Malastrana Rossa In Milano

Very good authentic Italian food and exquisite drinks

Excellent experience at Pino's for 14 years. The staff is extremely friendly, professional, and always polite, making you feel immediately at ease. The pizza is simply delicious: high-quality ingredients and authentic flavors truly make the difference. You can immediately sense the attention and care put into the preparation. A special thanks to the owner, a truly kind and helpful person who treats each customer with great respect and attention. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent pizza!

Pino is a classic. His kindness, however, is a rarity around here, in Milan. 💪🏻

Last night I wanted to be a tourist in my own hometown and tried "PINO," a restaurant I've passed hundreds of times. I wasn't expecting much, and the owner was incredibly friendly and the waiters were exceptional, but it's still a place for foreigners. The pizza was adequate to decent, 8 pieces of sausage, 4 pieces of bell pepper, I had a little onion added (I didn't pay for it). Moretti red beer was 8 euros, the pizza 14 (add 4 extra pieces of sausage), and the cover charge was 3 euros: 50 euros for two. You don't pay for what you eat, but for sitting on the sidewalk on Corso Garibaldi. That's fair enough!

The food was good, the waiting time was short, but above all it was the young waitress who made the visit very welcoming, considering that many restaurants are not always very nice to tourists. However, one of the main dishes on the menu was not Milanese

We stumbled upon this restaurant quite by chance – and to be honest, the 3.9 rating initially made us skeptical. However, after two days there, I can say quite clearly: this rating in no way reflects the actual quality. The restaurant was very busy at all times – both at lunch and dinner. Despite this high volume, the service was remarkably structured and professional. The staff was attentive, quick, and always present without being intrusive. Orders were taken promptly and served just as quickly. We were particularly impressed by the efficiency: as soon as a table became available, it was completely reset within minutes – with fresh, white tablecloths, clean and tidy. This speaks to a very well-organized system behind the scenes. The owner/manager was also constantly present, attentively walking through the outdoor area and clearly committed to ensuring everything ran smoothly. This level of control and dedication is rare. The food was consistently excellent: very tasty, of solid quality, and attractively presented. No over-the-top "showy dining," but honest, well-prepared cuisine – exactly what you'd want. One possible reason for the lower overall rating could be the location: The outdoor seating area is right next to a busy street. Those seeking absolute peace and quiet might find this bothersome. However, for us, this is part of the vibrant atmosphere of a city like Milan and in no way detracts from the restaurant's quality. Conclusion: An excellently managed restaurant with strong service, good organization, and very solid food. The current rating of 3.9 is, in our opinion, incomprehensible – realistically, this restaurant clearly belongs in the 4.5 to 5.0 range.

Three dishes: pizza, pasta, and risotto. All three were amazing. The restaurant was packed, but the service was friendly and fast... good value for money considering Milan.

We had lunch at Pino's this Sunday. There was nothing to complain about in terms of the food: I ordered the classic spaghetti with tomato and basil, and it was truly excellent, perfectly cooked, a sign of great attention to the ingredients. Unfortunately, the overall experience was ruined by the service and the ambiance. The place is very crowded, with the tables too close together; we found ourselves next to a very noisy children's table, which made it difficult to have a calm conversation. Furthermore, the staff could improve their customer service: the waitress remained fixed at the table with her notebook in hand waiting for our selection, putting unnecessary and annoying pressure on us while we were perusing the menu. In short: the food is very good, but the atmosphere and service management don't allow for a truly relaxing lunch. Ideal for a quick meal, less so for a romantic getaway.

VERY GOOD ESTABLISHMENT GOOD FOOD AND SERVICE UNIQUE PIZZA. A TRUE ORIGINAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT. BRAVO!!!

The place is worth it just for the waiter Alessandro, very friendly and easy-going: number one!
