I tried to paparadelle with rabbit ragu and the slow cooked veal with vegetables. While to food seemed well cooked both lacked flavor and seemed a bit bland in my opinion.

I was hoping to try the Ossobuco, but it was not on the lunch Menu. I decided to go with a lighter fare, mix salad and the Milan mixed cold platter. Not my normal route, but I only had a day to eat through Milan. Simple but everything with executed well. Milan cold platter consisted of minced head cheese, cream-like fondue cheese, zucchini stuffedwith an onion jam, and select cured meat. Very local . I believe I was the only tourist. The waiters speak limited English, and there is no translated menu. However, the staff were very accommodating. 8 minute walk from Centrale station.

As an American in Milan you learn quickly that the people of Milan can be a bit rude (even at restaurants). However the staff at this restaurant were the opposite and were very pleasant. The food was great, I recommend the Bergamot Sorbet for dessert.

It appears that this is the Sardi's of Milan - portraits of Italian celebrities cover the wall all over and the food passes muster to match the star power. I was first brought a basket of bread but no accompanying olive oil. The bread was basically good but i waited until I had plates to scrape up sauce and oil from for the bread. My first dish was a Spaghetti with anchovies which was quite delicious. The pasta may have been a tad bit *too* al dente even for me, and I like it al dente! My second dish was the Veal Piccata with Artichoke. They brought me a Veal Piccata with Olives instead - which was not on the menu....but in my confusion I found that an earlier verison of the menu had it Pizzaola style - tomato-sauce with olives. That's not on their current menu though so when I asked them where the artichokes were, pointing to an image from their digital menu, they said no more and removed the plate and in a few instant minutes later brought me exactly what I ordered. The artichokes were broiling hot, obviously they rushed this together but it was tasty. I finished off with a Pasteria Napoletana from the dessert display case. It was all good. I don't know if I'd necessarily come back though as I had higher expectations of the food and the service, though. But worth trying once!

The waiter told me as I was leaving "I hope you won't leave us a bad review" and I'm like bro you just screwed us both so....yeah bad review incoming. He's making the claim he had the right to charge us this this because it "wasn't on the menu" and I'm like well if it's not on the menu then maybe don't f****** serve it or tell us how much it costs. I pointed out to this asshat at the time, too, that he didn't tell us that it was going to be that much, which is AT THE LEAST a courtesy. I don't think my friend could afford it, but I could, and that's pretty unfortunate considering that he really screwed us over, and I did not expect to spend $60 on dinner tonight for 3 glasses of wine and a pizza with a TINY glass of grappa at the end. If you must stop, only for glass of wine or 2, but don't do anything more because apparently you will definitely get FUCKED on the bill, so definitely make sure you read your bill before you leave too.... You know what, in hindsight I just wouldn't come here. But I didn't get dessert that probably would of cost me $20 more. Luxury dining prices with McDonald's quality, shame because the evening started out so promising, but the female bartender left and that made it a man's world with single female diners. Poor dude is just sad to be going home alone after he heard I was single. Enjoy your blue-balls asshole, you can use the money you charged us, probably as a tip, to buy some smokes once you're done with your right hand. And yeah, here's my negative review you cheap SOB. Damn if you weren't the worst waiter in my 7 weeks of vacation. Enjoy and by the way congratulations because you're the first waiter in 7 weeks that has actually charged me for grappa. Everyone else has just been excited to share their culture but you saw dollar signs. What goes around comes around, son. At least I'm not you. Also, as an American, I still tip for good service. You could've gotten an honest tip, but you're just a douchebag who couldn't give two girls the heads up that you were going to charge us the equivalent of a cocktail for what was basically a shot. At least I made friend, everything else was a crapshoot.

The conchetta was quite dry and bland. Just a thin pork cutlet breaded that needed salt and/or a dipping sauce. And by the bone, still very raw. I informed the server, but they just dismissed me and said it's normal. Is it really normal to serve raw pork?? For it being their "signature dish", I was hoping for it to be better. Risotto was al dente and pretty good. We got 2 portions but when serving, we saw them save a portion for a table that didnt order any risotto. Nice, for that table. but it seems like we didn't get the full 2 portions.
