The view and the friendly service deserve at least 3.5-4 stars. The food gets in the way here…read more We started with caprese salad and the meatballs with the green Milanese sauce. Caprese had unripe tomatoes with generous uncut balls of fresh mozz and arugula, not basil. I'd expect this caprese in a mall, not this kind of restaurant. Meatballs were battered and the Milanese sauce was beautifully green but bland. My main was the pork cutlet. Very thin, big and not too greasy. Tasty but underwhelming. Served with some crispy potatoes, plus iceberg lettuce. Meh. Risotto Milanese should have been easy, right? Flavor was very good but the rice was not cooked enough, somewhat crunchy. Not great. Dessert was tiramisu and that was pretty good. Espressos were great. So many restaurants in this area, I'd skip this one.

The menu of crepes here is extensive- from savory sandwich-like crepes to a plethora of sweet crepes, this Creperia will satisfy any crepe lover! They must have a hundred crepes on the menu. The selection of sweet crepes ranges from a lot of different fruit varieties like kiwi or berries, to combinations with all kinds of creams, custards, and chocolate fillings. I am also impressed with the drink menu. There are a couple pages of cocktails, plus a beer and wine selection. The cocktails are WORTH IT. I got an Irish whiskey and it was so gorgeous! The bar is also very cool; they've got a lot of character with the way they've decorated this place. I highly recommend this creperia for a drink and a snack. Close to Quadrilatero d'Oro too!

This was a small place with limited seats. But they are quick and efficient. * Croissant with ham and cheese was fresh crispy and flaky. It was served room temperature. * Croissant with cream filling was just as good. Fresh is the key. * Croissant with tuna and cheese was ordered on request and they were great to comply. I noticed the croissants we ordered had some flaxseeds on top. * Lattes were fresh and I love the coffees in Milan in general. Overall I would defiantly recommend this place and would come again if I have the chance.

So we were seated and asked for still water. She came back without the water and we ordered dinner and wine. She came back with the wine. But not the water that we REALLY wanted. Eventually the water arrived and we didn't have to ask for it again. I suppose we can't be upset that she prioritized the wine over the water. Sometimes that's appreciated. Cute atmosphere outside but the food lacked pizazz. That being said, we ordered the mushroom risotto because we were dead set on having risotto our first night in Milan. And we thought we ordered the tomato basil pasta. Which came with no basil. That was a bummer. All in all, a mediocre meal with okay service. But definitely not somewhere to write home about.

The food was decent but unremarkable.

There's lots of mosquitoes in the area, we got bit a few times during dinner. We all got the risotto but in different flavours. I got the mushroom risotto, very flavourful. Got the Campari drink as it seems to be the popular choice. They do charge a sit down free and as well as for water. This was probably one of the more expensive meals I've had while visiting Milan.

We were in the area to check out the nearby museum and decided to come for a light breakfast. It is…read morevery chaotic if you come on a weekday morning because there are several offices in the area, with the staff getting their morning espressos and drinks before work. If you are a regular and have it figured out, it seems to work. However, with a language barrier and being the first time here, we needed some time before we could figure out the system. There was no clear menu at the cashier, no staff to ask or a flow to follow. Everyone just seems to mill around and try to catch the attention of the servers behind the bar. If it takes a minute for you to order at the cashier, you get the distinct feeling that you are in the way and holding up the world behind you. Once we finally ordered blindly, the got our items it was a lot more relaxed. There are plenty of small and large tables, providing more than enough seats since everyone was drinking at the counter and leaving. Be forewarned that tea is ALOT more expensive than any coffee based drink. Like multiple times more expensive. Food was okay, it was enough to start the day but nothing spectacular. For the price of the items, I would much rather go somewhere less chaotic.

People have told me many things about God Save The Food…read more They were all mixed reviews. Some liked it, some said it was overrated. Well I just had to try it for myself. Love the entrance because it's automatic. WHOO HOO! The interior is super cute, reminds me of a cafe in New York City. LOVEEEE! It was a little bright thought but then again, I was half awake and in need of coffee. I was a little disappointed in the size of the americano. I thought I would get a HUGE cup of Joe like I would at Tizzy's. I had to order two but that still was not enough, but it was only 1 euro. I tried pancakes because I wanted breakfast even though it was lunch time. I didn't even bother looking at anything else on the menu. It came with two thin pancakes and fruit. I loved the fruit but I wished the pancakes were thicker and fluffier. There was no sitting fee. YAY! My pancakes was 10 euros and each cup of americano was 1 euro. So it was a well spent 12 euros. Service is excellent, the place is clean and very modern. I will come again to try the other food and do a review update till then you should totally give this place a try!

It seems to be a bit of a hangout in the local neighborhood, which is full of arty, academic types, and the crowd was well mannered, even if, from time to time, their smoke got in my eyes.

#79-2016: What a…read morePITY!!!! Though it is half across town, this could have easily become my Sunday brunch whenever (and it is, alas, more and more often the case) I feel homesick with cravings for a splurging American style breakfast... ok... NOT quite AMERICAN, but as American as I can expect it to be on Milan soil (forget sausage, hashbrowns, waffles, chorizo...) A group of yelpers decided to gather for brunch around 10:30ish (could it have been the number 13 that jinxed the whole experience?) To discuss our latest read for the book club. If you have ever gone out to eat with a bunch of Italians you'll know we take: 1) forever to choose our meal 2) we like to mix things up to adjust it to our taste. Most of the bunch got the American Traditional Breakfast (which included: eggs, bacon on 2 slices of toast, 2 salty pancakes with tomatoes). Well, all except me decided they wanted their pancakes sweet (simply with syrup on top) instead of the salty option. Then a few other requests (NONE OF which had variations from what was written on the menu). Almost EVERYONE then opted for freshly squeezed oranges. Most asked for American coffee (some asked for a cappuccino). Few opted for yogurt... 10 minutes (which we filled with talks about the book) passed before the first few beverages arrived...PLENTY drinks missing. .. There goes the 1st star. (By the way... it took 40 minutes to have EACH requested drink brought over... many other tables were served ahead of us despite coming after us). Another 15 minutes and the first plates arrive... confusion started hitting the waiters and we started getting on the aggravated side... 2nd star gone... I asked REPEATEDLY if the plate (which was EXACTLY like everyone else... NOT including the tomatoes) I had in front of me was indeed the right one... A good 10 more minutes passed... panic engulfing the staff... Food started getting cold... I didn't DARE starting to eat for fear it were the wrong plate... Simple orders such as a brioches with capuccino took little over 1 hour to arrive. Others got the yogurt before their scrambled eggs... it was complete chaos!!! Ah... in all this.. NO tomatoes were delivered... I was simply brought some jamòn Serrano (so typically American, don't you say?). At one point the chef came out asking if everything was OK..... that is when we all at a unison said "NO" We still lacked ingredients here and there (as simple as a bit of butter or jam for those who wanted and asked for it). My sunnyside up was cooked Italian style (the white still a bit gewey on top) which was sort of ok for me but not for. Fellow Eater or 2... The scrambled eggs were way to orangey to even have ANY white in them and they were huge chunks). Bacon? Not as crispy as I am used to but perfectly salty. The slices of bread were pretty dry and without butter they were average. The pancakes were sort of ok but the syrup they brought over was NOT enough for everyone... 3rd star gone I am saving this place from a complete disastrous 1-star-review because I am feeling magnanimous on Valentine's Day... Though I should bring it down one more star when the manager came and instead of apologizing for the agony we had been experiencing he simply said "you didn't order from the right person"... too bad he showed up almost by the time it was all over... AND, by 12 he asked us to get up and leave because they needed to clean for lunch... SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!!! You need to get your act together or no ammount of "we're cool, you just got us all confused" is gonna save you from losing a whole lot of clientele!!! PS: me no likey... me no coming back. .... me no gonna suggest the place to ANYONE I know ...
