8/10Don Carlos is a lovely and well-appointed restaurant near La Scala. The service is courteous and friendly. The captain and waiters were first class. The only disappointed factor is the food. This was my second visit and my reaction to their menu was regretfully quite different both times. The initial visit about 4 years ago was memorable. The dishes were traditional and prepared with considerable flair. On my recent visit, the food choices were not good. The chef sadly decided to revamp his menu and instead of improving it, weakened it. He unsuccessfully attempted to approach a semi-novelle-cuisine approach that was beyond his capabilities. Furthermore, his "improvisations" failed to blend with the elegant surroundings. Too bad.

+2Magdi greeted us at the door and promptly sat us at a lovely table. The restaurant has an old world charm that was perfect for a Sunday evening. We had let the restaurant know that we were opting for the 6-course Chef’s Choice tasting menu; it was fantastic! Each course was just the right amount of food with amazing flavors and creative combinations. The pace of the meal was spot on, giving us time to relax a minute and enjoy the wine we had ordered. Magdi and Roberto (?) were very attentive and efficient and extremely friendly. The evening passed by quickly and, by the end we were beyond satisfied. Don Carlos is definitely a restaurant to seek out when in Milan. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The small restaurant, 10 tables in the ornate hotel was very genuine old world and the ambiance tremendous. The main courses ordered were perfection with additional home made crostini, bread, pastries and chocolates all made the meal exceptional. The wine list was top end and diverse, marvellous! A very special meal.

9/10We had a wonderful dinner at Don Carlos. It was a rather unplanned evening but the warm and welcoming staff made the dinner a wonderful one. The venue appears to have been the ?drawing room in its previous role in the building and that added to the comfortable atmosphere. the steak was a bit overdone but the ravioli in a clear broth was magical. Mad ethe whole night complete.

10/10Don Carlos it is a unique place: great food, best ambiance and best of the best staff. The recipes and plates are great. Setting, and use of the tableware is precise. But above all, the staff is eager to make you feel special, and every recommendation they give you is planned to make your meal a memorable one! I really loved Don Carlos from alpha to omega!

10/10Excellent dinner in good company at my favorite restaurant in Milano. Maitre d’ Davide and his colleagues took very good care of us despite our slightly late arrival. Menu, table, ambience and service were all superb. Such a distinct joy to be dining again in this beautiful venue after three long Covid years. Very highly recommended my friends.
