They hosted Becomedy UK's stand up comedy show featuring Italian comedians speaking in English. It which was quite funny & also nice to mingle with other expats. Check in was incredibly slow & for some reason we were sat away from the rest of our party when we arrived, instead of in our reserved chairs. At intermission, we moved ourselves. The bar was limited & there was nothing to eat offered which was disappointing. They did offer table service & the servers were polite. The host of the show was great & most of the comedians greeted & interacted with guests when it was over.

Piccolo Teatro Grassi is one of the three theaters operated by The Piccolo Teatro della Citta di…read moreMilano (The Little Theatre of the City of Milan). It is named for Paolo Grassi, one of the theater's founders. I wasn't able to attend a performance in the theatre, but did attend a performance for children, in the building courtyard. The actors and staging were wonderful, and the children laughed uproariously. Five Stars. As an aside: There is a very sobering plaque on the outside wall of Piccolo Teatro Grassi, that roughly translates from Italian: "HERE BETWEEN September 8, 1943 April 25, 1945 AND NOW HAVE FOUND THE TORTURE AND DEATH HUNDREDS OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF PRISONERS OF FASCISTI LITTLE THEATRE HAS MADE THIS EDIFICIOUN CENTER AND A SYMBOL OF REBIRTH OF CULTURAL AND DEMOCRATIC LIFE OF MILAN" Thank You, Google Translate!, and Thank You, Piccolo Teatro della Citta di Milano.

Most of the place around this area served American style Italian food buffet style with small bites of pizzas, and chips and fish rolls. A bit odd this place was fusion of everything yet no consistent good theme. They bought out bread in a paper bag. I thought it was my doggie bag lol. Anyways, let's get to good review. The papadelle pasta was damn good with nice flavor. The ravioli, well that could use some improvement - the chef added shrimp and chicken and asparagus on top of a white sauce. It definitely wasn't bad, but the dish didn't seem to have a theme, kinda toss everything in there. Drinks were 9 euro yikes - kinda pricey! Do try place. Nice ambiance. And the food isn't that bad.
