Twice was nearly 3 years ago (July 2022) and it was so memorable we…read moredecided to go again on our first night back in Milan in May 2026 and then repeated here the following night. The restaurant is on a side street near the busy (with tourists from every corner of the globe) Duomo area. It is easy to find. It has a charming decor (though it is a bit darker and more romantically appointed than other area restaurants, as well as having an underground and almost bordello vibe). It is also larger than it might appear, as there are both ground floor, as well as a lower eating area seemingly for larger groups, as well as used during busier times. We have only eaten on the ground floor level. The menu offers ample variety, but is not what one would term extensive. It tends upscale, though not extremely costly (arguably average to slightly above average fine restaurant prices), but portions are on the smaller side. They have a specialty in dishes augmented and emphasizing the use of truffles, of which we have sampled several times. Over the course of our several meals we've had every pasta and risotto offered with truffle shavings. Of the appetizers we can recommend the meatballs, which are delicate and small, the bacon wrapped shrimp, and the octopus. Their desserts are also not the run of the mill and warrant tastings. All and all, we will always repeat here when in Milan. Frankly, though their Yelp average score is pretty good, we were surprised they do not have a higher Yelp average score.

Lunch service began at 12pm, so our arrival at 11:30am turned into a short aperitivo hour where I ordered a [very] light Limoncello, poured pre-mixed from a bottle. Eventually, after viewing the menu through an app (which offered *some* translations), we ordered directly with a server. The Polpette di manzo/ beef meatballs in tomato sauce were actually quite delicious, the natural acidity from the fresh tomatoes lending much to the flavor. Unfortunately, while the half sleeve pasta shells on their own were quite bouncy and enjoyable, the carbonara ingredients for the Mezze maniche alla carbonara made the dish SO salty. Similarly, my friend's mezze maniche in a tomato sauce (al sugo di pomodoro) was just as salty. Maybe the sharp pecorino cheese is just too strong for us or there was a serious error in the amount added. We were let down a bit since our Airbnb host hyped up this place for pasta to a great extent! I'm just glad I at least was able to enjoy my meatballs and the table snacks which were of top quality!

It was more than enough for 4 and very reasonably priced. We split a spaghetti with bottarga while our friends had the seafood risotto. Both were very good. This was accompanied by a nice bottle of Pio Ceasare Barbera. For my secondi I had the traditional osso buco which was very tender and served with a rich Espangole sauce.

The prices are probably a little inflated at 19 euros for most cocktails. Tis but a necessary evil for the atmosphere though. I had a Campari spritz, the bitter-sweet, herby quality of Campari giving the spritz a little more "oomph" than normal. My friend had a midday negroni because she cray cray, but those vibes really called for it. Service was outstanding, the jacketed-bow-tied gentlemen ensuring we were well hydrated alcohol-wise (well-alcoholed?) and our table nibbles fully-stocked. I know we paid coperto, the price I am uncertain of, but they do have a standing bar at the entrance where you can avoid the pesky table fee. The drinks are at least guaranteed to please no matter where you situate yourself!
