This was such a wonderful dinner for our family traveling from the US in July. The service, food and pricing were all fantastic. It feels like fine dining without the price tag. Highly recommend!
Ambiance: it's located in the center of city, close to the train station and bus stop, the dining vibe is cozy, however, everything else is terrible Service: the worst service ever experienced in Milan, I rarely give one star review, and when I do I seriously mean it. The server brought the wrong drink, and didn't serve our table bread until our food was served and we had to ask for it, while other tables were served before their meals without being asked, let alone lack of knowledge to their menu and specialities, they made loud noise of cleaning utensils and tables, rude and not welcoming at all Food & Drink: they ran out certain food we wanted, and for the food they recommended weren't as good Bread - ** so dry and almost not edible Grilled Fish and Seafod Mix - * Ingredienti Gamberone, Scampone, Calamaro, Gamberetti, Capesanta, Spada, their chef did a terrible job, all seafood were so overcooked, only the calamari was editable, scallops were so dry and rubbery, two pieces of shrimp were dry just imagine the texture of reheated leftover, fishes were burnt and tasted very bitter, the dish is basically not edible, and any proud chef would feel shamed about how awful it was Grilled fillet of Piemontese Fassona - ** undercooked steak, asked medium well but served near rare Craft Beer - *** Blonde, just fine Price: their prices weren't crazy but totally not worth it for the poor food quality, expect €30+ per person, this place shouldn't even be called a seafood restaurant, I strongly suggest you avoid dining at this place at all costs
I love the lobster linguine! The sauce is very rich that I finished with a bread! I tried pistachio chess, it's a bit too sweet for asian, I prefer saulty chess, but when the waitress show them in a small tray, so adorable to refuse. We also have fired mixed seafood, fresh and delicious, best with vinegar.
The BEST meal we had in Milan!!!!!! Hands down! Settembrini 18 should definitely be on your bucket list if you are in Milan! It was the best Italian food we've had! In fact, the best Italian food I've ever had in my life. It was excellent! And service was superb as well. I ordered the ravioli in walnut sauce. That was by far the best ravioli I have ever tasted. The ravioli was perfectly cooked, so it was soft, but not too soft. The cheese filling was great. And the walnut sauce was amazing. I've never had walnut sauce until now. And I'm a big fan! 10/10 The margarita pizza had so much flavor! The cheese to sauce ratio was perfection. And the dough was so fresh! 10/10 Caprese salad was good. The mozzarella was extremely fresh! Wow! And the tomatoes perfectly ripe. Delicious together! 10/10 My husband ordered the carbonara pasta and he said it was far superior over all other carbonara dishes! 10/10 The only thing we didn't care for was the cheesecake. It wasn't firm like we are used to in the states. That had good flavor with the chocolate and nuts, but not our favorite. This is a sit down restaurant. Not super fancy, but also not super casual. Our server was great. Everyone was friendly.
Mink found this place on Yelp and asked if we could give them a try. The photos looked good and the reviews of the place were also great so I was down to try them for our first meal in Milan. We were hungry and they didn't open till 7pm but we headed there a little early just in case they were fully booked for the night. It was around 6:45pm when we arrived and the staff allowed us to be seated. They did say no service till 7pm which was fine since it was lightly drizzling outside. It gave us time to look at their menu and enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant. It was nicely decorated with a full bar in front. Lots of tables to accommodate all different size parties and enjoyable local music playing in the background. Mink decided on the Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare (Spaghetti with Seafood) and I ordered their Risotto alla Milanese con Ossobuco (Milanese style Risotto with Ossobuco). Normally people get appetizers but we were exhausted from a day of travel getting into Milan so we just wanted to eat then head back to the hotel for some rest. Since Mink doesn't drink and I didn't want to upset her, I just ordered a glass of red wine instead of a bottle. I drank it rather fast while waiting for our food from the kitchen so I ordered a second to enjoy with the meal. The food was amazing! They were generous with the seafood in Mink's spaghetti. She loved the sauce. Wish we had bread to soak it all up! Mink shared some with a bunch of seafood for me and she still had a mountain of seafood left over. My ossobuco was delicious and the risotto was better than I expected. We did agree the risotto was rich and not something we could eat often but it was really good. Customer service was amazing and they even tried to call us a Taxi/Cab when we were having Uber issues. They couldn't get through but we appreciated the effort. We were even offered free coffee before we left but we declined. Amazing start to Italy and great pick by Mink.
Truly a neighborhood joint - while completely friendly to tourists - our visit was full of families enjoying a weeknight dinner, chatting about school, work, and politics, surrounded by delicious dishes. We loved everything we tried and appreciated the accommodating and friendly service, and while we left way too full, there were no regrets. If you're traveling, and staying in a nearby hotel, make a point of stopping by. It will make you feel like you're home. So good!
After not being able to come here due the rain and lack of taxi available we were coincidentally close by the following day and finally were able to check it out. I had the pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. Thin but very tasty. My GF had the shrimp pasta and she loved it as well. Mimmo was our server and was very nice. Definitely recommend this spot.
Amazing lobster pasta and the fried seafood mix were both excellent! If you're a seafood lover, this spot is a must-try. The lobster pasta (€25) was rich and flavorful, and the fried seafood mix (€24) was perfectly crisp and generous in portion. My husband and I split both dishes and left feeling very full--great value for the price and QUALITY. We only wish we had room for dessert! Definitely recommend this place. Service was good as well. They had low music going in the background. Very clean restaurant. All together very good!
Great service blocks from Milan central train station. Food was excellent. Highly recommend. Lowered to 4 stars because the Tagliatelle with mushrooms didn't quite meet expectations. However the seafood spaghetti was amazing and full of seafood. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were large. It was a bit loud but we had no problem making conversation. Wait staff speaks English. There were Many plates we wanted to try. They have a good selection of wines and desserts.
Again 5 star meal. The service was amazing and the food was even more amazing! Anastasia was my server who was the greatest! The ambiance was also perfect! One observation i got there at 7:30 by the time I was finished the restaurant was very busy
A pleasant experience as a solo diner. After reading reviews, I came on a Monday night at 8:30pm in April and found the restaurant around 30% full. The interior is set up like a formal dining room, yellow walls with white moldings, seating enough for around 60 people at tables of various sizes. The staff was friendly and welcoming and directed me to a seat at a small table set for two, and presented me with a menu right away. Hard to decide what to get when your eyes are larger than your stomach but you're by yourself so realistically there's only so much you can consume. After some deliberation I ordered the Sicilian red pawn spaghetti €18. The order took about 10 minutes to get ready. Pasta itself was cooked perfectly, the shrimp came in pieces mixed with plum tomatoes in with the pasta plus two complete shrimp on the side. Though the dish was executed well, and the olive oil used was delicious, it didn't stand out as something that I'd be clamoring to order again soon. The server (didn't catch his name) was very friendly and all smiles, he offered to take a picture for me which was a kind gesture. Why minus one star? Not that I needed it, but I wasn't offered bread and noticed some parties were served limoncello at the end of their meal which I wasn't offered either. My order wasn't a lot of food so maybe I didn't meet a min spending for the aperitif. I appreciated that their menu has very clear allergen information denoted. They take cash and card. Prices are very reasonable for the area. There are bathrooms available though I can't comment on their state since I didn't use them. Overall I feel like there were a lot of potentially tasty options which I wish I had a chance to try. Surely open to coming by with more people if I'm in Milan again.
Where do I start? Actually l, I know exactly where, Mimmo was an amazing server! He couldn't have made our experience any better. This place has charm and a home feel. You truly get the Italian experience. For the love of everything, order the ravioli with almond sauce. You will not regret it. Bon Apetit.

This is our second full day in Milan. We were looking for something out of the commercial area. This place was exactly what we were looking for. Great service with just enough English to make it easy. And the food was amazing! After dinner the treats really begin. But, you will have to come see for yourself! read more

Absolutely incredible and amazing meal! If you're staying in a hotel near the Central Station, I highly recommend trying this place. I started with the artichoke risotto (best risotto I've ever had) and then had the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and flavorful. They brought out complimentary limoncello and biscotti at the end. The service was wonderful. The wait staff were kind, attentive, and welcoming. Also a very elegant setting. I went to a restaurant down the street from the hotel my first night and there was just no comparison. For the same prices, I had one of the most amazing Italian meals of my life. Highly highly recommend. read more

The pasta, seafood, and deserts were wonderful. I found this restaurant through yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. It is not very "touristy" and it's a small walk from the hotel center of Milan, but the food is traditional and reasonably priced. The service is top-notch as well! Thanks for the solid service and great food. read more

Our first dinner in Italy we came here and was not disappointed! My dad and I both got pasta one meat one seafood and for our second course I had the veal and he got risotto. Amazing!! Our waiter was so nice and entertaining I never felt embarrassed trying to speak Italian or just speaking in English. It was super busy so make a reservation but I got a reservation 3 hours before so it's a good last minute option! The inside is cute and clean. It never was too loud and it was very well air conditioned. I think a good price for everything too! They seem slightly under staffed but it never made us wait too long and food came out so fast! Totally recommend read more

Great food! The food was incredible and there was a vegan risotto option. All of the food was delicious and fresh. The service was great and the waiters were so kind and friendly, especially Mary. She was very helpful with accommodating vegan options. They were pretty fast with bring out food and bread and were very cooperative with all our accomodations. The ambiance was nice and there was a good amount of people where it was noisy, but not too hard to have a conversation. Overall, a great place for dinner!! read more

We really wanted to find a restaurant with really good Italian food for our last dinner. We scoured the internet for the best place and we're happy to say, we found it. Everything so delicious and not to mention decently priced, especially for Milan. You won't regret coming here! read more
This was one of the best meals I had in Italy--absolutely delicious! It reminded me of the Schnitzel I tried in Austria and was exactly what I was craving in Milan. While it was a bit pricey, the portion size made it worth it. The potatoes were perfectly seasoned. I would definitely return to Milan just for this meal! read more

This restaurant is excellent. The ambiance, service and most importantly the food was stellar. We came to Settembrini 18 to celebrate a special occasion and we wanted seafood. The freshness and quality of the seafood did not disappoint. I highly recommend the seafood salad and octopus as appetizers. As an entree, I chose the seafood pasta and it tasted delicious. It had a tomato based sauce with a mix of fresh seafood. It was so good I wish I could come back but my trip to Milan was a short stay. You can finish off dinner with a homemade tiramisu or ice cream! read more

It's my first review because this restaurant was perfect for both taste and service I don't usually enjoy seafood very much, but this place has broken all my prejudices The octopus dish, which was the first dish, was cooked very well and the combination of potatoes and white vigner was beautiful The seafood in the risotto was very fresh, and thanks to it, it was a delicious dish with a lot of seafood stock And carbonara was ordered without much expectation, but the meat with a good smell of smoke boosted the taste of classical carbonara to the fullest In addition, it was in the best condition of any side bread I've ever eaten. Thank you for making today perfect and I will go again. See you soon! read more

Best Italian restaurant ever. And this is my 2nd trip to Italy from the USA. Food was delicious and low priced compared to other restaurants. Quality of the food and wine are amazing. Portion was plenty as well. If I come back to Milan, I will have to make sure I stop back here for dinner! I also forgot my purse hanging on the chair and walked at least 150 feet away from the restaurant before two or three servers shouted to me that I forgot my purse, and made sure I heard them and retrieved it. Nicest people I ever met in Italy. I will never forget this place. Best service we've ever had in the country of Italy. read more

My friend and I went here for dinner for the first night in Milan knowing we wanted to have risotto and came across settembrini 18. It was delicious, we got red wine and the risotto with ossobuco. They gave us complimentary limoncello (and mimmo refilled our shot glasses). Mimmo and Daniele were amazing! I even saw Mimmos name on here while I was looking for places to eat so when he mentioned his name to me I was like omg a yelp celeb lol read more

Some initially ordered dishes were no available, but the Food at the end was good and fresh, portions are big enough. Service is pleasant, especially for those who like intensive interactive with the waiters with a good sense of humor. Ambiance is good, place is spacious and light, well located. Not my best choice, but recommendable place read more
