I stopped at this place based upon friends who live in Milan, which I feel gives some credence to…read moreit being near the Duomo.
Mostly good stuff to say, so let's get the negatives out of the way. Okay, so I know coperto is normal, but I still don't like it. Also, I felt like the servers really hovered near patrons, which was kind of annoying. They also don't list glasses of wine on the menu, but you can get them (at a cost TBD?). Also, I did not love the comment between servers that what I ordered is what "the Americans always get." That may be, but it felt like an insult. Not cool, bro. I can take my happy tourist euros elsewhere with a kinder attitude.
Now the good. I loved the outdoor patio. Again, not unique to this place but I enjoyed that it was a little hidden from the hustle and bustle of the Piazza del Duomo. They seemed to have heating lamps or something, as I wasn't chilled on this otherwise cool night. I thought the Prosecco on the house served when first seated was a lovely touch (and decent Prosecco at that). I ordered the tagliatelle Alfredo, which may have been the best Alfredo I've ever had. Yes, I'm American. (I promise I've had other dishes while in Italy this time around! At least I didn't order a burger and spaghetti like my lunchtime table neighbors!). The servers were certainly attentive.
Soooo all in all, I give them a good review based on their food alone. The snide comments could be left at the door (or in the piazza, if you will).
