I wasn't fucking around so GF and I schlepped the 20+ minute walk over to this place from the city's center. It's small and unassuming which is part of its charm. We arrived literally in the nick of time because there were a few tables left, one of which we were able to snag immediately after placing our order. As we were finishing up, the place had become a bustling mad house and there was already a queue waiting for our table. I LOVE the fact that this place offers vegetarian and vegan options of which GF and I took full advantage. I ordered one of their vegan offerings with zucchini, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and hummus. This was super hearty and I loved how full of veggies it was but they were a little heavy on the olive oil which is probably standard fare for Italians. For me, it was too much. GF ordered a vegetarian piada with mushrooms, zucchini, and cheese. She says it "was amazing" and that she "really enjoyed it". They have a million other variations depending on your preferences and prices are super reasonable.

I'm a bit disappointed by this place, i had very high expectations based on the stellar reviews. As…read moresoon as I got in I saw a mountain of pre-sliced cured meats, amassed on the preparation counter in open air, which was not a good sign to me. Service was pretty quick, maybe due to the pre-sliced meats actually, but the prosciutto crudo in both the piadina we got was tough, and not soft to the bite as it should be. It was very difficult to eat, because you got a big chunk of prosciutto at every bite due to its toughness. The piadina were filled generously and looked great. So many good things about this place, but finally my eating experience was sub optimal. I don't think I'll be back.

The veal cutlet was different than the standard because it was much fatter instead of hammered flat. This made it rarer and juicy. It was more like Japanese tonkatsu pork. The Mascarpone dessert with pomegranate, sorbet, sponge cake, some kind of liquor, and chocolate shavings was different and surprising and glorious in every bite.

The restaurant itself is pretty clean, and on the wall you can see autographs of celebrities -- even a famous soccer player (I think the Brazilian star Ronaldo?). You can definitely tell this place is well-known. That said, I do find it a bit pricey. One panini costs about 15 euros, and we asked the chef to cut it in half so the two of us could share. The ingredients definitely seem high quality, but as tourists, our palates might not be refined enough to appreciate all the subtle flavors. To me, it just tasted a bit salty, probably because of the ham (I think it was prosciutto crudo?). Overall, I'd say it's worth a try if you're curious or want to experience a place with a bit of fame, but just know that it's on the pricey side.

I was not ready since it was a menu you had to scan and view in your phone. I ordered water and it came within a few minutes but then he never came back to take my food order. I had to stop him and call him over when he was at another table. I ordered the "city" which was a hero sized bread with a slice of chicken breast, bacon and a piece of lettuce. It didn't taste bad but the bread was so toasted that I could barely bite into it. I left about 75% of the sandwich because I only at the middle which was less toasted. He never came back to check up on me and I ended up going to the counter inside to pay. Maybe this is how it's done in Italy but it was very odd. It wasn't even busy which made it very frustrating. I could understand if it was packed and a lot of tables had to be served but it wasn't at all! Definitely would not come back and would not recommend.

Caprese had unripe tomatoes with generous uncut balls of fresh mozz and arugula, not basil. I'd expect this caprese in a mall, not this kind of restaurant. Meatballs were battered and the Milanese sauce was beautifully green but bland. My main was the pork cutlet. Very thin, big and not too greasy. Tasty but underwhelming. Served with some crispy potatoes, plus iceberg lettuce. Meh. Risotto Milanese should have been easy, right? Flavor was very good but the rice was not cooked enough, somewhat crunchy. Not great. Dessert was tiramisu and that was pretty good. Espressos were great. So many restaurants in this area, I'd skip this one.
