Spadari Restaurant — Restaurant in Milan

More than just a coffee-shop, quite good restaurant as well just steps away from the central Via Orefici. Its open space is really nice and a real plus in choosing this place! Looks like a place - not just for tourists. Found many locals dining there.

I went to speak to the manager, an ill-tempered man who claimed it was made fresh every morning (him in Italian, me In English). I told him it was the worst meal of my life, he took 5 euro off the bill. This place should...
