This place is tidy, and nice, and welcoming and clean and... lots of adjectives, none related to…read morethe food. I think the decor is great, if you want to grab lunch or come by to read the paper while sipping coffee, this place has plenty of room and a great selection of sweet and savory items. The lunch menu is extensive, with great salad options, seafood dishes or make-your-own-sandwich type of options. The vibe is that of a place serving regional food, selected to give you more options than you can hope for. Even the chocolates are high-end, coming from a chocolatier in Piemonte, and still reasonably priced. My "dose" ran out unreasonably fast, though, but that's a different story. This is a new establishment, they're still ironing out the kinks, but I'm sure you'll have a great time for a quality snack or meal, and when in doubt, the personnel can suggest the best option. Enjoy.

The interior location was very nice and you get to watch the bartender as he mixes drinks. We ordered the margarita pizza. My daughter said, " this crust is really good". We also ordered the Osso Buco because of other recommendations here on yelp. It was so delicious. The risotto was creamy and yummy and the lamb was falling off the bone. So good! My son ordered the carbonara. It was so creamy and the bacon inside is so delicious. The bruschetta .... Ahhhh!!!! That was to die for. The toast was so crunchy and the tomatoes tasted so good. I'm still thinking about it! I highly recommend eating here if you're ever in Milan

There's lots of mosquitoes in the area, we got bit a few times during dinner. We all got the risotto but in different flavours. I got the mushroom risotto, very flavourful. Got the Campari drink as it seems to be the popular choice. They do charge a sit down free and as well as for water. This was probably one of the more expensive meals I've had while visiting Milan. Server was amazing, she was so attentive!

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.

A tip of the cappello to Yelp friend Francesco for recommending Zio Pesce. It is a lovely upscale…read moreyet casual restaurant. Zio Pesce means "uncle fish" and the decor is hip with fishing related objects on the walls, white table clothes and at least one waiter who translated the menu for us, answered all questions and ensured that not just the meal, but the evening was terrific. We started with a fabulous fish ceviche. Very fresh. Lovely flavor. Next we shared an order of bauletti. Bauletti means little trunks (think suitcases, not swimming). They are little squares filled, in this case, with cod. The bauletti are then cooked in a tomato sauce and bechamel sauce like you'd bake lasagna. It was great. The secondo was crispy octopus (polpo croccante). The octopus wasn't crispy but was grilled and coated with toasted bread crumbs and served on potatoes and greens. What great combination. All of the this was accompanied by cold, crisp lovely vermentino from Sardinia. For dessert we had super fresh strawberries with a lovely sauce I can no longer recall except to say that my mouth is watering thinking about it. This was a great meal and a great evening in a lovely ambience. Zio Pesce is the kind of restaurant you'd drive across town for in Washington or Atlanta or Toronto -- if you could get a reservation . Which brings me to the final point: you need to make reservation if you want to eat at Zio Pesce. The gentleman who answered the phone switched to English as soon as he heard my bad Italian.

I completely missed that they had Barnacles, otherwise I would order them! I end up ordering ravioli filled with cod fish and delicious sauce and calamari on top! Tiramisu has interesting twist! Warm coffee cold cream! Quite nice, I would suggest you order only small portion! Orichetti was perfectly al-dente delicious sauce! I would recommend for foodies!

Complete with a beautiful garden and the finest of arts, we thought... time to rejuvenate! Our assorted meat appetizer was heaven in the sliced form. Salami and prosciutto and everything nice. Only in Italy can the preserved meat-form reach taste sensations like this. Add a bit of bread and extra virgin and you have reached the pinnacle of appetizers. Then, my Cesar salad took fresh organic lettuce, raw egg, anchovies, and perhaps a touch of Worcestershire, salt and pepper, combined in an emulsion of wonderful to bring taste to a whole new level. Even more, the taste was propelled by Grana Padano, the second best cheese on the planet - all due respect to Parmigianio Reggianio. Topped off with espresso, our two hour lunch filled us with energy to renew our shopping excursion. We look forward to returning!
