    Came for Valentine’s Day dinner. Service was very good, osso buco was very good, cacio e pepe was good, wine by the glass was good, which we find is rare in restaurants because the bottle has been open for so long.. Ambiance was very nice. Would come back again.

    Restaurant is located at the automobile bridge for the canal. We sat on the lower level which was quiet and cosy. Excellent waiter service. Food was fantastic. We had the meat dumplings to start and osso buco in risotto. Wonderful selection of wine.

    The district where restaurant is located is one of the lively nightspots of Milan but the restaurant itself is in a quieter part so less tourist traffic. Food was quite generous and value for money. Service staff were professional and attentive.

    The Ossobuco di Vitello con Risotto alla Milanese was absolutely delicious but perhaps the most remarkable taste sensation was the Parmigiana Di Melanzane e Stracciatella which was as light as air but truly delicious! I was disappointed that the Panna Cotta was no longer available but the Affogato al Caffe was a very worthy alternative. Our waiter was a delight, wish I had his name to publish!

    This is our fourth time here. Every time we're in Milano, we never fail to visit Osteria at least once. The food is amazing and Alfred is easily one of the best servers I've had the pleasure of meeting. We always have an amazing meal/time with friends here. Definitely check this place out if you have the opportunity.

    Talked in front of and made fun of by the waiters for eating by myself. Would not recommend. Do not go here. Food was good, but prices are more expensive when you get there

    Classic Milanese dishes offered at reasonable prices. We enjoyed Rissoto Milanese, Veal Osso Bucco and pappardelle with meat sauce. Indoor or outdoor seating. Very pleasant.

    Osteria della Darsena is quintessential Milanese cuisine along the Navigli. An absolute treat tucked away but well worth the find. Friendly service and extensive menu. You won’t be disappointed. You are sure to find something here to make you feel Milanese.

    The young waiter has extremely bad attitude. We ordered a few dishes. The first dish of mussel soup has a bad smell and when we raised the matter, the waiter didn’t even answer but take away the dish. The fried pork chop tastes good but a quarter of it is raw. Overall, food quality is soso while the service made it a very bad experience.

    Service and hospitality were really great, warm and sympathetic. We tried the famous milanese risotto with safron, it was delicious. The tiramisu dessert was top notch as well!

    After a long trip down to Milano we decided to have an early dinner, maybe to early for the pasta that were too al dente, the service was perfect and offered their homemade Tiramisu which was just delicious. The steak was good and tasty. We liked the place it missed not much to get a fifth star
