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.

We weren't planning to dine here; however, our server won us over. She was very professional, spoke great English and gave amazing recommendations. We tried their amuse bouche (venison tartare), burrata, zebra, and beef filet. The venison tartare was delicious! My sister - a very picky eater - loved it! I was ecstatic, too. The burrata was good, not great though. The yellow tomato sauce added too much grassiness for my liking (maybe best for people who like crisp tomato flavors). The zebra was tasty - a bit gamy (to be expected). The regular beef steak was very tender. There's plenty of room outdoors and the feels quite secluded despite its central location. The outdoor location is quiet, and the seats are comfortable. Thank you for a great visit!

Service was excellent as the servers patiently explained all the exotic cuts & made good recommendations & were always attentive. We ordered 9 different meats to try which were all seasoned & cooked to perfection (mostly at a medium temp) & 3 different sides which were underwhelming. We were also oversold on the sauces. Desserts were decent too. (No-bake) Cheesecake is actually a tasting of 4 different toppings & the chocolate cake was served cold (no lava here). Prices were fair & menu was top quality. Would recommend making a res & expecting to circle the block a few times looking for parking, otherwise there's a garage at 5€/hr till midnight.

We had a cullatello and burrata dish ( all ingredients finely chosen and very tasty), accompanied by soft foccaccia, and an Angus tagliata - top quality meat, perfect cooking , I'm really choosy about eating raw / half raw meat but that was really exquisite. All sprinkled by a fantastic Barolo ( Rocche Costamagna) that wasn't at all overpriced ( I loved that wine so much that I checked the detail price and find it to be just several bucks lower than the restaurant's price). I would love to come back here. Warmly recommended.

We ordered three overpriced steaks (which we found were frozen, as most of their steaks are, apparently), an overpriced bottle of wine and appetizers, sides and salad. Three of the four appetizers finally arrived after 30 minutes, the fourth even later still. Salads, other sides and steaks after two hours never happened, whilst other tables were served we patiently waited until we finally gathered ourselves after 10 pm without being served told the manager we were leaving and asked for the check, the flustered manager charged us for the bottled water, mediocre bottle of wine, four overpriced greasy pastrami sliders and of course obligatory service /bread charge and he then had the gaul to add to the bill items that still never made it to the table! Very scummy and scammy experience at Varrone Milano. If you are looking for a great steak, look somewhere else.

The burger, the surf and turf was good. Lots of crayfish bursting out. Overall, it was a decent burger but I'm not sure whether the beef or the fish was the star and thus the burger while tasted good didn't shine. What did shine were the chips/crisps. It's a large order to share and it tastes delicious. The beer though, was a good selection. One thing is I had to ask for the bar menu. Perhaps they just assumed I'd be happy with looking at the taps. The service, informative, polite, patient, though not overly friendly. I'd go again if not just for the beer and chips.
