In town from the USA looking for solid Italian food near City Center Milan. Picked this due to the…read moreover 4 stars albeit several of the reviews were over 7 years ago. 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!

Still solid 3.5 years later with fantastic Neapolitan pies and fritti. Be sure to try the Bufalina…read moreDaZero with fresh pomodoro tomatoes, basilico, and bufala - that's it and it is simply delicious, pun intended. Start with a Ricca salad which comes with tuna and fresh bufala mozzarella balls and the fritti trio. The crocche cilentano is a must-try - flavorful and crispy- but any of the fritti are great here. Service is no frills but extremely fast which we definitely appreciated. I would recommend making reservations as they start filling up literally 10 min after they open at 7:30 pm for dinner. If you are craving Neopolitan pizza and located by the Duomo, definitely make a trip here! We came back after 3.5 years for our last dinner this trip to Milan.

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - the grand glass-roofed mall--it's one of Milan's most…read morephotographed areas (other than the Duomo which is directly in front of it) and is very distinctive. Designed by architect Giuseppe Mengoni and opened in 1867, it contains a central octagonal space and dom made of glass - one of the most distinctive in the world! Inside, you will find clothing stores (most designer) and a few places to eat. It gets very busy with people shopping, taking allot of photographs, and congratulating around a few points of interest such as the famous bulk mosaic--there is a little dance you can do to bring you good luck! If you're interested, you can search for damage on the Galleria in WWII and they have rebuilt/restored it very well! Just outside the Galleria, you can also see the Opera House, more shopping, and even a monument or two in remembrance to the WWII resistance!

Very solid option in the Galleria with classic comfort options including pizza, ossobucco, and…read morecostelleta in an unmatched location and extremely reasonable prices for the location. 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.

I would give them four stars but unusual to Italian tradition, they rushed us out and I noticed they did not do this to others. Our money and patronage is just as good. Also, we were served all courses all at once. And it was not crowded and it was not close to closing time. The server also snuffed at us when we first sat down at a table for four - the place was not crowded by the way. So he forced us to sit at a table for two which is fine had he served our courses in traditional order and fashion. But he did not. He basically shoved four plates on our table - bread, salad, pasta course one, another dish course two oh and our wine bowls. All on a tiny table for two. And he was unapologetic about it. That was absolutely ridiculous. Again the only reason I do not give this less stars is because the food was worth it but it's no excuse to be rude and treat customers in this way.

I'm usually not a fan of touristy places to eat but this place is amazing!! Grab and go. I was there on a weekday and somewhat early so there was a short wait - maybe 3 minutes. Expect a line if you come during peak times. I tried: tomato and mozzarella), Prosciutto e Mozzarella, Salame Piccante e Mozzarella. ALL were really good. If I had to pick one I would pick salame piccante e mozzarella. The bread is also just perfect and it can get crowded so everything is fresh!!

Yes, it is a little bit "touristy", but lots of fun. They have savory (such as prosciutto and cheese) and sweet (chocolate). I have been several times and it is not unusual for the line to be down the block. If so, divide and conquer: One person find a place to sit (steps in front of the cathedral?) while the other goes to order and bring back the goodies.
