I visited for the aperitivo experience that I heard about from a trusted source. Compared to other aperitivo options out there, this was like a royal buffet. Honestly, there were too many options to try everything in one visit... but every dish I sampled was truly spectacular. I'll definitely be back to try the rest! There are indoor and outdoor seating options. Regardless of what you pick, you'll be dazzled by the attentive surface, delightful presentation, and upscale atmosphere. Definitely worth a few hours of your afternoon while you're in Milano!

Caprese had unripe tomatoes with generous uncut balls of fresh mozz and arugula, not basil. I'd expect this caprese in a mall, not this kind of restaurant. Meatballs were battered and the Milanese sauce was beautifully green but bland. My main was the pork cutlet. Very thin, big and not too greasy. Tasty but underwhelming. Served with some crispy potatoes, plus iceberg lettuce. Meh. Risotto Milanese should have been easy, right? Flavor was very good but the rice was not cooked enough, somewhat crunchy. Not great. Dessert was tiramisu and that was pretty good. Espressos were great. So many restaurants in this area, I'd skip this one.

We popped in late afternoon and they were quite busy. They quickly seated us and we each ordered a primi and a secondi. The food arrived quickly. The veal with tuna was unique. I was expecting thicker pieces of veal. Overall, a nice appetizer. The chicken bites were way more substantial and each bite of chicken, eggplant and tomato really held its own in the dish. The pastas were each made so well and we were blown away. The seafood sauce with shrimp and squid ink pasta was out of this world and my SO's pasta topped with bacon was phenomenol. This is a must visit when you are in Milan. Better yet, your stomach and wallet are both happy after this meal.

Pinch is a total replica of American hipster craft cocktail bars, in Milan. The bartenders wear suspenders and do tricks with shakers. I'm waiting for an ironic mustache, preferably like the Moretti guy has. The drinks are exceptional. When I was there, they had one made of green tomatoes and mountain pine liqueur that was a taste party in my mouth. The aperitivo snacks are also really excellent, a small tray of various interesting crunchy things. No potato chips -- we're talking samosas in wonton wrappers with sweet chili sauce, Indian curry rice, a ham-arugula roll, and baba ghanoush. My second drink didn't quite match the first, but it was close. Also, the only bar in Milan that gave me *zero* grief about wanting a simple glass of tap water. In fact, they just give you one. Mega bonus points for that. I'm sick of paying for "aqua panna Toscana" that I neither need nor want. Been drinking Milan tap water in my hotel room for four days now. It's fine. Pour it on. Food offerings from the regular menu are a little hit or miss, but on the other hand, I had kind of stuffed myself with aperitivo. Had I been hungry, might've been a different story.

And yet I thought this Milanese neighborhood was only…read morefilled with bars with bad & cheap drinks, loud music and greasy aperitivo food (well, there are plenty of bars like that but thankfully not all of them). Pinch is a new bar right in Ripa di Porta Ticinese, not in the pedestrian part of the Naviglio, which means they don't have outside seating - except for the tables at the windows. It has a retro vibe, as if you entered a 1920s bar, dim lights, soft 1920's music; elegant but not ostentatious atmosphere. The cocktails list has about 15 signature cocktails, all with an explanation of the alcoholic level (medium or high), taste (fresh, spicy, bitter, etc.) and of course the ingredients, classic cocktails with a twist, made extremely well, with good ingredients. They also have a food menu but I didn't check it out since we were there for the aperitivo - which then turned into after-dinner drinks. I had the "South of the Border" with tequila, chartreuse vert, lime juice, sugar syrup and fresh mint, it was fresh and delicious, then I had another one and another one... just to be sure they were made perfectly ;) For the aperitivo, our cocktails were 8 euro each and the waiter (who looked like Robert Pattinson) brough a small tray with some snacks: rice and salad in small glasses, chips, mini-sandwiches and a couple of vol-au-vents - not enough to fill our stomachs completely but also not the average greasy aperitivo food. Nice staff, a full bar with quality bottles and clean bathrooms complete the experience. Too bad it's far from my house, but worth the subway trip back!

The tartines look pretty but barely have any toppings compared to the amount of bland bread they're put on. It's like sushi at an all you can eat place where they put the thinnest slice of fish possible on okay rice to make it look pretty, but there's barely any substance. The only customers there were tourists. Locals seem to know better.

On the 8th floor of the COIN Building in Piazza Cinque Giornate, you'll find a nightlife staple, with sophisticated restaurant design and unique charm. I opted for lunch on the terrace, which offered a breathtaking view of the city. I was able to relax and sip a glass of wine while the city bustled below. I started my lunch with the "raw special" dish, consisting of slices of raw tuna, salmon, amberjack, and swordfish. I also indulged in raw Sicilian prawns, which came highly recommended by the server. Absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, the raw seafood definitely got me excited for my main course. Scrumptious Kobe rump steak tataki, topped with a creamy bean sauce and sweet caramelized red onions has to be the most wonderful thing I've ever tasted. The meat was tender and juicy, and the creaminess of the sauce complimented it perfectly. Even though I had enjoyed every last bite of my food and was feeling full, I knew I just had to try dessert. I opted for something light - the raspberry parfait in mango sauce - because fruit is always a great way to end a meal, right? Right! The parfait was topped with a red, ripe strawberry, which I saved for last, of course. I can't wait to come back to Globe and enjoy a cocktail, unwind in the lounge, and even try their dinner menu. The whole experience was amazing, from the views on the rooftop to the great food, and the friendly servers. I can't think of a better way to enjoy delicious cuisine in Milan, other than dining at Globe Restaurant and Lounge.
