    We are here two nights in a row, primarily due to the affordability, relative quality, and vegan options. Several of the wines that we tried to order were out of stock but each time we landed on something quite pleasant. Be prepared to have a leisurely dinner here. The two of us ordered a salad to share, a pizza to split, and a pasta. The waitress did not believe we would want the pasta after the salad and pizza - when in Italy though! - and did not put our order in until after we finished eating and assured her we still wanted it several times. Great patio to enjoy a leisurely, delicious meal right off the Dumo.

    The place was quite busy when we went in and there was even a long wait when we left. The interior was modern and chic. I ordered the Margherita pizza. I need to eat as much pizza here before going back home. Hahaha... You can really taste the saltiness of the mozzarella and the freshness of the tomatoes. The pizza was good enough. It was too soft in the middle, but the crust was chewy. The price here was very decent for the portion.

    If you're in the mood for a little Napoli but you're kinda on the waaaaaay opposite side of it, perhaps, right in the center of Milano, then you've come to the right place! When you think pizza napoletana, rum baba, limoncello, mozzarella di buffala, all that comes to my mind is NAPOLI! When you come here you MUST order their Napoli style pizza and make sure to order some of their hot peperoncino oil, its got the perfect kick! Make sure you come with time or make a reservation as it gets packed in the evenings with all the locals! Definitely the to go place for some pizza and a beer. Oh, make sure you leave some room for dessert as you'll want to have some with a little digestive of limoncello! They have upstairs seating as well, and overall a super cool spot to come with a group of friends!

    Poor service and disappointing food First of all, already entering the restaurant you could see that there was a problem I constantly saw one of the managers of the restaurant take four pizzas away from tables indicating to me that and they were serving the wrong dishes to the wrong people not only that I had to ask two different waiters in order for someone to come to take our orders. My brother ordered a cuttlefish ink spaghetti. When we got it it had no cuttlefish ink we asked the waitress why and she lied to our faces saying she told us earlier that they ran out. I then ordered this cutlet dish and let me tell you this dish tasted exactly how it looked - plain, dry and disappointing. The mussels were solid, eggplant was decent, and the tuna from the tuna salad was pretty good. Unfortunately, the service and poor quality dishes my brother and I ordered are the main takeaways. I must say it seems like many of the restaurants I have been eating out in Duomo are following the trend of being overpriced and underwhelming in taste. I wonder if it is because tourists go to these restaurants and these restaurants know that they will not return so they just charge exceedingly high prices without regard for the quality flavor of the food.

    Overall: very good! Food: Known for their pizza and they didn't disappoint! One of the best pizzas I ate in Milan....sauce had good flavor, cheese not too salty and the crust was just right! Service: little on the slow side. Had to flag down the waiter a few times Atmosphere: nice casual place to eat for lunch or dinner Tip: place gets crowded all times of the day so be prepared to wait! Overall: would go back...in fact tried to go a second time for lunch but ran out of time because the wait was too long...

    This place has amazing thin crust pizza. Loved it! We also got the Mozzarella tomato and basil salad- yum and fresh! Best pizza I've had so far. The service needs work because they are to slow and it takes forever. Loved sitting on the second floor and watching everything.

    Great restaurant. Everything was good at a very honest price for the food quality, good service and location. I took the most expensive item on the menu because it's a special dish from Milan but honesty it's worth it: Milanese fried pork... Fantastic one. Welcoming restaurant for family with young kids.

    We went here to try their pizzas and if we focus on the pizzas, then I have to say here you really get something for money. The service could be discussed as the waitresses tried everything they could (and try to hide their concern and anxiety for the restaurant manager - or whatever he was). The restaurant manager or whatever he was was unpleasant and actually scary, it seemed to the others that they were anxious for him. Otherwise, I have only praise words for the place!

    Slightly-hidden gem right by the Duomo. Delicious Neapolitan-style pizza, cool ambiance, and friendly waiting staff. After walking around for close to an hour trying to find something open on January 1st, we were very happy to find this place open and buzzing. A must-try!

    I would have given zero star if I could. We went last night because its near our hotel and ordered beef steak medium, it came out rare. I asked to be cooked again until twice! It still came out rare each time. The waiter rudely insist it's medium until one guy at the next table told him it is rare. The clam spaghetti tasted bad and clam still has dirts. Service really bad, waiting time is so long, they still charge us the steak although we don't it eat. Beware.

    We were quickly seated and services was the fastest I've come cross in my short trip to Milan. The service was great. Love the ambiance and decor. Pizza was good, crust was soft and delicious. The pizza is so fresh it's hard to cut into. I posted a photo to better understand and what I'm saying. This was recommended to me and I recommend this to others. If you're looking for good pizza, check it out. Super close to the Duomo.

    Best part of our meal was the prosciutto appetizer. Bread for the grilled veggie bruschetta was so hard we could barely bite into it.

    I literally wrote 4 paragraphs and Yelp glitched and deleted my draft…read more Please make sure to ask them to charge you in Euros because we didn't get the option by the owner and he charged us in USD which costs us more. He's been in business for 44 years so obviously he knows but still charged us in USD which is kinda shady IMO. We decided to dine here due to all the reviews and photos posted. When we approached the restaurant, the owner immediately said "Ni Hao" which I thought was kinda racist. What if I wasn't Chinese? Mink felt offended but we committed to dining there so we did. He asked if we wanted to dine inside or outside. Since it was chilly for Mink, we opted to dine inside where it was 90% full due to a Chinese tour group. They all had the same dish so we figured preset menu for them. I wasn't sure what I was going to get but since they all ate the Ossobuco con risotto alla Milanese in Crosta, I decided to order that as it was one of the dishes I was considering. Mink ordered their Spaghetti ai frutti di mare. I'm not sure why but the owner exclusively took care of us. He also made it a point to bring a photo over of Jay Chow saying he's dined there 4-5 times in the last few years. Maybe that's why the Chinese tour group eats there? He was arrogant enough to brag about how much money he's made because of Jay Chow. There were lots of celebrities that dined there from what gathered looking at his wall of fame. I bet he didn't charge any of them in USD *smh* The Ossobuco con risotto alla Milanese in Crosta was really good and probably the best we had in Milan. They must be able to make this dish with their eyes closed at this point with the daily Chinese tour groups dining there. Their Spaghetti ai frutti di mare was decent but didn't have as much seafood in the dish as other restaurants and the flavor was about average. The bread and EVOO offered was legit though! I loved it and I normally hardly ever eat the complimentary bread. Food is good overall and customer service felt extra. If we didn't get charged USD, wasn't getting bragged to about how much money he made off Jay Chow and wasn't greeted with a "Ni Hao" then the place is 4 stars. Since all that did happened, 2.5 stars.

Reservations are highly recommended. It's within walking distance of the Duomo di Milano. Just as much as the Duomo is a must visit in Milan, so is this quaint restaurant. When you arrive, you will need to knock at the door. It's a tiny place with only seating for 20 in the entire place. Chef Maurizio sat at our table and shared pictures on his phone of all of the dishes. He made a few recommendations and they were much appreciated. The dishes are served family style - to be shared. Everything he served was amazing. I would not have changed a thing. The restaurant was founded by his father in 1952. And, he is carrying on an amazing tradition. His father would be proud.
