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
