THE STREET BAR — Restaurant in Milan

I don't know how this got good reviews!

My friends and me wanted to spend the time waiting for a connecting train in milano centrale in this cafe to have a small breakfast. We were almost pressured into ordering immediately and ordered a few drinks and pastries. Even though one of us speaks Italian fluently, the communication with the staff was really difficult from the start. We did get our drinks, but most of the food we got was not what we ordered. When we tried to figure out the miscommunication we were immediately alleged of having ordered different things.

I can't recommend this place enough. It will for sure be one of the first things we do, next time we are in Milan. It will be like old family coming for a...

Arrived in Milan for the first time, was with a family of four, it was late and was hungry. They poached us walking by. They give us a quick glimpse of the menu and then made their own recommendation, we went along with it. Three dishes of chicken and vegetables, one margarita pizza, bruschetta, salad, two small water bottles, 1 beer and one processco. We were charged over 250 euros, we were shocked but still paid. After we paid the waiter still had the cheek to come over and demand aggressively for a tip which we felt compelled to pay. Explore the area thoroughly as within a few metres in each direction there are more genuine places to eat. Beware don’t get ripped off. I wouldn’t recommend this to...
