    Our hotel concierge suggested this restaurant which is located in a small alley across from near the San Bablio square and subway station. We got there for lunch at around 2 and both upstairs and downstairs were nearly packed. It has a clean, welcoming ambience. The interior walls are lined with large black & white portraits of Hollywood stars, including of course Sophia Loren, from a bygone era. The waiter spoke fluent English and service was good. The freshly made pasta came out piping hot and was quite tasty and well made. My companion ordered the ragu ( essentially bolognese and I an off menu basic AOP (charged as a primi €12). I A delicious lunch. There is a cover Coperto charge of €3,5 per person for bread service.

    Ristorante decisamente nascosto tra viuzze di zona San Babila: raffinato (ma non troppo) frequentato da clientela decisamente anziana (la sera che sono andato era pieno al 80% da vecchietti... forse ho beccato la ripatriata tra nonni?) anche se ogni tanto si trovano comunque famiglie o coppiette milanesi. In parole povere, costosetto ma piatti buoni e servizio eccellente (i camerieri sono simpatici)... nonostante tutto pero' non vedo molti buoni motivi per tornarci! :P

    We spent 9 days in Italy- 3 in Milan, 2 in Tuscany and 4 in Florence....had lots of good meals, but this was by far, the best. Food was perfection- fresh, flavorful and well-served. Delightful environment and superb service. Can't wait to return!

    Being a chef myself I wanted to taste true Milan and after a lot of research I requested a table at Papermoon, cut to the chase , the tables are directly next to each other so a romantic table for 2 can easily feel like a table for 4 or 6 , both starters and main courses were highly seasoned with salt which over powered the flavours of the food , there is NO customer service what so ever and when we left roughly at €15 tip on out €85 bill the waiter looked furious as he literally mumbled under is breathe as he threw out coats at us !! Not as good as you think !!

    Cotoletta di Manzo "Paper Moon". Awesome!

    The ambiance is excellent. The food is sold- fish very strong, risotto very strong- desert could pass.

    Tiny dishes, unfriendly staff, 3.5€ 'coperto' charge PER PERSON and average taste. Avoid this place.

    Well at first I was hesitant because I was told they only had three pizzas and that's all that…read moreshows on the menu. Also, there was a bit of a weight when we got there, but it actually grew to almost a dozen people. They see people quickly so the turnover is pretty fast and you don't wait long. Since I was concerned about limited menu, those fears were allayed when the Waiter takes your order - he lets you know about the four or five other ones that are not on the menu that are all sounding great So we picked 'chef special' (they pick for you) and a white pizza. The service was pretty quick, and the pizza comes out right away Obviously with such high turnover, they have figured out the formula for delicious pizza. They nailed the crust as well as all the ingredients. Really delicious. The toilet facilities definitely need a lot of help. That was my only real comment about the atmosphere. It's very basic, you sit at basic tables. They seemed to all be helpful

    Fantastic food and great vibes! Simple menu (just 3 pizzas to choose from), but super effective…read morebecause every pizza is packed with flavour. The chef's surprise was a salami and burrata pizza, and it was top notch. We also had the Delicata Bianca, which was beautifully balanced. They even went above and beyond to do a half and half pizza for each of us! (See pics) Some of the Italian craft beers surprised us, and we also got a few liqueur shots on the house! Nikola/Nichola was absolutely fantastic: super attentive, friendly, and radiated joy. I also found out he was a fellow Sri Lankan, and we had a good laugh about it. The folks sitting next to us were also super friendly, so we had a great time all around. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Milan :)

Seated very quickly, nice clean restaurant and nice waiters although language barrier made ordering a bit clunky. My wife got the ravioli while my friend and I got the bolognese lasagna. My wife said the ravioli was good not great and our lasagna was very tasty but room temperature. I like my food hot. The other person at our table got salmon and it was way overcooked and very tough. Not sure why our other party got Salmon at an Italian restaurant in Italy but to each his own. If you want a glass of wine you only have two choices, white wine and red wine. No other available. This is probably because the restaurant doesn't carry large inventories of wine due to their small size and cost. Overall no way is this above an average restaurant. It's just okay. Heat up your lasagna better, teach your chef how to cook Salmon and expand your glasses of wine selections.

You could easily pay twice as much for something not as good as that at Bellavista Cafe. Great spot if you want to experience some quality local food and not break the bank. At lunch the place was filled with locals so the food must be good and the prices fair. Well worth the trip!

I would recommend making a reservation during prime hours and sitting outside if they have space there. The pizzas are the thin crust Roman style and very solid - the classic Margherita is the one to get as the execution is fantastic. You get the flavor of a NYC slice made with better ingredients and with a great thin crust. This reminds me of Marta in NYC which closed during COVID. The classic entrees are made in the comfort food style - solid flavors, generous portions, and good ingredients. Be sure to try the costelleta or ossobucco. The cutlet is perfectly tender with a crispy crust served with fantastic roasted potatoes. The ossobucco itself is just okay but the risotto is very satisfying especially with the bone marrow. If you are by the Duomo or Galleria and want comfort food this is a great option.

Prices were fair, and the staff was very attentive. We were able to get some good Italian music and food here. The four cheese pizza is the da bomb. They even give you some free stuff for dessert and a little mini appetizer. However, there is a four Euro tax per PERSON, that might knock the wind out of you. Still, enjoyed the place.
