Typically, Italian pizzerias will have a long list of topping combinations but never a full a-la-carte ingredient list. Not Mani in Pasta! On your hand-tossed Neapolitan pizza crust, you can choose to add anything from meat to cheese to vegetarian, with almost all toppings for €1 each. Unless you had to get a mega-decked pizza, you can get a nice medium-sized pizza for less than €10 with toppings of your choice! Customization isn't the only thing that's great about Mani in Pasta. The ingredients are truly top-notch, and the pizza is made-to-order so you are certainly getting a top-quality, hot pizza that is completely tailored to your taste by you and still maintained the authenticity of the Italian cuisine that emphasizes the freshness of true ingredients. If you are keen about not going to a tourist trap, this is definitely the spot for you, because we were the only non-Italians in there and got some curious looks from the Italian crowd on why we were eating so far from the Duomo. Did I mention that local Italians love this place? What more evidence do you need to prove that this is good pizza! --- tl;dr version: 1) Rare customizable pizza joint in Italy 2) Made-to-order with toppings fully customizable 3) Recommended for authentic yet customizable pizza

It's our fourth day in Milan and I can definitely say I've had better pasta and service. It wasn't anything bad, but it wasn't anything spectacular either. The bread they served were plain with no olive oil to dip it with, and their pasta did not taste like it was homemade. If you're in a rush then it's ok, but there are so many other places nearby as well, just sayin.

I went with the tasting menu...the assorted cold cuts, Rissoto Isola Della Scala (Veal & Pork with cinnamon), the stuffed rabbit, and a fig and chocolate mousse with a 12yr Demerara Rum for desert. Oh My God!! The flavors!! Totally unexpected and nothing short of amazing!! If you've somehow found this review, it means you've gone off the beaten track...Trattoria della Abele is not easy to find. Do yourself the favor and go the rest of way...make the leap of faith...and get in here for one of the best Italian meals you'll get in Milan!!!

I got to Milan starving and I wanted to eat somewhere close and local since I was staying at one of…read morethe neighbourhood slightly outside of city centre and I found this one. The place is small... No frills but just outside the restaurant there were tons of stickers showing their accolades for the food they serve so that was a good sign. Another good sign is the long waiting list of folks trying get a table for dinner after 9.45 pm on a Sunday night. The menu isn't long and they had a tasting menu so I opted for that. You can choose either meat or seafood with the tasting menu and you get three courses plus dessert for just €28! The first course I chose was this hake dish marinated in vinegar with carrots and onions. It was ok not amazing... If you're squirmish and don't want to eat small fish with their head on this is not the dish for you lol. The next dish is a cuttlefish and artichoke risotto. This place is known for its risotto and boy it was amazing. Never knew risotto was suppose to be cooked where each grain has a bite and not mushy.the delicate flavour of the cuttlefish and artichoke worked so well and the dish was perfectly seasoned. The dish was creamy and I found myself scraping for the last pieces of risotto on the dish! I want more! Lol. The third dish I got was grilled octopus. The dish seemed like it straight up came from the sea with the long tentacle of the octopus. The octopus was tender and have the taste of the sea... Went really well with the sun dried tomatoes. I was amazed of the beautiful colour and the texture... So tender. If you like seafood this will quench your thirst for it. It also went well with the prosecco I ordered. If you're not into seafood, stir clear from this because it is straight up a seafood type of dish... and it'll taste like meat marinated in sea water. For dessert since it was my first night back in Italy I hard to give homage to the tiramisu. The tiramisu was light and fluffy... Not too sweet... Not too much coffee flavour, perfectly balanced. As much as I enjoyed it, being the fourth dish ... I was stuffed! It's a good reminder for me when I make tiramisu that it shouldn't be too sweet and delicate and flavoured lightly by coffee. The staff were really nice and attended me well, they are pretty on point and have a great system working. I'd recommend making reservations if you can cause this place get busy! Overall the experience was good and the wait was worth it for this restaurant. Good value for the money and gave me a good experience on how it is like eating like a local in Milan.

The friendly owner, despite speaking little English, was very helpful in recommending dishes. Some dishes on the menu had English translations. After 8:30pm, more customers started trickling in.

At over 40 euros, the dish fed 3 people. Meat was tender but we liked the pasta dishes more. Overall, authentic food, friendly owner, and family atmosphere make this a good choice for a down-to-earth dining experience.
