After numerous years of trips for business to Italy and Milan I finally found a place that can…read moreserve a decent cup of coffee and who actually cares about what goes into it. The people at Taglio offer a wide variety of specialty coffee from different origins and where one can select the method (V60, Aeropress etc). Execution is good but their own roast is good (don't get me wrong it totally beats anything else from Italy) but they also have coffee from other roasters. All together the coffee itself is a reason to visit but Taglio is so much more as they also serve excellent food. The pasta I had was a nice example of well-made uncomplicated food. They are also a deli so sell a lot of charcuteries and cheeses as well as other food items (tea, coffee, beverages, granola etc) The service was nice, friendly, mostly English speaking and fairly fast and they also have free wifi (however with mandatory facebook login) so a place I will visit again. Only minor drawback would be the price level - dinner easily came to €50 per head and while not super-expensive it is still a bit on the high side for more of a neighborhood place.

Taglio was a highlight of our dining experience while in Milano. The service was exceptionally…read morefriendly and pleasant. The interior was charming and spacious. The option to order brunch after noon was a wonderful surprise and most welcome to California tourists such as ourselves. We ordered the tagliere (salumi platter) and eggs Benedict. Delicious. We dined in the back room overlooking the industrious kitchen. Both male and female chefs! I highly recommend this charming, spacious restaurant/deli in the Navigli district.

The view and the friendly service deserve at least 3.5-4 stars. The food gets in the way here…read more We started with caprese salad and the meatballs with the green Milanese sauce. 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.

The servers also made the perfect wine recommendations to go along with our meal. I wish I had more time to go back and try some of the other delicious and creative plates!

My first 2 Michelin star restaurant experience!…read more You definitely have to make reservations in advance; this experience will take at least 3-4 hours. A bit out of the way from the the central Milan area, but worth the trip! This is the most expensive meal I've had to the date. I ordered the Summer menu (shorter and cheaper than their Territories menu). The whole table must have the same menu since they bring everyone's next course at the same time and explain the dish in Italian or English (depending on your preference). There are a lot of course but each one is quite small. If there's something you do not like on the menu (which they let you preview before choosing), you can ask them to substitute it. I did not want the purple shrimp, so they offered to substitute it with a fish dish and ultimately served me the red mullet from their territories menu. I ended up trying a lot of new dishes here; it was my first time eating all of the fish they served and they did it well. Most of the other dishes were good but didn't stand out to me (e.g. the dishes with the veal). Surprisingly, my absolute favorite dish had to be the pureed 'cicerchie' from Puglia, with wild chicory, figs must and 'lampascioni' in raspberries vinegar. It is vegetarian, but it was so flavorful and homey; I loved it! If I could order just this, I would be ordering from here every week! Afterward, ordered an espresso (not included in the meal price). Tasted like the espresso served at most other non-Michelin star restaurants but was much more expensive. One of the chefs came out to chat with each table, and his passion for creating foods to represent the "Italian kitchen" (diverse because of all the different regions in Italy) was VERY evident and was a joy to see. Although it's a very expensive meal, I would definitely recommend stopping by here once to experience the food and atmosphere.

We got the last table outside in front of the restaurant - inside, it was a full house. Adorable place and friendly - if a bit harried - service. Well, I was right - this was one of the top two versions of amatriciana pasta we have ever had! And my carbonara was textbook perfect, too. We had ordered a veal Milanese, as well, but then the heavens opened up. Thankfully, we were full, as we had to abandon our plates and huddle under the awning with everyone else! They quickly filled up with rain. We cancelled the veal with plans to return. Marvelous!

I think it's probably due to the coordinated table cloth and uniform of the waiters and waitresses. It's the first thing I noticed and it's what set it apart from the other restaurants. I love the fresh flowers that every table had. From the moment we entered, we were warmly greeted with two staffs and beautiful smiles. I ordered the Risotto with escapee courgettes, mussels. This is the best risotto I've ever had. The taste lingers in my mouth even till today. I would go back to have this again and again. The creamy taste and perfectly cooked risotto is just flawless! The mussels were a nice touch. My daughter had the Spaghetti cavalier cocco with tomato, basil and cows milk stracciatella. It looks simple but oooh so amazingly delicious!!! With the fresh creamy cheese. It was a delightful treat in our mouth. The gelato didn't make it to the photo but it was a perfectly finishing touch. It was an amazing experience dining with Savini.
