Recommended to us by the front desk at our hotel, Best Western Madison. The restaurant was a five minute walk and one of the many great meals of our trip. We started with an appetizer of lobster and fresh vegetables in a salad. I had pappardelli with fresh portobello mushrooms. We also had grilled octopus with vegetables. Our waiter was friendly and entertaining. read more

Great food and excellent services. I had been in Milan for three days and leave tomorrow. I had lunch here on the first day. It was so good that I had to come back tonight. It exceeded my expectation. read more

Yaroslav was amazing. He served us twice. Joe ordered the lasagna bolognese the first time which he is still talking about. I had the pork Milanese which was very good. The second time we had Yaroslav order for us and that dinner was amazing. Definitely stop by; try the Russian Vodka and if stuck on what to order definitely ask for recommendations. Cozy and friendly. read more

We had the best and most memorable dinner with yaroslav as our waiter. He was funny, attentive but not overly. He spoke a bit of English, French, Spanish, Greek and probably more languages. Food was phenomenal. Highly recommend!! Steak tartare w/buratta delicious as was Osso bucco and pizza! Get a limoncello to end your evening read more

Unusually prepared dishes. Fabulous service. We love the window table. As tourists, we enjoy people watching and this table afforded us the opportunity to gaze at passerby's while enjoying delicious dishes. The service was timely but what impressed us most was the tableside preparation of the Steak Fiorentina was an absolute treat. Then to top off the meal they brought us a delicious after dinner drink. This place was excellent. read more

Being in a new town can be a little intimidating...especially a foreign one. We were staying at the Hilton and it's in the business district so it's not close to the tourist area, which is a blessing. The area has some really good restaurants Pane e Tulipani being one of them. We had several options, but we liked the menu of this one. We walked in but the whole crew was eating dinner and even though they said to sit down, we said we'd come back at 7 when they opened. We were the first ones in. Nice atmosphere, though our waiter was a little reserved at first, he opened up as the evening progressed. We ordered a Chianti (what else) since it was going to be our first Italian meal in Italy. They brought out bread and some flat bread drizzled with delicious olive oil. We started with a salumi board which came with chopped arrugula, shaved parmesea, and corn...very good! The partner ordered the lasagne bolognese and I ordered the penne al pesto. The sauce on the lasagne was really good. My was okay. It had a pesto cream sauce which is something I can get in the U.S. We ordered a second bottle of wine, and when we were done with our meal, another waiter brought us some peanuts, "To help finish your wine." Well, we needed some dessert to do that. I ordered the lemon torte and the partner ordered these dark chocolate eclair like pastries which were really good! Mine was okay...not as tart as I thought it was going to be. He then brought us out some lemoncello which was nice. Even though my meal wasn't so impressive, we did come back the night before we left. We sat out on the patio this time. We shared the lasagne bolognese as a starter, and they kitchen split it in half. I ordered the sirloin steak and rosemary potatoes. The partner ordered the veal and steamed vegetables. Both winners! We skipped dessert because we found this great gelatoteria. Again, our funny waiter brought us out to large shots of lemoncello, "Because the time was so long." The patio was packed and he was the only one working. This was a great place to eat! Molto buona!!! read more

Most important first, food was good, lots of different dishes from Paste to seafood to meat. Pictured menu. ... but nothing extraordinary. The ambient is not really stylish. Many Chinese guests, life music on a Saturday night, big television screen playing cartoons. In general very loud, not easy to have a talk. Service seams to be a bit stressed. It is ok for a dinner, but don't expect any big things. read more

The food here was disappointing. We came here because of their good reviews. Their lasagne is not 6 layers as indicated on their menu and was really oily. Their carbonara tasted like a cheddar cheese pasta with no egg flavor like a carbonara should be. As indicated by other recent reviewers in Tripadvisor, there could be a recent change of chef. read more

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. My colleague and I came here after the doorman at the NYX hotel recommended it - it was just down the street so very convenient. It was a beautiful night so we sat outside but that was a mistake - between the smell of cigarette smoke and stale urine, it wasn't a pleasant experience. The service was friendly but a little odd - when we ordered, we pointed to the items on the menu. My colleague was brought out the wrong dish but they quickly realized it and brought her correct dish out; I was served the wrong dish (ordered pumpkin risotto with bacon but served Milanese risotto with shrimp) when I tried to communicate that they ignored me. I finally gave up and ate it - it was tasty but I don't particular like shrimp - thank goodness I don't have a shellfish allergy! They brought out complimentary limoncello at the end of the meal, which was very tasty. Food was good enough but it just wasn't a very satisfying experience overall. read more

We were recommended by the hotel staff and we decided to try. We loved and Leonardo made our whole experience outstanding. Appetizers were very good, the food extraordinary and the desert tasty and fresh. Good selection of wines and limoncello after all... Highly recommend and if possible, ask for Leonardo. He is the best!!! read more

Pane e Tulipani - Barbeque Near Me - Milan, Michigan

What a treasure in Milano! Great seafood, amazing steak, delicious gnocchi, limoncello and they wouldn't let us leave without a sip of Guapo. The service was impeccable and the entire staff was friendly. Very impressive and I would give them 7 stars if I could! read more

Best possible first impression! The service was very friendly and accommodating. I stopped by for a late dinner and I was completely impressed with the caliber of service and the quality of the food. The beef carpaccio was excellent and the scallopine with lemon was cooked to perfection. Nice touches and an attentive staff made the meal a memorable experience. read more

We came out of a business preparation meeting, wishing nothing but a nice pizza before heading back to the hotel... And then we found Pane e Tulipani. Still open, warm welcome, nice deco: it smelt like success ! And it was. One of our waiters was probably an actor escaped from Cinecittà, very theatrical, but great food adviser, and amazing language skills (apparently gotten from dating a NY girl). We had one of the best red wines I've ever had (a Nero d'Avola), as well as a perfectly cured ham (culatella), blending nicely with the Mozzarella di buffala. The pizza capricciosa was squisita, with a hint of spice, while the tagliatelle ai porcini was tasty and not too rich. The tagliatta di manzo perhaps lacked a little flavour, perhaps some marinade, or less cooking time would have done. But it was overall an excellent night out. Mamma mia, what a dinner !!! read more
