    Creamy Pear tartan.
    Bill R.

    So happy to have stumbled upon Limone after being jet lagged on arrival to Milan. Aside from some of the best meals I've had in Milan, they also provide the best service and atmosphere. They are welcoming of all cultures and speak many languages in case your Italian is rusty. We tried several dishes including pizza margarita, pizza tartufatto, spaghetti carbonara, and a Mediterranean seafood salad. Also an unforgettable creamy pear tartan. Pizzas are thin crust neapolitan style and wood fired. Crust made from durum wheat that is allowed to rise 4 days. Incredible. Pasta carbonara is rich and creamy with tons of pancetta. Maybe too much, but is that really possible?! Perfect al dente every time. The salads are fresh and seasonal and uncomplicated. Limone serves the freshest fish in Milan. The restaurant remains one of the last in the city to acquire it first directly from the central fish market of via Lombroso, the first point of arrival for the most important catches on the Italian Mediterranean. Being able to directly inspect, touch, evaluate and negotiate the purchase of fish directly from the market is an ability developed over decades by the chef and owner of the restaurant. Excellent wine selections from all major regions of Italy at reasonable price points. The house red is a 90+ nero d'avola from Sicily. Excellent. The incredibly friendly staff took great care of us, made us feel like family, and never let us leave without shots of limoncello to cleanse the pallet. Highly recommended.

    Black risotto with salmon

    Oh my god ask for the free focaccia bread basket. They brought it out to us straight out of the oven! Also complimentary biscotti sweet breads at the end sealed the deal. I got the black risotto with salmon (raw) and it was delicious! Probably the best pasta I had in Italy. My friends seafood risotto came in a clam which was beautifully plated. The best part was that our meal was only 35 euros. Such a steal!

    I stumbled upon this restaurant without any prior research and I enjoyed my dinner. I wouldn't go as far as five stars because at this price point, and with this type of mahogany-infused ambiance, you always feel that more is warranted. But great experience nonetheless. The complimentary bread basket also includes "grissini" (loosely translated as breadsticks, originally from Turin) and "taralli" (this time, typical from Southern Italy), and while you're reading the menu and munching on your necessary dose of carbs, another complimentary dish of freshly baked focaccia magical appears at your table. Now, you don't want to skip that. My appetizer was out of the "daily specials", an interesting if not daring combination of grilled octopus, porcini mushroom over a bed of mashed potatoes. It looked great, it tasted delicious, but it was hardly a starter, while I was looking for something lighter. The orata (bream) with "crunchy zucchini" (misnomer for fried courgettes) was on point, already de-boned and nicely arranged on the dish. Five stars for service, the waiter was genuinely nice and came over to check if everything was alright without being overbearing. Even after the check I was offered some mandarins for the wait (producing the bill is always a time-consuming ordeal in Italy), and some Limoncello as a night cap. It's not the pleasure of being "extra", I honestly felt the guy was making sure my dinner was memorable and ended on the right note. At Limone you feel like a regular, even at your first try. They accept Amex and the food selection is quite interesting (fish and meat), although without many truly light options for my taste. But tasty it is.

    First time here as friend told me this is traditional Italian style restaurant. Vintage feeling and food tasted a bit salty including tomato soup, bread, seabass & even pizza... Don't know why that salty but overall my comment of this restaurant is fair. Funny that during my dinner time there around 2 hours, they broke 3 glass cup already & few staffs got argument

    Seafood risotto. Is delicious. I come 2 Milan 2x per year and this is a must to stop. Best pizza in Italy.

    Went the 1st time years ago for real Italian pizza. Delicious and thin crust. Just how I like it. Also they have a full menu specializing in seafood. Can compete with any 5 star restaurant for food quality. Would highly recommend. Near Sheraton 4 points.

    Best lasagne ever!

    Should not be listed as "pizza". Much more extensive menu. Excellent menu, ambiance and service. Highly recommend.

    Papà Francesco - Spaghetti ai frutti di mare

    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.
