The restaurant is on a side street near the busy (with tourists from every corner of the globe) Duomo area. It is easy to find. It has a charming decor (though it is a bit darker and more romantically appointed than other area restaurants, as well as having an underground and almost bordello vibe). It is also larger than it might appear, as there are both ground floor, as well as a lower eating area seemingly for larger groups, as well as used during busier times. We have only eaten on the ground floor level. The menu offers ample variety, but is not what one would term extensive. It tends upscale, though not extremely costly (arguably average to slightly above average fine restaurant prices), but portions are on the smaller side. They have a specialty in dishes augmented and emphasizing the use of truffles, of which we have sampled several times. Over the course of our several meals we've had every pasta and risotto offered with truffle shavings. Of the appetizers we can recommend the meatballs, which are delicate and small, the bacon wrapped shrimp, and the octopus. Their desserts are also not the run of the mill and warrant tastings. All and all, we will always repeat here when in Milan. Frankly, though their Yelp average score is pretty good, we were surprised they do not have a higher Yelp average score.

We were looked down upon and the staff pretended not to know English and laughed. They did not understand who we were. It was a classless representation of a restaurant and was honestly embarrassing from start to finish. The hostess at the front abandoned her post the entire night to fight with her boyfriend the waiter, and the butcher in the back kept appearing on main floor with his gloves still on touching plates that went to customers. Other customers that were Italian locals and regulars to the establishment kept apologizing on their behalf. Change your ways, grazie!!

When we get there, It seems like a completely different place, perhaps even changed the location. Menu definitely not as good as last time. Discussing it with hotel concierge afterwards, I wasn't certain if it was the same restaurant but he insisted there was only one Bolognese. On the stand alone basis, hor d'oeuvres and anti pasta slightly disappointing but main course with sea bass and fruits di mare were excellent. Service was very slow and disappointing. They made a mistake on the bill too.

It's in the Galleria where you can people watch. The bread, the superb olive oil were good starter to the meal. Their famous appetizer was superb with multiple levels of flavors. The spegetto was excellent, well balanced. The steak was small portion but superb quality over quantity. The vegetarian main was small, but mutiple levels of taste. The desserts were excellent besides being pretty. Overall, it was a little more pricy than your standard Italian places, but probably not more than a fancy non-michellin place in the U.S. I'd go there again when I get a chance. People who know and value good food will appreciate this place.
