Don Lisander In Milano

22/05/2026: A very disappointing experience at the DanielCanzian restaurant. I had booked about a month in advance, communicating my severe allergies to fish and hazelnuts in extremely clear and detailed terms. For this reason, I expected attention, organization, and, above all, coordination between the dining room and kitchen. Unfortunately, the exact opposite happened. Once I was seated at my table, the waiter proved completely unaware of my allergies. When I mentioned them, he knew nothing about them and had to go and inform the chef with a note written on the spot. This was truly worrying, considering these were serious allergies, communicated well in advance. The chef, evidently uninformed, hadn't prepared any real alternatives, so much so that some dishes didn't even arrive and were simply skipped over. Even the planned aperitif was cancelled due to the management of my allergies, but no suitable alternative was offered. Furthermore, I noticed a different attitude toward me compared to other customers seated at the bar, likely due to my age. Being younger, the staff was decidedly colder and more distant in their attitude, while at other tables the attention seemed different. The most unpleasant part came at the end of the dinner. When we asked for coffee, the staff invited us to choose digestifs directly from the trolley, without ever presenting us with a price list or specifying that they would be charged. Considering that the micro-pastries were planned and offered on the menu, it all clearly implied that this was a courtesy gesture to make up for the inconvenience of the evening. Instead, when it came to the bill, I found myself charged €40 for a drink, without any prior communication or transparency regarding the costs. I find both the superficial handling of allergies and the lack of clarity shown regarding the final bill to be very serious. From a restaurant of this caliber, I expected professionalism, customer care, and fairness—qualities that, unfortunately, were completely lacking during this experience.

Each course impressed us with its balance, precision, and refined flavors. The wine list is very extensive. I truly applaud this restaurant for introducing younger diners to haute cuisine at affordable prices.
