A small bar to the left of the entrance has an Irish pub feel. The rest of the business is Blues/Jazz inspired. They have lots of outdoor seating. There were a number of occuoied tables inside enjoying an afternoon cocktail. Not much food happening at this time of day. Wait to be seated. Staff speak English. Although we were inside, an employee came over to collect payment mid-way through our drink. Very much a "here's your hat, what's your hurry" moment. One and done I guess. The restrooms are a pass for me. I bring clorox wipes when I travel so was prepared but there is no seat on the toilet. Most ladies hover anyway but you have been warned. Also, signs specify to *not put your TP into the toilet. A bin is provided, but the foot pedal is broken. You can imagine how that went. Located in a pedestrian area you may find parking on a nearby street, but I recommend public transport if heading to the Naviglio Grande area.

Great spot by the Navigli in Milano. Amazing "aperitivo" deal where we got a "tagliere"…read more(charcuterie plate) for free just for ordering a cocktail. The tagliere was abundant and very good, with great salumi and cheeses from Italy. Definitely a great deal and very good service as well. We have lots of places offering "happy hours" in the USA, but you don't know what happy hours is until you go to Italy. Hopefully we'll be back in Milano later this year and we will visit this this place again.

I met with some yelped, some friends and some family members for a Sunday funday brunch at this little corner of the good ol' comfort food of the land of star's stripes. We ordered: - Onion rings (some slightly over fried) with beer batter with honey mustard .... YOLO!!! - cheese burger with raw onions and French fries (truly appreciated) - pulled pork sandwich (I needed a a shower afterwards.... which means it was TRULY amazing)... it was so wonderfully cooked and the meat melted in my mouth. - baby back ribs with BBQ sauce and French fries (wonderfully cooked, extremely soft and chewable) - hot wings (ÜBER-spicy) and some a tad too over-cooked with gorgonzola sauce. - pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream -super huge and decadent burrito with 3 sauces (guacamole, sour cream and jalapeño) The squeezed oranges were very nice and the bottled water was good as well. The beer on tap was from Piemonte and very good indeed. Everything was truly great... EXCEPT for the coffee. .. that tasted burnt. Everything was amazing and tasty and I surely will come back over and over again to try a few more options off the menu.... Welcome to my home away from home... BRAVO!!!

Cecily's place is what I would call the most authentic American food I've had in Italy, and thanks to her you can eat real bbq baby back ribs, yummy burgers and the best apple pie in Milan (among other delicious dishes). The place is not big, about 10 tables, you can see that Cecily is always taking care of everything, from the entrance where she greets you, then explaining every dish at your table (I loved the explanation about the Animal Fries: "Italians complain that it seems we gave them leftovers, but that's the way they are, it's a typical L.A. dish, so don't complain if you order them" - seriously, Google them if you don't believe it) and always checking up on you, if you need anything and if the food's OK. I've been here for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner where we left super full and satisfied (first approach to their apple pie, yummy!): turkey, potatoes, mac n'cheese, dips, brownies, etc., then for drinks and to watch the game (it can be a valid alternative to a sports bar - big screen, beers, onion rings, what else do you need?), for dessert (apple pie!) and for dinner again last night. As starters, we had the shrimp pil pil (spicy and hot, probably not the best choice on a hot summer evening... we were sweating) and the animal fries (loved them, I would also order them as bar snacks to watch the game); then the famous baby back ribs (be ready to lick your fingers) and the blue cheese burger which was a mess to eat (the patty was too juicy and the bun got too moisty) so I ended up eating it with fork and knife but it was very good and cooked perfectly to my taste; the sides were also good: creamed spinach and cucumber salad with tzatziki... as if we weren't full enough, we had the apple pie and the cheesecake, both great. Prices are average for restaurants in the city center and considering the quality and authenticity, well, hats off to Cecily!!!

Whether you're meeting friends or just spending some quality time with yourself, Café Trussardi,…read morelocated in the centre of Milan near the Teatro all Scalla, offers hospitality and relaxation in an elegant setting, complete with cocktails and caviar that are out of this world! While killing time between walking the beautiful streets of Milan, I wanted to treat myself to a small snack and a drink (or two). I was impressed by the modern design, with crisp angles around every corner and natural, clean colors. From the moment I entered I felt a sense of calm, and the server greeted me and showed me to a comfortable seat along the bar. The list of cocktails was very diverse, and the drinks menu reflected the upscale atmosphere. I decided to start with a cocktail called Beer Americano, a mix of bitter Campari, red Vermouth, and white beer, topped with the zest of a fresh orange. This was a uniquely refreshing cocktail, as the citrus notes really picked up on the herbal flavors of the Campari. I chose to indulge in Trussardi Calvisius caviar, an excellent choice to match the flavors of my cocktail. This is seriously the best caviar I have ever eaten, fresh, a notch salty, but delicate and delicious. After my Beer Americano, I knew I had to try at least one more cocktail on the list, and ordered the Apple Tru, crafted with Calvados, cinnamon, apple, ginger and BBB bitters. Perfect for fall. I'll definitely be returning to try more cocktails!

Thankfully, the menu had a variety of options with various prices, although most of it was above what we wanted to pay for lunch. I was still able to get a 15 euro plate of well-made pasta. Since it was early in our trip, I did not mind eating pasta. My friend ordered a pumpkin soup with bacon and scallops which she really enjoyed. The person serving us was polite and helpful. She let my friend try several different wines before she decided on what to drink. Our overall experience went from being skeptical as we walked in to this place to being satisfied as we walked out.

On the 8th floor of the COIN Building in Piazza Cinque Giornate, you'll find a nightlife staple, with sophisticated restaurant design and unique charm. I opted for lunch on the terrace, which offered a breathtaking view of the city. I was able to relax and sip a glass of wine while the city bustled below. I started my lunch with the "raw special" dish, consisting of slices of raw tuna, salmon, amberjack, and swordfish. I also indulged in raw Sicilian prawns, which came highly recommended by the server. Absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, the raw seafood definitely got me excited for my main course. Scrumptious Kobe rump steak tataki, topped with a creamy bean sauce and sweet caramelized red onions has to be the most wonderful thing I've ever tasted. The meat was tender and juicy, and the creaminess of the sauce complimented it perfectly. Even though I had enjoyed every last bite of my food and was feeling full, I knew I just had to try dessert. I opted for something light - the raspberry parfait in mango sauce - because fruit is always a great way to end a meal, right? Right! The parfait was topped with a red, ripe strawberry, which I saved for last, of course. I can't wait to come back to Globe and enjoy a cocktail, unwind in the lounge, and even try their dinner menu. The whole experience was amazing, from the views on the rooftop to the great food, and the friendly servers. I can't think of a better way to enjoy delicious cuisine in Milan, other than dining at Globe Restaurant and Lounge.
