I recently dined at Al Mercante and had an outstanding experience. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive—attentive, professional, and friendly. The ambience added to the charm, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food and service makes it worth it. Highly recommended for those looking for a memorable dining experience in Milan.

Make sure you pay attention to whether you actually get a decent measure of a glass of wine as a dribble on top of wine already in your glass is not really €8! Seems pity to mention this as otherwise classy evening.

Lovely setting, close to the Duomo but in a quiet square. It was nice sitting outside on a balmy night. We had the Milanese veal cutler and it was delicious.

I found this restaurant with recommendation on The Fork. I am vegetarian and made special request in my reservation. There was a language barrier and not great options for vegetarian food. The staff was accommodating- they did provide us some vegetarian options but main dishes were not up to the mark. We did like the appetizer, dessert and the wine that waiter recommended. If you are looking for vegetarian specific options I’d consider other places.

Food quality and presentation is excellent. Efficient service. We went for dinner at 8pm and not many diners at that time. Filled up and more lively around 10pm on a Friday.

We had lunch in this restaurant on a. Saturday, which we were able to reserve the night before. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and is in a fantastic location in Milan, about a block from La Scala and the Duomo square. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the service is fantastic, very friendly and efficient and the staff seemed to anticipate your needs. The food and wine here is amazing! Absolutely delicious and priced fairly. We look forward to returning to this restaurant and can recommend it heartily.

I really like this restaurant. It was recommended by a friend a long time ago and I always go there ( as I did at their old address) when I am in Milano. Excellent, easy going and simply a joy.

The owner and staff made us feel both at home and special. The food was amazing and paired with excellent wine suggestions. I had been concerned that we wouldn't enjoy the inside as much as the al fresco experience, but it was wonderful.
