The more the merrier we say. Food was pretty good however there was a consensus that the beef carpaccio lacked flavor. I was also surprised to order the octopus but barely found any octopus in the dish, it was more of a shrimp dish which was not described in the menu at all. This is why I took 1 star off. All in all - we had a good time, the staff was friendly and patient with our large group.

But it was a few blocks from our AirBNB, it looked lovely, and we were hungry. To our surprise there was an available table. You can study restaurant reviews all you want, but sometimes you just have the good fortune to wander into a wonderful restaurant. And that was exactly our experiences at Al Mercante. We ate on the beautiful terrace which faces the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana art museum. The small piazza where Al Mercante is located was very quiet at night. The interior of Al Mercante is quite elegant. While the majority of the clientele were foreigners, there was small wedding party a couple of tables over. We had the very good fortune to be waited on by Angelo, a professional waiter who loves his job (23 years at Al Mercante!) and who ensured that we had a fine dining experience. Angelo speaks beautiful Spanish and we were able to have a more complete discussion than usual about the menu. I've managed to forget the details of the wonderful food we ate so I hope I. don't commit any serious omissions as I reconstruct our meal. We had an appetizer which I cannot recall. I think it was some sort of raw fish (crudo sounds better) with just a hint of citrus almost like an Italian version of ceviche. Our primo (shared) was wonderful: porcini mushrooms on roasted potatoes. What great taste from two simple ingredients. The secondo (also shared) was salmon coated in sliced almonds and a wonderful lemony sauce. Quite simply it was perfect. We had a terrific white wine that might have been a vermentino. Angelo didn't have biscotti with vino santo so he suggested sbrisolona -- another kind of dessert biscuit. -- that seemed to be homemade -- and a digestivo. In between all of this were wonderful amuse bouche. Here's what I'd like you to know: this was a wonderful, elegant meal served by a very professional waiter in beautiful surroundings. Al Mercante provided a delightful meal on our last evening in Milan.

As an American in Milan you learn quickly that the people of Milan can be a bit rude (even at restaurants). However the staff at this restaurant were the opposite and were very pleasant.

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 meats included prosciutto, speck, and a couple salamis. The cheeses were soft but not sharp or moldy. Overall, it was a pleasant and mild board. Next, we had the Milanese risotto with saffron. I prefer the rice to be a little softer; nevertheless, the flavors were delicious. Our main course was steak over arugula and parmigiana cheese. It was a small portion but good. I would have prefer the steak to be cooked a little rarer with more sear. For dessert, we had these chocolate pieces. It has the same granulated yet solidified texture as halva. It was excellent.

The decor is cute - you feel like you're inside a ship.

I mean, get everything I starred. Get everything in general. The bill was about 75 euros a person without wine. Between the pastas, I'd say getting the clam pasta gives more variety, because you have to get the lobster Catalán. This restaurant serves hands down the best orata and lobster I've ever had. Eat both even if you go by yourself. I certainly plan to on my revisit. You can do it. Have faith. Thank me later.
