I went to meet some friends here for an apperitivo on a rainy day and the pretentiousness was so…read morenasty I couldn't stomach walking in the door! I wish I could give zero stars. I should mention that we were all well dressed, jackets, dresses etc. everyone looked great... When we arrived the doorman stopped us at the hostess's stand to insist I place my $500 or so handmade Italian umbrella in the front door's overflowing and chaotic umbrella bucket. I calmly showed him my plastic umbrella bag I bring with me for this exact situation, told him "it's not a problem," put my umbrella inside the bag and started walking in. He stopped my fiancée and I and said either the umbrella goes in the front door's bucket or I go outside. Of course, everyone knows umbrellas in an establishment's umbrella bin are considered public property by Italians. My fiancée calmly explained to him it was too expensive for the bin and he said "I don't care!" Then comes the most pretentious part- he said it needed to be left in the bin for "security purposes" Imagine! To stop all umbrellas! I was able to bring my umbrella into an event with president Obama but not Roialto! We looked around and saw no one but normal younger Italians all overdressed to appease their obviously snobby hosts. No VIPs important enough for their own security detail anyway. At that point and not so calmly, I told him where he could put all of his umbrellas and I left. Our friends were already seated and I told my fiancée outside I would get a drink elsewhere while they were there. Once we did everyone complained about the snobby eye-rolling service they got from staff there, even the Filipini buffet servers. Yelp! I recommend not troubling these people since they are obviously the only ones 'cool enough' to be around themselves. It will save your evening as well.

Drinks pricey but the fact you get free food makes up for it. Will defo be coming back to Milan and…read morebringing friends here. Great service and no service charge added which is a bonus. Cocktails were great
