The 2 dishes we got was ok, but not for the price. The bread was from yesterday or perhaps been cut this morning dry and tasteless. The waitress spoke little to no English, and in the middle of our meal the started to take away Parmesan from our table ?? Definitely sub standard for Milan even if the price was 1/2. Would not recommend!

Based on the photos that people have posted of this establishment so far, it looks like a dump. But walk in, walk through the narrow hallway, past the bathroom and the kitchen, and you are transported to an absolutely adorable candle-lit garden-like restaurant with a mini fountain in the middle. So romantic. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Milan; great atmosphere (as described above), good food, good price, and friendly staff. Recommended dishes: -Spaghetti with tomato sauce. Sounds plain... but absolutely divine, and hands down the BEST I've ever had. Maybe it's because I haven't tried a lot in Italy... but no matter. Trattoria Toscana does it great. -Pesto lasagna. Not your average lasagna but the pesto is really good! The seafood spaghetti was not the best I've had, but it was solid. I also got the sea bass to share with my friend, and it was pretty bland and passable. They do good pasta, but everything else is mediocre. And everything is priced extremely reasonably! Average plate of pasta is under 10 euros. The staff here are really nice and accommodating. My friend was indecisive about two dishes, and the waitress just let him have one for free, "so we could all try it, *wink." So nice of her! Highly recommend this place for a group dinner (there is a lot of seating), or a romantic date!

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 current owner who is the son-in-law of the original owner took our order. I ordered the pappardelle Raghu with rabbit and my hubby ordered the braised veal. The veal came with a side of pickled zucchini. I ordered a Da Mauro special salad which was radicchio, tomato, and Parmesan shavings. The salad had no dressing. The cheese was the dressing and it was good. The veal was tender and the tomato sauce was tasty. My pappardelle was good not quite al dente but the sauce was good and the meat was tender. Tasted like chicken ;-) For dessert, I ordered the seasonal fresh fruit with gelato and hubby had wanted a port which they did not carry but the owner recommended something similar but better he said. He tried it but at first thought it was sweeter than he'd liked but after the 2nd sip, it started to grow on him. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere friendly with the servers chit chatting with customers like old friend.

Well we ended up choosing La Carbonaia and we were not left disappointed, or at least, not completely. The place is very small and characteristic, the grill is front and center with a display of costate fiorentine in front. I like the vibe. They bring a complimentary appetizer, mondeghili, typical Milanese fried meat balls, de-li-cious. I order a grigliata mista and the others order a fiorentina. The grigliata mista is kind of disappointing, especially the serving size. It's a very small plate with just three types of meats, I expected more quantity. It was very good, but not filling at all. The fiorentina was delicious, with some very tender pieces and other not so tender ones. Very rare, they don't even ask how you want it, that's the way you have to have it anyway, all in all a good experience.
