biggest hospitality ever. We were greeted at the door by the reception, then we were seated at our table downstairs. Our server Sujee was 10 out of 10, very attentive, super kind and fun, but also very polite. We ordered the prawn tartare and the avocado shrimp as appetizers, also got a plate of oysters, then we went for the lobster catalana salad (which was..oh gosh..amazing!!! The tomatoes, the sauce... Truly delightful) and the deep-fried seafood mix. Every single meal we ordered was literally perfect. For dessert we had the cannoli and raspberry tartlette (I'm sure I'm mispronouncing both) and they were a lovely finish to our meal. Sujee was very nice and offered us a very smooth digestivo, pouring an extra glass out of kindness. Ahh, if I could go back in the near future, I would! What an experience, what a place! If you are looking for some really nice fine dining with excellent customer care, this is the place to go. Thanks for the whole team for their amazing work! And they didn't even know we were celebrating, they're just this nice and kind by default :)

Happy to find this place open before the normal “7pm opening time” found in many parts of Italy. Made a booking, it’s necessary as this place is popular. Nobody was at the entrance to greet us, there was a man busy doing something with the cash till, so busy he didn’t once look up and welcome us. Another member of staff came and took us to our seat Majority of diners were not Italian, funny because an Italian colleague recommended this place For some reason the waiters chose our table to be the corridor where they would pass through to reach other tables, twice kicking the girls chair without an apology and then one waiter knocked her bag hanging from the chair - this time an apology and they came back with a bag hook to fix to the table. Waiters were quite rude actually, if walking to bathroom for example then they would not let you pass first, out of courtesy. Also twice they tried to take plate before we’d finished eating Food was hit and miss - muscles were too big a portion as a starter and came in a horrible tasting soup. Not sure what I was supposed to do with the bread that came with it, I tried to dip in the soup but the taste was awful. Pumpkin soup was delicious. Salmon with honey, almonds and pickle DID NOT work as a combination, and the salmon was VERY DRY. Black risotto was good. Desserts were good too - crème caramel and panna cotta Prices were HIGH, way to high for the quality of food offered, and much higher than most restaurants in Milano Decor was nice, recently refurbished if I’m not mistaken. Lovely wall paintings of Italian famous places. Outside is a building site with major reconstruction of the square happening until end of 2024 What was disappointing was waiter asking for a tip at the end of the meal. This is definitely NOT. normal for Italy. I was a little offended and I answered that we are living here, we are not tourists, that this is NEVER asked of diners It’s clear that this restaurant is aimed at the tourist, with high prices, low quality food, low quality service….and expecting a tip!! Won’t be back. Not recommended

Managed to get a reservation at 5pm on a Friday evening. Ordered the tasting menu (gente di mare) at 55eur/pax. Our first impression of their service was really bad when the waiter shoved the hors d’oeuvres right on our plate and left without even saying anything. 🤷🏻♀️ (there were only 3 other tables filled at the moment, and we noticed how the other tables subsequently were treated as well. At least a small description was given for them while us, nada 😑) The appetiser (fish carpaccio) was not that memorable. The pasta (prawns and porcini mushrooms) dish was full of umami which was great, a ⭐️ for that then! The main course sea bass had a lot of scales intact which made eating it unbearable. We had to remove the whole layer of skin just to avoid them. We waited forever (> half an hour) for our dessert, it is as though they forgot it. It came all melty anyways so.. hmm food for though there. Also, looking at the portions between my partner and i, they were distinctively different. We came here with great expectations due to the high ratings, but oh wells. Maybe it is just our luck.
