7/10Wonderful ambience. Excellent service. Mediocre meal. During our ten days in Italy, my wife and I agreed that this was our least memorable meal.

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.

10/10Hidden gem! Will return to this cozy restaurant when in Milano. Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and the owner was so warm and personable. Thank you for making my birthday so special!!!

6/10We have dined at this restaurant every time we are in Milan for the last 10 years, and we have great memories of our meals at Don Linsander. This is the only time we felt it was disappointing. We felt that they were understaffed and that the service suffered for it. In our view, the menu was limited (and they ran out of the fish even though we were the second patrons for dinner). The food was fine, but not, in our view, great. And we thought that the patio could really use a deep clean. I’m sorry to say we will probably find a new place to dine next time we are in Milan.

5.5/10The service is really bad, we waited for more than an hour for the main course and half an hour to present the bill to pay and leave. Everything else was good

4/10Didn’t like the dishes at all. The waiter recommended the best dishes what they have in the restaurant and one of the dish (linguine with seafood was too salty and not tasty) and the risotto wasn’t tasty too. I liked only burato

10/10Traditional milanese cooking. Ossobuco with rice and zabaione were perfect.

5.5/10This restaurant looks like something it is NOT. If you are from States, think of a restaurant near a mall, like a factory that makes cheesecakes, if you get where I’m coming from. The painted walls and ornate decor in the photos make is look very old, and parts of it may have been. Also about 20 minute cab ride from center of Milan Left before we were served last course because of a medical issue, and the staff were very helpful getting us out and in a cab. Food we did eat was nice but if you reserve thinking this is fine Italian dining, it is a resort, with hotel kitchen.

9.5/10Very accommodating staff and also very knowledgeable. Nice location and super atmosphere. Beautiful menu and of course you want thé veal Milanese! I was only concerned that the food came out too fast, thinking of the Sri Lanken flip and fast reheat.

8/10All seating outdoor in nice setting. Higher priced selections. Lobster pasta sauce was an uninspired skimpy red sauce for 48 euros.

7.5/10Waiter was rude, with an attitude and poor attention skills. Most of the evening we had to pour our own wine and water. He had been snappy and simply not very pleasant. Food was nice and ambience great!

10/10The restaurant opened 30 minutes earlier to welcome us prior to the beginning of an opera performance we had tickets for. Even though we had very little time to eat, the team ensured we had a pleasant experience and very tasty dishes. Definitely want to come again - with more time to enjoy the very nice ambience.
