Ristorante Gioia Mia In Melzo

18/07/2025: A kitsch and unglamorous place. As you enter, you're greeted by the original armor of Lancelot, the famous Knight of the Round Table. The interior is no less impressive: shelves packed with knick-knacks and various furnishings, including a proud-looking eagle statue, a miniature sailing ship ready to set sail into the unknown, and even a replica of a fish fossil. A charm reminiscent of a treasure trove of memories. However, the atmosphere quickly becomes... torrid. The air conditioning, if present, seems more like a summer memory than a current reality, leaving guests immersed in an enveloping heat that turns dinner into a mini-test of endurance. Making the experience even more memorable is the persistent presence of a swarm of mosquitoes, which join the diners with perhaps excessive hospitality. That said, it's only right to highlight the quality of the food served: excellent, high-quality, and expertly prepared fish. The service and welcome are attentive and professional. Prices are average for Milan.

08/04/2025: Tornato in questo ristorante che però a distanza di un anno non ha cambiato il menù (prevalentemente a base di pesce). Ambiente un po’ cupo (arredamento scuro), staff cortese, cibo discreto. Gustato come piatto principale un trancio di spada alla messinese ( con olive, capperi e pomodorini) preceduto da un antipasto di code di gamberi e calamaretti serviti tipo insalata di mare con senape, olive, ecc. Con acqua, coperto, bicchiere di vino e sconto the fork del 20% si sono pagati 35 euro a testa.
