Il Bancale In Milano

09/12/2024: We have always gone to this place for a drink after dinner and we almost always had a good time, nice location and prices in the Milanese average. This time we organized a dinner with colleagues to celebrate Christmas (three-course meat/fish menu for €65 including a bottle of wine for every 4 people). The food itself was average, nothing outstanding but we didn't expect anything more. However, I would like to point out two points ONE: We start with a "welcome" glass of wine which we later discovered was not included in the menu (probably our fault for not having asked). Aside from the price and the fact that it was not included in the menu, the wine was undrinkable. Nobody expects to drink Sassicaia al calie, but not even a discount wine that has been open for days and left out of the fridge. SECOND: dessert. Panettone and pandoro inedible, dry and tasteless. Given the price of €65 per person, at least have the decency to bring an edible dessert. In summary, an experience not to be repeated. A place that is certainly good in the Milanese area for going for a drink after dinner but for dinner it is absolutely to be avoided, at least as regards fixed menu group dinners.

04/12/2024: The place is nice but a little too dark (depending on where you are you might struggle to read the menu). The normal service, there are a lot of people so you have to wait a moment for them to notice your presence but then they are quick to serve you. The drink was watered down but the wine was good
