Very worth and a popular spot by Arco della Pace! We first arrived at 18:00 on a Monday and luckily…read morethe good weather meant we could sit outside. 15 euros for one drink and unlimited food - mainly pasta, pizza, dessert, and rice (that could pass for biryani). The best was the spinach ravioli and fracado drink. This was such a good deal!! Very worth it and we totally could have just had dinner here with small plates. By the time we passed by at 21:00, it was popping outside. We did see some flies around the kitchen, by the desserts. Which is why it's not 5 stars.

They have a buffet for apertivo - all you can eat always a bad sign - food was not made with any care The Negroni - not made with any care If your someone coming to Milan to experience - good cuisine and drinks even for apertivo - skip this

For Aperitivo, this is an awesome spot! Lots of hot and cold foods, with several 'hot carts' keeping the food warm. Small sandwiches, rice salad, pasta dishes, cheese, green beans, cold cuts, olives, fries, bread, etc. All for the regular Aperitivo price. A nice spot to stop, any time of year. Make a note: they collect payment when your drink arrives and they only take cash. Cin, cin!

#MilanHappyHour... We we had heard rumours of the amazing…read moreHappy Hours in Milan where you purchase a cocktail and then you get with an appie buffet - all you can eat... so we went in search of on our first night... Our Yelp search pulled up nothing close to our apartment so we went on a "walk about". Only half a block away we stumbled across Victum. We figured - looks like a great modern atmosphere so what's the harm?!? As our first in Milano (so nothing compare to) we were blown away - we thought awesome... It'll be hard to beat "our first". Victum had great cocktail selection, wines and also a premium wine option. (We had a nice Sauvignon Blanc €10) €10-15 for wine/cocktail plus all you can eat appie buffet. Can you get any better?? It was all delicious. Buffet Inc: The rocket salad with cherry tomatoes plus baby bocconcini and corn kernel was fresh light and oh so tasty to off set the fried dough with tomato cheese (panzerotto). Pasta salad, Tuna Niçoise, rigatoni bolognese style, grilled zucchini & eggplant... Small sandwiches ranged from a proscciutto, tuna to caprese. Veg Omelette wedge & quiche wedge... Plus some tasty dessert pastries. Open at 18:30-22:30 Summary - Unbelievably YUM - Low cal options - Fresh - plus some indulgent appie options. (Models were eating in a table next) Modern blend atmosphere - love it!

Wow, Il Tempio d'Oro is missing an English review. How comes?…read more This is one of the "secret" places of the Milanese "Aperitivo" (happy hour), the pre-dinner drink which comes with a buffet dinner of its own :-) The offering of Il Tempio d'Oro during their happy hour is quite good and extensive, can happily substitute dinner, and the drinks and beers are all good and not terribly expensive. Outside buffet hours, the menu is still very good, but not that cheap. The place is very informal/"alternative" style, and can accomodate groups, maybe not extremely large ones. Pets are welcome :-)

We stopped in here on a Saturday night for the infamous "apertivo."…read more This is a no frills place, with lots of tables crammed too close together. I felt like we were packed in like sardines - it was impossible to get to our table or for the servers to get through. The service was also very slow. It was fairly busy because of the apertivo hours, but there were at least 4 servers, and considering the size of the place, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did for service. We had to flag someone down to order because nobody ever came to help us. Anyhow, this is definitely a great spot for apertivo. If you aren't sure what that is - it's like happy hour, except you get food along with your drink purchase. Prices were reasonable - I had the largest Hoegaarden I've ever seen and it was only 6 euros. They set up a pretty sizeable buffet, which you are free to enjoy as many times as you'd like. The food was pretty good and it was a decent selection. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking out!

New York, New York never leaves us…read more Of course one of the few restaurants open late is named Manhattan. Our Airbnb host recommended the place, and we figured it was better than starving. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Friday night meant they had a live singer belting classic American songs and more recent pop. We heard the music of Elvis and JLo throughout our meal from a singer that actually sounded much better than we thought she would. The menu is bilingual and we tried to remain as authentic as possible. I opted for the carpaccio amalfi, the bf had the prawn pasta, and we split a sautéed sea bream. The carpaccio was the star of the meal. The quality of the meat was so fresh, and maybe because I'm a rare meat kind of guy, I was sad when we only had two pieces remaining. The accompanying mozzarella gave it a smooth texture addition, although the olives tasted more like they were canned. I enjoyed it down to the last bite. The pasta was my least favorite for a couple reasons. The spaghetti was a little thin (the noodles weren't dense and felt/tasted a lot lighter), and the sauce tasted a little off to me. I tried one of the prawns and just wasn't impressed. The sea bream tasted fresh, although the cooking method wasn't my favorite. I asked for lemon (which I later learned is actually disrespectful as it's said that lemon should only be used to mask the flavor of the fish), and I thought it was a slight improvement. Presentation was also not so great, as the shredded carrots made the fish look cheap. Overall we were very satisfied with the meal. The service was great, the singing was hilarious, and the amazingness of the carpaccio was definitely worth noting. Manhattan's not a bad choice for late night food, but hopefully we have more options to choose from next time.

Awful experience. Very inattentive staff, very old, dated and dark dining room and average food…read more This place doesn't even come close to 4 or 5 stars. Also, they have that bs rule according to which they won't allow you to pay with cards if you don't spend at least 10€. And for the record that's their rule, so you don't have to do that, it's just them telling you to do that. Service: I enter the place and stand there for a few minutes without anyone of them caring about a new customer stepping into their door. They were walking in front of me and pretending like they didn't see me. So after a while I approach the owner at the counter and he goes "yes?". I ask for a table. He walks in the dining room without saying a word, so I guess I have to follow. Tables were all filthy. They left them that way. They cleaned a part of the table and sat me there. Then the owner comes and literally THROWS the menu on my table while walking somewhere else! I mean what the heck, ho can you be so rude to your own customers? I finally order and the result of their cooking, without surprise, is comparable to the attention they put in looking after their customers: average, disappointing. I got a pizza, which was average at best. This is Milano, there is some of the best pizza in the world, places like this don't have hope to survive. Concluding, place has no identity, the menu is massive, they don't have something they are good at, they are inattentive and the dining room looks really dated and dark. Definitely not coming back here again. Waste of my time.

Let me start by saying delicious, I had the Briosa (pomodoro, mozzarella, Brie, porcini fungi)[€9]…read moreand bruschetta (fresh basil and tomatoes, so good!!!!) another person ordered Crudo(prosciutto Crudo, mozzarella, pomodoro)[€7.50] and the other had buffala(mozzarella de bufala, pomodoro, and basil)[€5]. All of these were molto bene, muy bueno, delicioso, treś Bon. The service was fast, and willing to work with my broken and awful Italian. They even have a sign that infoms you when their English speaking staff is working that day (in case you happen to need it,as I did). It is very close to the metro, the bus, and a short walk from many hotels in the area, leaving you no excuses not to eat here. Now after all this about pizza one might think this is all they do, and one would be wrong. The menu is full, from pastas to steak to desserts, leaving no stone unturned. The atmosphere was friendly yet nice, the kind of place that you can dress up or down for. Bring a date, bring a friend, bring your appetite. If you are in the area or willing to be, check out this gem. Worth it!
