Plates (read food portions) shrunken during the years. 👎

Family owned restaurant, famouse for Mussolini quotes on the walls. Restaurant used to be famous for big food portions. It seems that their plates have shrunked during the years. I've been visiting this restaurant since 2016 and can say that the service and quality degradated over time.

They used to serve fresh pasta (like 2-3 ravioli) while you are waiting your dish, fresh bread, generous portions of pasta and Cottoleta milanese in big plates.

This summer I went for a lunch with a friend who speaks just English and for convenience for the first time we spoke english instead of italian with stuff. As a result we didn't get fresh pasta before our main dish (that used to be served before, like 2-3 ravioli for welcoming guests), the bread was stale, we had to ask for fresh bread, oil, salt and pepper on table.

Pasta al ragu was average, but the portion was far away from those generouse portions that I remember from before.

Cotoletta Milanese was super thin and dry. Disappointing experience.

I tend to ignore recensions that argue how some restaurants are treating bettere locals than foreingers. But in my case eather it was preceisly that or they substituted their business model of big portions of fresh and delicious food with avarage portions and below avarage food. Prices remained the same. Reservation is still required. After this disappointment, we won’t be coming back to this restaurant.
