Wow, Il Tempio d'Oro is missing an English review. How comes?…read more This is one of the "secret" places of the Milanese "Aperitivo" (happy hour), the pre-dinner drink which comes with a buffet dinner of its own :-) The offering of Il Tempio d'Oro during their happy hour is quite good and extensive, can happily substitute dinner, and the drinks and beers are all good and not terribly expensive. Outside buffet hours, the menu is still very good, but not that cheap. The place is very informal/"alternative" style, and can accomodate groups, maybe not extremely large ones. Pets are welcome :-)

We stopped in here on a Saturday night for the infamous "apertivo."…read more This is a no frills place, with lots of tables crammed too close together. I felt like we were packed in like sardines - it was impossible to get to our table or for the servers to get through. The service was also very slow. It was fairly busy because of the apertivo hours, but there were at least 4 servers, and considering the size of the place, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did for service. We had to flag someone down to order because nobody ever came to help us. Anyhow, this is definitely a great spot for apertivo. If you aren't sure what that is - it's like happy hour, except you get food along with your drink purchase. Prices were reasonable - I had the largest Hoegaarden I've ever seen and it was only 6 euros. They set up a pretty sizeable buffet, which you are free to enjoy as many times as you'd like. The food was pretty good and it was a decent selection. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking out!

The apperitivo here was pretty good and reasonably priced, no more than about 8 or 10 euros; there was a variety of snacks including fresh fruit, pizza, meatballs, and salad. We were worried that we would not get seating, because this place is a real hot spot. Luckily there were other people there who knew my friends, so they put two tables together for us. White leather seats, glass tables, I felt like I was in Miami for a moment, definitely a contemporary American influence. I enjoyed being here on a Friday evening, Milano is expensive, since the subway stops running at midnight; this was a nice middle ground from a club. You can go back on the train to avoid paying cab fare. Although, this spot is not metro accessible you have to take about a 10 to 15 minute walk from Cardusio or Grand Centrale Station. But the beauty of it is that there did not appear to be a lot of other places quite like this, and because of its exclusive/somewhat excluded location Deseo attracts a very sensible crowd.
