I stayed in Milan for one night and, after hearing excellent reviews, decided to dine here with my wife. The restaurant is cozy and family-run, with only the mother and her son taking care of everything, which gives it a very personal and authentic touch.
Before I mention the food, I want to highlight the hospitality. In many touristic places in Italy, we felt that if you don’t speak the language, people can sometimes be unfriendly or impatient. However, this was a wonderful exception. The son was incredibly welcoming, kind, and always trying to explain and help, which made us feel at home right away.
Now to the food — simply the best we had in Italy. As a welcome, they served us bread with extra virgin olive oil, and I can honestly say I had never tasted oil of such high quality in my life. We ordered the tuna tartare with lime and mint, the tortelli with cheese and pear, and the spaghetti with fresh lobster. Each dish was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.
This is not the cheapest place in Milan, but it is absolutely worth it for the quality and experience. If you love good food and appreciate genuine hospitality, I strongly recommend visiting — you will not regret it.

Having just arrived in Milan we took a recommendation from the Man in Seat 61 and tried this beautiful little restaurant near to our hotel. We were not disappointed because the food was delicious and the service was very friendly and welcoming. If we return to Milan I hope we will be able to eat here again. I had the Milanese risotto it was gorgeous and everyone else in my family also loved their meals.

We had our first dinner in Italy at this little gem of a restaurant last night and we couldn’t have been happier. All of us thought our pasta dishes were the best we ever had. The staff were so kind and recommended fantastic wine pairings. The place is beautiful and we highly recommend

A perfect meal. I thought I was home and my grandfather had cooked dinner....and if you knew my nonno , you know he was an excellent cook!
quiet, off the beaten path, and a lovely atmosphere.
Carissima ordered the stuffed scallops, stuffed salmon with fennel and orange and the chocolate soufflé with ice cream.
I had the assorted cheese, the tortellini with beef and tomatoes and the apple pie with ice cream.
The waiter even understood my limited italian and brought the coffee just the way we wanted it!
It would be a difficult task to find any fault with any of our dishes...perhaps a touch more salt on the scallops....but im really nit picking....every thing was delicious, even the olive oil they put on the table to dip bread in was exceptional.
For reference, I come from a big Italian family and eating good food is essential; its what we do; we all can cook because it IS that important; we know what's good....and Noblesse Oblige is exceptional!
I neglected to take a photo of the tortellini, mi dispiace!🙏

Het restaurant ligt vlakbij het Centraal Station. We werden zeer gastvrij ontvangen en bediend. Ze beheersen hier de Italiaanse keuken op hoog niveau. Elk gerecht was goed van smaak. De prijs/kwaliteit verhouding is heel goed.
