🌟A refined dinner in the heart of Milan🌟
The Don Carlo restaurant in the legendary Grand Hotel et de Milan gave me an unforgettable evening, where every detail — from the interior to the final chord of dessert — was impeccable.
Cuisine: Let me start by saying that even the bread basket here is a work of art: fresh, with a crispy crust and a variety of varieties, it perfectly prepared the taste buds for the further gastronomic journey. Delicate ricotta with its creamy texture and slight saltiness conquered from the first bite. The Russian salad, served with an elegant accent, retained its traditional charm, but acquired sophisticated notes. The artichoke, cooked to perfection, surprised with a combination of crunch and softness, and the lobster... Oh, that lobster! Juicy meat, emphasized by an exquisite sauce, became the main character of the evening.
Wines: The Don Carlo wine list is a separate delight. The 2020 Barolo I chose was the perfect companion for the dinner: rich, with velvety tannins and ripe berry notes, it complemented each dish harmoniously.
Service: The staff showed the highest level of professionalism - attentive but unobtrusive, with a deep knowledge of the menu. Each recommendation of the waiter was accurate, and the service was impeccably fast.
Atmosphere: The interior of the restaurant seems to transport you to the era of luxury of the 19th century: elegant furniture, soft lighting, antique mirrors and fabrics in pastel colors create an atmosphere of coziness and elegance.
Don Carlo is not just a restaurant, but a real journey for gourmets and aesthetes. If you are looking for a place where history, taste and service merge into perfect harmony, feel free to book a table here. I will definitely come back on my next visit to Milan!

The first evening we spent in Milan: After having a disappointing starter elsewhere, we made an online reservation at Don Carlos and received a confirmation straight away. With a bit of luck we found the small alley (but didn't check that it belonged to the Grand Hotel et de Milan). The place is actually a little pearl in this metropolis, where not many people get lost. Although we weren't necessarily looking for haute cuisine, we felt we were treated very well here. Admittedly, the decor is a bit dark and mystical, but still pleasant. The food was excellent, the dessert was a poem. The cauliflower ritual was something different, but totally passionate :-) Thank you very much for this lovely evening.

Location unica, si respira la storia dei personaggi che hanno soggiornato al Grand Hotel. Tornato dopo tanti anni noto che la qualità si è alzata notevolmente. Servizio preciso, attento, un’esperienza da non perdere. Piatti davvero buoni, sopratutto la tartare è eccezionale, mai provata così buona. Complimenti a tutti e un ringraziamento al Maitre
