    bruschetta

    Delicious food. Friendly staff! Even gave me some free bread to go with my meal and even though I didn't speak italian they were understanding! I got the spaghetti alla puttanesca with bruschetta pomodoro. 10/10.

    Spaghetti Portobello

    We arrived at 7.30 pm on a Saturday evening without a reservation. Around 1 hour later, there were no more tables and people started to have to wait in line. In addition, this place is quite small. It has only around 15 tables. Thus, it is better to make a reservation. The food is very good. I would highly recommend Spaghetti Portobello, which is basically seafood spaghetti. Their menu is diverse: pasta, pizza, second dishes with fishes or meats, seafood salad, cheese, etc. You would rarely find cheaper restaurants than this in Milan. The restaurant is located in a quiet corner near Corso Buenos Aires, which is one of the major streets in Milan for shopping. It just takes ~10-15 minutes of walking to escape the busy street and the crowds to enjoy great food.

    Seafood salad. Too late.

    Just what you need. It has everything I love about Italy. I could eat here every day. Portobello has been here since the late 70's. The local guy that turned me on to it reveled in the throw back look of the place. As an outsider I cannot parse the subtle aesthetic signs of 70's Italy from the decor but I can say it has the fabric table cloth, 2 rooms, seafood bar, pizza oven, friendly server vibe I see all over this city but it just is so smooth and natural here. People fill up the place and have a good time. I just contains all the exuberant talkative energy of Italian dinners. So the food. I have never had a bad meal and there is lots I'd like to try but I always end up with the same meal. I have been here more than any other resturant in Milan but I just can come enough as a visit to the city to get beyond my fix. Which is the seafood salad and mix seafood pasta. I think of this a seafood and pizza place. Fresh and savory. Oh how I love seafood salad in Italy. I eat plenty of Italian food at home in the States but I never eat seafood salad out of the country. It doesn't seem as fresh or at home. If I had one critique is the bread they put on the table is boring and a bit dry. They could do better. Anyway. I wouldn't give this spot away if I lived here and had to fight a crowd. There are plenty of fancier spots in the city and I suppose everyone should find their own goto place for comfort foods. But if you are in the neighborhood skip the fancy stuff and stop by and try my favorite spot.

    Excellent place for dinner. Places are reasonable, with a wide variety of items, from Pizza to Seafood. Wine selection is reasonable, with great prices. However, you need to make a reservation because otherwise you might not find a table. Some photos included.

    Best place in town!!! The pasta di mare is absolutely ridiculously delicious. House wine is very good and the prices are

    Well at first I was hesitant because I was told they only had three pizzas and that's all that…read moreshows on the menu. Also, there was a bit of a weight when we got there, but it actually grew to almost a dozen people. They see people quickly so the turnover is pretty fast and you don't wait long. Since I was concerned about limited menu, those fears were allayed when the Waiter takes your order - he lets you know about the four or five other ones that are not on the menu that are all sounding great So we picked 'chef special' (they pick for you) and a white pizza. The service was pretty quick, and the pizza comes out right away Obviously with such high turnover, they have figured out the formula for delicious pizza. They nailed the crust as well as all the ingredients. Really delicious. The toilet facilities definitely need a lot of help. That was my only real comment about the atmosphere. It's very basic, you sit at basic tables. They seemed to all be helpful

    Fantastic food and great vibes! Simple menu (just 3 pizzas to choose from), but super effective…read morebecause every pizza is packed with flavour. The chef's surprise was a salami and burrata pizza, and it was top notch. We also had the Delicata Bianca, which was beautifully balanced. They even went above and beyond to do a half and half pizza for each of us! (See pics) Some of the Italian craft beers surprised us, and we also got a few liqueur shots on the house! Nikola/Nichola was absolutely fantastic: super attentive, friendly, and radiated joy. I also found out he was a fellow Sri Lankan, and we had a good laugh about it. The folks sitting next to us were also super friendly, so we had a great time all around. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Milan :)

    In town from the USA looking for solid Italian food near City Center Milan. Picked this due to the…read moreover 4 stars albeit several of the reviews were over 7 years ago. Seated very quickly, nice clean restaurant and nice waiters although language barrier made ordering a bit clunky. My wife got the ravioli while my friend and I got the bolognese lasagna. My wife said the ravioli was good not great and our lasagna was very tasty but room temperature. I like my food hot. The other person at our table got salmon and it was way overcooked and very tough. Not sure why our other party got Salmon at an Italian restaurant in Italy but to each his own. If you want a glass of wine you only have two choices, white wine and red wine. No other available. This is probably because the restaurant doesn't carry large inventories of wine due to their small size and cost. Overall no way is this above an average restaurant. It's just okay. Heat up your lasagna better, teach your chef how to cook Salmon and expand your glasses of wine selections.

    Excellent cafe about 5 minutes walk from the Duomo, and La Scala, and right near Piazza Cordusio…read more Offers a great selection of pizza, pasta, and more for a reasonable price. You could easily pay twice as much for something not as good as that at Bellavista Cafe. Great spot if you want to experience some quality local food and not break the bank. At lunch the place was filled with locals so the food must be good and the prices fair. Well worth the trip!

I would recommend making a reservation during prime hours and sitting outside if they have space there. The pizzas are the thin crust Roman style and very solid - the classic Margherita is the one to get as the execution is fantastic. You get the flavor of a NYC slice made with better ingredients and with a great thin crust. This reminds me of Marta in NYC which closed during COVID. The classic entrees are made in the comfort food style - solid flavors, generous portions, and good ingredients. Be sure to try the costelleta or ossobucco. The cutlet is perfectly tender with a crispy crust served with fantastic roasted potatoes. The ossobucco itself is just okay but the risotto is very satisfying especially with the bone marrow. If you are by the Duomo or Galleria and want comfort food this is a great option.

Prices were fair, and the staff was very attentive. We were able to get some good Italian music and food here. The four cheese pizza is the da bomb. They even give you some free stuff for dessert and a little mini appetizer. However, there is a four Euro tax per PERSON, that might knock the wind out of you. Still, enjoyed the place.
