Milano In San michele al tagliamento

01/10/2025: We had a wonderful dinner here our first night in Venice. Excellent service and delicious food! We look forward to returning again soon.

01/10/2025: "If I could have one meal before I die, it would be here." We overheard another diner say this at the end of their meal, and I couldn't agree more. This was Venetian cuisine elevated to another level but still approachable and friendly. The potato mousse and mushroom risotto were spectacular... The mousse in particular was unlike anything I've ever had. We paired with a glass of Barbara de Alba at the recommendation of our server, a perfect pairing, with the earthy and black fruit notes of the wine blending seamlessly with the herbal notes of the risotto. We were recommended the restaurant by our hotel, and I can see why. I wanted to clarify a couple inaccurate comments from other reviewers: the restaurant clearly states in bold on the menu that a 5 euro per person cover charge and 10% service will be included automatically. There is, however, zero expectation or pressure to tip on top of that. Also, the restaurant does not have outdoor seating, but the indoor dining room was spacious and lovely. That's no reason to dock a star from a fantastic spot. We found the service to be perfectly paced. Those who are expecting fast food service or cheap eats should go to a trattoria. Slow down and enjoy a refined and friendly meal here.
