Ayo y'all need to stop coming to this place cuz I always had a hard time getting a table!! Especially Friday and Saturday. That said..... a reservation is highly recommended. Food is amazing especially their pasta dishes, if you still have room after primi then def go for secondi and dessert. They are unique among Milanese restaurants in that they have a charcoal/fire grill for steaks and meat dishes. If you come here often they occasionally have a hit or miss new dish but nothing too crazy. Service is always impeccable, everyone treats you (at least me) like family and they know you by name, if you patronize often. They always try to get me drunk at the end of the meal by offering different digestifs and sometimes put the super high alcohol content in plastic bottle and have me take it (so they could open a new bottle haha) The dining room gets LOUD and probably too brightly lit for a romantic dinner but maybe the bar tables next to the kitchen ain't so bad for the date you try to impress?? read more

Nerino Dieci - Pasta finished in parmesan wheel - Mediterranean Near Me - Milan, Michigan

There were 6 of us at a family dinner. We ranged from local Milanese to visiting Californians and from vegetarians to those that would eat anything. It was a Wednesday night but the restaurant was full and at times a little noisy but we were given an excellent table. We ordered a variety of antipasti and all were fresh and delicious. I especially liked the black gnocco friti that could be eaten with anything. I also recommend the spaghetti with small tomatoes and a "load" of Parmesan. In the dining room, they mix the hot spaghetti and tomatoes in a carved out wheel of Parmesan. Super tasty and creamy! The staff was attentive but allowed us to take our time. Our server was Milo who was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. A definite winner in Milan. read more

Excellent experience at Nerino for our first night in Milan. The menu had something for everyone. It seemed like a place the locals went to dine. The service was top-tier (if you're from the USA...don't forget to that you have to ASK for the bill when you're done). We didn't feel rushed to leave at all (classic Italy). Each course was delivered at a great pace and we enjoyed every bite. House wine was also delicious (and only 15 euro!!!). Highly recommend!!! Add this spot to your list!!!! read more

Service was great. We were a party of 8 but we didn't make a reservation. Thankfully the staff were able to accompany us. Ambiance was great exterior wise. Food was delicious. I enjoyed everything except my steak. It was a little dry, hard, and I wish it was more tender(I ordered medium rare). It was starting to hurt my teeth. Could have been just me because I am not that good at cutting steak and I was putting huge bites into my mouth at once but I do recommend this. 9.7/10 :) read more

We made a reservation on their website on a weekday before leaving the US, which I highly recommend doing. The best restaurant experience we had in Milan! We shared a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to start. My pasta was prepared Parmigiano-Reggiano (cheese wheel) style with fresh tomatoes right in front of you. You also get a generous portion of cheese shavings on top of the pasta. My mouth is salivating just thinking about this delicious concoction. The hubs had the clam squid pasta, which was slightly spicy and oh so good. You can definitely taste the sea in every bite. Both dishes tasted so fresh and I'd highly recommend going! Best to believe that we'll be coming back! read more

Nerino Dieci - Parmigiano-Reggiano style pasta - Mediterranean Near Me - Milan, Michigan

Highly recommend making a reservation especially if you're going on a weekend. We we're lucky to get a table for 5 by booking on the same day. We only tried their pastas but I have to say, it was mouth watering delicious! Favorite one was the spaghetti with cherry tomatoes tossed in a wheel of grana pandano. They do the tossing right in front of you. Second favorite was the tagliatelle with prawns and pistachio. Third was the pesto. Dessert was not bad but not amazing so I'd just go out and get some gelato. We could have had more pasta because it was that yummy, but we decided to stop ourselves and not overeat. read more

Nerino Dieci - Mediterranean Near Me - Milan, Michigan

One of our best dining experiences in Milan was here at Nerino Dieci. We stopped by the night before to find them booked up, so we made reservations for the next night. Upon arriving the next night, we were promptly seated. For starters we had their mussels in their classic, simple sauce. I highly recommend ordering this. The butter used for the sauce is very light and allows the other flavors in the broth to flourish. I dipped every piece of bread into this broth until there was nothing left. For our second course, we shared tagliatelle with prawns and crushed pistachios. Another great selection that I'd recommend! Pasta was cooked perfectly. It had an excellent balance of firmness and tenderness. It was a savory and rich dish, yet it was not heavy. For our main course, I had the beef tartare while my girlfriend had the pistachio crusted tuna steak. The beef tartare was made table side similarly to how Mexican restaurants prepare guacamole table side. The crusting on the fish was outstanding. I'll look to add crushed nuts to my frying batters. It came out deliciously! The service was very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was simply superb. The food was prepared quickly and freshly. We had a seat right next to the kitchen so we had the opportunity to see the chefs in action! read more

Menessled in an alley in Milan is the charming restaurant of Nerino Dieci. The restaurant doesn't open until the evening, so when we arrived there was a line formed outside full of regulars. This is always a good sign. Once inside, the staff were full of some of the most personable people I've ever witnessed. Very welcoming of foreigners and showed us the restaurant. The place is long but small in size. If you have the right seat, you can see directly into the kitchen. I had an order of calamari to start, along with the complimentary bread crumbs that come with the meal. The calamari was good, but the bread crumbs were delicious. Freshly baked and amazing. You def have to make sure you don't fill up on this before your meal! I then had a pasta and mussle dish which was very good. Nice portions and flavorful. All dishes went perfectly with the great wine selection they have here as well. Definitely a great introduction to Milan as this was our first meal. Highly recommend reservations as the restaurant was fully booked when we dined there. The staff will let you know up front if they can sit you at a regular table or a high top. Either is fine honestly. Great spot! read more

This is the type of restaurant you want to look for when you're a traveler and not a tourist. Fantastic food, excellent service, and hospitality of Italy all in one. Pastel was fantastic, state quiz yummy, seafood was incredible! Just be sure to make a reservation. Second visit in two days, the waiter recognized us and slipped us in without a reservation! Wine is still awesome at $10 and anything shrimp is fantastic! Had the tomahawk steak tonight and goodness gracious, simply awesome! The kitchen is always so calm and efficient, Chef #GordonRamsey would be proud! read more

Best place in Milan. I can't wait to be back. It is always packed so try to make your reservation early. A friend suggested this place to me. I like to try different things but I got attached to this place lol. Everything is fresh and delicious. The smell of the food is pure art. They put love into it. read more

4.5 stars. Excellent meal - delicious food, friendly service and affordable price. One of my most memorable meals during a 2 weeks trip to Italy. Our favorites are the fried dumplings with prosciutto and honey, the tuna steak, and the truffle/mushroom ravioli (favorite pasta dish on my trip). Dessert (three tiramisu) was probably the only slight let down - thus the 4.5. Restaurant is a bit hard to find - it's in an alley in a local neighborhood but definitely worth checking out. Would totally visit again next time I'm in Milan. read more

Ever have one of those amazing restaurant experiences where it feels like the entire restaurant is interacting together over wine, and the servers are also taking part? That's what it was like at Nerino Dieci when we dined here for my step father's birthday on a Friday night at 8pm! Seriously, a great atmosphere where your neighbors become your friends (despite not speaking the same languages) and you'll be toasting whatever they are toasting! Ambiance - warm and cozy with a fire place (though it was used for wine storage), which reminds me that the place was stacked with wine all around! Service - really outstanding and they did a great job bringing out a candle for the birthday boy. Wine - very comprehensive wine list sorted by color and then by region (Italian wines only). As noted, wine in Europe is cheap, and this was no exception, bottles started at 14 euros and went up from there, with the majority in the 18 euro area. Our chosen bottle was fantastic! Food - Absolutely amazing! Two dishes really stood out, although I must note, I believe the menu changes here by season! So what did we eat? Well, a lot, even the server was shocked by our order, but I told him we could handle it. **Octopus in pesto sauce - hands down the best octopus of my life! **Assorted burratas - I learned I do not like smoked burrata, but other than that, this place was great! **Scallops Au Gratin - ok, nothing to rave about. **Risotto - warm and creamy! **Pesto pasta - delicious! **Beef Tenderloin - SO SO SO good! **Pistachio covered Tuna - perhaps the best tuna steak of my life! Melt in your mouth good. **Veal cutlets - good, but the radicchio was too bitter and I had to pick it out. **Side of roasted veggies - ok. **Leonardo - very good! Though some of the fruit at the bottom was off putting, perhaps I just wasn't expecting melon lol. **DIY Cannolis - Not a huge fan of cannolis so I stayed away. **Ricotta cake - delicious! Seriously, MAKE A RESERVATION. We came early at 8pm by Italy standards and found the place quite busy. When we walked out at ~10pm the place was insane and a line was congregating out front that reminded me of people waiting at The Cheesecake Factory! read more

This welcoming Italian Trattoria is located a short walk from the Milano Duomo down a welcoming quiet street. We made a reservation by phone (in English) a few hours before they opened and were glad we did because within 30 mins of opening all seats were filled. We were greeted with an incredible smile and seated among both locals and tourists. The menu is very diverse and has English translations. We started with the spicy mussels (yum and yes we soaked the bread in the sauce) and bottles of fizzy water and red house wine (delish!!). We had seafood and veal Milanese as our main courses. Both were super generous in portion and cooked to perfection. We were full and skipped the desserts, but were treated to limoncello by our incredible waiter. The service was impeccable, the dishes and silverware swapped out between courses and our wine and water glasses remained filled. Of note on service, our plates filled with discarded shells from the mussels were removed throughout the appetizer course by our smiling waiter. read more

We never repeat restaurants when on vacation but we did here. The food is really excellent, tasty and thoughtfully prepared but the service is even better. It's friendly without being annoying and very knowledgeable. And definitely try the lemon sorbetto for desert. read more

Great service, Superior food, Delicious wine! I totally enjoyed my experience at Nerino's. The restaurant was fully booked for the evening, but I was able to snag an early meal (single diner) before the main dinner seating. The staff was incredible. Dimitri helped to select a wine and brought me a delicious selection that they typically don't serve (loved it!); my waiter, Alex was attentive and helpful with suggestions (he suggested a simple whole grain pasta with basil and tomato - it was incredible). Maya mixed the pasta (Turanici al pomodorino fresco in forma di Grana) in a parmeseano wheel right at the table (everything was as fresh as could be). I was Italy for over a month and this was the BEST pasta I enjoyed. It was a splendid last meal in Milano. Towards the end of the meal, I met friendly Christoforo who has visited the US and knew a lot about my birthplace in Torrance, CA. It was a fun conversation. Thank you Nerino Team! Highly recommended. read more

Excellent Italian food. Fine cuisine at a very affordable price. We didn't make a reservation but showed up at 7:30 when they opened. They were very accommodating to seat the 3 of us. We just had to give the table back at 9pm. Service was top notch and food was superb. We ordered the Trofie pasta, grand Padano pasta, lamp chops (these were soso), the grilled snapper, and the fennel & grapefruit salad as a side. We saw lots of ppl ordering calamari and the salt covered Seabass. Both looked excellent coming out of the kitchen. We'll definitely return to this restaurant next time we are in town. read more

After reading the good reviews, we decided to give this place a try. The staff are wonderful, the food mediocre. I started with fried sardines with sage leaves. The sardines were cut open, breaded and fried until they were hard and dry. There were no sage leaves to be found and no lemon or sauce to make them more appetizing. Then I had the sea bream with sea asparagus. Maybe the sea asparagus was in the pale green sauce? I added a side of vegetable caponata. I've made caponata and this was not it. Caponata should have the vegetables cooked down in the tomato sauce until it's almost like jam. This had lots of carrots that weren't very tender. We were too full to order dessert so we left. The food is not carefully prepared or maybe they need new recipes that add more flavor and oomph. Very plain and bland, not the special treat we were hoping for. read more

The food was delicious specially the tiramisu and the prize is perfect actually you will be surprise when you get the check and it's less than what you expected. I had a glass of wine, we shared the octopus as an appetizer then I got my own pasta with a a type of shrimp that I don't remember the exact name, pistachio and lime very tasteful and then the best for last we shared the dessert which it was the tiramisu, it was three different kind of tiramisu the traditional one,with coco and the other one with chocolate yummy. read more

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN MILAN! Seriously everyone: this place is the best, everything here is amazing and it is all reasonably priced. You can get a pot of cozze (mussels) for 7 Euros! All of the cozze dishes are delicious, every flavor is like a burst of savory goodness! Don't forget to dip your bread in the soup too ;) So here are some of the favorites from the menu: - Cozze Alla 'Nduja - Tagliolini Neri con Vongole e 'Nduja - Gnocco Fritto con Coppa Piacentina - Filetto di Maiale con Trevisana e Mele Caramellate the BEST are the desserts, again everything is amazing but my favorites: - Crema Malivian - Tartatin con Gelato alla Crema - Panna Cotta The staff is friendly and the owner is the nicest guy ever! American friendly, they speak English and have English menus :) They have a great wine list too! If you dunno your wines, as your server to suggest a bottle of white to go with your cozze. I'm a regular here and cannot wait to go back again! ENJOY! read more

Terrific. Would go back in a heartbeat. Ambience: Located in a very quiet back-street it's small but well appointed with seats up front to watch the chefs or down the back where it's quieter. Will be busy or sold out pretty much all the time so book ahead. Service: Very friendly and attentive (but also run ragged, so plan for a little longer) Food: Terrific. I had the lobster pasta and it was divine. I'm uploading a photo but it doesn't do it justice as there is about half a lobster buried under all this. It also came with very nice fresh crunchy bread. Good wine selection too. Price: Worth every penny but really much cheaper than a comparable meal in the States. If I'm ever back in Milan this will be one of my first stops. read more

The most delicious pesto! The freshest salmon and tuna tartare! We had the black pasta with clams and Florentine steak with mussels starter. All very good! One of the best meals we had in Italy. Excellent service and great prices. Located in an older part of town, very charming and lovely. read more

This restaurant is fantastic! The ingredients are so fresh and high quality, and the food expertly prepared. I had the gnocchi, and every bite was a creamy pillow of deliciousness. My boyfriend had the petit filet, medium rare, and it was the perfect texture and taste. Here, you order wine by the bottle, not glass. We ordered Chianti and it was great. For desert we had creme brûlée- sweet, creamy, and caramelized just right. They are very liberal with the liqueurs here, and left a pistachio and chocolate flavor on our table-very decadent! I highly recommend making reservations--it's a popular spot! You won't find many tourists here, and it's definitely a gem for Milano culinary. read more

I came here for lunch and Nerino Dieci delivered. The mussels were 7 euros are a great bargain. Cooked well and full of delicious white wine broth. Huge portion. The 9 euro set menu had a boring pasta dish, but, it came with a fantastic ricotta tart, glass of wine and a cafe. Great deal. Great overall lunch. Need to return for dinner. read more

I have dined here 6 times over the years... basically everytime when I came to Milan. This place had never disappointed me. I particularly like their seafood section. Tgis time we had scampi appetizer, mussel in ginger and orange sauce (highly recommend this sauce), camarrata with sardine, ink liguinne with clams, seared sea bream. Good wine and caffe. The price is very reasonable here too. read more

The menu of this restaurant is about 100 pages long. That's something that should make your radars turn on. I had a lot of rightful prejudices against this place, but had to give in to a business dinner with American fellow colleagues who pushed for it cauze it's no. 3 or 4 on TripAdvisor's list. I almost killed the admin who gave in & booked us here, but she's not from Milan so how could she know? Such a touristy place downtown Milano, it reminded me of the awful touristy menus that many Fishermen's pier restaurants in SF serve. Frozen fish prepared with no love. Bulks of over cooked pasta stuck in big lumps, yucky sauce ...prices are not that high, portions are huge. Thank goodness for the great company, the laughters, the drinks. Tourists and travelers have been warned. read more

Our last meal after 16 days traveling around Italy and was one of the best and most memorable. We started with prosciutto topped on top of this pillowy soft fried gnocchi. These are amazing. We then shared between the 3 of us the lobster pasta. Such a big portion and good price! My friend and I had the salt baked cod which was filleted in front of us. My husband had steak with mushroom sauce. Everything was delicious. We were so full but our friend (who is living in Milan and knows her food) said we had to get tiramisu. We shared it and it was delicious. A coconut one, a regular one and another I forgot. And then the creamy limoncello and chocolate liquor at the end were very nice. I want to eat here right now! read more

Spent two weeks in Italy and this was my family's absolute favorite restaurant! Make sure to make a reservation, or else arrive before 7:30 pm (when they open) to try to grab a spot at the sharing table. They will try their best to fit you in Dinner starts with a free glass of prosecco each and bread. We started with a bowl of mussels that were so tender my mom declared them the best she'd had in her life. For our entrees, I went with the risotto. Dad with the beef tenderloin. Mom with the Milanese veal cutlet. All were superb! The price is right here too, with none of the dishes going over 15 euro. We also ordered a bottle of house red for 10 euro. The next time I or anyone I know is in Milan, this will be the go to place. read more

What a wonderful restaurant!!! My wife and I went here with her parents our last night in Milan as a special treat and they far surpassed our expectations!!!

This was our last meal after a 2.5 week trip through Italy and it was a good one, both in food quality and service. We ordered: 1. Mussels - there were about 10 different options and we went with a spicy sausage one - something different than what we might find in the US 2. pastas - trofie with fresh pesto and mezzi paccheri with tub gurnard (???) I dont know what the second one even was but it was very good with fresh vegetables and a tomato based sauce. Nice contrast to the pesto 3. Milanese cutlet - underwhelming, basically just a breaded pork chop, but had to get something traditionally Milanese 4. I wanted multiple desserts but narrowed to two - the DIY cannoli which was fun, and the 3 tiramisu which was unique - not just the traditional one but also coconut and chocolate flavors. I wish I had room for the pistachio mousse cake but alas, I did not want to get sick on my last night in Italy. We saw many parties who did not have reservations get turned away. If you want to eat here, make sure you make one! read more
