4/10Out of your expectation. As we see on pictures ,the decoration is fancy and good.However, the food tasted very simple and the service was just fine. I believe that we were paid enough for the bill but the waiter to confirm us the payment like “only just this’.When we were leaving that waiter wasn’t say anything or even a smile. We were disappointing.We can’t recommend to my friends .

6/10I had booked weeks ago, they gave us a table at the remote part of the restaurant and did not bother to change our seating even after we asked. Food mediocre. Expected a much more attentive service for New Year’s Eve, but nothing special, just an ordinary meal.

10/10I love this restaurant. Food as expected is amazing. But the staff and the ambience is what makes this place a perfect romantic or business lunch place. I'm always visiting when in the city

4/10DO NOT COME HERE. Where do I begin$1 I wish I read all the reviews more carefully and sifted out the fake ones. It was booked for a special occasion that was ultimately ruined by several factors. * RUDE STAFF: they were incredibly pushy with their insistence we buy a bottle of 70-80€ wine. We tried it - didn’t like it and decided to just get cocktails (we have ordered wine in every single restaurant we dined at in Italy - so this says a lot). Once we decided against the wine, the IMMEDIATE demeanor of the staff changed. They stopped checking in on us. Meanwhile, they hugged, laughed and sat next to tables that ordered and ordered bottles of their overpriced wine. * AWFUL SERVICE: can you imagine a so called established restaurant not knowing how to pace the food and sending out 4 out of 6 entrees so far apart from the last 2 that the first 4 people finished their dinner before 2 of us even GOT our dinners. * SUBBAR/EXPENSIVE FOOD: we ordered a zuppa w mussels and 50% of the mussels were closed. We are easy going people, and for a restaurant to anger us THIS much should tell you what you need to know. Oh and it is a major tourist trap. While I’m American, the fact that the entire restaurant was speaking English, was a major red flag. If Italians don’t want to eat here, neither should you. And I did speak with the restaurant manager who offered nothing more than a small apology

9/10The food was very tasty, recommended. The main waiter was really kind and funny and we enjoyed ourselves there. The only reason why I cannot give them full 5 stars is the speed of the service, which was simply slow. We had to waive to the waitress that we are ready to order after 20 minutes sitting at the table. Then the bread came after another 10 minutes. We had to ask for water 3 times... The restaurant was full, very busy place. The prices are sreep. Book in advance.

10/10Location is great, ambiance is great and food is what you can expect from a "core central Milan" restaurant, so absolutely fantastic. What I found really TOP was the waiting service. Our attendant gave us great wine reco, great dessert reco. Our attendant was always present yet, never intrusive. I have seen him having conversations in English and French with other guests with extreme ease and precision. The service team at this place is London-Knightsbridge/Mayfair grade. definitely recommended

9/10A lovely meal with friends for a small celebration. Great service, food, location and atmosphere - quite pricey, but the discount from The Fork meant an extra bottle of wine was essentially free!

7.5/10A place with nice ambiance and good service. But for the level that restaurant claims you expect way more. Starters were good, while compliment of the chef and main courses were very average. Would not come back as there are plenty of better places of the same price range in the city

8/10It's such a shame that the food wasn't good enough as everything else was fine. Great ambience, good service and great wines. However, the fish was overcooked and the pasta was ordinary. Perhaps it was on off night and if we had made different choices we would have been happy. They just need to focus on better food quality then they would be 10/10

4.5/10We had an 11pm reservation for after the theatre at which we arrived 20 mins early and the website said they took reservations up until 11:30. But soon as we arrived it was clear they were hoping to close up early. Would rather they just cancelled our reservation. They started turning off lights half way through our meal which was only 1 hr which is unheard of in Italy. Food was just average and the service was terrible.

9/10Visited in Late August so the restaurant was not very busy which sapped a little from the atmosphere. However that wouldn’t stop me highly recommending it. Food quality was exceptional and creative. Service was attentive but not intrusive and without pretension. Prices were I felt good value for the high standard and setting. Perfect for a romantic meal.
