San Pietro Cafè — Restaurant in Milan

Surrounded by greenery for a pleasant dinner. An unusual location in the Milanese landscape. We are located a few steps from Porta Venezia, one of the areas of the city with a wide choice of restaurants and bars. The location is both on the main Corso Buenos Aires and in the beautiful pedestrianized Via Spallanzani. We chose to dine outside under a real green "forest", surrounded by green plants in a romantic and modern atmosphere. The mise en place is a little too simple for the place, but if this helps to combat the high prices, Im 100% agree. The service was amazing! In particular, one of the waitresses helped me choose the one I would have preferred among the wines ... (she should happen to you, she is a very nice Iranian girl). Initially I had asked for a sparkling white wine (Prosecco) and they suggested a Brut San Pietro VSQ (a sparkling white wine with Cortese Chardonnay grapes), but for my tastes I found it a bit too sweet (sweet), so the waitress he suggested a still white wine with Cortese grapes: Gavi "Etichetta Nera" San Pietro DOCG (good!). To start we had a plate of cold cuts and cheeses (it was accompanied by red fruits and flowers). As a main course, the choice ended up on the sea bass with vegetables. My guest then let herself be enticed by the dessert. Average count. Very nice and satisfying evening. I...

Cappuccino was ok but the apple cake was a major disappointment. Basically it was a cake with the taste of apple as an actual apple pie. Unfortunately the cafe was at the center of a theft. My entire bag which had my passports was stolen in front of patrons and staff members and apparently nobody saw a thing. The cafe concierge did the absolute minimal as if this is a regular thing that happen. First they just looked confused when I reported my stolen bag. Then proceeded to talk to themselves and after a whopping amount kf 20 minutes, someone else asked us what happened (again) and we said the same thing. No manager came to us, no action, no call to the police. You had to ask them questions: do you have a camera here? Did you see anyone coming in? Did you call the police? And so on. Just puzzled faces as if the theft was an annoyance to them. To their credit, they did not let us pay for the coffee break and the gentleman who accompanied us to the police station was polite and gracious. But guys, common, do you really want your customers to lose bags and wallets where they are dining in your property? NOT. A. GOOD....

First coffee in Milan and worst I’ve ever had in whole of Italy. Waited on terrace for 10 minutes - no one served me, saw people in line inside so I walked in to order myself at the bar. The bartender came to me and I asked for 2 cappuccinos and two bottles of water. While I waited another waiter approached me and asked me will I sit and I said of course if you’ll bring the drinks I’ll sit, but then he asked the other bartender in Italian to confirm and the bartender said I ordered for outside and therefore I can’t sit inside. First: he never once asked do I want it for out or inside while ordering, secondly even when I explained I was never asked and I want to sit inside he showed me the wall outside and told me to sit there. While 90% of the caffe was COMPLETELY empty. Outside on the wall. Nice politeness and owning up for their...
