We popped in late afternoon and they were quite busy. They quickly seated us and we each ordered a primi and a secondi. The food arrived quickly. The veal with tuna was unique. I was expecting thicker pieces of veal. Overall, a nice appetizer. The chicken bites were way more substantial and each bite of chicken, eggplant and tomato really held its own in the dish. The pastas were each made so well and we were blown away. The seafood sauce with shrimp and squid ink pasta was out of this world and my SO's pasta topped with bacon was phenomenol. This is a must visit when you are in Milan. Better yet, your stomach and wallet are both happy after this meal.

This restaurant is a quiet oasis on a side street in Milan (our hotel clerk had never heard of…read moreit!). It was warm, so we were able to eat in the atmospheric vine -covered courtyard. We were looking for good Milanese food and found it here. There was no molecular gastronomy or deconstructed dishes- just great food in a great setting. The staff were lovely and attentive. We were started off with a complimentary glass of prosecco. We shared an order of the salame with fried cheese to start. It was excellent. We split two pastas- the spaghetti with pesto sauce and the excellent rigatoni with eggplant and cheese. We loved our main courses. My buddy and I enjoyed our veal Milanese (which is served without salad on top in Milan, more like Italian wiener schnitzel or tonkatsu). Our wives had the branzino baked in potatoes, which they loved. We split a very nice bottle of vino nobile di Montepulciano for E 30, which was reasonable. Overall, this was exactly the kind of meal we were looking for, in an excellent setting.

Sono venuta qui su consiglio della proprietaria del B&B in cui alloggio. Mi ha detto che avrei…read moreavuto un buon servizio se avessi fatto il suo nome. Ora credo che tutti meritino lo stesso servizio e non ho bisogno di un vantaggio. Il primo, la pasta, era deliziosa, il vino della casa buono, ma il secondo, la griglia mista, era un pasticcio. Il calamaro è stato grigliato troppo a lungo ed era duro, il tonno (credo) era anche troppo cotto, le cozze già fredde. Ma comunque, potrebbe essere solo una mia impressione e non conta molto nella mia valutazione (che, tra l'altro, non è poi così male). Tuttavia, mentre stavo mangiando l'ultimo boccone, ho visto il proprietario conferire con il mio ospite. È chiaro che volevano liberare il tavolo in fretta e come una cavalletta hanno portato via il mio piatto, mi hanno chiesto se volevo qualcos'altro e nel giro di due minuti il caffè e il liquore erano davanti a me insieme al conto, non richiesto. Allora si butta via tutto in un sorso e si entra in casa con il conto e i soldi. Era chiaro che il reddito è importante, ma dato che non sono un cliente abituale e che ero da solo, hanno considerato la buona ospitalità di secondaria importanza. Ho detto chiaramente che ero arrabbiata, ma ho lasciato perdere, gli altri clienti avrebbero potuto notarlo, ma non volevo rovinare loro la serata. A quanto pare, questo è un ristorante solo se si è con un gruppo più numeroso o se si hanno conoscenze. Non andate se non fate parte di una delle due associazioni e se avete delle conoscenze, usatele (anche se mi chiedo se dovreste volerlo fare). Tra l'altro, un giovane cameriere (ben) gentile è venuto a cercarmi perché avevo dimenticato una borsa nella fretta. Ce ne vorrebbero altri come lui e il proprietario dovrebbe andare in pensione: non è adatto all'attività di ristorazione. *** I came here on the advice of the owner of the B&B where I am staying. She said that I would get good service if I dropped her name. Now I believe that everyone deserves the same service and I don't need an edge. Il primo, the pasta, was delicious, the house wine good, but the secundo, griglia misto, was a mix. The squid was grilled too long and was tough, the tuna (I think) was also overcooked, mussels already cold. But anyway, that could be just me and doesn't count for much in my evaluation (which, by the way, could have been worse). However, while taking my last bite, I saw the owner conferring with my host. They clearly wanted to clear this table quickly and like a grasshopper they took away my plate, asked me if I wanted anything else and within two minutes the coffee and liquor were in front of me together with, unsolicited, the bill. Well, then you just throw everything back in one gulp and go inside with bill and money. It was clear that income is important, but since I am not a returning customer and I was alone, they considered good hospitality of no importance. I made it clear that I was angry, but I left it at a glance, other customers may have noticed, but I didn't want to ruin their evening. Apparently, this is only a restaurant if you are with a larger group or you have connections. Don't go if you don't belong to one of the two and if you have connections, use them (although I wonder if you should want to). By the way, a (well) friendly young waiter came after me because I had forgotten a bag in the rush. More like him are needed there and the owner should retire: he is not suitable for the catering business.

It's also across from a very active open market on Saturdays. The pasta and potato chips are homemade and excellent. Had a tagliatelle with white truffle shavings but the truffle was rather tasteless so considering the expense, I would pass on this in future. Followed with a traditional carpaccio on arugula with shavings of aged cheese. This was good but I would steer rather towards the seafood next time which looked great, except perhaps the lobster which I know is flown in daily from New York (a large shipment was on my outgoing flight) and has to have suffered some stress. They also attire the hapless lobster diner in a bib that looks like a clown's tuxedo. Had to indulge in the gelati (strawberry and chocolate) for dessert. The service is fabulous, as one starts to come to expect from most good Italian restaurants and extremely friendly. Just when you wave the white flag, they surprise you with complimentary biscotti and limoncello, so diabetics beware and be forewarned.
