It appears that this is the Sardi's of Milan - portraits of Italian celebrities cover the wall all over and the food passes muster to match the star power. I was first brought a basket of bread but no accompanying olive oil. The bread was basically good but i waited until I had plates to scrape up sauce and oil from for the bread. My first dish was a Spaghetti with anchovies which was quite delicious. The pasta may have been a tad bit *too* al dente even for me, and I like it al dente! My second dish was the Veal Piccata with Artichoke. They brought me a Veal Piccata with Olives instead - which was not on the menu....but in my confusion I found that an earlier verison of the menu had it Pizzaola style - tomato-sauce with olives. That's not on their current menu though so when I asked them where the artichokes were, pointing to an image from their digital menu, they said no more and removed the plate and in a few instant minutes later brought me exactly what I ordered. The artichokes were broiling hot, obviously they rushed this together but it was tasty. I finished off with a Pasteria Napoletana from the dessert display case. It was all good. I don't know if I'd necessarily come back though as I had higher expectations of the food and the service, though. But worth trying once!

The restaurant is on a side street near the busy (with tourists from every corner of the globe) Duomo area. It is easy to find. It has a charming decor (though it is a bit darker and more romantically appointed than other area restaurants, as well as having an underground and almost bordello vibe). It is also larger than it might appear, as there are both ground floor, as well as a lower eating area seemingly for larger groups, as well as used during busier times. We have only eaten on the ground floor level. The menu offers ample variety, but is not what one would term extensive. It tends upscale, though not extremely costly (arguably average to slightly above average fine restaurant prices), but portions are on the smaller side. They have a specialty in dishes augmented and emphasizing the use of truffles, of which we have sampled several times. Over the course of our several meals we've had every pasta and risotto offered with truffle shavings. Of the appetizers we can recommend the meatballs, which are delicate and small, the bacon wrapped shrimp, and the octopus. Their desserts are also not the run of the mill and warrant tastings. All and all, we will always repeat here when in Milan. Frankly, though their Yelp average score is pretty good, we were surprised they do not have a higher Yelp average score.

I couldn't leave without trying what Milan is known for, their Milanese risotto and also pasta. I was originally going to go to Risoelatte based off Yelp reviews but they were fully booked for the day and I had to catch a plane in an hour so I walked down the street to Locatelli Milano and I'm so glad I did! Everyone was Italian and dressed impeccably in perfect fitting suits and each person had a glass of wine with their lunch on the table. There were no other tourists there (except for me). I ordered two first courses (which the waiter double checked and said, "Sorry, excuse me. So you want TWO first courses?" I said "YES!") and got a crispy saffron risotto and spaghetti with uni and black garlic. JUST AMAZING! I will never be able to eat risotto in NYC (where I'm from) ever again.

I was hoping to try the Ossobuco, but it was not on the lunch Menu. I decided to go with a lighter fare, mix salad and the Milan mixed cold platter. Not my normal route, but I only had a day to eat through Milan. Simple but everything with executed well. Milan cold platter consisted of minced head cheese, cream-like fondue cheese, zucchini stuffedwith an onion jam, and select cured meat. Very local . I believe I was the only tourist. The waiters speak limited English, and there is no translated menu. However, the staff were very accommodating. 8 minute walk from Centrale station.

The conchetta was quite dry and bland. Just a thin pork cutlet breaded that needed salt and/or a dipping sauce. And by the bone, still very raw. I informed the server, but they just dismissed me and said it's normal. Is it really normal to serve raw pork?? For it being their "signature dish", I was hoping for it to be better. Risotto was al dente and pretty good. We got 2 portions but when serving, we saw them save a portion for a table that didnt order any risotto. Nice, for that table. but it seems like we didn't get the full 2 portions.

Usually we would never stand in line for food/drinks but I really wanted to try this place and so we decided to gave it a few minutes to see how the line was moving. This was worth the 20-25 minute wait (especially since most of the area was shaded... had it not been I know we would have decided on a plan B). We were told our table was on the second floor so headed up the cute narrow staircase in the back where we were immediately greeted by the servers up there. I loved how all the servers greeted you as you walked through the restaurant. Loved the ambiance upstairs too with the brick walls, balcony windows open and the fairy-lights intertwined with branches covering the ceiling. Red checkered tablecloths covered all of the tables and it was very cozy (tight). We ordered the set lunch. The starter, main plus side runs 25 Euros. The main plus side was I think 17 or 18 Euros? They have a limited menu so everything came out quickly (maybe 3 minutes after our server took our order)? Honestly this was a lot of food... we ended up taking one whole main dish to go since my husband and son both got the coteletta (Milanese pork chop) and we all ended up sharing with each other. I got the porchetta and it was so rich and flavorful. The grilled veggies and the roasted potatoes were also excellent. My son thought his salad was a bit too salty for his taste though. The tiramisu served in a mug was very delicious. When we asked for the check we were told we were table 15. We were a bit confused but ended up getting clarification that we were to tell the cashier downstairs our table number in order to check out at the register. Overall we had a lovely lunch!
