    The restaurant has a traditional setting, there were lots of staff on hand to cater for whatever we needed, they were very friendly and knowledgeable, the food was excellent, I would highly recommend the Scottish Blue Lobster, really tasty! We were pleasantly surprised when we received the bill, so all in all a great, highly recommended experience.

    Ho sempre amato questo ristorante, il cibo e la gentilezza del personale. Da questo inverno però hanno aggiunto troppi tavoli e c è troppa confusione. Ad ogni modo ci tornerei comunque, magari non per una cena con dei genitori

    Had a birthday celebration there and in the beginning the set of words and the tone of the hostess was not that relevant for the value of this place. Had a weird feeling after that. The food was nice but not the best I’ve ever had, the portions were considerably smaller than average and the lack of some ingredients was obvious. Went to the restaurant for the second time just to pick the headphones one of our guests lost there and the staff found them and gave them to us quickly. But the issue with the hostess was the same. We just asked if we could have lunch and sit there since we were in the restaurant but the hostess gave us a strange attitude as it was the previous time. It was fully booked but we could get a relevant response? Overall, the experience was fine, but I don’t know if I come here again. Wanted to share my feelings since we had a dinner on the important occasion in a place I’ve always wanted to come to

    Service was prompt and kind, the food was lovely and came quickly. The drinks options were limited to sodas and wine, fresh juice would be good to add to the menu. Definitely recommend

    Came in alone after a very long day of travel and the staff could not have been nicer or more attentive!! Got the branzino and Tempranillo and was one of the best meals I’ve ever had period, no exaggeration

    Nice atmosphere and venue somehow ruined by some young customers not very well educated. Food and cellar are pretty standard and nothing special, was expecting more. Pushing for white truffle dishes when it's not even season for them.

    All I can say is WOW! We had Marco as our server and he was amazing and really wanted to make sure we had a great experience as it was our first time in Milan! Everything we ate was amazing, served hot and the drink suggestions Marco have were spot on. Thank you so much Marco for making our first dinner in Italy spectacular!

    Very nice, lovely atmosphere and decor. The only downside was that my virgin mojito was the same price as an alcohol mojito - I have never been to a bar or restaurant that doesn’t charge a lower price for a non alcoholic cocktail.

    Dinner was nice, food was amazing although service could be improved, some of the waiters were quite rude. We also got mugged on the same street the restaurant is on so be careful with the area.
