Food: 5 Value: 5 (arguably a 6/5)…read moreService: 5 Ambiance: 3.5 The single greatest Italian cuisine meal I've eaten to date. We found this restaurant through Google Reviews and generally had high hopes, but were blown away by the experience. We ordered salads to share, drinks, and pasta before a tiramisu - I went for a seafood pasta (see pictures) and negroni. We definitely could have avoided getting the two salads; portions were massive and we ended up not finishing either salad. My main course was delicious. The pasta had a zesty, fresh flavor between the lemon, olive oil, parsley and tomato, but the welcome surprise was seeing mounds of mussels, clams and shrimp inside the dish (I'm from New York and expected maybe 10 total) that took me almost 5 minutes to deshell before I went to town on it. Cocktails were excellent - hard to see from the photos but huge and delicious. Resulted in a great midday buzz. Limoncello spritz was also good but perhaps too strong for a lunchtime drink. Other courses ordered: - Lamb ravioli - Had 1-2 bites and tasted good, but probably a 3.5-4. Not really up to my palate and compared to my own entree, hard to beat :) - Carbonara - Solid. Incredibly rich and this was an entree where the large portions actually hurt more than helped - Salads - Hard to tell bc I was full of pasta Minor ding if anything is the ambiance. It's a block or so away from the crazy shore of Como but still was getting a bit loud by the time we left. Not a real complaint and didn't affect our experience, but if you're looking for a more quiet and relaxed experience you might want to go to a less touristy area. Thank you for a lovely meal!

Horrible service and food. Served us rotten food and didn't not exchange our food. Do not recommend.read more

Here's all I know about Osterietta:…read more + During lunch, many of the dishes are prepared in an open kitchen concept. For example, I had a salad ant there is bar in the middle of the restaurant that is loaded with fresh vegetables. It is here that my salad was constructed. Our waiter added the vinegar and oil. + The servers are all long-time professionals. Well dressed and enjoying what they do - total pro's + The prosciutto (also sliced and prepared within eye-sight is as good as any I've ever eaten. + The pasta with shrimp and squid was outstanding. I've never had squid that was so "not chewy". Perfect blend of seafood and sauce and pasta + Overall an over the top superior lunch dining experience. I'd go back here in a heartbeat. + Prosciutto, salad, two primo (pasta) courses, bread, wine and espresso €70 including tip. Like I said, total pro's here.

The MOST DELICIOUS authentic Italian food. Get away from the city center of Milan!!! Come out to…read moreSan Donato area and have this amazing cuisine! Everything seriously was PERFECT! And the prices were great too! The wine list may be a bit expensive for a full bottle but I believe they are very very good wines. The staff was very accommodating to us "Americanos" and did very well speaking English to us. I can't believe they have such few reviews! Appetizers were €5-15 and main dishes €10-40, sides and desserts €5-12. It really is mainly the wine list that can be pricey. I'm sure they are worth it. If we are ever in Milan again, we certainly will be returning. What a gem to find this place, so sad it's our last day.
