Not sure if…read morethose alone were worth the money because with the conversion they easily reached $20 USD each. But they were tasty. I'm writing this review to talk about the small plate of treats they offered us while we sat at the bar: * Tomato w/ ricotta cheese: As expected, good quality ricotta. The tomato was nice and light. Overall, what you see is what you taste. * Zucchini w/ dab of tomato sauce on top: Very light and simple. Not much flavor from the sauce but I think the zucchini is meant to lead here. * Shrimp w/ avocado cream: Absolutely my favorite. Soft and sweet! * Bufula mozzarella: PERFECT temperature. Mozzarella shell is not restrictive at all.

Wonderful cocktail bar. Set up with an American attention to service and ambience (it is decorated…read moreas the internal of a luxury boat or yacht), it offers a menu of exceptionally well crafted cocktails. Served with a few munchies (no Milanese "aperitivo", you mind: this is a pre or post dinner place, or you can order from the full restaurant menu) and a glass of iced water (not American size and no refill was offered though). The prices are high even for Milan standards but 15 euros for a well crafted cocktail in a stylish location is well spent for me. Small and cozy, gentle music, not crowded. Will be back, oh yeah.

#64-2016: After my…read morehappy hour (with the excuse of trading star wars figurines collected with shopping at a famous Italian supermarket chain) with some fellow yelps, here I am writing an update to this truly remarkable place! FIRST OFF... just follow these simple directions. As soon as you see the arena look for the next available light and turn onto Via Canonica, right away you shall find a small square on your right and there you will find this jewel. Yes... The decor is rather cliché (a crossover between tacky Maya and ethnic Africa). BEWARE for groups bigger than... say 4, you will be placed on these RATHER uncomfortable high chairs around a weird bongo-shaped high table that is smaller than the smaller tables and risks being kicked over too easily... But ENOUGH of the negative aspects... Lemme sing the praises of this place... We had an aperitivo (fixed price 11€ regardless if the beverage chosen) and had access to the quite varied and undoubtedly good buffet. Note the plates are disposable and you are engouraged NOT to use them twice. The same shouldn't be for forks but I have seen many toss those as well. What was available? Pizza chunks, pasta (I counted at least 5 different options), risotto (lovely), chicken, potatoes and bacon bites, garbanzo beans, couscous, filled zucchinis, fresh sliced fruits, lasagne (both original as well as veggie)... and a whole bunch of other things that were deliciously kept warm. The more the evening progressed the more new items were brought). And... to top it all off.. a surprisingly good tiramisù... There is no limit on how many times you can serve yourself... so splurge away my friends... Now.. on to my beloved (and truly missed) cocktails... I am a sucker for them cocktails presented in either a carved melon, pineapple or coconut shell. What I ordered should have come in a melon but they had finished it so they offered a pineapple instead. .. YUMMIE... They offer non-alcohol options, simple cocktails, dry options, elaborated drinks, I would imagine this place could satisfy all types of taste... from girly girl to macho men (NO beer here though). Cocktails are well balanced (the guys knows how to mix) and NOT skimpy on the alcohol.. And, another truly appreciated touch was the waiter coming to the table with tiny shot glasses filled with fruit smoothies, what a nice touch... Let's just say... I'll BE BACK SOON!!

The best was the spinach ravioli and fracado drink. This was such a good deal!! Very worth it and we totally could have just had dinner here with small plates. By the time we passed by at 21:00, it was popping outside. We did see some flies around the kitchen, by the desserts. Which is why it's not 5 stars.

The inside is small, with the bar located where there was once the pulpit. Cocktails are not fancy or super elaborate - I always get something simple like a Spritz - aperitivo food is neither huge in variety nor special but they have the basic stuff (chips and olives) and the atmosphere is cool and very relaxed (no fancy dresses, stilettos or blazers). I especially love to come here on hot summer evenings for a drink before dining in my favorite Chinatown restaurants, because inside it is dark and cold, perfect for the heat. I still have to try it for after dinner drinks!

The atmosphere is cool: not very bright and even when full, feels empty and impersonal - like a church! The service could have been more attentive but the two bartenders did better than one would expect given how many people were clamoring for their attention. Shots here are cheap, and they have a huge variety. I ordered the Moscow Mule which was excellent. They also accept credit cards, which isn't necessarily the norm in Milano, but gives them extra points in my book.
