Wonderful with the excellent table side olive oil. The Caprese Salad was a huge sliced mozzarella ball, giant tomato, pesto sauce, and a micro green to round it out. Excellent! I enjoyed the Diavola Pizza. The spicy salami was flavorful. Loved dipping the crust ends in the table side olive oil. Really tasty pizza. Great service especially from the bartender as we waited for an open table. Without a reservation (I'd suggest one) they were still able to fit us in within 30 minutes (maybe 20). Definitely give them a visit. You'll enjoy it!

The menu is huge and I struggled picking something to eat but I saw the lady next to me had Branzino with pasta so I ordered that. The bread basket at the table was delicious and I snacked on that. Unfortunately, I was exhausted so I took my meal to-go and ate it in my hotel room. It was so delicious. It lived up to all of the hype that people say about pasta in Italy. I look forward to coming back here and trying more items on the menu. I was able to observe a few other people's meals so I know when I go back I'm trying the lamb chops, a few other pasta dishes and dessert. Also, before leaving I purchased some olive oil as a souviner for someone. I look forward to trying it.

Our last night in Milan we went to this fine establishment. It serves many types of meats,…read moreincluding wild boar. A basket of breads and a bowl of olives were served to us by our waiter, Fabio. I asked his recommendation for a nice red wine that was smooth. He chose a delicious wine, perfect for the main dish beef I planned to order. My husband ordered a wonderful fizzy water that we hope we can find at home. I am celiac, so no bread for me. However, my husband said the pillowy focaccia was his favorite out of the selections in the basket. Let me tell you about the olives: they were the best green olives I have ever had, popping with garlic flavor, and their texture was perfect. They tasted home-made to me! We started the meal with a selection of cheeses which came with a pot of honey and a pot of a caramelized red onion-reduced in red wine and sweetened with a little sugar. The onion condiment was divine. It was best when topped on the truffle cheese. Main courses arrived later. My steak fillet was the softest beef I have ever eaten. In fact, it was truly the best steak I have ever eaten. Cooked to perfection! My husband ordered the sea bass and grilled veggies. We split the veggies. For dessert my husband selected a flan-like dessert that was smooth and silky while I chose a green apple sorbet that had a French Norman brandy (Calvados) on top. This was a sensational pop of flavors. Ending the meal with coffee, we promised ourselves to return on our next trip to Milano. Thank Fabio for excellent service and for making our last dinner in Milan a meal to remember!

The veal was tender enough to not need a knife. And if you're one to love marrow, as is my gf, then it's perfectly spreadable on a slice of bread from the plentiful basket. The Ravioli was almost a religious experience; smooth texture of goat cheese with a touch or artichoke and just under al dente shell. For dessert: chocolate cake which was a layered slice of heaven with a crunchy crust, and lemon meringue with a graham cracker and singed fluffy top, both freshly homemade Make a reservation in advan though.

For a Friday night, it was not very crowded but would not have ever walked by this place had it not been planned. This place focuses on their risottos, so much so that at the end of your meal they give you a small booklet of their risotto recipes as a gift! Each risotto takes 25 minutes to make and requires you to order a minimum of two portions per risotto (bring a friend!). The appetizer was top notch - it was all vegetarian and had great flavors and textures. The star of the show however was the risotto. I could smell the red wine in the risotto (as well as see it), and it made the flavor of the dish so rich. The sausage was a great addition to the dish as well. Ended the night with some espresso; I'm not an expert on this but it tasted solid to me. Service was great as well; it was a very intimate experience since there were only three tables being served total while I was there, and they closed up the restaurant after I left. The amount of tables served definitely is not indicative of how good the food is! If you're looking for a wide selection of great risotto, this is a great place to go!

We had a long layover in Milan, and decided to check out what Milan was best known for: Risotto…read more This place was a few blocks from our hotel, so we decided to check it out. We went on what was clearly a packed night, and there should've been no way we would get a table. The staff however told us that if we were willing to wait outside for half an hour or so, they should be able to squeeze us in. The area is nice, so we took a short walk and came back, where we were promptly thanked for your waiting and given a table. The first thing the waiters will tell you is that if you would like to order risotto, there's uusally a 25 minute wait time, as they make it fresh to order. The second thing they'll tell you is that you should really try the risotto. So we did. We ordered the risotto Milanese with ossobucco, and the cassouella to nibble on while we waited for the risotto. Cassouella is a typical northern Italian cabbage stew that's usually eaten in wintertime. This one included sausage and veal as well, both of which were extremely tender. I'd tried this dish before, but something about the way this restaurant made it, made the flavors just blend so well together. The Risotto and Ossobucco were phenomenal. The risotto itself was just so much more flavorful than you'd expect a risotto to be, but combined with the juices from the Ossobucco it was on a completely different level. The Ossobucco itself was perfect. It wasn't too tender, and had just enough of a chew to it to counteract the soft texture of the risotto. To top everything off, the owner came by at the end of our meal, and handed us a small 5 page recipe pamphlet. He said that he gives them away in case anyone wants to try making his risotto at home. What a wonderful experience
