4.5/10Branzino priced at €40 with very poor quality and basically tasteless salad with chickpeas next to it, It’s a real shame because the location is one of the most charming around. Unfortunately, the lighting and decor choices create an awkward atmosphere. I’m convinced they could do much better both in terms of food and ambiance and more reasonable pricing would certainly help. Perhaps that’s why it was nearly empty at lunchtime. Not going back

Why did you address your compliments to the waitor when been asked? Hypocrisy. That's the real shame. And despite the empty city we stay open to offer our great service to whom is able to appreciate it, as you may read from the many positive reviews we are receiving. No need for you to come back.

10/10Highly recommended for anyone wanting a refined and delicious taste of Milan in a truly elegant setting. Dining at Don Lisander was an unforgettable experience. Located in the heart of Milan. A five-star experience from start to finish! The service was outstanding – professional, friendly, and genuinely attentive without being intrusive. The wine list is also impressive, with an excellent selection of Italian labels that pair perfectly with the menu.

10/10We found Don Lisander on a walk from our hotel to the Duomo. It looked welcoming from the street and a review of the menu they have outside the entrance made us decide it was worth a try. When we went to book online, we found that the restaurant has been in existence for decades. Arriving at the restaurant for our reservation we were shown into a dining room that was both rustic and cozy. Soft lighting and well spaced tables make this an ideal spot for a date night meal on a chilly night. The staff were friendly and accommodating. My travel companion is vegetarian and had several good allergies. They were able to make suggestions and work with the kitchen staff to make modifications to meet her needs. The food was outstanding and the wine selection paired well with the meal. They have a lovely terrace area perfect for warmer weather. We were very happy to make this culinary discovery.

10/10This is a terrific restaurant with a lot of great open air but covered space with heaters if needed. The food is fab and the service was charming - for what is a large restaurant.
