    On the river
    JackE D.

    Food was only okay. Bread was dry and not served with oil or butter or anything. Service was slow and un helpful. Asked for recommendations and was given eyerolls. Ambiance was nice but there are definitly better choices. Skip this one

    Risotto alla milanese con ossobuco, molto buono!
    Andrea O.

    Oggi ero in vena di un classico milanese (sono sempre in vena in realtà...) ed ero sui navigli sul presto. Tutti i ristoranti aprono verso le 12:15, ma questo era aperto già verso le 11:45 o anche prima, visto che c'erano già persone che mangiavano quando sono arrivato. Benissimo, non avevo voglia di aspettare mezz'ora. Mi siedo fuori e ordino il risotto alla milanese con l'ossobuco. Attendo il giusto, visto che il risotto è fatto al momento, e ricevo un bel piatto abbondante con due ossobuchi. Li vedo un po' pallidini, il che mi insospettisce, ma poi lo assaggio di dubbio passano, tutto buonissimo. Ho leccato il piatto!

    Sitting outside on the river was very tranquil although many people on a Sunday afternoon. Got lucky and got a great table under an umbrella. Quite busy but worth the wait. Started with a selection of local cheeses and although small for 5 persons all of them great. The eggplant appetizer was good to share and tasty. The salads are quite large and great.

    I had really high expectations for this place based on the reviews but was underwhelmed. Had the tagliatelle with ham and zucchini. It was a bit too salty for my taste but the tagliatelle was cooked well. Their wine options are limited if you're ordering by the glass. It was either a white dry wine or prosecco or 2 types of red wine. The bread was also very boring in my opinion. Very cute atmosphere and views of the canal though. Would be great for date night.

    This restaurant was right on the water where we easily got a table outside for 2 with no reservations. The food was good, not anything extraordinary and as mentioned before pricey. The menu was very small and the wait staff was nice but didn't check in much. Aside from the food, this outdoor seating was filled with swarming mosquitoes. We were not sitting for more than 2 minutes when we got at least 10 bug bites each. If we didn't begin ordering, I would have gotten up right there but instead I was forced to pay 10 Euro for bug spray from a guy selling it on the side of the road.

    Good sized ozzo buco, plates could be shared. The mussels were good, not spicy at all.

    A lovely location along the canal. Only disappointing thing is the street hawkers will not leave you alone. I started with bacon and black bread. It was actually Lardo. Not horrible but too rich for my taste and the texture eventually did me in. My main course was tagliatelle with mushrooms. The portion was very generous and I couldn't finish it all. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the Porta Genova area.

    Go here to get a classic italian pasta while also having a great view of Navigli in a casual atmosphere(in the warmer months). I recommend to sit outside if its warm, but if not the inside of Luca e Andrea is also very cute. The menu is on the smaller and simpler side and the ingredients are fresh.

    Osso Buco with Risotto. I guess the main dish to get in Milan and it is definitely worth it!
    Steve R.

    Limited review. Loved the area and the one dish I got at this restaurant. I ordered the osso buco and risotto which was delicious. The meat was perfectly tender and the risotto was creamy and flavorful. The restaurant seems to be a little off from the main tourist areas in the Nivigli district which is well worth the visit. Nice to get a bite near the river.

    That veal....... :')
    Lisa L.

    First meal in Italy ;) so of course very sentimental and all I remember is DELICIOUS. Even despite waiting with starving tummies for over one hour after getting our bottle of rosso.....all I can remember is how much I enjoyed that food. I had the veal and potatoes. Some kind of amazing lemony sauce. Soft soft juicy meat. Oh my goodness. That's all. I loved it!

    A beautiful little place along the Navigli Grande Canal. I was one of the only three tables that were occupied, however this did not deter from the quality of the food. I had a simple spaghettoni with traditional red sauce and it was incredible! I also recommend the house Sangiovese red wine... yum, yum, yum!

    The best of a night at several bars on the Navigli. Read my profile and my reviews, you'll find…read morethat I am a pretty experienced booze hound. Pinch is a total replica of American hipster craft cocktail bars, in Milan. The bartenders wear suspenders and do tricks with shakers. I'm waiting for an ironic mustache, preferably like the Moretti guy has. The drinks are exceptional. When I was there, they had one made of green tomatoes and mountain pine liqueur that was a taste party in my mouth. The aperitivo snacks are also really excellent, a small tray of various interesting crunchy things. No potato chips -- we're talking samosas in wonton wrappers with sweet chili sauce, Indian curry rice, a ham-arugula roll, and baba ghanoush. My second drink didn't quite match the first, but it was close. Also, the only bar in Milan that gave me *zero* grief about wanting a simple glass of tap water. In fact, they just give you one. Mega bonus points for that. I'm sick of paying for "aqua panna Toscana" that I neither need nor want. Been drinking Milan tap water in my hotel room for four days now. It's fine. Pour it on. Food offerings from the regular menu are a little hit or miss, but on the other hand, I had kind of stuffed myself with aperitivo. Had I been hungry, might've been a different story.

    Another perfect cocktails bar in Navigli! And yet I thought this Milanese neighborhood was only…read morefilled with bars with bad & cheap drinks, loud music and greasy aperitivo food (well, there are plenty of bars like that but thankfully not all of them). Pinch is a new bar right in Ripa di Porta Ticinese, not in the pedestrian part of the Naviglio, which means they don't have outside seating - except for the tables at the windows. It has a retro vibe, as if you entered a 1920s bar, dim lights, soft 1920's music; elegant but not ostentatious atmosphere. The cocktails list has about 15 signature cocktails, all with an explanation of the alcoholic level (medium or high), taste (fresh, spicy, bitter, etc.) and of course the ingredients, classic cocktails with a twist, made extremely well, with good ingredients. They also have a food menu but I didn't check it out since we were there for the aperitivo - which then turned into after-dinner drinks. I had the "South of the Border" with tequila, chartreuse vert, lime juice, sugar syrup and fresh mint, it was fresh and delicious, then I had another one and another one... just to be sure they were made perfectly ;) For the aperitivo, our cocktails were 8 euro each and the waiter (who looked like Robert Pattinson) brough a small tray with some snacks: rice and salad in small glasses, chips, mini-sandwiches and a couple of vol-au-vents - not enough to fill our stomachs completely but also not the average greasy aperitivo food. Nice staff, a full bar with quality bottles and clean bathrooms complete the experience. Too bad it's far from my house, but worth the subway trip back!

To start, my friend and I tried the red mullet with chestnut creme and the spicy duck with pumpkin fritter. Both dishes were delicious but I especially liked the duck. The depth of flavor in both the tender meat and the fritters made for an auspicious start to the meal. We followed up by splitting the Spaghettoni "Benedetto Cavalieri". I can tell why it never leaves the menu. So simple, but perfectly executed. Finally, the pork belly. The star of this dish was the celeriac cream. So refreshing next to the heavy pork belly. The food was great but what really stood out was how nice everyone was! The service in the well-appointed dining room was top notch with wine advice and care to describe each ingredient, but the folks at Belè went even above this. In a careless error, I left my phone at the restaurant and it was too late to retrieve it before an early flight the next afternoon. The restaurant helped me get it shipped back and stayed in contact to make sure I received it. Go for the food, stay for the wonderful people, and check for your phone before you leave!

The restaurant was very clean, sleek and upscale. The menu was very cute with descriptions of each option with cute cartoon sketches of the ingredients. We enjoyed all the courses! The menu may be seasonal. I loved the first app of pears and leeks. I loved my taglioni with truffle. My partner enjoyed his goat cheese risotto. For our entrees, we both thought the duck and the steak were phenomenal. I would definitely come back here again in the future if I find myself in Milan again.

We wanted to take our guests to the Navigli district to show them the river, have a great meal and experience the nightlife after the sun went down. I emailed several restaurants along the Navigli a few days before to ask if they would be able to accommodate 28 people. For one reason or another, I couldn't get anyone to take us! But Mattia Bilotta at the Asso Di Fiori - Osteria dei Formaggi emailed me back right away and was happy to have us. He asked that we pick a few antipasti, a few primi Piatti, a few secondi piati and a few desserts so that they could be ready in advance. When we got off the subway, there was a lot of graffiti on the walls of the buildings and I was worried that I was in a bad part of town as we walked up to the restaurant. But once we reached the river from the subway, I felt better about it. And when I entered the restaurant to let them know that we were here, there was a huge stuffed cow in the middle of the dining room! I knew the kids would LOVE that, but I was not prepared for how much the adults would love it. Once we were seated, Mr. Bilotta brought out a small black board with the meals we agreed on in advance written on the menu. He also allowed us to order the specials of the day, which were written on a big black board on one wall of the restaurant. This meal was everyone's favorite of the trip, by far. Every dish that came out was more incredible than the last. Each person ordered what they wanted, but when the food came out, it was so delicious they were compelled to pass their dishes to people sitting around them saying, "you HAVE to try this!!" We sat and laughed and ate for hours. Some people even ordered more entrées after they were done because the food was so good! Visited June 2013
