Belle Donne Bistrot In Milano

A true gem in Milan! ❤️ Everything was absolutely perfect, from the decor to the food, and even the service. The restaurant is magnificent, with exquisite decor and an intimate, elegant ambiance reminiscent of the 1920s. Soft music plays throughout the meal, creating a lovely atmosphere without ever hindering conversation. The staff is delightful and exceptionally efficient. From the person who greeted us at the entrance to the servers throughout the meal, everyone was incredibly kind and responsive. We ordered a glass of wine, and it arrived within a minute! As for the food, it was simply exceptional. The dishes are sophisticated, original, refined, and perfectly executed. The menu also allows you to choose according to your appetite: after enjoying absolutely divine arancini as a starter, we wanted to save room for dessert, so we opted for the "first courses," which are smaller than the main courses. It was exactly what we were looking for. I chose the pistachio pasta with shrimp tartare: a true delight. My partner had the tuna tataki, which was equally incredible. You can really taste the work and thought behind each dish. And then the desserts… WOW! 😍 Absolutely divine! I chose a chocolate sphere: the waiter came to pour hot chocolate directly onto the table, melting the shell and revealing the ice cream inside. The spectacle was as beautiful as the dessert was delicious. A truly exquisite moment! Honestly, everything was perfect from beginning to end. It's without a doubt one of my favorite restaurants in Milan, and I would be willing to return to the city just for the chance to eat there again. A place I wholeheartedly recommend!

Super nice for lunch . Low key a bit touristy but worth it and not expensive . Food was amazing

Excellent restaurant with delicious dishes and excellent desserts. The atmosphere is welcoming and refined, and the service is very friendly. Recommended!

A very beautiful and quaint location, friendly staff, and a varied menu. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by the risotto alla milanese, which I requested without the ossobuco because of an allergy. The risotto, in addition to having a bitter aftertaste, seemed to be made with pre-cooked rice and wasn't well-creamed, a real shame considering it's one of Milan's most iconic dishes. Furthermore, despite the absence of the ossobuco, the dish was charged full price, with no charge for the missing ingredient.

Excellent team, all the staff and especially a great waiter Oscar, very kind and professional, I recommend you go to this restaurant

High-quality ingredients, cooked to perfection and simply to enhance their flavor, all for a very reasonable price. My husband and I went twice out of three nights in Milan. A huge thank you to the Chef; we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Thank you for the impeccable service, and thank you so much, Lola, for your professionalism and kindness.

A truly fantastic experience! Everything was taken care of down to the smallest detail, from the welcome to the presentation of the dishes. The portions were truly generous, prepared with quality ingredients, and above all, delicious. The value for money is absolutely right, especially considering the excellent quality of the cuisine and the location, quite close to Milan's wonderful Navigli canals. A special thanks goes to Oscar❤️, the waiter who looked after us throughout the evening: delightful, extremely professional, always courteous, and attentive to our every need. With his smile and helpfulness, he made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to eat well, in an elegant setting, with impeccable service, Belle Donne Bistrot is a choice I recommend without a doubt. We'll definitely be back! ❤️

A lovely and pleasant place where we had a delightful dinner. Beautiful presentation, excellent dishes (stuffed zucchini blossoms, well-prepared and flavorful risotto/ossi buco). Very friendly table service and a lively atmosphere with a keyboard playing well-known Italian songs and a few hits as well. One minor complaint about the "maître d'hôtel" (who greeted us, seated us, and took our payment) who didn't manage a single smile or utter more than two words... a shame!

Oscar served our table excellently and politely! He even offered me a vegetarian option for the main course, which wasn't on the menu! Everything was delicious, as always. Recommended.

I came here a few times during my trip to Milan. Tried a few different dishes (see photos), all very good. There’s a great vibe, the staff are friendly, food is delicious. Once a month there’s a piano player that plays there on a Wednesday.
