L'Altro Luca e Andrea In Milano

10/02/2025: RESTAURANT REVIEW - RATANA’ - @ratana The restaurant is located inside a historic building from the early 1900s set in the futuristic setting of the renovated Garibaldi/Porta Nuova/Isola district. It is a well-known restaurant in Milan, celebrated for its modern Italian cuisine with a focus on high-quality, seasonal ingredients. The restaurant, in the skilled hands of Chef and patron CESARE BATTISTI - @cesarebattisti - is particularly famous for its creative dishes that blend traditional Milanese and Italian flavors with modern culinary techniques. - OUR REVIEW In a cozy atmosphere, with industrial-oriented interiors and gems like the counter made with marble from the Milan Cathedral, RATANA’ feels elegantly casual, warm and welcoming. The service, attentive and professional is lightened by a friendly approach that makes diners “feel home”. The food, main protagonist here, is everything you may expect for, and even more: great seasonal products, perfectly combined to deliver pure joy in both, taste and textures. Explosions of flavors, a constant in every dish. Traditional recipes from all over the peninsula, Milanese oriented dishes and Grandma’s preferred ones all of them loudly telling diners with a modernly pitched voice: “enjoy the Italian food!”. ⭐️ NEW ENTRY IN THE Y&SFOOD!

10/12/2024: Location molto bella, atmosfera friendly, anche internazionale. Poco adatto a cene di gruppo. Servizio attento e molto discreto, ottimo. Piatti legati alla tradizione milanese molto gustosi, ben bilanciati, con qualche chicca gastronomica. Ottima attenzione alle materie prime. Una bella serata priva di stress, con un menù appagante. Costo nella norma per la qualità.
