In town from the USA looking for solid Italian food near City Center Milan. Picked this due to the…read moreover 4 stars albeit several of the reviews were over 7 years ago. Seated very quickly, nice clean restaurant and nice waiters although language barrier made ordering a bit clunky. My wife got the ravioli while my friend and I got the bolognese lasagna. My wife said the ravioli was good not great and our lasagna was very tasty but room temperature. I like my food hot. The other person at our table got salmon and it was way overcooked and very tough. Not sure why our other party got Salmon at an Italian restaurant in Italy but to each his own. If you want a glass of wine you only have two choices, white wine and red wine. No other available. This is probably because the restaurant doesn't carry large inventories of wine due to their small size and cost. Overall no way is this above an average restaurant. It's just okay. Heat up your lasagna better, teach your chef how to cook Salmon and expand your glasses of wine selections.

Excellent cafe about 5 minutes walk from the Duomo, and La Scala, and right near Piazza Cordusio…read more Offers a great selection of pizza, pasta, and more for a reasonable price. You could easily pay twice as much for something not as good as that at Bellavista Cafe. Great spot if you want to experience some quality local food and not break the bank. At lunch the place was filled with locals so the food must be good and the prices fair. Well worth the trip!

Everyone was friendly and helpful! We opted for a two person baked & grilled menu as we hadn't eaten yet today and m, let me tell you, it. was. fantastic! And a lot of food. I couldn't begin to list all the items that arrived in healthy potions but we dispatched them all in short order, shamelessly. Well, there was a little shame lol. We would absolutely return. Amongst other items that cannot be sold short, there was a vegetarian meatball, awesome, nice texture and flavorful. Vegetarian lasagna, VERY nice, just try it. A pool of warm cheese with a chutney atop, perfection, say no more. And a grilled cheese. No my friends, not "a grilled cheese" but "grilled cheese", with jam, and it changed our world Thank you for a great first experience in Milano

Loved this place. Tiny and packed, as the rest of the reviewers said, but worth the squeeze! I kept…read moreexpecting Anthony Bordain to walk in with a film crew--it's that kind of place: unpretentious, super authentic, filled with locals, solid food, and even an Italian grandmother who emerged from the kitchen to encourage us to have dessert!

Excellent Michelin starred vegetarian menu restaurant in Milan. I am not a vegetarian but was…read moreintrigued by the unique menu to check it out with a friend. We both had the lunch tasting menu, which was light flavorful and uniquely theirs. Service was attentive, and I especially appreciated the waiter's recommendations for pairings.

My wife and I visited Milan from New York last week and chose Joia to celebrate our 30th wedding…read moreanniversary and were deeply disappointed, especially given the €400+ spend. Despite its Michelin star and vegetarian focus, both the food and service fell well below expectations. From the start, we felt pressured to purchase expensive wine before even settling in. The restaurant offers separate vegetarian and vegan tasting menus, but when I wanted vegetarian and my wife vegan, we were firmly told this wasn't allowed. A senior staff member even came over to explain--quite patronizingly--that we 'didn't know our food' and had to choose one menu for both of us. Most dishes were mediocre at best, making the Michelin recognition hard to understand. Even basic details like torn table napkins reflected a lack of care. Overall, this was not the special experience we hoped for, and I would not recommend Joia.

Breakfast is the general european fare, plus a few breakfast bowls and options. Unlike most other places to buy a pastry, you can actually sit inside here. Their juice is a little pricey at €5,90, but it is fresh pressed in front of you and high quality. It's the same price you'd pay in any major American city for this kind of product. I wasn't expecting it to be so good! The location right next to the Duomo and various metro stops is super convenient and their free wifi was fast and easy. They also take card.

Food is by weight but reheated, so it's not ultra fresh, but has about 1000 times more fiber than the average Italian meal.

Last place I planned on eating at while in Milan was a burger joint, but I did, and let me tell…read moreyou, it was a good burger. A very good burger. And I am not a person who would ordinarily put sliced cucumber on a Bacon Burger (beef burger, tomato, onion, cucumber, mayo, ketchup, iceberg lettuce and bacon /€8), but it was crunchy good. Mama Burger's Agnello location was very clean, the Men's washroom was clean, the counter service was friendly and fast (Thank You, Cassa!), my special order burger was done correctly by the kitchen, and despite the politically-incorrect logo (sorry, Mama, it is what it is), I was impressed. Four Stars -- Mama, you are doing burgers and service right!

It's pretty difficult to find decent non-Italian food in MIlan, so after a month and a half of what…read moreseemed like endless paninis, pizza and pasta, this place was a god send. I try to be impartial in this review though, and review it just like any other burger place in any country (not as a burger place in MILAN, where I'd probably be more lenient). I came here for lunch and got the lunch menu, which is €10 for any burger (except the angus and another which I forget), fries, a drink, and a coffee. I would recommend that lunch is the best time to come for this reason, any other time of day a burger itself starts from €9 and a combo like that would be €15 and up. I got a cheese burger, and it was pretty amazing. They ask how you want your burger cooked, and you can see the chef cooking all the patties as well as toasting the buns right in the back. I got mine medium, and it was juicy and not too greasy. My only complaint is they might have overdid it on the ketchup on the burger. The fries I got were not as piping hot as I would have liked, but still SO good. After our meal, we had a choice of American coffee (a change of pace from the espresso shots that everyone takes here!) or an espresso. The ambiance is chill, and the decor is pretty trendy. Their logo with the woman in hoop earrings still makes me laugh. If any of you have been to New York's Shake Shack, their ordering system is the same, where they give you an electronic thing that vibrates once your order is ready. It was refreshing to have a solid American meal, and I would definitely be coming back to Mama Burger soon!

Well at first I was hesitant because I was told they only had three pizzas and that's all that…read moreshows on the menu. Also, there was a bit of a weight when we got there, but it actually grew to almost a dozen people. They see people quickly so the turnover is pretty fast and you don't wait long. Since I was concerned about limited menu, those fears were allayed when the Waiter takes your order - he lets you know about the four or five other ones that are not on the menu that are all sounding great So we picked 'chef special' (they pick for you) and a white pizza. The service was pretty quick, and the pizza comes out right away Obviously with such high turnover, they have figured out the formula for delicious pizza. They nailed the crust as well as all the ingredients. Really delicious. The toilet facilities definitely need a lot of help. That was my only real comment about the atmosphere. It's very basic, you sit at basic tables. They seemed to all be helpful

The chef's surprise was a salami and burrata pizza, and it was top notch. We also had the Delicata Bianca, which was beautifully balanced.

Nikola/Nichola was absolutely fantastic: super attentive, friendly, and radiated joy. I also found out he was a fellow Sri Lankan, and we had a good laugh about it. The folks sitting next to us were also super friendly, so we had a great time all around. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Milan :)
