The food is great. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is familiarly cozy. But if a restaurant is all about the food this could be the best food in Milan. Came here ten times in two weeks. 5 stars.

Was in Milan for just an afternoon and made sure I came back here for the second time after my last visit a few years ago. An excellent restaurant with great service and highly knowledgeable staff. Good wine, especially the sweet wine, and wonderful food from the first course to the dessert. There is comfortable and shaded outdoor seating when it is not too hot, but the indoor seating is also lovely.

Old school Italian eatery with more pig memorabilia than expected! Excellent service, wide choice of wines, and most importantly superbly presented & prepared food.

Food is good but dessert is even better. I had my best panna cotta of my life here. With wine and dessert, it will be around 60€ per person. I suggest!

Authentic restaurant on a place you would never expect. Big portions, extremely kind and dilligent staff. I recommend the fresh pasta they do homemade, as well as the "bue piemontese affumicato". I enjoyed one of the best lambrusco ever for only 20€/bottle! I will sure come back if I am around

Kind staff and good food. Huge portions though. Is that good or bad?
