Two words. Molto delizioso!!!…read more This little place is located on the south bank of the Navigli Canal. New Executive Chef Ivan Minali is serving up incredibly unique dishes that will surely have your palate wanting more. The ambience of the restaurant was amorous. We also found the staff to be polite, efficient and very observant without being intrusive. The starters were all excellent, but the stand out dishes for me was the gold foiled, soft-centered egg with caviar and truffle sitting on a pistachio bed. Second favorite was the artichoke with foie gras and roasted egg yolk. The taste was delightful and astonishing! For dessert, I would recommend the "Snow White" Apple with pasta frolla ice-cream. It's made with an apple-shaped crispy candy shell with apple mousse inside. Reservations for this Michelin star restaurant can be hard to come by, but you may get lucky like we did. During the hot summer nights, take a seat outdoor and enjoy the Milanese movida while having dinner. Of all the offerings in the canal district, this sits at the top of the heap for creativity and fine dining. Every dish was crafted with fresh ingredients, presented with high style and flair you would expect only in Milan.

This was our fancy dinner during our Milan trip and including a couple birthdays as well. Reserving…read morea table was an easy call to the restaurant the week prior and on the day of we had some horrific issues with taxis and ended up running quite late but they were so accommodating when we called to let them know and we're so glad they had table for us when we finally arrived. The owner Maida Mercuri is the first person you see upon walking in, she's gorgeous and has a ready smile. The feel here is so homey. The food is upscale but it's not the vibe you get at all. It's comfortable and has a nice ecclectic mix of people from locals to visitors alike and couples on dates alongside groups of friends. You have those dressed to the nines and those dining in their jeans. Either way this was definitely worth saving as our special dinner for our short stay in Milan. I love the fact that not everyone at the table needs to do a tasting menu, the fact they have a number of different tasting menus and some really interesting (as in i was so very curious to try them) a la carte offerings. There was 5 of us and 3 opted to try tasting menus and the others the a la carte. I really wish I had taken a photo of their menu as it changes so often...Especially as i couldnt recall the name of each plate as there were so many!! so sad... Amuse bouche we started off with were prosecco filled balls from heaven...really could have eaten several dozens of these (favorite by far of my entire trip!). Loved them. Served chilled in a bowl of ice...just sooo amazing. The other was a pork with yogurt sauce which was also tasty and the yogurt was refreshing. As we had a gluten allergic bday girl, her amuse bouche was a GF parmesan and avocado crisp. Their bread board was impressive. All made in-house and fresh. Seriously wish we could have just shipped it all home. Mini croissants were slightly sweet and crisp...sooo good. The large ones had cumin and were savory. Breadsticks and different kinds of breads...There was just so many choices! *Spaghettoni: there were two options and I'm not fully sure which was selected but our friend was very happy. This takes extra time and says so on the menu. It looked like a very large spaghetti pasta and was very fresh. * Tradition tasting menu: *The candied version of red onion from Tropea: This was gorgeously presented and the taste was so fresh and creamy. That tart and creamy goat cheese with the candied onion after you break into the shiny candy shell...this looked like blown glass artwork. Loved it! *Beef sashimi: Also beautifully presented and soo good! *Ravioli: pretty little pillows of goodness *Pluma of Iberian pork: juicy, tender and just the right amount of smoky sear. Artfully plated. *Chocolate cigar, a scent of Montecristo and rhum ice cream: such an interesting dessert!!! Not a fan of the montecristo cigar smoke but what an idea!!! small glass was filled w. cigar smoke for you to have a feel as if you were smoking a cigar! The cigar was a chocolate and served in a clear ashtray. water tasting menu: *Langoustine: artfully plated and very fresh. *Sausage stuffed sardines: This was definitely different and fresh. Small fresh sardines stuffed with sausage. *Tuna slider: the bun was made with pasta...This was very interesting, tasty and quite messy to eat as i was instructed to do so with my hands. *Squid with beet reduction and fried onions: very fresh squid, very tender and loved the beet reduction. *White fish or monkfish? Loved their presentation but this was my least favorite...the fish was very chewy and ate like a steak...sliced like one as well...somewhat gristly. *Octopus and potatoes: this was such a cool dessert for me as it looked just like octopus and potatoes...the octopus was fruit molded to look like octopus and filled with fresh whipped cream to look like the white flesh when you cut into it. The "potatoes" were poached pears. Creative AND delicious! The other really fun dessert was "this is not a game": a kaleidoscope of childhood flavors. This came out on a lit LED platform (very bright) and it was legos!!! Fruit leather molded into the lego base platforms with chocolate lego figures. Very cool!!! I wish we had known to order the apple tart dessert but alas...we did not. Hours later and all very full...we happily wandered out to wait for our taxis, which Ms Mercuri was kind enough to call for us whilst one of us kept eating the delicious jelly beans at her counter. Lovely dinner, lovely evening.

Portions were very generous so come very hungry. We decided to split a pizza, ordered a carafe of their house sparkling wine, dessert and finished with a digestive drink.

But if you're looking for a simple trattoria with a great ambience and friendly service then welcome.
