Rosso Magenta In Milano

Excellent from every point of view. Spectacular location, beautiful environment, good food, excellent selection of beers and well-structured cocktail list. Highly recommended.

Very pleasant little restaurant, a menu not too extensive but the advantage of good fresh produce, simple wine list. We ate there twice and always good and simple.

Excellent service. Our server even added the WiFi password to our phones to make things easier

A classic not to be missed... Whether you stop by for a mid-morning cafe, a business lunch, an afternoon aperitif or a drink at the end of the evening, Bar Magenta continues to be the place of reference in Milan... The first time I entered was 40 years ago, and since then it has always been a Milanese pleasure. Well done!

It's a nice place, it's good there and the caipirinha is fantastic

Historic bar with always open kitchen. I tried a toasted sandwich and it was good and well structured. Prices are normal. The place has many curious things to see inside.

Historical place with traditional Italian food. Servise is not very fast, but very kind. For slow relaxation eating and drinking good cocktails

A very extensive menu of sandwiches and dishes for a bar but where the service leaves something to be desired: the waitress took ten minutes to take our order. Fortunately the quality of the food makes up for it all. The area is next to the main road and has afternoon shade.

A very colorful place, the establishment is very authentic.

Over the last forty years, the legendary Bar Magenta has gone through some changes in its furnishings and type of patrons: the billiard table, present in the main room at the back left, was eliminated, an area in which, every now and then, a small stage was set up for live musical performances, quite popular. The tables were, in the second half of the 1970s, replaced with more modern ones and then replaced again with others similar to the previous ones, more in conformity with the Liberty-Decò style which characterizes and makes this famous place almost unique in Milan. After the billiards, until the end of the 70s-beginning of the 80s, there was a room reserved for card games, which was removed and, perhaps, used as part of the kitchen or warehouse, it would have been preferable for the room, being able , had remained reserved for an audience that preferred silence and tranquility. The biggest flaw of this place is the noise, which is sometimes unbearable: the noise of people talking would be natural if there wasn't the music playing which is too loud and forces customers to shout to be heard! Another "innovation" that would often have been done without is the large wall screen in the room on the right, the use of which should be limited to football matches and which, in the absence of these, should be turned off. The quality of the food is good, with the famous Magenta sandwiches, including the main one, the classic Speciale, to which are added the dishes and the vast assortment of small plates combined with the "Happy hour" aperitifs, which takes place every evenings from around 6pm to around 8pm. Nothing can be said about the underground room, used as a piano bar, reserved for a limited clientele: I visited it for a few minutes in the seventies and I don't know, honestly, if it is still in operation . Orders are paid upon delivery to the table, with a supplement of 0.50 euros per person. Another recent deleterious habit (years after approximately 2020) is the menu on the mobile phone via QR code: the use of the pages is cumbersome and inelastic. I asked for the paper menu and was told that it was not updated: inconceivable!
