Unfortunately, the food was below mediocre at best. Both the octopus and the veal were cooked more than well done. The flavor of all the dishes were also underwhelming which made us question why we were eating at Il Cairoli. The background music was also not acceptable, suitable more to a disco than a restaurant. The only good thing was probably the friendly service which was not enough to ease the pain the food was causing. I am very surprised that a restaurant like this could be on any list by Michelin

It's a hotel restaurant with a very impersonal ambiance. The food is ok, but not great. The only good thing is the very attentive service. This restaurant should never be in the Michelin guide.

Uncertain why Michelin recommended this place. Good food, but no better than hundreds of other restaurants in Milan. Relatively sterile atmosphere compared with so many other traditional places. I wouldn't go back.

The staff and quality of food served were exceptional. We had authentic Italian pizza which was served to our liking, we were able to order our favourite cocktails that were not on the drinks menu (Long Island iced teas), and the fish pasta dish was a delight to savour. The food was Michelin standard as extend the value for money was also excellent.

Il Cairoli Bar & Restaurant is a Michelin-recommended restaurant that made our honeymoon dinner truly special. The service was efficient, polished, and thoughtful, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the moment together. Every detail felt well taken care of without ever being intrusive. We chose classic Milanese dishes — Osso Buco with Risotto alla Milanese and Cotoletta alla Milanese — and both were beautifully prepared. The flavors were authentic and comforting, yet refined, making the experience both memorable and meaningful. A wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion while experiencing the elegance of traditional Milanese cuisine. Highly recommended.

Really elegant restaurant in a hotel. The service was superb and the local Milanese dishes were delicious. I had the cotoletta alla Milanese and it was very delicious and tender. A person in our group was not as pleased with the entree, the restaurant had run out of the fish entree for that evening, and her option was a seafood pasta. For dessert we opted for traditional pannetone with a mascarpone cream

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!

Horrible 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.
