Hateful experience. How to sum up? We waited for 20 minutes before a waiter deigned to seat us, all with a bad mood and a more than apparent disdain. Trying to enjoy our evening, we concentrate on the meal to come. Hungry after a 30 minute wait, we settle on bread... Hard as crackers. I ask for some fresh bread and they scornfully and annoyingly bring me back another basket... Again... We wait. I order "carbonara on our way" ...And then I get... A plate of pasta! see picture Annoyed by the reception and to finish this tourist trap, I ask to speak to the owner. He starts shouting at me, asks me where I come from and answers that "I'm from Paris and don't know anything about pasta". I explain that for 15 euros, pasta is expensive and he shows me that "on our way" means pate carbo without pancetta... He speaks to me very badly and aggressively, I've never seen that before! I ask to pay for my wine to leave... He comes back sheepishly telling me that "the menu had been badly translated" it's not carbonara... He offered us the wine... But that didn't change the disappointment and his aggressiveness. In short, I strongly advise against it!

We shared the tempura-fried courgette flowers (filled with ricotta) starter, which was delicious and then I had the amazingly tender and tasty goose leg main course. The staff could not have been more helpful and were perfectly attentive (not bothering us unnecessarily but always there when needed).
We liked it so much we returned the following night and were shown to a table immediately we walked up, as if they'd been expecting us. The staff remembered us and what we'd had the previous night and recommended a very good wine. That time I'd decided I wanted to try dessert, so I skipped the starters and had a veal cutlet Milanese main course and then the "crostata scomposta con frutti di bosco" (layered dessert with forest fruit, custard and shortbread),...

No rush customers as they really take time to serve you exceptionally good food Milanese food. Very chill to have dinner. Jonathan Jesus serves us and did a great job.
The octopus starter is really soft and tender. I have never had such a good octopus like this before. Must try if you could. Risotto milanese style is cheesey and I prefer to eat it when it's still warm and hot. Cold risotto doesn't taste good to me. Pasta Paccheri seafood is good too if you are into seafood. This is suitable for someone doesn't want to have...
