Awards Candidates 2019

29/10/2025: Wonderful place, very professional staff and the owners are also very helpful and friendly.

22/10/2025: Kanton's cuisine represents the perfect synthesis of the chef's personal and professional journey. Each dish blends the ancient traditions of Chinese gastronomy with the excellence of carefully selected local ingredients. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients meet exotic, high-quality ingredients from China, Japan, Thailand, and other Asian countries. Each recipe is the result of meticulous research: from traditional cooking techniques to meticulous presentation, every detail contributes to a harmonious experience, where flavors, aromas, and memories intertwine in an authentic and refined tale.

20/10/2025: Very disappointing experience. For the high prices, I expected much better quality, but unfortunately everything was bad — even the food wasn’t clean, and when I asked them to cook it again, it came the same. The service was unpleasant and the staff’s attitude wasn’t welcoming. No good food, no good service, and not even a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely not recommended.

19/10/2025: Understated elegance at its finest. The garden area feels like a secret sanctuary, tucked quietly into the pulse of Milan being lush, serene and almost cinematic in its calm.

21/10/2025: A discovery. Excellent food, without the Michelin-starred excess. Perfect service, but above all, a relaxed, almost informal atmosphere, which for a Michelin-starred restaurant is a real plus. Kindness and humor never hurt 😍

18/10/2025: A heavenly dinner. Refined atmosphere. Excellent service. Welcomed by the chef himself. It was like being in a dream. We'll be back soon. A romantic evening with sublime food.

30/09/2025: The food was truly exceptional, the best meal I tried in the WHOLE Italy so far ❤️ the stuff was welcoming, the food was great, lights and music was quiet enough to make an intimate atmosphere, I would rate this place 1000/10 and especially want to admit how attentive and helpful was our waiter Jean Pierre :)

27/09/2025: Incredible discovery menu, quality service, everyone is very attentive. Truly great!

19/09/2025: Aperitivo on the terrace during Tokyo Week: Japanese appetizers with truly delicious and unique cocktails, all Made in Japan. A sophisticated atmosphere and a beautiful view of Milan's central station, along with excellent service. It's a shame the prices are a bit high for an aperitivo, and the portions are... "minimal"! I'd love to try their Sunday brunch.

14/09/2025: With kindest stuff in Milan and incredible food quality this could easily be one of those places where you go to treat yourself and enjoy good company. Truly amazing place.

21/10/2025: Just 35 minutes from Milan, a classy restaurant serving traditional yet innovative dishes. I always choose the tasting menu, which changes frequently thanks to the chef's imagination and the seasonal ingredients he uses. The staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it (don't rush it, as everything is made to order and takes time).

13/10/2025: Visited for an event, as a group; excellent, friendly, and prompt service! Everything as per tradition and expectations!! Beautiful setting!

01/11/2025: Hands down the best sushi in Milan

26/10/2025: 2 people, 300 euros. I've said it all.

07/11/2025: Sparkling wine heaven and such good company! The owners clearly have passion for wine and we learned so much by stopping by. They also had some delicious orange wines to try (pictured). It’s the perfect place to try local Italian wines and snacks of all kinds, and the vibe is good!

06/11/2025: Exceptional selection of sparkling wines and such a helpful staff

13/10/2025: We've been coming here two or three times a year now. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the owner is friendly and always ready to offer that little extra something. The price is reasonable considering the type of restaurant. Recommended

03/10/2025: I've been wanting to try "La Refezione" for a while, partly because I live quite close by and the reviews I'd been hearing were overwhelmingly positive. Finally, I had the opportunity for lunch, and what can I say? It's simply impossible not to give this place top marks, enchanting in every way. Let's start with the location: the restaurant is located inside a sports club, nestled in a quiet, green area that feels like a true oasis of serenity. Not that Garbagnate is a major metropolis, but this corner is truly charming and lets you unwind as soon as you step inside. Inside, the rooms are incredibly spacious, airy, and furnished with a simple, modern taste that never feels oppressive or pretentious. There's elegance, but you immediately feel at ease. And then there's the welcome, the service. Here, we're truly beyond par. From the managers who welcome you with a sincere smile, to the attentive yet unobtrusive wait staff, to the chefs you can glimpse at work in the kitchen. Let's face it, you go to a restaurant to eat, but the setting and the people can transform a good meal into a memorable one, and they know it very well here. But let's get to the point: the food. We opted for the tasting menu. Unfortunately, it's not the same one I see now on the website, so my memory falters and I don't remember every single course in detail. But it doesn't matter, because the memory of the quality is crystal clear. Everything was excellent, with a couple of peaks of pure excellence. The first course, a dish with shrimp, porcini mushrooms, and potatoes: a masterful balance, with each ingredient absorbing and reflecting the flavors of the others, a true harmony. The second course, which literally stunned me with its simplicity, was the beef fillet baked with oil, rosemary, and poached garlic. It might seem like a "banal" dish, almost home-cooked. And yet it was a masterpiece. Perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful meat that melted in your mouth, and a matching olive oil that just had to be there! Paradoxically, it's precisely from these essential dishes that you understand everything: the absolute quality of the ingredients and the skill of those in the kitchen. If I were to split hairs, perhaps the three-meat lasagna, delicious as it may be, would have benefited from a minute less in the oven to be perfect. But it's truly a minor detail in an impeccable journey. The philosophy that permeates this place is that of a cuisine rooted in tradition, yet capable of reinterpreting and enriching it with flavor and respect, without distorting it (which wouldn't be a bad thing in itself, but it needs to be done in a way that gives it meaning, not just for gratuitous showmanship). In short, I hope I'll have the opportunity to return soon. I recommend it without the slightest reservation. Truly well done.

26/09/2025: You can dine there without paying attention to the price of the dishes, and you'll have the best possible evening: the atmosphere, the impeccable service, the beauty of the dishes. Everything is precise, delicate, designed to please the eye and the palate. You feel like a real chef in pastry there. Several small rooms with ultra-careful, pastel, charming decor. It's pretty, but pretty! Exactly on par with the rest of the hotel and the rooms, which are like little colorful jewel boxes. The cuisine is fairly conventional, but it's generous and so well presented that it's almost difficult to sink your fork into it. The desserts are too trompe l'oeil/white chocolate for my taste.

24/09/2025: We had a fabulous dinner at Rubacuori. The best risotto I have ever had. The food and service were excellent and we loved that the restaurant was beautiful and quiet. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Milan!

14/10/2025: Unfortunately for me, I'm not qualified to judge a Michelin-starred restaurant. This is the second time I've had the pleasure of dining at D'O with my family, to capture two important moments in my life. Everything was a complete success. For those who appreciate refined cuisine, cleanliness, and punctual service, this is the place to be. Excellent vegetarian options. Let yourself be pampered.

13/10/2025: An extraordinary experience from start to finish. Impeccable service, attentive yet discreet, and cuisine that combines creativity, elegance, and authenticity. Each dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, with top-quality ingredients and meticulously presented. Special thanks to the sommelier Claudio, expert and extremely kind: he guided us with passion and great professionalism through truly surprising wine pairings, making the experience even more complete and enjoyable. A memorable lunch, definitely worth repeating!
