Ristorante Daniel In Milano

My partner and I booked the "Giovani Forchette" menu for lunch, €50 for five courses. It wasn't indicated that cover charge and bread weren't included, so we were charged an additional fee for these. Furthermore, one of the courses was a small pastry (in addition to the main dessert), a choice that seemed a bit clever. Final bill: 2 "Giovani Forchette" menus 50x2 + cover charge and bread 12 + water 12 + (a glass of champagne and a glass of classic method with a Venetian cicchetto) 25 + 14 = €163. Dishes tasted: Breadsticks with creamed cod as a cicchetto paired with the glass, rather unremarkable scallops au gratin, parmesan rice with licorice and meat stock, suckling pig with sweet and sour sauce, mascarpone ice cream with coffee granita, and small pastries. All the dishes were good, but only the rice with licorice really impressed me. The cod breadsticks were very greasy, and one of the cookies from the small bakery was undercooked—a minor detail, but you wouldn't expect it from a restaurant that aspires to a certain level (perhaps the lack of attention is due to the "budget" menu?). The service was the most disappointing aspect. The maître d' tried to be brilliant, but he made one gaffe after another, coming across as anything but courteous or welcoming: he couldn't open the cork on a sparkling wine, he brought me an already opened champagne instead of the one I requested, and in general he seemed very agitated. The other waiter wasn't any more precise: he didn't bring me bread (which I had to ask for), he poured water hastily, and when he had to explain two dishes, I couldn't understand him very well, both because of his low voice and his uncertain Italian. Even the stained placemat certainly didn't help the overall impression. In conclusion: We didn't eat badly, but we didn't have a memorable meal either. The unexpected costs and lackluster service left a bitter taste in our mouths. Perhaps the difference in treatment is due to the "Young Forks" menu? In any case, it shouldn't be.

Beautiful. Friendly staff. Pleasant location. Right in the center.

Food was good and nicely presented, a few worthy mentions include the cuttlefish balls, fig & scallop dish and the risotto. We had the wine pairing which was done nicely, albeit lacked a dessert wine pairing. Service was friendly enough although could have been more attentive.

We tried the "young forks" dinner: a lovely evening spent at the counter overlooking the kitchen. Attentive service, very good food, a quiet location, and a relaxing atmosphere. Recommended.

Impeccable. If I have guests and want to win easily, even with refined and curious people, I always make a great impression at Danile's. I'll be back, and I highly recommend it.

Great experience and a truly „Iconic Menu“, that reflected Daniel‘s journey as a chef. Thank you for an enjoyable evening. It will be a must for our next trip to Milan.

Dinner with friends 5-course Venetian haute cuisine menu. Minimal elegant location but unfortunately quite noisy. Unfortunately we were given the table with the plastic placemats we were told to appreciate the table. Excellent quality dishes and special flavours. I would go back but at the round table at the back of the room which I recommend reserving if there are more than 2 people.

Locale gradevole, personale molto garbato . Abbiamo pranzato alla carta e sono letteralmente impazzita per la tempura di pescatrice. In genere i piatti assaggiati sono stati tutti di nostro gradimento perché finalmente uno chef che ricerca il gusto nella semplicità. Un complimento speciale a Mattia il caposala. Torneremo sicuramente

Unique experience! Nothing else to add. Recommended

ho fatto il menù degustazione "cena per due giovani forchette". Il menùcdegustazione prevede che tu pranzi al banco che affaccia sulla cucine, il chè è molto caratteristico in quanto si vedono gli chef all'azione, ed è molto interessante. Lo staff, partendo dalla sala, allo chef Daniel sono super gentili e cordiali. Ambiente elegante ma non che crea disagio. Sul cibo ci sono poche parole. 2 antipati , un primo e un secondo, e il dessert, tutto a base di pesce che richiama un pò la cucina tipica veneta. Qualità e servizio ottimi.
