18/01/2026: We went for dinner as a couple at La Quarta Carbonaia on the recommendation of friends and absolutely loved it. It's super busy, so reservations are recommended.
As soon as you're seated, they bring you bread and focaccia. The bruschetta with raw sausage is a must-try: amazing, 100% recommended. We ordered a glass of red wine (they have a couple by the glass, so ask them) and then a very tender Florentine steak, truly top-quality. Sides: grilled vegetables and rosemary-sautéed potatoes (other options are also available).
Dessert: mille-feuille to share + coffee. Very fair price for the quality of the meat.
Oh, and for parking, it's best to arrive a little early, as it's very centrally located.
02/01/2026: We had a pleasant dinner at La Carbonaia 90 and the food was generally well prepared, with a focus on simple, classic Italian flavours.
The meat was one of the main highlights of the meal. The steak was served in thick slices, cooked nicely in the centre, with a good texture and flavour. It felt like a straightforward, traditional approach, without unnecessary additions.
We also tried a few starters that were light and easy to share. The burrata was fresh and creamy, served simply with greens, and the tomato salad was clean and well seasoned, a good option if you want something lighter. The bruschetta selection was also a nice addition, especially the ones topped with tomatoes and the ones with salami, both paired well with the toasted bread.
The pasta dish, carbonara, was served in a classic style, creamy and well balanced, with good pasta texture. It was one of the more satisfying plates on the table.
To accompany everything, the flatbread was warm and simple, and worked well as a side for the starters and meat.
Overall, La Carbonaia 90 offers a reliable, traditional Italian meal with good quality ingredients and a relaxed atmosphere, a solid choice in Milan for classic dishes done properly.
