3.5/10The service was slow. I was charged 10 euros for it and for dry bread without olive oil. The Aperol was tasteless, because of too much ice. The decoration of the restaurant is mediocre, at best,, especially the feminine figure at the entrance. My wife's main dish, a salmon, was served without any side. Our bill came up to 97 euros, a total rip-off.

8.5/10Well located in the centre of Milan, in the Brera area, the Carminio has been furnished following a minimalist but not cold style. The smart lighting system ensures a warm and relaxing atmosphere; the tables are perhaps a bit small, but sufficiently spaced apart, even if placed within an equally relatively small space. The quality of the food is indisputable: while respecting the Milanese tradition, the creativity of chef Giovanni Costantino is able to give unexpected surprises and ample sensory satisfaction. Two dishes, among others, to be recommended are the typical, tasty Mondeghili, served with saffron mayonnaise, and the duck breast cooked at low temperature, really tender, fragrant and exotically garnished. We accompanied our lunch with an excellent Ribolla Gialla. The service is efficient and is provided with attention and kindness. Put simply, this is a restaurant that is definitely worth more than one visit.
Il Carminio • Owner
Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed our location, the atmosphere, and especially the dishes by our chef Giovanni Costantino. The Mondeghili and duck breast are definitely must-tries! We look forward to welcoming you back for another delicious experience. See you soon!

5/10We made a mistake and thought this was going to be a place for travellers to share food and relax. Instead we found a rather buttoned up business lunch spot where everyone else of both genders were wearing dark blue trousers and jackets with white shirts. The waiter took the same minimalistic approach to welcoming and serving us. Food was OK but beware of the €5 per head cover charge which made the four slices of bread and few words shared feel rather expensive.
Il Carminio • Owner
Dear Mrs. Steve, we are sorry that, despite having appreciated the food at our restaurant, you decided to give us a rating of six. In fact, during lunch, we host professionals from the surrounding offices who are loyal customers and, needing to return to work, require a faster service. We hope to welcome you for dinner, where we will surely have the opportunity to exchange a few more words and to greet you in a relaxed atmosphere.

Dear Shelly, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re happy to hear that the duck starter and cacio e pepe made such a lasting impression. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we’re delighted to have been a part of your memorable dining experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another exceptional meal!
