    Rizzoto

    Burata appetizer excellent. Rizzoto was below average for me. Reasonable price. Outdoor Miskito problem on the patio but a nice spot.

    I'm normally suspicious of restaurants recommended by hotel staff, but Mary at Hotel Canada here in the center of Milan said the 10 minute walk (through some somewhat sketchy city blocks) would be worth it... and it was. The house red wine was a delightful compliment to the terrific truffle pasta, and the tiramisu was next-level. The wait staff also spoke very good English, and it appears this place is a favorite of the locals (a good sign that good food is served here). I think we were the only tourists in the entire place.

    Came here based on a friend's recommendation. This is another must visit place if you're in Milan for dinner! The food here were exceptional and so was the service. We had about 8 of us and ordered about 4 different appetizers so we can all try it out. I honestly gotta say, the more people you can get to join you the merrier because you can order everything and try everything! Squid: Cooked perfectly! Very fresh with a added touch of lemon on top was just perfect. The puree on the bottom went well with the texture of the squid. I can't recall what the puree was made out of. Cheese & tomato: Ok, the cheese is not the kinda cheese you're thinking of. This cheese was creamy, soft, gooey, freshly made, the BEST cheese you can ever ask for. I would eat the whole bowl, but I had to save stomach space for my entree. Salami & puff bread: I don't eat pork so I didn't try the salmi and meats. The fried bread was stale and had a bad fish taste to it. This is the reason they're getting 1 star off. Come on, you can't fried bread in the same pot of oil you fry fish in... or stale oil in... it's just a no no =( Salmon tartar: The salmon is TOP quality and the fish just melts in your mouth. This will be the best tartar you ever have in your life! Celery salad: Crunchy, fresh, delicious. It has a little bitter taste to it because that's just how the celery root taste like. KIf you don't like bitter taste of your salad, then this is not the dish for you. The parmesan cheese sliced on top gave a nutty kick and taste that tops and round the whole flavor of the dish up perfectly. Entree: I got the veal cheek with risotto, which was to die for. The risotto was cooked perfectly! It was extremely creamy, yet has still has a bite to it. The veal cheek melts in your mouth and the flavor of it was just divine. I can't even begin to describe the taste ot it; you just need to order it and eat it yourself to know how good it tasted =) Tip: I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time; otherwise it gets packed at night and you won't be given a seat.

    Don't let the 15+ minute walk from the Milan Cathedral deter you! This place is well worth the walk (and was good burning of some calories before indulging.) Our host recommended this restaurant, and luckily was a short walk from the Airbnb. We arrived a touch before 8 without reservations, and the host requested that we give up the table by 9:30 for another booking. On a Wednesday night (though it was just before Christmas), this place got PACKED, as it should be! The food was exactly what I dreamed authentic italian food would taste like (hint: not Olive Garden) We started off the meal with burrata--basically a mozzarella ball that is gooey in the middle. Absolutely amazing and fresh. I mean, how could it not taste amazing?! Best Menu Item? Seriously, any pasta dish. The pasta carbonara was better than my Italian soon-to-be MIL's carbonara (shhh, don't tell her). Though the portions may look small, they are very rich and satisfying. The fiancé ordered a pork ravioli type of dish, and loved it just as much. The wines are reasonably priced, too! And the servers knew some English to get around the ordering process.

    Stupendous place with a very tasty menu of unique things. We tried the Gnocchi Fritto with their fresh burrata cheese, worth another visit. Lamb dish was fantastic, and available wine selection is quite good. Prices are in the moderate range.

    AMAZEBALLS!!! One's experience in such a great establishment can only be defined as a Ferrari+Porche hybrid, the Superbowl of culinary greatness!!! First encounter was mid-august of 2010, while internet surfing for a location where to bring some clients for SAIPEM... i stroke gold (and scored major kudos points with my Project Manager) when i made a same day reservation for 12. The menu was fixed but boy was it heavenly. When ingredients are carefully chosen, skilfully assembled and amazingly served, greatness is the only outcome. Though the core of this Osteria is traditional Northern Italian cuisine, a modern twist on presentation makes it worth your while. I have, since, come back to dine on my own dime and, though it is NOT by any means inexpensive, i do believe great culinary experience should be priced accordingly. Therefore, should you decide you want to trear yourself to an AMAZING dinner, do not let THIS choice pass you by. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!

    DELICIOUS! This place is one of my favorites in Milan and reasonably priced. OK everything I had here is pretty freakin amazing so you can't go wrong. Some of my favorites **fried gnocco(bread) with cold cuts ** - a must have -ragu pasta (could just be on the daily special menu) -hen breast with black truffle cream and potatoes filled with cheese -Stracciatella di burrata con pomodorini a grappolo GREAT wine selection too! I must go back immediately :)

    This review is coming in a bit late, but I didn't have a very pleasant experience at this shop. I…read moregot the worst possible table (near the toilet) as I went in alone. There were actually only a couple of sofas at the entrance, so I'm not sure why it's called "sofa" cafe. The cafe itself is so cramped, it could be organized better in my opinion. As I was sitting at my table, pretty much every person who came into the shop seemed to want to use the toilet, so the line was very long and I kept bumping into each person. As for the coffee and pastry I ordered, it was just about ok, nothing special. The service was also very slow. I wouldn't recommend this place especially if you're going in alone and want to spend some time working or to read a book.

    Great location- along a bustling street full of other bars and restaurants…read more Cocktails were above average. I'm quite fussy with my drinks and I must admit they were pretty well made! Not the best in the world but certainly better than the average. I would highly recommend the Moscow Donkey for a warm summers day as it was very refreshing! The only thing I would mention is the service was pretty poor. It took us about 10-15minutes to get our orders taken, and then we had to wait at least another 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive. If you're not in any rush (like us) then it's perfectly fine, but I would imagine it being quite annoying if you had somewhere to be afterwards. Overall it was above average drinks, below average service and a great relaxed ambience.
