Share ristorante Italiano — Restaurant in Zona Omogenea Milano Nord

I had dinner with my friends with a 50% discount through the Fork app.

Ambience: the place was very quiet and cozy, the place is maintained well, the plates and cutlery were great, the chairs could be better though.

Service: We were served by one nice lady who seemed to be serving every table. She was very friendly, accommodating and conversational. We conversed in Italian for the most part but she spoke English whenever it was necessary. I appreciate it.

The menu was made with exceptional effort and it was fun to look through but it was hard to decide, thankfully the nice waitress helped us with the selection. The menu was elaborate, had a lot of vegetarian dishes as well. I am not sure about vegan options. There could be a few more starters.

The waiting time was reasonable, the courses came in appropriate succession. The plates were warmed before placed on the table which I appreciated a lot.

The recipt was quick, elaborate and clear. Our discounts were applied properly and payment was hassle-free.

Food: I had a cold cut platter which came with fried bread pockets. The cuts were of high quality, the bread was fresh. The caprese salad was served with fresh cut plum tomatoes, nice and rich mozzarella with a bed of fine basil dressing.

I had a pizza ortolana, the size was standard, it was great with plenty of fresh, grilled vegetables. The style is close to Roman, the base was soft but firm and the crust was crispy. It was a bit difficult to cut the pizza with the cutlery but it wasn't a big issue for me.

The pasta dishes come in a smaller portion than expected but they were delicious nonetheless. It is perhaps my preference but the salad and the pasta was slightly undersalted, which I didn't mind a lot.

The dessert selection was good. The Tiramisu was recommended, the portion was quite larger than I expected. Loved the delicious Tiramisu, the ladyfinger was not completely soft like a cake and I could appreciate the soaked texture. There was no strong hit of alcohol, which I also appreciated. The coffee was subtle and complementary and not overpowering. Lastly, it was sweetened perfectly. I would absolutely recommend the tiramisu to anyone.

Drinks: The medium beer was larger than average, which was a pleasant surprise.

Tip: the water bottles are of larger volume than expected so consider getting one before...

The manager (I'm assuming) did not have a menu for me to view, not even posted on a wall. I forgot my phone back at the hotel so I couldn't see their online menu. He told me a list of a few things they had (definitely didn't try to help). He was very rude to me. I ordered chicken and salad. The waitress brought me a plain, unseasoned chicken breast and a pile of lettuce (no other vegetables at all). It was the worst meal I have ever been served. I was hungry so I ate some of the chicken. The bread they brought was tough and uneatable. The night before was a completely different story, but I never went back after that...

The service was very good. The food was outstanding. Had a vegetarian pizza and it was the best I had in Italia. I finished the entire pizza. My kids loved the cheesecake and cake. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It is out of the way and has limited hours but luckily we were close to walk by. This restaurant shows pride of ownership. I encourage visitors to Milan to visit this...
