We had a wonderful dinner last friday, served by the best and friendliest waiter, we have ever had. He was not just friendly, also very very helpful by advising us what to eat!
He deserves an extra star🌟:) grazie mille

The conservative opening hours of Milan’s more traditional eateries became only more stringent post covid. MILAN eats early and it is not uncommon that a restaurant closes its kitchen as early as 10pm. Last night was the last of seven of Milan Design week. On leaving an event at 22hrs we walked the dark MILAN streets hungry and in need of rest. We called in to all and many restaurants along our way only to me met with the unwelcome and increasingly familiar “chiuso’ - we’re closed - delivered across the full spectrum from polite and friendly to just rude! That is until we came to.… PANE & TULIPANI!
To say the the staff here love their job and welcome you with infectious enthusiasm is an understatement! Not only were we welcomed in, at damn neat 23h by the time we reached them, it was a full welcome with no feeling of haste.
Our water was incredibly personable and informed. He suggested puntarella with anchovies that turned out to be finished! We switched to the delicious artichoke only to be surprised when he arrived triumphant with a plate of punteralla they had quickly whipped up for us.… And on the house! On most first nights in italy i crave a simple plate is spaghetti pomodoro ( tomato sauce) … it was not on the menu last night yet, without missing a beat, our waiter made the dish happen for me while sharing his love of that simple dish. Our dinner remained simple.. Two plates of pasta, vongole and tomato, a glass iof white wine and a great derivitave of grappa from Piedmont our waiter insisted we discover.
Despite the hour we never felt rushed. The whole experience was superbly typical of a Milan of yesteryear that thankfully lives on. Thank you and congratulations to all of the team for an unexpected experience of great food and welcome. The cherry on the cake was that I left my jacket behind and only discovered it when we had just reached home. My brother turned back to walk to collect it.… only to meet our waiter who had come half way to meet him!!! BRAVO PANE & TULIPANI!!!

We ended up here by chance and had a very nice evening. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and fun. Prices were reasonable and we even got complimentary pizza, fruit, and a very tasty limoncello 🫶
First of all, Dino, who served us, was very friendly and pleasant, and we had a very comfortable time. The other staff members were also attentive and kind.
I noticed that there was some water left inside the wine glass, as if it had just been washed. It made me wonder whether it hadn’t been properly dried or wiped, which was a bit concerning.
As for the food, I have visited many Italian restaurants, and I felt it was average overall. I ordered a steak, but it had quite a lot of sinew and was difficult to eat, which was disappointing. However, the boiled vegetables and the puntarelle with anchovy salad were very good. I also felt that the price range was reasonable.
OUT OF THIS WORLD. even if it's not on the menu, they'll make it for you...truffle with anything you want. You name it.
