SlowSud Isola — Restaurant in Milan

Really wanted to like the restaurant. We arrived around 7:35 PM and they had our table ready as we booked before hand.

We had the choice between normal table with chairs or the swing table for two.

We were greated with tomatoes and oil and crusty bread so we could make kind of bruschetta. Basilico would have been a great addition however it was missing.

Then came the waitress and we ordered the parmigiana which was to oily and greasy too my taste with little tomato sauce and no mozarella or parmigiano. Then one white orecchiette pasta whicn had no taste of anchovies whatsoever and the pasta calamarata.

Both were served really fast and we said it's impossible, they must have it ready already because they were served almost cold.

We weren't offered the complementary basilico digestive and left with mixed feelings.

The eggplant was also very average, nothing spectacular. I had high expectations of this place based on all the amazing reviews but it definitely fell short and overall, the food was...
