Al Garghet In Milano

Golden to perfection, thin, and well-breaded: every bite tastes like Milanese tradition done right. That fragrant crust that crunches under your fork is pure poetry. Here, the cotoletta isn't just a dish; it's the reason to return. Accompanied by a good glass of wine and a relaxing atmosphere. Recommended

Magical! It was a truly wonderful and absolutely perfect evening at Al Garghet! Located outside the city with its own large parking lot, the restaurant offers a self-contained, enchanting, and almost fairytale-like atmosphere. Decorated with great attention to detail, it's a true oasis – 10/10 for the ambiance. Food and service 10/10 The waiter was very attentive and served at the perfect pace. The Cotoletta alla Milanese and the pasta with fresh truffle, which we pre-ordered, were top-notch. The dessert was also excellent. The wine selection is extensive. Thank you also for the small birthday cake. It's best to reserve early – the restaurant is very popular.

Top-notch food, location, and service—one of the best restaurants in Lombardy.

Truly a beautiful place. Authentic Milanese cuisine in a very characteristic setting! Highly recommended.

Al Garhet restaurant is my absolute favorite in all of Milan! The staff pampers guests from the moment you arrive until you leave. The food is heavenly! It goes without saying that their signature dish is the elephant ear, but as soon as you enter, you're enveloped in the inviting aroma of saffron risotto! The portions are generous and meticulously crafted! The atmosphere is fabulous! It's like stepping into a fairytale! Between courses, it's wonderful to observe the minute details of the decor, and if you like, carefully examine the designs on the dessert menus! They're beautiful! We had the Ris e lat! Delicious!!

The best Milanese cutlet, friendly and helpful staff. I'll definitely be back.

Always a super positive culinary experience, you are never disappointed by them

A wonderful experience and the waiters were so sweet. Excellent food and superb cutlet!!!

We had dinner with the family. A warm and welcoming atmosphere. Excellent food, very good desserts. Service worthy of the venue, with attentive staff. Special mention to Matteo, who looked after us with extreme care throughout the evening. Highly recommended if you're looking for a unique and quiet place.

I was at Garghet about a month ago, and I have to say the experience left me quite torn, as there were aspects I really appreciated and others that were quite disappointing. I'll start with the positives: the place is truly beautiful, very characteristic, and has a warm and refined atmosphere. The staff was also extremely kind and friendly throughout the evening. I had booked on Wednesday morning for Friday evening and had mentioned in the notes that a friend of mine is allergic to shellfish. The restaurant called us on Friday around 2:00 PM to inform us that they don't normally serve shellfish, but that they couldn't guarantee 100% contamination-free food. Of course, I completely understand this, as no restaurant can offer an absolute guarantee. What left me a little perplexed was the timing: having booked well in advance, I would have preferred to be notified earlier, rather than a few hours before the dinner, especially considering I live far away and was already traveling. That said, the real sore point for me was the portion sizes compared to the prices. We ordered a tartare as an appetizer, followed by two first courses to share: ravioli and fried rice. Everything was truly delicious; you could taste the quality of the ingredients and the cooking, but honestly, I was shocked by the portions, especially the first courses. Six ravioli for a dish of that price seemed way too small. The thing that confused us the most was the tartare. Before going, I had spoken to two people who had already been to Garghet, and they absolutely recommended it, describing it as a "nice big plate," very generous. We also saw photos of the portions they had received a few months ago, and honestly, they looked very different from the one served to us, which was rather small. I don't know if the portion sizes have changed since then, but the difference was clear. I fully understand the concept of quality over quantity, and I don't expect huge portions. I've also been to Michelin-starred restaurants, and I know that portions are often smaller. However, personally, I've never left a restaurant after spending almost €50 a head and still felt the urge to go elsewhere because I wasn't even remotely satisfied. The point, in my opinion, is that a customer shouldn't feel "obliged" to order an appetizer, first course, second course, and dessert just to leave satisfied. I know full well that the cutlet is one of the restaurant's signature dishes and is very filling, but not everyone necessarily wants to order the most expensive dish on the menu to enjoy a full dinner. I also understand that Milan has different prices than other cities, but considering the restaurant's location, it still seemed a bit excessive. In summary: gorgeous place, really friendly staff, and very good food, but the portions were too small for the price.
