This was my first time to Italy and I was anxious to try some great food. Every night around dinner…read moretime was a hassle as most of the restaurants known for great food are small and/or require reservations. Being that my friend and I are last minute girls we ended up getting turned down many times as restaurants were booked for the night. Then I came across this gem as I was searching the internet for dinner. The reviews seemed good so we called, quickly made a reservation and headed on over. It was a Monday night so it was very quiet, maybe 3 other parties. First I must say awesome music selection very calming and music to just groove to while eating ie: Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu, Janis Joplin. Ok, On to the food! Everything we ordered was amazing. I had the linguine with octopus, cherry tomatoes, and olives and then the beef on a bed of arugula. I ate everything, it didnt stand a chance, it was cooked perfectly with great flavors. I could tell how fresh everything was. Our waiter Meira (Im so sorry if I spelled his name wrong as we were rushing for the cab and i asked him as i was running out the door) was so great! He gave us great suggestions for our wine pairings, was funny and very nice to talk to. He spoke english (He used to live in New Jersey) which was a plus for us as we are from New York and were struggling around with the very little italian we know lol. We had the exotic fruit for dessert which was a treat because I was able to try fruits that I never had,such as passion fruit (I've only had the Welchs Passion Fruit Juice lol). My friend got a beef filet with a ginger walnut topping of the sort. While she said the meat was good it was a little ginger heavy which in all fairness our waiter did tell her that as she was ordering. He gave us suggestions for dessert wine as well which was delish. We ended up closing out the place, we were the last party there. With all the wine and talk we lost track of time but Meira* did offer to heat up my friends food as it had gotten cold while eating for we were there for a long time. I thought that was awesome and really thoughtful. I've never had anyone ask me that before, so definitely points for great customer service. He bought it back out all re-plated and pretty, it looked like a new meal! All together I believe our bill was around 90 Euros. Which I thought was great considering we had appetizer, 2 entree, 2 dessert, 2 glasses of dessert wine and a bottle of wine. Its was our last night there and I was almost sad because I would have definitely returned if we had found it sooner on our trip. Definitely recommended!

You can find out about restaurants in the weirdest ways. In Milan, I don't know anyone and don't…read moreknow much about the city. It's all a guess ... or it's McDonald's on Piazza Duomo. Here I was, at Turin's Porta Susa intermodal station and, after entering the Metro area, a guy was having issues with his ticket and was asking me how it all worked. He assumed I was a local. I suppose that was flattering in that I wasn't mistaken for an "ugly American." When he ended up downstairs on the platform, he told me he was from Milan so I asked him for the name of some "real deal" Milanese restaurants that are popular with the locals. Amici Miei was at the top of his list. Amici Miei is not that easy to get to. It's not near the main station or the Duomo. However, the Metro and a short tram ride will get you there. Let me go to the food and then address prices, service, and more. I didn't know what I would eat, so the table next to me "decided" for me. The tables are close to each other and the two young ladies at the adjacent table, one Italian and the other American, had ordered the same dish. I told the server that that's what I'd order. It was a very large Milanese cutlet, which they term "orecchio di elefante" (elephant's ear). That's because the bone is attached at its outer end and gives it that look. The fact that there is a bone can be ignored because the cutlet is generous. It was excellent, not to mention filling, and was garnished with potatoes. For the beverage, I ordered a bottle of mineral water and, to make it last through the meal, I ordered it "gassata." I had called Amici Miei to make a reservation. The person who answered was humorous and accommodating. When I went in, he told me that he had spoken with me on the phone. (Aren't phones great ... for what they were initially intended to do?) The server, the person who bussed the tables, and the cashier at the bar were informally friendly, which works for me. The place is in an older building, is not that roomy, and it must be popular because it was hopping on a weeknight. The fact that the Bocconi (Italy's equivalent of Harvard Business School, but with a higher admission rate) is a few blocks down the street probably sends customers their way. The price was a Milanese price, hence an urban Northern Italian price, and fair for the bountiful cutlet. The name Amici Miei is sort of funky. If you said "miei amici," that would mean you're talking about your friends in casual conversation. Inverted, "amici miei" sounds more declarative in an endearing or formal way, as if standing in front of a room with a gavel or about to make a toast, and then continue with what you wish to announce. This helped me remember the name of this restaurant that the Milanese visitor at a Turin Metro station told me about.

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!
