Heard great things online, recommend by chatGPT and booked a reservation…read more Small place, friendly service, but time limit on the table, so if the service is a bit slow, you might be mid dessert and you're being asked to leave when the next party has arrived. Not a big deal, they let you know there is a time limit, but maybe they should keep the service flowing so that doesn't happen. The interior decorator here did a great job with the time warp back to the mid 20th century. Cool vibe. Food was ok. Perhaps using old recipes from the time period is not so good for a tourist? I wasn't really impressed with the food, but I don't have a cultural link to Milanese food to begin with, so I don't think I was fully able to appreciate it. If my grandmother made this when i was a kid, perhaps it would have been better, but the meal was lost on me. There are plenty of spots to grab a good meal, I'd only recommend this place if you have a fond memory of the menu items or you really want to time travel and post to social media.

Clean, sharp, no fluff -- just the right texture, the right chill, like someone back there actually gives a damn. The antipasti come out humble, no overstyled plating, just real food with flavor that speaks louder than it looks. Service is smooth, like they have done this a thousand times and still somehow care. It is the kind of place you remember not for one thing, but for how it all quietly works.

It went much quicker and I enjoyed a nice conversation with the bartender. Great service from all the staff! 5* Thanks to an earlier recommendation from a tour guide, I wanted to try the local specialty, the veal cutlet. They had it on the menu, so it was an easy choice. It reminded me of a Wienerschnitzel. The crossed cuts in the breading were something I noticed in other Milan restaurants. I enjoyed the tomatoes and basil. All the veggies have been so so fresh. It has been a welcome delight with meals. It was a tasty dish. I had the opportunity to try the Ossobucco (veal shank) with saffron risotto. Wow, the veal was incredibly tender. Loved it and would have preferred it over the cutlet. The risotto was supposed to be a Milan specialty, so it was nice to try. And the bread plate? How often does the free bread plate get its own entry? Well, these bread "chips" (?) were so good...fresh (see picture). they practically melted in the mouth. I couldn't get enough. Loved this little neighborhood gem. I'd definitely go back and wholeheartedly recommend them.

I couldn't leave without trying what Milan is known for, their Milanese risotto and also pasta. I was originally going to go to Risoelatte based off Yelp reviews but they were fully booked for the day and I had to catch a plane in an hour so I walked down the street to Locatelli Milano and I'm so glad I did! Everyone was Italian and dressed impeccably in perfect fitting suits and each person had a glass of wine with their lunch on the table. There were no other tourists there (except for me). I ordered two first courses (which the waiter double checked and said, "Sorry, excuse me. So you want TWO first courses?" I said "YES!") and got a crispy saffron risotto and spaghetti with uni and black garlic. JUST AMAZING! I will never be able to eat risotto in NYC (where I'm from) ever again.

The conchetta was quite dry and bland. Just a thin pork cutlet breaded that needed salt and/or a dipping sauce. And by the bone, still very raw. I informed the server, but they just dismissed me and said it's normal. Is it really normal to serve raw pork?? For it being their "signature dish", I was hoping for it to be better. Risotto was al dente and pretty good. We got 2 portions but when serving, we saw them save a portion for a table that didnt order any risotto. Nice, for that table. but it seems like we didn't get the full 2 portions.

All three were 4.0 with over 1000+ reviews on Google. This spot advertised live music, so it won the vote. Loved the food (so fresh), service, and view from enclosed and heated patio. Thanks to our waiter, Claudio, who made the experience. He was helpful with suggestions and ensured we had everything we wanted. I had to laugh as I asked for olive oil, and he was already spinning around from another table with it in hand. Bravo! I had the Paccheri 'Nduja pasta with spicy red sauce. It was very good. There was a beautiful melting ball of stracciatella cheese (buffalo...Stracciatella di bufala). Even the basil leaf was wonderful. I cut into it and the aroma of basil was noticeable..fresh! Everything just tasted so delightful together. I had to soak up the remaining sauce with bread so as none went to waste. So, so good. I was thinking ice cream elsewhere, but Claudio suggested their desserts. I enjoyed the demonstration with their plate of 5 or 6 choices. I went with the Panna Cotta custard with fresh fruit. It was wonderful. Check out the picture, almost too pretty to eat. Loved the continued music theme in the presentation. Speaking of music, the live piano keyboard singer started at 8.30pm. It was a nice touch. I'd definitely recommend this place even for outside the neighborhood visitors.
