    Carbonara!
    Sean M.

    Great wine and food! Also play hip hop music which was interesting and refreshing. Good for a nice lunch

    Dessert!

    So good! I got the handmade ravioli and loved it! My dad got a steak and said it was amazing. We were so full but got dessert anyway after watching another table order dessert. Forgot to get a picture before we dug in so the picture attached is pullout dessert halfway eaten! We sat outside in a shaded porch and it was great people watching. Our waiter was a gentleman who was so nice and when I asked a question he was so happy to answer! Overall it was good food, a nice porch, nice music in the background and a nice waiter.

    Great beer in large quantity..

    Great beer in large quantity. Pizza was fantastic and pasta was really good. Great service at a good price. Just don't order to many large mugs or you might not be able to stay awake on the ride home.

    Everything we got was delicious and the portion sizes were good. My favorite was the prosciutto and the octopus salad, but wouldn't skip out on pasta! Loved the warm atmosphere in the winter with the lights. Would definitely recommend especially for visitors because the area it's in has a lot going on

    Bomba pizza and Prosecco!

    Pizza and service was amazing, though it was very hot on the patio in July, they have fans for each table, and a bottle of Prosecco to cool you off!

    This is on a main drag in the brera district so It's like south beach in miami (my hometown) so maybe you lower your expectations when it comes to food. In this case the food was excellent and yes maybe a bit pricier than other locations but not that much. If you are in Milan this is the area come check out and have a meal. It's pedestrian only, full of restaurants with outdoor seating and cool medieval like streets. So the ambiance if you sit outside is very nice with People walking by on a pedestrian street with zero cars nearby. It screams tourist trap but the service is very good and sharp and the food is very good. First off I see complaints about the Coperto at 3.50. When you consider you get a glass of proseco for an aperitif and a limoncello after dinner along with a nice bread basket that is not bad. We had a spaghetti vongole which was excellent with fresh if small clams and a nice dressing/sauce. We also had steak strips with Arugula (rocket as They call it in Europe ), wonderful tomatoes and cheese. A great dish with a ton of food. Bottom line we enjoyed everything about eating here especially the location. Go eat on ocean drive in south beach and you will get crap service and crap food (except maybe at casa Larios)l but here on an equivalent tourist hot spot you may spend a few euros more but it's a nice experience with really good food.

    Dinner here was delicious and did not disappoint. They had a good selection of red wine to start. We started off with the tomato bruschetta, it came with four pieces and was perfect to share. I had the gnocchi with Gorgonzola and walnuts, cooked perfectly and very delicious. I sampled the risotto and the steak both were excellent. Everything was excellent and the wait staff very friendly. I would highly recommend dinner here!

    What can I say ? Simply the best pizza that I've had. Eat here, you won't be disappointed.

    A wonderful resturant, especially near the spring when you can sit outside, in cosy Brera and enjoy the atmosphere. Great wines, great food and great service! I had the pizza and it was just the way I wanted it to be, sitting in the old town of Milano. Sipping on an unbelievable Amarone enjoying the monent.. I really recommend this place

    The service was superb. The waiter really made this place a hit. We had pizza and salad and wine. I would go back because of the service.

    It's somewhat of a tourist trap. We ordered shrimp gnocchi and there were no shrimps in it. OK, there were two. You pay for the location.

    After a long day at a conference this was perfect. Sat outside, service was very friendly, and…read morefood was excellent!

    I literally wrote 4 paragraphs and Yelp glitched and deleted my draft…read more Please make sure to ask them to charge you in Euros because we didn't get the option by the owner and he charged us in USD which costs us more. He's been in business for 44 years so obviously he knows but still charged us in USD which is kinda shady IMO. We decided to dine here due to all the reviews and photos posted. When we approached the restaurant, the owner immediately said "Ni Hao" which I thought was kinda racist. What if I wasn't Chinese? Mink felt offended but we committed to dining there so we did. He asked if we wanted to dine inside or outside. Since it was chilly for Mink, we opted to dine inside where it was 90% full due to a Chinese tour group. They all had the same dish so we figured preset menu for them. I wasn't sure what I was going to get but since they all ate the Ossobuco con risotto alla Milanese in Crosta, I decided to order that as it was one of the dishes I was considering. Mink ordered their Spaghetti ai frutti di mare. I'm not sure why but the owner exclusively took care of us. He also made it a point to bring a photo over of Jay Chow saying he's dined there 4-5 times in the last few years. Maybe that's why the Chinese tour group eats there? He was arrogant enough to brag about how much money he's made because of Jay Chow. There were lots of celebrities that dined there from what gathered looking at his wall of fame. I bet he didn't charge any of them in USD *smh* The Ossobuco con risotto alla Milanese in Crosta was really good and probably the best we had in Milan. They must be able to make this dish with their eyes closed at this point with the daily Chinese tour groups dining there. Their Spaghetti ai frutti di mare was decent but didn't have as much seafood in the dish as other restaurants and the flavor was about average. The bread and EVOO offered was legit though! I loved it and I normally hardly ever eat the complimentary bread. Food is good overall and customer service felt extra. If we didn't get charged USD, wasn't getting bragged to about how much money he made off Jay Chow and wasn't greeted with a "Ni Hao" then the place is 4 stars. Since all that did happened, 2.5 stars.
