Not only the atmosphere, but also the taste, quantity, price, and the owner were so kind that it was nice. 😀😀 I recommend it to Koreans! It's the best restaurant I've ever been to in Italy for 10 days. 👍👍👍 Since you said you're a Korean, you showed me your Netflix viewing list. lol I paid less than 100 euros for Kotolleta, Osobuko risotto, and a bottle of wine. 💕 The entrance is the entrance to the hotel, so you have to turn a little inward from the main street!

+2We visited Milan for 7 days and found this restaurant from The Fork. The food is amazing. The taste and presentation of dishes are the best I tried in Milan. The environment is very comfortable and the service is very nice. Highly recommended.

6/10Horrible service. We order a Sprite and a glass of wine and was never delivered the Sprite. After the glass of wine was finished, no one offered us another glass. Ordered a cutlet and it was raw. Told the waitress and she didn’t seem to care nor did anyone apologize. Also odd that we order 2 entrees and one appetizer and one entree and the app were derived at once. Then 10 minutes later the other entree was delivered thus it was odd that we didn’t eat at the same time. As we paid, they never even said Thank You. Just very poor service. Would recommend skipping this place.

8.5/10The problem is that the photos showed -a Milano tasting experience with small portions in each course. Perhaps this restaurant in a hotel had complaints about this so we received 2 courses of MASSIVE potions of excellent food . BUT - the massive bowl of risotto with osso bucco followed by a gigantic veal Milanese left us totally bloated . It was frustrating because the photos of tasting menu sized portions would have been perfect.
Il Cairoli Bar & Restaurant • Owner
Dear Joseph, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the quality of our dishes. We understand your point about the portion sizes — we aim to offer generous servings, but we also want every guest to feel comfortable and satisfied. Your comment is very helpful, and we’ll make sure to review how we present our menu and tasting experience so that expectations always match reality. We hope to welcome you again soon The management

5.5/10The kitchen was not operating when we arrived which is forgivable, however the restaurant made no effort to notify guests of the issue. The food was decent but lacked basic seasoning. My wife had a pasta dish that was absolutely flavorless and our appetizer was fishy and lacking acid.
Il Cairoli Bar & Restaurant • Owner
Dear James, First of all, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your experience with us did not meet your expectations Unfortunately, we had an unexpected issue with both electricity and gas service that evening, which deeply affected our ability to operate normally. This was a rare and unforeseen situation, and we regret not being able to communicate this more clearly at the time. We do hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future, should you return to Milan, so we can offer you the quality of food and service we are usually known for. The management

8.5/10Il Cairoli is a pleasant restaurant inside a central Milan hotel, just a short walk from some of the city’s best landmarks. The menu features a selection of local and classic Italian dishes. I tried the Milanese cotoletta, which I found a little dry and underwhelming: the sides came plain, including the salad, though perhaps that’s simply the traditional way it’s served. The restaurant itself is comfortable, though it doesn’t really stand out in terms of atmosphere or personality. On the bright side, we enjoyed a really good bottle of Barolo, which was a highlight of the meal. The staff were lovely, and the overall value is fair. Worth a visit if you’re nearby.

7.5/10Lovely food. Bread brought to table so we assumed it was included (as it had been everywhere else we ate in Milan). Another one brought and then taken away before finished. Both charged €5 each! Not very transparent.

6/10
The place looks nice, the service is good but the food is beyond disappointment. We were a group of three and all of us thought that the food is not even close to what we would expect from a good restaurant. When we asked if they have any sauce to accompany the dry meal that was brought to us we were given three choices: ketchup, mayo and mustard. We were in shock, we came to experience a good food and not McDonald’s.
Il Cairoli Bar & Restaurant • Owner
Dear Roman, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the ambiance and service, but we’re truly sorry to learn that the food did not meet your expectations. All of our dishes are prepared with great care and attention by our kitchen team, using high-quality ingredients. Our costoletta, for example, is made with premium veal, carefully breaded and traditionally fried in clarified butter — a preparation that many of our guests truly enjoy and appreciate. Similarly, our risotto is among the most loved items on our menu. We truly value your feedback and hope you might consider giving us another opportunity to provide the authentic, high-quality dining experience we are known for. Warm regards, The management

10/10Il Cairoli is in a very convenient location (part of Un Hotel) in a cute neighborhood close to our hotel near Duomo, it was a quick 1-2 stops via the metro and minutes from the exit. We were placed at a nice spot near a window as the sun was setting, there were other diners and guests of the hotel, though the staff were very attentive, kind and tried their best to communicate with us, though our Italian is less than adequate. We ordered a "Milanese Experience" which allowed us to sample many regional dishes, all excellently prepared, full of flavor and memorable. Highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Milan!

+10The restaurant location is very convenient and easy to find. The only thing we got confused about - the main entrance from the street was closed. We had to go to the side street, where the entrance to the hotel is, and get to the restaurant through the main lobby of the Hotel. The decor is pleasant and for our taste, relaxing. Nice view to the square, the castle and the sunset. The waitress took us to our reserved table right away. We order sparkling water and lemon, and that was served very quickly. The only thing that was strange at this point, counting we are in the upscale, Michelin rated restaurant, nothing was put under the bottle, so table became wet - not a big deal, but... The food was served promptly. Steak Tartar was very good, so the meatballs. Risotto with beef - OK, but just OK. Duck was cooked nicely, but missing some sweetness as for out taste (raspberry and red currant compote would be a nice addition). Octopus was very good. Nice chocolate pastry desert. Good prices.
