Armani Bamboo Bar/ Restaurant Milan…read more This modern, chic restaurant serves good food in a pretty space. We stopped in for lunch and were surprised that the restaurant was virtually empty. While the hostess/initial server was a very abrupt, very haughty (with more than a tad of condescension) unpleasant, British woman, (so unpleasant that we were going to leave) the rest of the staff was better, some staff members even rising to the level of gracious. GianPaulo, for example, was attentive, accommodating and very pleasant, so we stayed. We opted to share the shrimp appetizer, which was quite tasty. We then opted for the salmon poke and seared tuna salad (their version of the nicoise). The salmon poke was not bad. The seared tuna salad excelled in both plating and flavor. The tuna was fresh and lightly seared, and the vegetables were also fresh and prepared perfectly al dente. As the restaurant was quite empty, after the initial unpleasantness, we enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing lunch. While we wouldn't "rush back" to Bamboo Bar, it's well located, has a pleasant ambiance, and the seared tuna salad was quite good.

Luckily I was able to get in with my fabulous friend. Inside is pretty small but nice. The few random tables are a bad idea because people bump into them.

There was only one waitress for the entire place which basically made her job completely impossible. There are at least 25 or 30 tables! I decided that we needed a break so we stuck it out. Our waitress had this amazing tattoo which said "enjoy every minute" so that's what we decided to do! Our sandwiches were passable and the chips were nice and salty and crunchy. I can't comment on the drinks because we literally never got any, ever. To pay, I had to go inside and ask for our check at the register. The poor lady there was also flustered and overwhelmed. When they realized I had never gotten our bill or our drinks, they were very apologetic but I simple smiled and said I enjoyed every minute. She gave me two bottles of water which helped since we were parched by this time. Life is too short to get bent out of shape about an understaffed restaurant. We'll just go elsewhere the next time we are in the Brera Design District!

I think this place is overrated (yes, I said it!) I think a…read morelot of things and places are overrated but that's just me. I do like nice things and places when it tries too hard then it becomes overrated. Tries too hard as in, the people who go there. Many people suggested this bar to me. It's one of the nicer, elegant lounges in La Brera area. Eh, it was okay. The interior and exterior is nice but it tries to be too pretentious when really it's not. Don't get me wrong, it's a very swanky lounge but the people who come here try too hard. I think that's my problem with these sort of lounges. People come here, try to dress all nice and may or may not try to be "posh" for the night when in reality there not. I could be wrong, but this is this the feel I get. Sometimes these places for the night is okay but sometimes you want a more comfortable, relaxing feel at a lounge and at Fashion you don't really get that. The service sucks here. I am sorry but it does. We couldn't get the girls attention, it took forever. Once we ordered our drinks came out fairly quick but it took forever to get those drink orders in. I can sit here all day and bash about things I didn't like about the place but I'm not going to. I have no problem the the lounge itself (well one complaint is that the drinks are overpriced) but that's besides the point. I don't like the type of people who come to this lounge. They look like they try too hard to stand out or to show off what they may or may not have. THE END!

I got to sit under the canopy and work for a bit while enjoying a Nutella crêpe and warm cappuccino. Four stars because it took a while for my order to get to me... I understand the crêpe taking some time but I had to remind one of the waitresses of my cappuccino. The crêpe was rubbery but it had a generous amount of Nutella, so that made up for it. The cappuccino was alright, but very necessary for the perfect rainy day breakfast.

Ugo was mentioned in my guide book and it was a short walk so our decision was made. We made our way and we were seated at a table inside. Ambiance (4/5): Ugo is a sophisticated cocktail bar and the decor and ambiance match. While I was there with my buddy, I thought to myself: this would make for a good date spot. Service (5/5): European service has a reputation for being slow and inefficient. And not terribly friendly. The opposite is true at Ugo. The bartenders were friendly, checked on us promptly, and closed us out quickly when we were ready to leave. This is not the norm in Italy and it was a nice surprise. Food (N/A): We had dinner earlier so drinks only for us. Drinks (5/5): First off, I appreciated the creativity of the menu itself. The signature cocktails were named after board games and there was a short description to make the connection between the game and the drink. The creativity shown on the menu matches the sophistication of the drinks. If you're looking for an elaborate cocktail, you'll find that at Ugo. The cocktail I ultimately chose had cachasa in it (a Brazilian liquor). You don't find this spirit often so I jumped on the opportunity. The cocktail itself lived up to my expectations and then some. Overall: If I lived in Milan, Ugo would be a part of my regular rotation.
