The Synopsis
The place in brief
“Bar Il Cenacolo is a highly appreciated spot for its strategic location near the Cenacolo Vinciano, offering an authentic and informal experience. Although some customers were disappointed by the quality of pre-cooked and reheated dishes, many others praise the courtesy of the owners and the good value for money. It is an ideal stop for those looking for a quick, welcoming, and no-frills meal during a day of sightseeing.”

29/05/2026I had the lasagna and a beer both extremely delicious. The lasagna melted in my mouth and I wanted to order 2 more servings. I also had a beer and it was nice and cold. Perfect after a day of walking

27/05/2026Very delicious, tasty homemade food. It’s pleasant to have a breakfast here. Exited to eat here :)
Diane Woodford
04/05/2026We enjoyed a delicious traditional meal made with love. The restaurant is quaint and cozy with more locals than tourist which was quite refreshing for atmosphere and prices. The service was exceptional and we felt welcomed! We were well pleased and highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼

29/04/2026Had a sandwich here when they were already cleaning, but they made a very kind effort to still find the ingredients needed and prepared it for us. Lovely people and good sandwich.

15/04/2026Amazing food and staff!
Mark Vansluytman
15/04/2026Delicious food, and fast service. My loud American family was quiet for the most part once the food came out.

04/04/2026Food is from microwave and at the same time costs standard price. Toilet is a nightmare. To go there you have to go corridor like at the picture. There was no water in sink.

25/03/2026We just stopped for a few drinks. Good prices and staff were nice! Definitely visit if you're nearby
Edgar Soliz
04/03/2026Amazing food!! They speak English better than I do, and were very nice people. A perfect stop after visiting The Last Supper.

25/02/2026A small family business with great traditional food and service. You can have the true italian experience. Everything is fresh and tasteful!!!
Huey Fischer García
24/02/2026Relaxed and quick spot for a bite after visiting the nearby Last Supper museum; very friendly staff; decent cheap pasta. Great place to take a quick rest.
Michal Krzeszowski
21/02/2026Very tasty food, friendly staff and a very good prices. The downside is that the dishes are ready in the plates behind the window and microwaved when you choose, however our food was fresh and very very tasty.
Kayla Andrews
19/02/2026The BEST little hole in the wall we've been to since arriving in Italy
David Hann
04/02/2026We popped in after a long day of cultural delights for a cheeky beer (Peroni) and ended up eating locally made pasta dishes that were magnificent ! Many thanks simple but exactly what we’re after - a local experience !
Kacper Nadolski
16/01/2026I stopped by quickly because I was nearby, and I randomly stumbled on a great place. The guy behind the counter didn’t speak English at all, only Italian, but the cappuccino he made me… honestly, the best I’ve ever had in my life. I’m not exaggerating. I already recommended it to my friends who’ll be in Milan in March, and I’m pretty sure they’ll drop in if they’re in the area. Highly recommended.

09/01/2026Nice cozy place with affordable Italian meals. The coffee was really good too. We had a pasta, eggs with ham, and a cheese carciofi dish (don’t really know what it’s called - see photo) which were all good. Recommended for a casual bite before going to see the Last Supper. Owner was lovely and friendly.
Daniel Nehme
14/12/2025Had two servings of lasagne and a small bottle of water that came to €20 with no itemised receipt to fact check. Food is microwaved.

08/11/2025very rude to non italian speaking customers. bland food very overpriced. don’t go!

01/11/2025My absolute favourite place in Milan for lunch. Unbelievably cheap, delicious food, wonderful friendly Italian service. I honestly can't fault it.
Ralph Cylon Jacinto

11/10/2025Great place with reasonable prices. We had lasagna and carbonara, and they were delicious, 10/10. The lasagna literally melted in your mouth.
Lily Kush
25/09/2025A cute family style place with a variety of options (both breakfast and lunch). We took sandwiches, hot cocoa and fresh orange juice. The owners were lovely and the food tasted great, a wonderful way to start your day

21/02/2025The best way to start the day is with an authentic Italian breakfast in the central of Milan.

06/02/2025They were so nice, recommended some items, service was fast and great price. Recommend!!
Michael Y
30/12/2024Had a quick dinner on 30th December before catching a train. I was after some proper hot food and not sandwiches. The owner greeted us with happiness even just before they're about to close. Good food in general really tasty, especially the lasagna. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. Happy to have visited! Thank you very much.
Ali Lashkari
03/12/2024The food was nice and the price was even better. The owners were very friendly.
Kishor S Babu
26/11/2024We had a lovely time at Bar Il Cenacolo! Although the menu is limited, the food and cocktails were both delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The owner was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. It's a cozy spot with a great atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxing evening out. Highly recommend for a nice time in Milan!
Chrys Chua
26/11/2024Delicious lasagne with its rich taste of cheese. Beef, zucchini and potatoes are just as flavorful. Did not expect such a great lunch at only $22euro inclusive of sparkling water!
Platon Yachmenov
22/11/2024Very delicious, highly recommend!
sn alcant
22/11/2024Authentic local bar and restaurant near the Last supper. Highly recommended as a regular customer here. There was a misunderstanding before but the owners are kind which means a lot . Definitely I will continue to recommend this establishment to the tourists I usually meet as its very near the Last Supper.
Sylvia Chen
19/11/2024Very friendly staff and introduce you every dish they have and it seems every dish just one and only in the show glass fridge(so get there earlier then you'll more choices), food and coffee is nice and affordable.

Kenneth Roqhuett
17/11/2024I was there two years ago and I forgot to leave a review. The kitchen was closed but the owner still prepared a delicious pasta for me and my wife. He and his wife were super nice. The food was great and the price was reasonable. Clearly it was an experience I could not forget after all this time. Thank you !!

03/10/2024Delicious food and reasonable price near The Last Supper👍🏻 It was our first meal of our Italy trip and after 10 days in Italy this meal was still one of the most memorable meals we had! We got the bolognese pasta €8, panini €5, cappuccino and orange juice. We were shocked at first to see the pasta was reheated and not cooked on spot, but somehow the pasta was really tasty which was unbelievable. The panini was great too especially the freshness and texture of the bread. This place is frequented by locals. It is a homey bistro that serves simple comfort food. I would have loved to come again if we had stayed Milan for longer. We visited this place before going to see The Last Supper. Food and drinks were served promptly and we finished the meal within 30 minutes. The owner looked a bit stern at first but after talking to him we found he was actually quite friendly and welcoming. We told him we were from Hong Kong and he said he knew Bruce Lee😂👍🏻
Carol Flor
21/09/2024Frozen food reheated. The waiter was nice and friendly. Simple place and good price. At least was quickly and we were able to eat something before visit Last Supper.
Bogdan Florea
08/09/2024I paid 9 Euros on a White Piadapizza. Guess what, it was a frozen pre-prepared pizza which came out of a plastic foil, and the owner added some more cheese on top... I do not recommend.

16/06/2026Wenn ich könnte würde ich null Sterne geben. Das ist mit Abstand das schlechteste Essen was ich jemals irgendwo gegessen habe. Die reinste Katastrophe.

07/06/2026Se você é turista, não vá a esse local. Fomos mal tratados nesse lugar e o atendente, de forma bem grosseira, deixou claro que não éramos bem vindos por lá.

29/03/2026Siamo entrati in questo bar per prendere uno Spritz da asporto, e purtroppo l’esperienza è stata davvero deludente. Ci è stato detto che lo preparavano senza problemi, ma quello che abbiamo ricevuto non ha nulla a che vedere con un vero Aperol Spritz. Innanzitutto, è stato servito in un minuscolo bicchiere di carta da caffè, assolutamente inadatto. Ma la cosa più assurda è la composizione: Aperol, acqua frizzante e… vino bianco fermo?! In Italia uno Spritz si fa con il prosecco, non con vino fermo. È davvero incomprensibile, soprattutto considerando che il personale era italiano. Il tutto per 7 euro a bicchiere. Decisamente non vale il prezzo e non lo consiglierei.
Bruno Albert
19/03/2026L’assiette préparée en vitrine est correcte, fraîche, la salle est authentique et calme. Les prix ne sont pas assassins . Les toilettes sont au sous-sol, suivez les empreintes de pieds vertes !
Alain GRIMANDI
17/03/2026Une cuisine italienne et un lieu où l'on ne côtoie que des italiens. C'est bon, le service est rapide et les prix sont justes. Une bonne adresse.

09/02/2026Panini con dentro mezza fetta di prosciutto, ambiente datato e personale super scortese e svogliato, sembra di farli fastidio ad andare a lasciarli i soldi. Dopo avere toccato prodotti x pulizia si è messo a fare i panini senza nemmeno essersi lavato le mani. Mai più posto da evitare

16/11/2025도시에 오전에 하는 식당이 거의 없어요. 다 12시이후 오픈... 맛은 그럭저럭. 가격은 유럽이 다 비싸니... 당연히 조리해주는 식당보다는 쌉니다만 조식을 못 챙겨먹었을때 , 식사를 오전에 해결해야하면 갈만합니다.

06/08/2025Tanie i smaczne jedzenie. Odgrzewane z mikrofali, ale to nie problem. Szybko dostarczone jedzenie. Łazienka w piwnicy, trochę przerażająca. Innych wad nie stwierdzam. Polecam na szybkie jedzenie.
Lola Álvarez
05/08/2025Comimos los tres tipos de lasaña que tienen y todas estaban exquisitas. Los dueños amables y rápidos. El local es pequeño pero es acogedor.
Julia
01/08/2025Leider eine unangenehme Erfahrung. Der Kellner wurde sehr unfreundlich, weil wir uns bei der Bestellung nicht verstanden haben. Die Besitzerin hat freundlich versucht zu vermitteln und hat uns Essen angeboten. Die Pasta war lecker, Panini dagegen enttäuschend, es war leider herzlos zubereitet. Am Ende sollte ein Espresso abgerechnet werden, der aber nie serviert wurde. Als wir das angesprochen haben, wurde es korrigiert, aber der Eindruck blieb. Für Touristen, die nicht perfekt sprechen, sollte Freundlichkeit Priorität haben. Leider nicht der Fall hier.

29/10/2024La mejor pasta Bolognese que hemos comido en nuestro viaje por Italia, llegamos tarde, encontramos éste lugar abierto, a pesar de que los platos estaban semi preparados, han sido lo mejor que comimos en cuanto a pasta, hemos estado en varios lugares y ninguno superó éste, el dueño muy amable y educado nos atendió muy bien, lo recomiendo 100%
