Settembrini 18 - Italian Near Me - Milan, Michigan

This restaurant is in the Centrale train station neighborhood, that's how we ended up here. The food was good, but frankly not Milan good. The spaghetti carbonara was too salty, and the seafood pasta was just okay. Not for me. read more

Minimmo was the coolest , very attentive and nice. He got us a good bottle of wine and suggested good dishes for our preferences. Place was beautiful, like a local Cheesecake Factory! read more

Ambiance: it's located in the center of city, close to the train station and bus stop, the dining vibe is cozy, however, everything else is terrible Service: the worst service ever experienced in Milan, I rarely give one star review, and when I do I seriously mean it. The server brought the wrong drink, and didn't serve our table bread until our food was served and we had to ask for it, while other tables were served before their meals without being asked, let alone lack of knowledge to their menu and specialities, they made loud noise of cleaning utensils and tables, rude and not welcoming at all Food & Drink: they ran out certain food we wanted, and for the food they recommended weren't as good Bread - ** so dry and almost not edible Grilled Fish and Seafod Mix - * Ingredienti Gamberone, Scampone, Calamaro, Gamberetti, Capesanta, Spada, their chef did a terrible job, all seafood were so overcooked, only the calamari was editable, scallops were so dry and rubbery, two pieces of shrimp were dry just imagine the texture of reheated leftover, fishes were burnt and tasted very bitter, the dish is basically not edible, and any proud chef would feel shamed about how awful it was Grilled fillet of Piemontese Fassona - ** undercooked steak, asked medium well but served near rare Craft Beer - *** Blonde, just fine Price: their prices weren't crazy but totally not worth it for the poor food quality, expect €30+ per person, this place shouldn't even be called a seafood restaurant, I strongly suggest you avoid dining at this place at all costs read more

I love the lobster linguine! The sauce is very rich that I finished with a bread! I tried pistachio chess, it's a bit too sweet for asian, I prefer saulty chess, but when the waitress show them in a small tray, so adorable to refuse. We also have fired mixed seafood, fresh and delicious, best with vinegar. read more

The BEST meal we had in Milan!!!!!! Hands down! Settembrini 18 should definitely be on your bucket list if you are in Milan! It was the best Italian food we've had! In fact, the best Italian food I've ever had in my life. It was excellent! And service was superb as well. I ordered the ravioli in walnut sauce. That was by far the best ravioli I have ever tasted. The ravioli was perfectly cooked, so it was soft, but not too soft. The cheese filling was great. And the walnut sauce was amazing. I've never had walnut sauce until now. And I'm a big fan! 10/10 The margarita pizza had so much flavor! The cheese to sauce ratio was perfection. And the dough was so fresh! 10/10 Caprese salad was good. The mozzarella was extremely fresh! Wow! And the tomatoes perfectly ripe. Delicious together! 10/10 My husband ordered the carbonara pasta and he said it was far superior over all other carbonara dishes! 10/10 The only thing we didn't care for was the cheesecake. It wasn't firm like we are used to in the states. That had good flavor with the chocolate and nuts, but not our favorite. This is a sit down restaurant. Not super fancy, but also not super casual. Our server was great. Everyone was friendly. read more

Mink found this place on Yelp and asked if we could give them a try. The photos looked good and the reviews of the place were also great so I was down to try them for our first meal in Milan. We were hungry and they didn't open till 7pm but we headed there a little early just in case they were fully booked for the night. It was around 6:45pm when we arrived and the staff allowed us to be seated. They did say no service till 7pm which was fine since it was lightly drizzling outside. It gave us time to look at their menu and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. It was nicely decorated with a full bar in front. Lots of tables to accommodate all different size parties and enjoyable local music playing in the background. Mink decided on the Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare (Spaghetti with Seafood) and I ordered their Risotto alla Milanese con Ossobuco (Milanese style Risotto with Ossobuco). Normally people get appetizers but we were exhausted from a day of travel getting into Milan so we just wanted to eat then head back to the hotel for some rest. Since Mink doesn't drink and I didn't want to upset her, I just ordered a glass of red wine instead of a bottle. I drank it rather fast while waiting for our food from the kitchen so I ordered a second to enjoy with the meal. The food was amazing! They were generous with the seafood in Mink's spaghetti. She loved the sauce. Wish we had bread to soak it all up! Mink shared some with a bunch of seafood for me and she still had a mountain of seafood left over. My ossobuco was delicious and the risotto was better than I expected. We did agree the risotto was rich and not something we could eat often but it was really good. Customer service was amazing and they even tried to call us a Taxi/Cab when we were having Uber issues. They couldn't get through but we appreciated the effort. We were even offered free coffee before we left but we declined. Amazing start to Italy and great pick by Mink. read more

Truly a neighborhood joint - while completely friendly to tourists - our visit was full of families enjoying a weeknight dinner, chatting about school, work, and politics, surrounded by delicious dishes. We loved everything we tried and appreciated the accommodating and friendly service, and while we left way too full, there were no regrets. If you're traveling, and staying in a nearby hotel, make a point of stopping by. It will make you feel like you're home. So good! read more

After not being able to come here due the rain and lack of taxi available we were coincidentally close by the following day and finally were able to check it out. I had the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. Thin but very tasty. My GF had the shrimp pasta and she loved it as well. Mimmo was our server and was very nice. Definitely recommend this spot. read more

Great service blocks from Milan central train station. Food was excellent. Highly recommend. Lowered to 4 stars because the Tagliatelle with mushrooms didn't quite meet expectations.

Amazing lobster pasta and the fried seafood mix were both excellent! If you're a seafood lover, this spot is a must-try. The lobster pasta (€25) was rich and flavorful, and the fried seafood mix (€24) was perfectly crisp and generous in portion. My husband and I split both dishes and left feeling very full--great value for the price and QUALITY. We only wish we had room for dessert! Definitely recommend this place. Service was good as well. They had low music going in the background. Very clean restaurant. All together very good! read more

No pictures on this one as we had just arrived in town and was exhausted. Very friendly service and the frutti del mar with pasta was some of the most perfectly cooked pasta we ever tried. Very nice touch when they offered some limoncello and biscotti on the house at the end of the meal. Supposed to have good steaks as well but simply too many places to try to come back. read more

A pleasant experience as a solo diner. After reading reviews, I came on a Monday night at 8:30pm in April and found the restaurant around 30% full. The interior is set up like a formal dining room, yellow walls with white moldings, seating enough for around 60 people at tables of various sizes. The staff was friendly and welcoming and directed me to a seat at a small table set for two, and presented me with a menu right away. Hard to decide what to get when your eyes are larger than your stomach but you're by yourself so realistically there's only so much you can consume. After some deliberation I ordered the Sicilian red pawn spaghetti €18. The order took about 10 minutes to get ready. Pasta itself was cooked perfectly, the shrimp came in pieces mixed with plum tomatoes in with the pasta plus two complete shrimp on the side. Though the dish was executed well, and the olive oil used was delicious, it didn't stand out as something that I'd be clamoring to order again soon. The server (didn't catch his name) was very friendly and all smiles, he offered to take a picture for me which was a kind gesture. Why minus one star? Not that I needed it, but I wasn't offered bread and noticed some parties were served limoncello at the end of their meal which I wasn't offered either. My order wasn't a lot of food so maybe I didn't meet a min spending for the aperitif. I appreciated that their menu has very clear allergen information denoted. They take cash and card. Prices are very reasonable for the area. There are bathrooms available though I can't comment on their state since I didn't use them. Overall I feel like there were a lot of potentially tasty options which I wish I had a chance to try. Surely open to coming by with more people if I'm in Milan again. read more

First night back in Milan and I was starving. It was Christmas eve and most restaurants were closed. Settembrini 18 was one of the few restaurants that was open so me and one other person decided to eat here when they opened at 7pm. We didn't have reservations but they were able to take us. It was kinda busy but I don't think anyone had to wait. I was impressed with the large variety of foods they had on their menu. To start we were given complementary bread. For appetizers we shared the Shrimp Catalana, calamari and mussels & clams. For dinner we also shared the spaghetti carbonara. The shrimp catalana was an excellent arugula salad with delicious shrimps. It was recommended by our waiter and is worth getting if you like a shrimp salad. The calarmi was fried perfectly and was very tasty. The mussel & clams were good but not a favorite. The meats in the mussels were very small but the flavor overall was good. The spaghetti carbonara was on the salty side but we enjoyed it. It had a lot of flavor. For dessert, we ended with their house made tiramisu. It was excellent and made for a great ending. Our friendly waiter also gave us complementary shots of lemoncello at the end which I appreciated. Service was excellent. Our waiter was very helpful and funny. Foods came out rather quick. We spend about $95 for dinner and it was well worth it. We left full and satisfied. The inside of the restaurant is cute. It's great for intimate or large parties. Reservations is recommended. read more

Highly recommend coming here if you have a short time in Milan: 1) They have two standard Milan dishes in one order: Osso Bucco and risotto for 28 euros 2) Portion size is good enough for two people (my wife and I shared) 3) Good price 4) Close to the city center (about 15-30 minute walk) 5) Staff are really nice and welcoming Coming here was such an encouragement because we had such a mediocre dinner the night before. Inside looks like an upscale restaurant and we felt very comfortable inside thanks to the workers. read more

The staff and service were outstanding. This was the very first place we ate at during our Milan trip, and honestly, it set the bar high. We were on a mission for pizza and pasta, and this place did not disappoint. First off, the staff didn't make us embarrass ourselves with our broken Italian (which sounds like Google Translate on a bad Wi-Fi connection). Instead, they kindly switched to English and even explained the menu like pros. Big win. They started us off with bread that had the perfect personality: crunchy crust on the outside soft on the inside. I went with a Salame Piccante pizza, which basically tasted like pepperoni...yes, I know, not the most adventurous choice, but sometimes you just want comfort food. My wife ordered the Linguine al 'Astice e pomodori freschi (a.k.a. lobster pasta). The lobster was cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of garlic to make you feel fancy without scaring off vampires. To top it off, they surprised us with complimentary limoncello and a little biscotti-style cookie at the end. Free booze and dessert? That's how you win lifelong customers. Definitely recommend this place to my fellow Americans. read more

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted, seated, and attended to. Thank goodness our waiter Mimmo humored my attempts at speaking Italian. The house red and Prosecco were pretty good. The raw Parma ham (prosciutto) with the melon was like a slice of heaven. I have tried to reproduce this at home but cannot include the most important ingredient, being in a Italy. The filleto di Branzino alla griglia was flakey and rich - done to perfection. The mulberry dessert was unique. We tried deconstructing it but couldn't and before we realized, it had disappeared! Even if you are not a big dessert person share it, it is super light, many layers and not too sweet. My spaghetti con scampi e pomodori freschi was incredible. Truly the best meal I have had in Milan. We can't wait to come back and see our favorite waiter Mimmo! read more

Fantastic meal for our first night in Milan. The service was your typical Italian service but very friendly. Definitely more of a language barrier here but everything on the menu was also in English. None of the appetizers jumped out to us so we just told the server we wanted to start with something before our pasta and he pointed at something and wrote it down, which was perfect. It ended up being a salad topped with shrimp and it was delicious! I had the traditional Carbonara and I loved it. My coworker pointed to a picture on Yelp which she couldn't find on the menu and the server had no problem sending it to the kitchen. Our server then brought me over to a clear refrigerator to pick one of their gelato desserts which was also delicious. This was one of our favorite meals on this short trip. read more

Absolutely incredible and amazing meal! If you're staying in a hotel near the Central Station, I highly recommend trying this place. I started with the artichoke risotto (best risotto I've ever had) and then had the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and flavorful. They brought out complimentary limoncello and biscotti at the end. The service was wonderful. The wait staff were kind, attentive, and welcoming. Also a very elegant setting. I went to a restaurant down the street from the hotel my first night and there was just no comparison. For the same prices, I had one of the most amazing Italian meals of my life. Highly highly recommend. read more

Pro-tip: Make an online reservation to ensure to problems to get seated quickly. Otherwise you could be turned away. Service: 4* Ambience: 4* Taste: 4.5* Value: 4.5* My family and I found this place on Yelp and Google and walked from our hotel (Excelsior) by the central train station. Easy walk over in some brisk temperatures. We were greeted promptly and were seated. We ordered the house white wine (2*) and house red (4*). Ordered a mixed fish salad with olive oil and lemon. It was excellent. Some mussels, some clams, some calamari, a couple shrimp, and some octopus. Very lightly dressed and it was fantastic. So good that I didn't even take a picture! :-) My partner ordered the seafood spaghetti, it was fantastic, well seasoned and amply portioned. Our family member had the Milanese style pork cutlet, he really liked it it was juicy and well seasoned. For those that may not know, this is akin to schnitzel in Austria or Germany. It was a great experience. We would return. read more
