    The food was overall fairly average, but unfortunately the service was really disappointing. When we arrived, no one even offered to take our coats, which was not a great start. Our waitress barely spoke to us, did not engage with the children at all, and even forgot to bring an extra plate so the kids could share their pizza. That may sound like a small detail, but for a family with children it makes a difference. What was especially noticeable was that other members of staff were much more helpful and had to step in several times, simply because our waitress was not managing the table properly. Overall, the service clearly had a negative impact on the evening.

    The food was delicious. The octopus salad was tender and flavorful. The pizza was delicious and so was the veal. We loved this restaurant.

    The food was excellent. In the menu they had a section dedicated to artichokes, and all the dishes were delicious. Service was top notch and so was the ambience. Highly recommend

    Nothing was great the service or servers seemed very annoyed and were rude to us. We asked one question and it was short snappy and we just felt very uncomfortable from the start.

    Food and atmosphere is great. A shame that the service is so bad - as if waiters are completely untrained.

    Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and very good food well presented and plenty of it. Menu not too extensive but enough to satisfy choice. Price mid range. We'll worth a visit when in Milan.

    We were in Milan for one night and after searching online I came across Il Tavolino. Absolutely incredible restaurant, service and atmosphere some of the best we have ever had. Food was wonderful and we were made to feel most welcome and price wise it was great. Highly recommended Il Tavolino.

    The pasta was so cold and arrived very very late. The starter also arrived with much waiting time and further they served a wrong dish without excuse us anything. Very bad education and very bad service. They asked us to pay twice with payment of fork and payment at cashier. It was horrible experience I have never had.

    In short - we left before ordering. No Italians, mostly Americans, Service wasn't up to par, food didn't look great and a quick calculcation (€3 cover; €6 wine, €6 water, €3 Coffee and €13 pasta - €31 a person....) made us decide we would most likely leave disappointed. We found a great spot a few blocks away where we had 2 home made pastas, a bottle of wine and water and coffee for €41 for two; go figure.

    Nothing special really . The pasta was tasty but the service was poor . It looks as if the waiter was in a hurry and wanted to get rid of us

    All good. Nice staff. Some confusion but most related to us being a group of 16 and some “in better form” than others. Good quality food and great wine. Beer was expensive but its milan. #puglife

    Staff attentive and friendly, food was well cooked and the wine recommended went well with our meal. The sauce on my turbot didn't , to my palate, quite work with the fish my wife loved the duck ravioli.

    We came in this restaurant many times. We reserve for eight people with La Fourchette one month ago. They place us downstairs, what we didn't appreciate and tell them. They answer that all was already booked. The service was not as good as usually. To much sucess !!! We paid 320 euro, and 3 of us eat pizza. Food was good and we can return especcially because the last occasion were good

    The beef fillet in gorgonzola cream sauce was cooked medium-well instead of medium but that is the only flaw we could find in our dinner. The seared tuna, gorgonzola-filled pasta "bundles" and clam and zucchini linguini were all fantastic! Mille grazie!

    The food was excellent, the service was great, the ambiance terrific, the entire staff very friendly and I cannot understand that some people give this restaurant poor reviews. Everything was first rate - definitely recommend this restaurant to visitors to Milan.

    Good quality of food, we had the Fiorentina, which was very nice but rather expensive (€75), and paccheri with truffles and Gorgonzola sauce (fantastic!). The wait between the starter and main was a little longer than expected, but I'd still come back another time.
