San Lorenzo Osteria Bistrot — Restaurant in Milan

We returned to this restaurant as we visited as a couple in February and loved it.

We brought the kids with us this time to Italy, and had a day in Milan and promised the kids ‘the best lasagne’ … so the pressure was on!

We had a few beers (pints of Menabrau light) and the kids had Coke Zero, and we ordered the chip-like potatoes as we weren’t going to eat until later. We wolfed those down! We sat outside and were watching the world go by, and realised we were getting very hungry, and so moved over to the outside restaurant area for the main meal.

We started with a cheese and ham board to share , it came with breads and oil - all delicious, infact we had to ask the boss what one cheese was as it was so nice - it was a sheeps milks ‘Toma’ cheese that was aged in chestnut leaves. It was amazing!

We wanted some wine and didn’t quite know where to begin, the very helpful owner helped us and we had a fantastic red ‘TALO San Marzano’, which was a dry and string flavoured fantastic wine.

My wife and both kids ordered lasagne… and all 3 agreed - it was the best lasagne they’d ever had. (I tried it - it was tremendous!). I ordered a bolognaise (same as last time) - again - really excellent!

I ordered crème Brûlée and my son ordered a kind of apple pie with ice cream - both were demolished.

We loved it here, both times, and hope to return next time we...

My experience was far from satisfactory. The food quality was alarmingly poor, and I feel compelled to share my concerns for the benefit of future customers and the establishment's management. The most concerning part of the meal was the distinct off taste, hinting that they might not have been stored or handled properly. This raises serious concerns about food safety and hygiene standards. As a customer, I expect that the food served to me is not only tasty but also safe to eat. I strongly urge the owners to take immediate steps to address these issues. Ensuring that ingredients are fresh, properly stored, and cooked to the appropriate standards is essential. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements to improve the quality of the...

I like the place for the view and the design as it is next to a nice piece of architecture that It is a must see in Milan. We had a few drinks and a small plateau with calzones (yet now reading the reviews a realized we didn’t really need the bread but it came in handy) The staff was nice and respectful yet I give 3 stars because they calculated our receipt with 10€ more than we actually had and I realized by mistake that this was not my check so be aware of the amount you pay, check the receipt twice and...
