The decor is long on blue&white, but don't let the slightly kitschy theme fool you - this is good stuff. The menu is pretty big, but pretty much everything on it is *excellent*, especially the pasta. Oh, speaking of the pasta, go for anything that has bottarga on it, you won't be disappointed! Add in a really good wine-list, friendly staff, and 'straordinarily good bread (that they make in-house!), and there really isn't much to let you down :-)

The more the merrier we say. Food was pretty good however there was a consensus that the beef carpaccio lacked flavor. I was also surprised to order the octopus but barely found any octopus in the dish, it was more of a shrimp dish which was not described in the menu at all. This is why I took 1 star off. All in all - we had a good time, the staff was friendly and patient with our large group.

But it was a few blocks from our AirBNB, it looked lovely, and we were hungry. To our surprise there was an available table. You can study restaurant reviews all you want, but sometimes you just have the good fortune to wander into a wonderful restaurant. And that was exactly our experiences at Al Mercante. We ate on the beautiful terrace which faces the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana art museum. The small piazza where Al Mercante is located was very quiet at night. The interior of Al Mercante is quite elegant. While the majority of the clientele were foreigners, there was small wedding party a couple of tables over. We had the very good fortune to be waited on by Angelo, a professional waiter who loves his job (23 years at Al Mercante!) and who ensured that we had a fine dining experience. Angelo speaks beautiful Spanish and we were able to have a more complete discussion than usual about the menu. I've managed to forget the details of the wonderful food we ate so I hope I. don't commit any serious omissions as I reconstruct our meal. We had an appetizer which I cannot recall. I think it was some sort of raw fish (crudo sounds better) with just a hint of citrus almost like an Italian version of ceviche. Our primo (shared) was wonderful: porcini mushrooms on roasted potatoes. What great taste from two simple ingredients. The secondo (also shared) was salmon coated in sliced almonds and a wonderful lemony sauce. Quite simply it was perfect. We had a terrific white wine that might have been a vermentino. Angelo didn't have biscotti with vino santo so he suggested sbrisolona -- another kind of dessert biscuit. -- that seemed to be homemade -- and a digestivo. In between all of this were wonderful amuse bouche. Here's what I'd like you to know: this was a wonderful, elegant meal served by a very professional waiter in beautiful surroundings. Al Mercante provided a delightful meal on our last evening in Milan.

A line of about 15 people formed a ten minutes prior to opening on a Saturday afternoon. It's also best to have a gameplan in mind of what you want to order. We didn't and it was clear the staff essentially rushed us through. I understand that they have other customers in line, but the ordering process is very stressful. We ordered scallops, shrimp, octopus, calamari, and potatoes. The food was overall well-cooked. The value here is great; to get all this fresh seafood for ~40 euros is a nice deal. This is one of those where I wish I could give half stars and would rate it a 3.5. I would probably come here again, especially if I had more time to order my meal.

My son ordered the carbonara. It was so creamy and the bacon inside is so delicious. The bruschetta .... Ahhhh!!!! That was to die for. The toast was so crunchy and the tomatoes tasted so good.

OK food but really small portions and really slow service. Very overpriced…read more I met up with eight of my friends here and they took forever to see you guys. They first asked if we have a reservation and I said no and they got very upset about it. Even though the restaurant was almost empty. It has good food but the food took way too long to be considered worth it. This place is nothing special, and Chiara Ferragni's blog belied the fact that it is OVERpriced and SLOW! Based on the Internet reviews, we thought this restaurant would be fabulous, trendy, and reasonably-priced. Wrong! Menu reads mouthwateringly good but then you are disappointed because the portions are the size of half of an appetizer in America! I would've enjoyed larger portions for a lower cost at a lesser known restaurant over this place- and the margaritas are NOT alcoholic enough. If I'm ordering a drink.. I want a drink. Lol. Wouldn't go back, but the food, despite being small and overpriced, tasted pretty good... If you're not worried about money or time, this one's for you... I got the vegetables in oyster sauce, shrimp dumpling soup, and chicken, and these 3 combined were still not as big as a regular APPETIZER portion in America... Crazy! Also got water and margarita... Totaled to €50- not worth it at ALL. Had a great night out with friends, but certainly not because of the restaurant...

We had spent the day in Milan and we were dressed casual. The "doorman" REFUSED to let us in. I could CLEARLY tell this was because of what we were wearing. They had about 10 tables outside on the patio. I explained to the doorman that we visit Nobu's all around the world and this is our 20TH Nobu location. He still refused to even let me step inside to take a picture. He waived a waiter over, I explained that this is the 20TH Nobu we are trying to visit, and somehow, magically, they had a table right away!! IMAGINE THAT!! I have NEVER, EVER, EVER, experienced this type of HORRIBLE service at any location around the world. I was appalled at the lack of service this Nobu showed. Extremely embarrassing for the brand. I will NEVER recommend this location to ANYONE.

We did not make a reservation because we weren't sure what time we could get there after a full day in Milan. So we were just planning on getting drinks & appetizers at the bar. Even though the bar was EMPTY, the "doorman" would not let us inside because of how we looked. You MUST be young & beautiful to enter this establishment. Luckily, a waiter overheard us saying we go to all of the Nobus around the world and found us a table outside. At this point, we didn't want to give them any of our money (which would have been a lot) so we just got drinks but no food. Our waiter was great but the doorman needs to be fired!

Thankfully, a'Mare did not disappoint. I love a good seafood pasta and they delivered!! They had this special - seafood carbonara - which was truly chef's kiss. The seafood was all cubed up into small pieces and the sauce was exquisite. We also ordered a pasta with mussels and that didn't disappoint either. The round of Aperol spritzes was also amazing but they offer a lot of wine as well (which probably would've paired equally well with the pasta, but my heart was set on Aperol spritzes for my Italy vacation). Service was good - bathrooms were clean but tiny and could be better in my opinion. You also have to pay upstairs at the register rather than at your table. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're close by and visiting the Duomo. It's approximately a 5 min walk away and worth it!
