They only have one bathroom in the whole restaurant so keep that in mind lol. The food itself wasn't super spectacular, we got the truffle ravioli and it was OK. The charcuterie and cheese wasn't anything special either, you can kind of go to the supermarket and just procure the same things. I think the best thing that we ate was probably the chocolate salami as it's this fudgy biscuit with whipped cream on the side. That was something I've never had before and it was unique and worth trying.

I was craving good lasagna, and I think the lasagna here is about as good as it will get in Italy. They don't use as much meat or tomato sauce as Americans do, but this was able to hold me over until I got home. We were served very quickly and able to finish our bread, drinks, and lasagnas within 30 minutes door to door on a Friday night.... Other tables were enjoying their time, so that is totally acceptable as well. Overall a great meal.

4/5/24 - We'd been walking around and liked the look and aroma coming from this place. Besides…read morevines and flowers, the outdoor dining area seemed to have mostly locals. If it had been a little warmer and less windy we'd have wanted to sit there, but we opted for indoors. It wasn't crowded when we arrived but got pretty busy soon after. We were seated immediately and loved the "old world" feel of it. The menu wasn't large but all the choices were of interest. We asked our server recommendations and he suggested a Chianti and Mamma's Ravioli. Since it seemed apparent that Mamma, or at least her family were on site, we agreed with both. They came quickly along with a lovely bread. The Chianti was a lovely house wine and paired well with the ravioli. While the ravioli portion wasn't large, they were wonderful! There was no rush to get us out even though we did not order dessert. We have no idea when we might be back to Milan. However, having been treated like good friends, we would surely want to return to this GEM of a restaurant.

We didn't want to have the kitchen open back up for us if they were already wrapping up. They assured us the kitchen wouldn't be closed for another 15 minutes so to come on in. We ordered the pizza, and the pizza guy had a meltdown. Apparently he had already started cleaning up for the night. We felt bad but also a little off putting that he would make such a scene in front of all the guests. Other than that we had a wonderful meal.

Heard great things online, recommend by chatGPT and booked a reservation…read more Small place, friendly service, but time limit on the table, so if the service is a bit slow, you might be mid dessert and you're being asked to leave when the next party has arrived. Not a big deal, they let you know there is a time limit, but maybe they should keep the service flowing so that doesn't happen. The interior decorator here did a great job with the time warp back to the mid 20th century. Cool vibe. Food was ok. Perhaps using old recipes from the time period is not so good for a tourist? I wasn't really impressed with the food, but I don't have a cultural link to Milanese food to begin with, so I don't think I was fully able to appreciate it. If my grandmother made this when i was a kid, perhaps it would have been better, but the meal was lost on me. There are plenty of spots to grab a good meal, I'd only recommend this place if you have a fond memory of the menu items or you really want to time travel and post to social media.
