I've been torn between writing or not about Il Pranzo since I got back from my Milan Paris trip…read moreduring the Paris fashion week. This is a little hole in the wall that I wanted to keep it to myself...but ....too late now and the word is out, oh well.... IP is what I call a mom & pop place where everyone knows each other, and we were brought here for lunch by our great friend who is a local and a regular patron. So please a, speaka italiano only. I, on the other hand didn't speak Italian and not a local so sure, I stood out like a sore thumb...haha!! The food here is outstanding at least for me because I like it simple and natural without the heavy heavy spices. This way, the chef cannot hide anything. Everything is super super fresh, like it's picked out from the backyard fresh!!!! I loved IP and surely will miss it until I visit Milan next time!!! Just look at my photos and drool, lol. So, please please don't go there and flood the place because there are probably less than 10 tables there, and the decor is outdated and not to most Yelpers' extravagant tastes!! They surely don't need any publicity and have plenty of businesses from the locals. So please stay away so I can have the place to myself when I visit without having to wait for a table. Thank you, Il Pranzo, I love you!!

So delicate and one of the best lasagna's I've ever had! The risotto with carrots and asparagus, creamy and perfectly al dente! The third pasta that was a sort of rigatoni, also vegetarian and also incredible! Then we had a chicken that was stuffed with prosciutto! For dessert don't miss the cheesecake! It was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had!

The ambiance was spectacular, as the restaurant is an old military barracks with even a church attached. Given the fall season, we were served an excellent pumpkin risotto, pasta cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper), and a nice breaded veal cutlet. There aren't many reviews of restaurants in Como here on Yelp, which is why I'm adding this to the list for some lucky wandering tourists. Enjoy.

The views of the…read moreDuomo cathedral are absolutely breathtaking, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and elevated dining experience. Sitting there, taking in the scenery, truly captures the essence of Italy. I ordered the focaccia pizza with prosciutto, and it was delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The quality of the ingredients really stood out, adding to the authenticity of the meal. The overall vibe felt very Italian, with a stylish yet comfortable atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff was also very attentive and helpful throughout, making sure everything was just right. Their professionalism added a polished touch to the visit. Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you're in Milan and want amazing views, great food, and a true Italian ambiance.

We started taking pictures with our camera and they said that we cant take pictures with cameras, only phone. Weird?? Then we had a bottle of water with us and they made us throw it away. Why? Food was mediocre, overpriced, and they rush you to leave. Never again! The view of the Milan cathedral from below will do just fine.

The drink was well balanced. The pricing was around €25-35 euros. However, each drink came with small bites. You can't book a reservation, it's first come first serve. We waited in line for a while and they ended up seating us. There were other groups they couldn't accommodate I think they may have had too large of a party. There are restrooms but you have to request a ticket they validate just to use the bathroom. Depending on your seat you might get a lovely view of the Cathedral or not. Overall I personally liked my experience here!

There is a line to get in but you can make some friends while waiting as most of them are tourists,…read moreseating at the terrace at this place is a must as it has wonderful views of Il Duomo, the aperol spritz is the way to go and it comes with a big sampler platter for snacks.
