    We had a wonderful experience at Papa Francesco. The Lasagna was to die for. The location and the service is great. Highly recommend.

    Lasagna!

    Delicious - stumbled upon their daily specials! Finally found traditional pasta in Milan (most restaurants have the same menu of wood fired pizza and limited pasta choices) - this place had homemade pasta and the owner interacts with his customers!

    Ravioli 1-3-7 with a hugo spirtz

    Just magnificent, the ravioli was delicious and excellent customer service!!! Music was nice as well

    Free bread! The goose breast ravioli was absolutely the best authentic Italian food I've had in Italy! The service was quick and the owner was amazing. If you want authentic food at a reasonable price, this is the place!!

    The food was so good! We had carbonara and a lobster pasta. We also got steak as our main course. We paired it with some Chianti and it was phenomenal! Papa Francesco even came out to the patio area and sang to the song that was playing creating wholesome vibes all around. The service was fantastic! In Italy, they truly cherish meal times and do not rush you at all. It is truly an experience.

    Decided to get dinner here after walking around shopping. The food was good and they picked the wine for us. We sat outside which was a bit cold. I think this is more of a tourist place but still good food.

    We didn't have a great food experience in Milan until we tried this place. When we were here, people were dressed a bit more formal but that might just be Milan in general. We were seated quite quickly, but weren't attended until 15-20 minutes after. Coming from America, it feels like a while. We ordered the goose ravioli, macaroni made in a parm wheel, and seafood spaghetti. The goose ravioli was great, and would definitely eat it over and over again! It was a good portion to keep you full through the day of a lot of walking.

    Lasagna, Red Wine, Gnocchi, Ambiance.

    Food was delicious for a taste of Italian pasta! Service was great and some pasta was even prepared at the table in a melted cheese wheel! Ambiance would be upscale family dining.

    Excellent restaurant. Delicious food and perfect service. Real Italian vibes. This restaurant has been around for generations bringing true Italian food experience. I eat here every time Im in Milan. If you happen to be in the Duomo area, that's the place to go. Best pizza diavola.

    I got the papa's pasta and it was so good.

    Food was wonderful ambience was nice and staff was very attentive, highly recommended! Only downside was construction happening next door and the drilling was very loud and constant.

    Food - I don't think it could have been better. Excellent temperature and preparation. Fresh and…read moredelicious. The shrimp ceviche was perfectly acidic and chilled to perfection. The sea bass was light and flaky. Not overly seasoned or sauced. Service - Really amazing. I watched the staff interact and it was flawless. The manger was running a tight ship. Ambiance - Very chill and not a bit pretentious. It was a relaxed and perfect place for lunch after walking for 2-3 hours. I will return on my next trip to Milan.

    Fushbar de Milan - walked 15 minutes from Duomo. I had it marked on my Yelp page to visit and here…read morewe are. Not too many seafood restaurants and this place fit the bill. Thanks Yelpies for the nice photos. We opted to sit at the patio by the street. They made it little better by putting a facade between the street and the sidewalk. No smokers but that didn't last long. In Italy, outside seating means someone will be smoking next to you. Guaranteed. When we got here, thr waiter started shaking his head when I said no reservation. After conferring with another waiter, we got seated and things started rolling. Bread was brought out and asked for bottled water. To my surprise, cuperto was free and Pellagrino was only €3.50 Chilled vino bianco was delicious with the two items we shared. I got the grilled octopus served on top of the mashed potatoes. (POLPO CROCCANTE Purè, pomodorini semi dry, paté di olive nere) It was a large serving and grilled to perfection. The fish soup (ZUPPA DI PESCE Pomodoro, calamari, polipetti, seppie, gamberi, cozze, vongole, crostini di pane) had flavor that I wasn't use to. Salty, thick soup base? Definitely better to dip with scarpetta. Wasn't happy that one clam and one mussels didn't open up. Our waiter were on top of everything till we were ready to go. Guy next to us rolled a cigarette and started smoking and I was ready to roll out of there. Took while to get the bill after repeatedly asking for it. Overall, we only scratched the surface and love to come back and spend exploring other items like raw fish platers. Inside!
