Rita & Antonio — Restaurant in Milan

After having many disappointments of restaurants in Milan, we finally found a nice local italian restaurant. This was our last restaurant before we left Italy and we hoped and prayed that this restaurant was a jackpot. And our prayers were heard. This is in our opinion, the best restaurant we had so far in Milan. The atmosphere, food, service AND price were good. The price was REALLY affordable, compared to the ridiculous prices we had to pay in QUALITATIVE BAD RESTAURANTS near places like Duomo. We didn't had to wait long for our food (I had risotto. My bf had a pizza. As dessert we had a homemade tiramisu). It was really quick. The people working there were really nice too. Having a chitchat with us etc. We are satisfied with this restaurant. Want to give props to the 2 young men who were super nice! Definetly recommend this restaurant!

Went here after watching Mark Wiens video. We were a little skeptical because of the ratings, but most reviews only seemed to have a problem with “rushed service” and not the food itself.

This ended up being my favourite meal in Milan! Went right at opening and the place wasn’t too busy and we were sat right away. Our server was very friendly and spoke English well. He was super attentive (ex: he noticed we ran out of ketchup and brought us a packet without us asking)!

Food: we got the tagliatelle with pomodoro, the elephant ear, a mixed salad, a side of chips and the house wine. All were excellent and the perfect size. There were several vegetarian options as the menu was pretty big for Milan.

Im not sure why the reviews aren’t higher but would highly recommend for a more traditional...
