13/06/2026Buoni i cocktail, prezzo in linea con la zona ma il camieriere con il bracciale a palline marroni con la croce è un gran maleducato. Volevo cambiare scelta dopo aver chiesto un americano e mi ha risposto “comanda mandata, non puoi” letteralmente detto in 3 secondi poi arriva dopo 10 minuti e ci fa “sono 24€” boh… neanche un “ragazzi vi chiedo di pagare ora, sono 24€”. Peccato davvero perché il posto merita ma lui è stato strafottente davvero.

09/06/2026Το μπαρ καφέ Brera είναι φανταστικό . Όλα νόστιμα , με φρέσκα υλικά και κυρίως με το χαμόγελο στα χείλη . Οι τιμές πολύ προσιτές !! Για 2 μπύρες και μια πίτσα Νάπολη δώσαμε γύρω στα 20 ευρώ .

07/06/2026El mejor sitio para hacer el “aperitivo de Milán”: con tu cóctel (un excelente negroni) te sirven un rico surtido de tapas. Un mal entendido entre el camarero y yo, se resolvió de la mejor forma posible, totalmente profesional y sabiendo buscar una solución. El día anterior nos atendió otra gran profesional (hablando en un perfecto español).
