Better yet, the food is to die for - pretty much everything I tried was drool-worthy, and I'd order it again in a heartbeat. Needless to say, the pasta dishes were a stand-out, so I'd order those first. If you find yourself in Milan, you really owe it to yourself to try this place!

I'm surprised this place doesn't have better reviews!…read more Service- 5 Decor- 4.5 Food- 3.75 Serves food from Puglia region... i did not try the typical orrechiette but my coworker who has been here countless times raves about it. I had the spaghetti + meatballs and while it was satisfying and a VERY generous portion, I was not blown away. Perhaps I did not order the best thing on the menu though and I am willing to give this place another chance. The tiramisu had great flavor but they did not have enough of the cake part.... most of it was cream, which was delicious, but not well proportioned. Complimentary focaccia which was fresh AF and so warm and crispy. I wanted moreeeeee! This place gets packed by 1pm so get here at 1230 if you want to get a table without waiting! Adorable "old school" decor with extremely friendly waiters... there is also a cute dog named Luna that sits by the cash register and is just waiting for you to pet her :)

My wife and I were married in Lake Como on June 29th. We had our guests come to Milan a few days…read moreearly to get their bodies on the local time and to tour the sights in Milan. We wanted to take our guests to the Navigli district to show them the river, have a great meal and experience the nightlife after the sun went down. I emailed several restaurants along the Navigli a few days before to ask if they would be able to accommodate 28 people. For one reason or another, I couldn't get anyone to take us! But Mattia Bilotta at the Asso Di Fiori - Osteria dei Formaggi emailed me back right away and was happy to have us. He asked that we pick a few antipasti, a few primi Piatti, a few secondi piati and a few desserts so that they could be ready in advance. When we got off the subway, there was a lot of graffiti on the walls of the buildings and I was worried that I was in a bad part of town as we walked up to the restaurant. But once we reached the river from the subway, I felt better about it. And when I entered the restaurant to let them know that we were here, there was a huge stuffed cow in the middle of the dining room! I knew the kids would LOVE that, but I was not prepared for how much the adults would love it. Once we were seated, Mr. Bilotta brought out a small black board with the meals we agreed on in advance written on the menu. He also allowed us to order the specials of the day, which were written on a big black board on one wall of the restaurant. This meal was everyone's favorite of the trip, by far. Every dish that came out was more incredible than the last. Each person ordered what they wanted, but when the food came out, it was so delicious they were compelled to pass their dishes to people sitting around them saying, "you HAVE to try this!!" We sat and laughed and ate for hours. Some people even ordered more entrées after they were done because the food was so good! Visited June 2013

The associated risotto was again good but super far from special. For Milano, there likely much better options.

The meats included prosciutto, speck, and a couple salamis. The cheeses were soft but not sharp or moldy. Overall, it was a pleasant and mild board. Next, we had the Milanese risotto with saffron. I prefer the rice to be a little softer; nevertheless, the flavors were delicious. Our main course was steak over arugula and parmigiana cheese. It was a small portion but good. I would have prefer the steak to be cooked a little rarer with more sear. For dessert, we had these chocolate pieces. It has the same granulated yet solidified texture as halva. It was excellent.

They also have a variety of prepared foods, including many kinds of pizza, sandwiches as well as cakes, pastries and other sweet things. The recent renovation doubled the size of the store; one side is now for morning coffee & brioche and for lunch plates, the other side is for over the counter purchases, much like in a bakery. Lunch plates are reasonably priced from 6 Euro to 10 Euro for everything on a plate ... the plain breads are not too expensive and sold by weight ... but the other prepared foods and cakes will burn a hole in your pocket. I can easily drop 25 Euro here if I buy prepared things for a lunch for 4, but plain bread for 4 can be just 2 Euro. Try the flat Piastra bread as well as the small round Bocconcinni.

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.

We were in Venice and Milan for eight days and went to restaurants based on Yelps ranking ... large number of reviews and high ranking. Although it was by our Milan hotel, we did not consider this place until our last dinner in Milan but of the low number of reviews. However, this turned out to be the best meal we had in Milan. I am convicted to do my part to let others know of this place. If you're looking for pizza and cheap eats, this is not your place. But if you're looking for a quality meal for a decent price, you must visit. The ambiance is very intimate, but because of the floor plan, it is also good for groups of 8. Each one of our dishes was great tasting. It tasted like it was prepared by people who "know" food rather that an assembly line of people. There were only two people serving about 7 tables when we entered and followed by about 5 more tables afterwards. They had about 35 customers at one point in time. The flow of dishes was at a good pace and never at any time do we feel like we had to wait for service. The two servers worked well together and managed the floor like a well oiled machine
