The Synopsis
The place in brief
“Osteria Da Fortunata in Brera is renowned for its fresh, handmade pasta prepared in open view, which attracts many tourists and locals alike. Although many customers praise the authenticity of the Roman flavors and the friendliness of some staff members, the experience is often influenced by long queues and service that can sometimes feel rushed or rude. Food quality receives mixed reviews, making the overall experience a blend between an excellent culinary discovery and a restaurant perceived by some as overly touristy.”

07/06/2026Had to queue for 25mins but it went very fast. Service was fast and very friendly, our waiter Russo was great and very attentive! Had the Gnocchi Sorrentina and Cacio e Pepe, both were lovely and the Gnocchi was just the right amount. Also had the Tiramisu, it had no alcohol and was so light and perfect for non-coffee lovers. Allergens are all listed so good for those with dietary restrictions/vegetarian.

06/06/2026An incredible experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding — exactly what you hope for when dining in Italy — and the atmosphere made it even better. Our waiter Russo was the highlight. Professional, warm, and genuinely fast without ever making us feel rushed. He even spoke to us in German, having lived there himself — such a thoughtful and personal touch that we truly appreciated. Thank you Russo and the whole team. We’ll absolutely be back.

31/05/2026The food is at most mediocre, the service is really bad, they keep lines of people outside though they have empty tableta and the athmosphere is very tensioned

Έλενα Τσαμουρά
08/06/2026Πολύ δημοφιλές μαγαζί με αρκετή αναμονή στην είσοδο, αλλά άξιζε! Η καρμπονάρα ήταν εξαιρετική και η ζωντανή παρασκευή των ζυμαρικών έκανε την εμπειρία ακόμα πιο όμορφη. Η εξυπηρέτηση ήταν καλή παρά τον πολύ κόσμο και το τιραμισού στο τέλος ήταν υπέροχο. Το μόνο αρνητικό ήταν η τουαλέτα. Υπήρχε μόνο μια κοινή τουαλέτα για άντρες και γυναίκες με μεγάλη αναμονή και δυστυχώς η καθαριότητα ήταν πολύ κακή, κάτι που μου χάλασε την εμπειρία. Κατά τα άλλα, έμεινα πολύ ευχαριστημένη.

07/06/2026Da quando mi sono trasferito a Milano per gli studi, Osteria da Fortunata è diventata uno dei miei posti del cuore. Ci vengo così spesso che ormai i camerieri mi riconoscono appena entro, e questa è una cosa che apprezzo tantissimo in una città grande come Milano. Un grazie particolare a Russo, che nonostante il locale sia sempre pieno e il ritmo di lavoro sia frenetico, trova sempre il tempo per una battuta, un sorriso o due chiacchiere. Sono piccoli gesti che fanno sentire un cliente benvenuto e che mi fanno tornare ancora più volentieri. Il cibo poi è semplicemente fantastico: la pasta fresca è davvero di altissimo livello e ogni volta che porto qualcuno qui faccio sempre un’ottima figura. So che qualcuno potrebbe pensare che sia il classico posto turistico visto il successo che ha, ma sinceramente non sono d’accordo. Se continuo a tornarci più volte a settimana da quando vivo a Milano, un motivo c’è: si mangia benissimo, l’atmosfera è piacevole e il personale riesce a farti sentire quasi come a casa. Consigliatissimo.

07/06/2026Makaron najlepszy jaki jadłam we Włoszech. Problem pojawia się przy obsłudze. Pani pomyliła napoje, po zwróceniu uwagi, że zamawialiśmy coś innego, napoje zostały wymienione ale sposób w jaki kelnerka zaczęła nas traktować był niesmaczny. Byliśmy dla Pani dosłownie powietrzem, nie otrzymaliśmy przystawki którą zamawialiśmy i została doliczona do rachunku. Przy prośba o podsumowanie i rachunek, zabrała talerze i odeszła bez słowa po czym wręczała numerki do rachunku innym stolikom. Po mojej interwencji z naciskiem na numer do płatności , z wielką łaską i nerwami napisała numer na środku stolika. Wrócę do restauracji ale na pewno nie w tym punkcie.

02/06/2026Se l'Italia è "pasta e pizza", questo è il luogo ideale per mangiarla fresca, fatta a mano e declinata in ogni sua variante. Per la scelta del primo e del dolce ci siamo lasciati guidare dal Sig. Russo (veloce e premuroso). Tiramisù strepitoso.

02/06/2026Saßen in einer dunklen Ecke in der es gestunken hat. Leider hat man da keine Auswahl wo man sitzen will. Dazu wurde coperto von 3€ berechnet, ohne dass wir (wie andere Tische) Brot etc. bekommen haben. Insgesamt etwas overhyped. Gibt deutlich bessere pasta Läden wo man nicht Schlange stehen muss.

Hanieh Sharifi
31/05/2026È senza dubbio uno dei miei ristoranti preferiti a Milano e un posto che continuo a frequentare con grande piacere. Ci vado circa tre volte al mese e, proprio per questo, credo di poter esprimere un giudizio basato su numerose esperienze e non su una singola visita. La qualità del cibo è sempre eccellente. Gli ingredienti sono freschi, i piatti sono preparati con grande cura e ogni volta si percepisce attenzione ai dettagli, sia nei sapori che nella presentazione. È raro trovare un locale che riesca a mantenere uno standard così alto nel tempo, ma qui la qualità è sempre una certezza. Ciò che però rende questo ristorante davvero speciale è il personale. In tutte le volte che sono stato qui, non ho mai avuto un'esperienza negativa. Al contrario, sono sempre stato accolto con gentilezza, professionalità e un sorriso sincero. Lo staff è attento, disponibile e capace di far sentire ogni cliente benvenuto. Anche nei momenti di maggiore affluenza, quando il locale è particolarmente pieno, il servizio rimane efficiente e cordiale, senza mai perdere qualità. L'atmosfera è altrettanto piacevole: il locale è curato, accogliente e perfetto sia per una cena rilassata che per un'occasione speciale. È uno di quei posti in cui ci si sente a proprio agio fin dal primo momento e da cui si esce sempre soddisfatti. Complimenti a tutto il team per la passione, la dedizione e l'attenzione che mettono ogni giorno nel loro lavoro. Continuate così, perché state offrendo un'esperienza che oggi è sempre più difficile trovare. Assolutamente consigliato.
