The hostel itself is really clean, has cool, eclectic décor and several patios for guests to hang out on. The kitchen upstairs has an rooftop herb garden with tables and is a really great spot to cook, hang out and relax. Probably my favorite part is how awesome the staff is. Really great people who go out of there way to make the experience at Ostello fun and feel like home. Definitely recommend staying here!

They serve surprisingly strong drinks here, so they are sippable and can last you a while. The bar of food as some good choices. I personally like the caprese salad, the fresh pizza (it goes quickly so its always fresh), and the copious amounts of cheese available. Keep in mind it is an aperitif bar, so don't expect restaurant quality dishes. Just nibbles to munch on.

TLDR: amazing view by the lake; fun, lively vibes; affordable - only €12 for a drink and AYCE;…read moregreat customer service Since we didn't know much about the area, we asked a Lush Employee for a recommendation and she suggested Navigli Darsena and getting all you can eat along the river. My friends and I have only been in Spain for a day and a half and so we were super excited. She didn't specify which AYCE place we should do to so we looked around. First off, Navigli Darsena is beautiful. It's an amazing lake to walk around. There's plenty of AYCE places but Manhattan defiantly stood out and was a fantastic deal. It was super lively and it helped reassure that we were going to a good place. It is the first restaurant on the left side by the lake. There were several people inside by the lake and indoors. We didn't know exactly what to do but a employee quickly found us and helped get us seated. We we served and the waitress was super helpful! Basically how this place works is that you buy a drink (12€ regular, 15€ large) and it comes with the buffet. There was a huge selection of drinks so there should be something for everyone. If you get the large drink, it comes in a huge cup which put us in awe. You pay once you get your drinks, which come pretty quickly. The buffet was actually delicious and a lot to choose from. Paired well with the drinks, but of course LOTS OF CARBS! My favourite was the potatoes, pizza, and little sandwich. Everything is a perfect bite size. The employees are super friendly, even though they don't have to be because they're not working for tips. They were helpful and kind. It brought a lot of ease. I told the employee serving us that she was pretty and she gave me a hug! She was so sweet (small tan skinned with curly hair). Loved going to this place and will definitely recommend others to try if they come to Milan!

Intro: After grabbing dinner in the Navigli district, my buddy and I were looking for some drinks…read morein the area. Ugo was mentioned in my guide book and it was a short walk so our decision was made. We made our way and we were seated at a table inside. Ambiance (4/5): Ugo is a sophisticated cocktail bar and the decor and ambiance match. While I was there with my buddy, I thought to myself: this would make for a good date spot. Service (5/5): European service has a reputation for being slow and inefficient. And not terribly friendly. The opposite is true at Ugo. The bartenders were friendly, checked on us promptly, and closed us out quickly when we were ready to leave. This is not the norm in Italy and it was a nice surprise. Food (N/A): We had dinner earlier so drinks only for us. Drinks (5/5): First off, I appreciated the creativity of the menu itself. The signature cocktails were named after board games and there was a short description to make the connection between the game and the drink. The creativity shown on the menu matches the sophistication of the drinks. If you're looking for an elaborate cocktail, you'll find that at Ugo. The cocktail I ultimately chose had cachasa in it (a Brazilian liquor). You don't find this spirit often so I jumped on the opportunity. The cocktail itself lived up to my expectations and then some. Overall: If I lived in Milan, Ugo would be a part of my regular rotation.

Very worth and a popular spot by Arco della Pace! We first arrived at 18:00 on a Monday and luckily…read morethe good weather meant we could sit outside. 15 euros for one drink and unlimited food - mainly pasta, pizza, dessert, and rice (that could pass for biryani). The best was the spinach ravioli and fracado drink. This was such a good deal!! Very worth it and we totally could have just had dinner here with small plates. By the time we passed by at 21:00, it was popping outside. We did see some flies around the kitchen, by the desserts. Which is why it's not 5 stars.
