    Our hotel concierge suggested this restaurant which is located in a small alley across from near the San Bablio square and subway station. We got there for lunch at around 2 and both upstairs and downstairs were nearly packed. It has a clean, welcoming ambience. The interior walls are lined with large black & white portraits of Hollywood stars, including of course Sophia Loren, from a bygone era. The waiter spoke fluent English and service was good. The freshly made pasta came out piping hot and was quite tasty and well made. My companion ordered the ragu ( essentially bolognese and I an off menu basic AOP (charged as a primi €12). I A delicious lunch. There is a cover Coperto charge of €3,5 per person for bread service.

    Ristorante decisamente nascosto tra viuzze di zona San Babila: raffinato (ma non troppo) frequentato da clientela decisamente anziana (la sera che sono andato era pieno al 80% da vecchietti... forse ho beccato la ripatriata tra nonni?) anche se ogni tanto si trovano comunque famiglie o coppiette milanesi. In parole povere, costosetto ma piatti buoni e servizio eccellente (i camerieri sono simpatici)... nonostante tutto pero' non vedo molti buoni motivi per tornarci! :P

    We spent 9 days in Italy- 3 in Milan, 2 in Tuscany and 4 in Florence....had lots of good meals, but this was by far, the best. Food was perfection- fresh, flavorful and well-served. Delightful environment and superb service. Can't wait to return!

    Being a chef myself I wanted to taste true Milan and after a lot of research I requested a table at Papermoon, cut to the chase , the tables are directly next to each other so a romantic table for 2 can easily feel like a table for 4 or 6 , both starters and main courses were highly seasoned with salt which over powered the flavours of the food , there is NO customer service what so ever and when we left roughly at €15 tip on out €85 bill the waiter looked furious as he literally mumbled under is breathe as he threw out coats at us !! Not as good as you think !!

    Cotoletta di Manzo "Paper Moon". Awesome!

    The ambiance is excellent. The food is sold- fish very strong, risotto very strong- desert could pass.

    Tiny dishes, unfriendly staff, 3.5€ 'coperto' charge PER PERSON and average taste. Avoid this place.

    Fushbar de Milan - walked 15 minutes from Duomo. I had it marked on my Yelp page to visit and here…read morewe are. Not too many seafood restaurants and this place fit the bill. Thanks Yelpies for the nice photos. We opted to sit at the patio by the street. They made it little better by putting a facade between the street and the sidewalk. No smokers but that didn't last long. In Italy, outside seating means someone will be smoking next to you. Guaranteed. When we got here, thr waiter started shaking his head when I said no reservation. After conferring with another waiter, we got seated and things started rolling. Bread was brought out and asked for bottled water. To my surprise, cuperto was free and Pellagrino was only €3.50 Chilled vino bianco was delicious with the two items we shared. I got the grilled octopus served on top of the mashed potatoes. (POLPO CROCCANTE Purè, pomodorini semi dry, paté di olive nere) It was a large serving and grilled to perfection. The fish soup (ZUPPA DI PESCE Pomodoro, calamari, polipetti, seppie, gamberi, cozze, vongole, crostini di pane) had flavor that I wasn't use to. Salty, thick soup base? Definitely better to dip with scarpetta. Wasn't happy that one clam and one mussels didn't open up. Our waiter were on top of everything till we were ready to go. Guy next to us rolled a cigarette and started smoking and I was ready to roll out of there. Took while to get the bill after repeatedly asking for it. Overall, we only scratched the surface and love to come back and spend exploring other items like raw fish platers. Inside!

    Good: staff super friendly, accommodating; crispy octopus - easily one of the best octopus dishes…read moreI've ever tried Not so good: the marinated anchovies appetizer is a half-opened tin of anchovies, a few pads of butter, and triangles of white toast, and it's 21EUR; when it arrived, it almost felt like someone was pranking me. It made me feel bad that I was spending so much money on a tin of anchovies. I ate it and didn't complain as that's not in my nature. Charging this much for someone to crack open a tin of fish is wild. It's such a shame about the anchovies, but the crispy octopus was good. Be forewarned when you see "marinated anchovies" on the menu, and just know you're just getting a cracked open tin of anchovies.

    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.
