I visited for the aperitivo experience that I heard about from a trusted source. Compared to other aperitivo options out there, this was like a royal buffet. Honestly, there were too many options to try everything in one visit... but every dish I sampled was truly spectacular. I'll definitely be back to try the rest! There are indoor and outdoor seating options. Regardless of what you pick, you'll be dazzled by the attentive surface, delightful presentation, and upscale atmosphere. Definitely worth a few hours of your afternoon while you're in Milano!

This review is coming in a bit late, but I didn't have a very pleasant experience at this shop. I…read moregot the worst possible table (near the toilet) as I went in alone. There were actually only a couple of sofas at the entrance, so I'm not sure why it's called "sofa" cafe. The cafe itself is so cramped, it could be organized better in my opinion. As I was sitting at my table, pretty much every person who came into the shop seemed to want to use the toilet, so the line was very long and I kept bumping into each person. As for the coffee and pastry I ordered, it was just about ok, nothing special. The service was also very slow. I wouldn't recommend this place especially if you're going in alone and want to spend some time working or to read a book.

Great location- along a bustling street full of other bars and restaurants…read more Cocktails were above average. I'm quite fussy with my drinks and I must admit they were pretty well made! Not the best in the world but certainly better than the average. I would highly recommend the Moscow Donkey for a warm summers day as it was very refreshing! The only thing I would mention is the service was pretty poor. It took us about 10-15minutes to get our orders taken, and then we had to wait at least another 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive. If you're not in any rush (like us) then it's perfectly fine, but I would imagine it being quite annoying if you had somewhere to be afterwards. Overall it was above average drinks, below average service and a great relaxed ambience.

The interior location was very nice and you get to watch the bartender as he mixes drinks. We ordered the margarita pizza. My daughter said, " this crust is really good". We also ordered the Osso Buco because of other recommendations here on yelp. It was so delicious. The risotto was creamy and yummy and the lamb was falling off the bone. So good! My son ordered the carbonara. It was so creamy and the bacon inside is so delicious. The bruschetta .... Ahhhh!!!! That was to die for. The toast was so crunchy and the tomatoes tasted so good. I'm still thinking about it! I highly recommend eating here if you're ever in Milan

OH MY GOD SO MUCH FREE (kinda) FOOD…read more I love the Italian (and Spanish) custom of getting a drink and getting a bunch of food in return. I got a glass of the driest white for 7 euros- which was very good- and then the nonstop eating began. Geez, where do I start?! Delicious cheesy dough balls, crisps, brie slices, celery and carrot sticks, couscous, pearl barley mixed with diced veggies, tater tots, mini spinach frittatas, oily padron peppers, etc tc. The food just seriously did not stop coming! It's a very popular and buzzy place. You may have to wait a bit to order a drink but for all this food (!!!), it's worth it.

My friends and I decided to eat here to have apertivo right when they opened. It was a bit…read moreconfusing since they thought we were their to eat off of their dinner menu, but it all got sorted out and we were able to order drinks and eat from their food bar. I ordered their aperol cocktail drink which I never had before and it ended but being a bad choice for my taste. The food was decent, but I wished the options were larger. They had mini sandwiches, cured meats, cheese, flat bread, and fruits. The restaurant gave me this hipster feel being themed after a bicycle and having some pretty hipster-ish decor. But it also had a bar vibe to it as well with dim lighting and such.

We visited Osteria Via Pré after it was suggested to us by our host in Milano as one of the finest…read morerestaurants in the area. Even though we were pretty late (around 10pm when the Osteria is originally scheduled to close) we were kindly greeted and served. The restaurant is situated in a lovely street that branches right off Porta Genova. The street is filled with small restaurants and cafés and was teeming with people at the time. Also, there's the river promenade at Naviglio Grande just a mere couple 100 metres away. Osteria Via Pré itself fits right in there because it is a small, cozy restaurant with only a couple of tables and a bar inside, while most of its chairs and tables are located outside, facing the street. We had a very attentive, nice waiter who conversed with us in Italian, English and German and generally gave us the feeling that he was there for us whenever we wanted something. For appetizers we shared a Foccaccia which was filled with molten cheese. Absolutely delicious though the serving was a little small for two people. In any event, I think it's a positive thing that the appetizer actually left us craving more (food). For the main course both of us ate Lasagne alla Genovese. Frankly, I've never had Lasagne with pesto this green and refreshing. As far as pestos go, this one was absolutely amazing. Rich with herbal aromas, not to oily but just the perfect consistency. The lasagne was housemade and also perfectly al dente. The housewine we had (red one) was to our liking though by no means spectacular. Even after we had finished, the waiter kept an eye on us and our needs, served us a free bottle of water and chatted with us about this and that. In this regard, the mediterranean kind of mentality and atmosphere were really carried across positively. In terms of prices, Osteria Via Pré falls right into the Milano standard. Good restaurants in nice locations like this always demand prices like this in Milano, so I think if you're in Milano and you want to have a good meal, it's not reasonable to skip this one. It's as pricy as most others, offers great food, service and the location is probably more lovely and romantic than most of the crammed city center.
