Hand-crafted delicacies from the Puglia region grace the menu, with specials daily. I was delighted to find this small but quaint delight while seeking a place to quell my mid-day hunger. I was immediately welcomed and settled into a table along the narrow street. The restaurant design was clean and crisp, with white wooden chairs brightened with light blue accents on the linens. The art and décor of the restaurant added visual interest while I waited for my food. I started with homemade maccheroncini with tomato sausages, basil and cacioriccota cheese, which set the bar for the rest of meal. I also tried the white fava bean puree, seasoned with chicory greens, which I enjoyed with some raw red salt water prawns. Fresh and flavorful. Right away, I knew I had picked the right place for lunch, because the first dishes were absolutely delicious! I wanted to try the raw selection, Crudi di Gallipoli, featuring tuna, swordfish, cuttlefish, red prawns, and scampi fresh from Gallipoli. Each piece was perfectly cut, colorful and beautifully presented. The whole dish was as much a sensory experience as it was a savory one. The chef recommended I try the braised meatballs in tomato sauce with homemade "Ricotta Schianta" cheese and I am glad I took her up on the suggestion. The meatballs were tender and juicy and full of flavor. Perfectly seasoned. The tomato sauce added a level of sweetness and mixed with the richness of the ricotta cheese really took the dish up another level. I was completely filled, and had felt as though I had eaten a gourmet fifteen-course meal, but after seeing a nearby table eating a fluffy, creamy cake, I had to indulge. The homemade pasticciotto was filled with a slightly sweet crème, and the perfect ending to a wonderful lunch. Excellent service, great staff, and wonderful food. The atmosphere is exactly what you want if you're seeking a quiet escape for a meal you'll never forget. I highly recommend!

It was raining and we were greeted and made to feel very welcome by the young owner who assisted us with selecting dishes for our lunch. The specialty, as the name implies, is food from the Puglia region of Italy...something new to us. The food was delicious and it is obvious that the owners and chef take great pride in what they are doing. The most delicate eggplant parmigiano was the best that I have ever had and a pasta dish with pasta unique to Puglia. Both were wonderful....simply prepared, but made with care and expertise. Bread, Primitivo wine, dessert and espresso topped off the meal. Their olive oil was so tasty that we bought 2 bottles to take with us. We highly recommend having a delicious lunch or dinner here.

The tartines look pretty but barely have any toppings compared to the amount of bland bread they're put on. It's like sushi at an all you can eat place where they put the thinnest slice of fish possible on okay rice to make it look pretty, but there's barely any substance.

Italian only menu but the yelp website has an english menu option so that was clutch. This place is Spanish food so not your typical pasta pizza. There's tapas, meats, paella, and probably a bunch of other stuff but we stuck with those three. For tapas, we ordered the octopus, Duck croquette and mushroom croquette. The mushroom croquette was good, and the octopus had a unique flavor. The duck croquette was super good, and it tasted exactly like peking duck for all my chinese people out there. Super good flavor. Second thing was the seafood paella, which was also splendid! Lastly , the Iberian pork ribs were absolutely amazing. Super tender, great flavor, and falls right off the bone. That was my first time eating Iberian ribs but damn they were good. Definitely recommended even if you aren't a local but you should probably come before 8/9, seems like a popular pocha/pregame spot because when we were leaving around 9 there were people waiting in line all over the block. Ambiance was a little loud and crowded though so heads up on that.

A lot of seafood in there such as shrimps, clams, mussels, squid. Pasta was al dente with right amount of delicious sauce from all those seafood. I asked the waiter what was on the top- it looked like baked crust. They named it "foil" but it was just a baked pizza crust on the top of the pasta. Second dish we ordered was Cotoletta alla Milanese- Veal Milanese- pan fried veal cutlet. Veal was crispy on the outside and meat was tender on the inside with great seasoning. It was a delicious meal in Milan, Italy. This Trattoria was cleaned and well maintained with friendly waiters. Felt like family eating style restaurant with good ambiance and service. Highly recommend those dishes to try.

Hopefully, I am reviewing the correct location in Brera in Milan Italy…read more I was here a few weeks ago. I was walking around Brera, not entirely sure what restaurant to pick. Too many restaurants that offer almost the same menu. Not all of them are listed on Yelp. So I had to be creative: it was hot in Milan, so I wanted to pick a resto with a/c. For instance, I enjoyed the food at nearby Casa Fiori Chiari, a few walking minutes away. August is a tricky month to visit Italy as lot of restaurants are closed for weeks during summer. Anyways, somehow, I was drawn to this place. I wanted to get a bisteca ala Florentina, seems they were know. For their steaks. The portion was too big just for me. Being it was my last night in Milan as I was heading to Cappadocia and Istanbul, I figured I would order what Milan was famous for: Osso Buco with a side of risotto Milanese. Wow! I am glad I picked this place because the flavor was very much on point! I enjoyed the risotto too. I'm glad I picked this place because they are known for their beef/steaks, it seems. The osso buco was fork tender and oozing with flavor! The serving was huge! I had to take my leftover to go, it was that good that I didn't want to waste my food. Service was prompt and server was friendly. Maybe it was an off night for the low reviews. But this is 5 stars in my book.
