Read moreOur hotel concierge reserved this place for us. The Cotoletta alla Milanese was great. I mean, it's really hard to mess up deep fried breaded proteins right? The appetizer meatball itself was very under seasoned.
The dinner progressed in a spooky atmosphere. We sat close to the entrance so we witnesswd every group coming in. During our ~1hr dinner, there were 8 groups of guests, all English speaking, served by 3 Asian staff members. It's definitely not this restaurant's fault as they have no control who the patrons are. The experience just kept reminding myself being a tourist in a touristy area.
Edit in response to the owner: It's great you are open to everyone, including me. Being an Asian myself I have no motive discriminating against Asians. I literally just stated my observation. Sorry if that hurt your feeling. Although the service staff was definitely overwhelmed tonight - they could be more attentive. E.g. they offered coat check for some guests coming in later but not the others, who qualifies for a coat check? Also it took quite an effort to even get an eye contact from the service staff. Unfortunately I had to lower this rating to one star due to this combative owner's false allegations of discrimination and disputed charge. I honored my payment and had no intention...

Nice added touches: very friendly staff, charming waiter who took the time to speak to us in French even though he is Italian, nice small breads on the side with some good vinegar and oil.
Truffle and Parmesan risotto: very good flavors and consistency, rice was a tiny bit undercooked but it was still very good. The truffle portion on top was generous and the Parmesan flavor was nicely balanced.
Milanese veal chop: perfectly cooked , nice amount of breadcrumbs, good fresh small green salad to go with it (the only side served with it).
Osso-buco and Milanese risotto : first time trying Milanese risotto did not disappoint, very good flavors (not too overpowering with the saffron) and a nice extra taste with the sauce from the osso-buco. The osso-buco was extremely tender and cooked perfectly.
Truffle and Parmesan fries: small amount of truffle and Parmesan on unseasoned fries that felt like they were store bought frozen. Unfortunate, wouldn’t recommend odering it.
Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch and felt that despite the fries, every dish was extremely tasty and the service could not have been better or more attentive. Not cheap but would highly recommend it if you want to have some proper...
