Il Mago In Milano

14/03/2026: I've had really bad gut issues a couple of hours after eating here. And since the only other thing I had was a Cornetto, I'm pretty sure it was caused by the sea food pasta. The staff was super nice and really charismatic, the dishes looked great and I thought it was so cool you could decide between different sizes. Plus the food came super fast. But something in my pasta had gone bad. I also thought the scallops tasted a bit weird but could've been anything. Well, apparently it wasn't normal. Some of the scallops didn't open at all, I just put them aside. But maybe that should've tipped me off

09/03/2026: The pasta with potatoes, mussels, and pecorino cheese was delicious and well-cooked; perhaps a little too salty, but the pecorino balanced the dish well. The mussels were good and plentiful, though not particularly memorable (which is fine). The desserts (mascarpone cream with strawberry compote) were excellent, as was the pasta, all homemade and truly delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly, never overbearing, with a demeanor perfectly in keeping with the restaurant's informal and cheerful atmosphere. I dined when the restaurant was almost empty, which probably helped with both the wait and the attention to the table. The atmosphere is very refined and pleasant. It's probably also a rather touristy place, but it's still a welcoming place where you'll enjoy spending time.
