Great restaurant! The food was fantastic! The menu was a little heavy on sea food, so if you're a…read morefan of that sort of fair then this is the place for you. I went on a Friday night based of a reservation made by a local hotel, according to the concierge this is a place that usually only caters to locals so if you're trying to get out of the touristy joints down by the Duomo then this is also the spot for you. The wine selection was good, the pasta a little on the al dente side and the sauces excellent.

The food was DELICIOUS! The executive chef/ owner was kind and welcoming to us, and accommodated…read moreour last minute reservation. The waiters were friendly. The food is fresh and savory. They have a huge wine selection, but the house wine was just as good. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, great experience!

The food here is OK but the service is very slow. I live in an apartment above the restaurant so I…read morethought I might as well try it. They have NO English menu and do NOT speak English. This is very unfortunate. I somehow figured out enough on the menu to decide to get the cheese with tomatoes in a pan with pita to start, and then I got a chicken/cheese salad. Also, no such thing as free water here. So you better wanna spend big and wait a long time to get your food... I don't really know anyone who sets out to do that. It was 7:00 PM in the restaurant was very empty. Weird. The decorations are very tacky and the wait staff are very rude. They could not give a care in the world about whether or not your food is coming, and they just stand there all day on their phones! It's took about 30 minutes for my first dish to come, and then 20 minutes for my salad to come... Kind of ridiculous... No wonder overall this place has 3 stars. The food won't kill you... But the service might. Gosh. Would it kill these people to be apologetic about how long the food takes to be prepared... that's what waiters are supposed to do.

Don't let whiny "ugly American" reviews (and yes, I am American) keep you from visiting Itaka when…read moreyou want to take a break from the wonderful Italian dishes throughout the city. The service was attentive and the waiters (I went multiple times in the months that I was in Milano) were patient and helpful in explaining the dishes. Itaka had some wonderful "fusion" style offerings and delicious wine. Give them a try. The place has a pleasing yet fresh casual atmosphere and tasty dishes. PS-Maybe we should cut them a little slack if they resolutely refused to learn English in Italy. Whoda thunk?

The chicken and kafta were so juicy and tender. Loved the sides of hummus and baba ganouch. Everything we ate was delicious and authentic tasting. We talked with the owner and he is from Lebanon. Such a cool guy. I highly recommend you stop by here and give them a try. You won't be disappointed!

I love this place for the menu variety. The food is very…read moretasty. The staff is really nice and the vibe is really chill. I have been for an anniversary dinner as well as with a group of friends. The menu has many vegetarian and some vegan options. I usually get a fixed vegan dish, my favorite. Large servings as well. I always leave satisfied. Their deserts are also very good. I highly recommend trying this place if you're in search of good Lebanese food.

This afternoon we traveled nearly 5 kilometers by taxi to have lunch at a restaurant called Mashti…read more We were met with a very cold and rude attitude from the restaurant owner. We just said hello and asked for a menu. He said in a rude and demanding manner that we don't have a menu. We don't have a bathroom. We only have food for takeout (while there were several tables and chairs in the restaurant and several customers were sitting and eating!) I asked if that meant we couldn't sit down. He graciously allowed us to sit down! The food was quite ordinary, but as I said, the behavior was completely unprofessional and rude. I think even one star is too much for them. Absolutely zero.

You can peek between few options for appetizers, first and mean meal, as well as desserts. Everything is handmade by the mother of the 30 years old owner who is serving the tables with few friends. It is like eating at my mum house, and i love it. Fresh flowers on the table, good wine, a happy atmosphere made Lile in cucina a perfect spot to take a break from Milanese fashion restaurants.
