Ristorante Melara In Milano

My boyfriend and I moseyed our way up the street for our anniversary dinner. Melara is an authentic Italian (specifically Malanese) restaurant on one of the main streets outside of the city. The Waitress that helped us was very kind and attentive and I must note that her English was very fluent! Upon arrival, we were seated promptly! We made a same-day reservation! It was just wonderful, a very romantic little spot, "hidden gem" we stayed for. I have to say around 2 hours right up until they closed. There was another young couple that came in near the end of our meal and they sat and had dessert. I could tell that they were local. The atmosphere was wonderful. Soft music and lighting made for a romantic evening. Oh and the food it was really great. We started off with bread and homemade butter, there were three flavors. One was strawberry. The other was saffron and the other was something else and all three were just delicious and creamy and dreamy. We had a cheese platter. Kind of thing. Almost like a charcuterie board but elevated. Jam figs and fried gnocchi!? Yum! Anyway, I don't want to bore you with too much information, so please see the photos for more details on the food. We left happy and full 🥰

I've been to eat here, wonderful atmosphere, amazing staff but above all very good food, congratulations!

I went yesterday for lunch. The staff was friendly and the service was efficient and fast. Excellent food. Also great for a Sunday dinner or lunch. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is very beautiful, the food is delicious, and the service is very, very beautiful, friendly, and helpful. We made a reservation an hour before dinner, and upon arrival, the table was available. My family and I were visiting, about 6 people. I will repeat the visit. It is very beautiful ❤️

Every time I go to Melara, I feel right at home: pampered, cared for, and I eat as well as I do at home! The place is very warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly, kind, attentive, and capable. The dishes are all delicious: beautifully presented and made only with excellent raw materials that are treated admirably! Their platter is AMAZING, carefully presented, with excellent products and perfectly thought-out pairings! Another note of praise goes to the parmesan cream, which is simply amazing! Extensive wine list and a great selection of risottos, but not only that! Everything is truly excellent, reminding you of home-made flavors, but with a twist! The desserts are SUPERB and all homemade! DELICIOUS! Super satisfied as always! I usually go to Melara for dinner during the week or on the weekend, but this time we decided to have a lovely Sunday lunch! And it was a truly excellent idea! The location is warm, welcoming, and familiar, and the service is impeccable; everyone is super-trained, professional, helpful, and incredibly kind! The staff is TOP! This restaurant has now become a regular stop for when I want to eat well and be pampered! Eating at Melara has become a true treat for me!!! But what makes me come back EVERY TIME is definitely the food: everything is excellent, from the charcuterie and cheese platter with that swoon-worthy parmesan cream, to the delicious first courses, the second courses, and finally the desserts!! Truly a pleasure! Excellent ingredients, expertly used and presented even better! High-quality, seasonal ingredients, cooked and presented with great skill!!!! The menu also changes constantly: discover new flavors and new combinations! I also had the pleasure and honor of meeting the owner and chef, and the fact that he puts himself to the test personally only adds to this place's appeal! Needless to say, I will obviously be returning again and again and again!!!

They were helpful even though we went without a reservation. As tourists, we like to eat at places where locals go when we are in cities. This place is in the city, away from the touristic places. We were pleased and I recommend it to those who want to try it.

Fantastic cutlet and risotto, very courteous and excellent service, just the right amount of friendly but not at all impertinent, good timing, good cellar of both wines and spirits, price in line with what was offered

Nice place with great food and refined products!
