    A pic with Chef Andrea - very hospitable, generous and a genius in the kitchen.

    Il Liberty was one of my favorite dining experiences during a recent 10 day visit to beautiful Italy. I don't know if they have a Michelin star yet, but if they don't, they certainly should get one sooner or later. Il Liberty is not located in a busy touristy area. In fact, it seemed like we were the only tourists in the restaurant, which I loved. Sorry Americans, but I leave America to take a break from ya'll. We were lucky enough to walk in and get a wonderful table for 2 with a view of the kitchen without a reservation or wait. The restaurant was pretty busy otherwise. The restaurant was dim and romantic with good energy, but also intimate at the same time. The entire staff is friendly and professional and they speak English well enough to explain things to this stupid American tourist. They have delicious and beautifully crafted cocktails and a carefully curated wine list. There's a chef's tasting menu that's well priced and an a la carte menu. We went a la carte this time. We learned that the chef's vision for the entire menu is a playful and elevated interpretation of Milanese classics. For example, they do a premium, thick cut, bone in Milanese veal chop cooked medium whereas every other restaurant in Milan does the classic thinly pounded chops well done. The classics of course are good and will always have a place on somebody's menu, but damn thick cut Milanese veal chops are good! Long story short, everything was good and I would return to Milan just to eat here again so I can eat and drink EVERYTHING. Chef Andrea, even though he was busy in the kitchen, checked on us several times as he did with other patrons, gave us a free entree from the tasting menu just because it was so good he thought we had to try it, and took pictures with us. The only negative thing about the entire place was a faulty lock on the toilette door that would lock, but not always.....unlock. The good news is the staff would occasionally check to see if anyone was locked in the toilette. I have convinced myself this is just a cool parlor trick. Buon appetivo!

    Papà Francesco - Spaghetti ai frutti di mare

    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.

    What an amazing experience- authentic in every way- if you want a real good meal in Milan - go…read morehere!!!

As described, we knocked to get in and we were very lucky to get a table for our family of 4. Chef M, had to turn others away as the evening went on. He provided recommendations and was very entertaining, even sang a little karaoke! The food was so delicious! And even our teenage boys loved everything! Cannot say enough about this place! So happy to have stumbled on it! Highlight of the trip for sure!

    Chef Maurizio prepared for us the best dinner in the three countries we visited - Italy,…read moreSwitzerland and Germany. It was truly a dining experience - not to be missed. 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.
