Maryam Qistina Abdullah
12/06/2026I had a wonderful dining experience here. The Tajarin Tartufo was absolutely divine, and the Tiramisu Serafina was a lovely conclusion to the meal. The entire staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, but a special mention must go to Caterina. She attended to me so beautifully that it felt like a bespoke, personalized service.

Can Kayhanlı
11/06/2026Our pasta was prepared in front of us in a cheese wheel. And the waiter put on gloves to shave and serve the truffle on the pasta. We were excited and happy during the experience. The food smelled, tasted, and looked delicious. Although the quality is definitely less then the top restaurants in milan we were happy for what we got. The prices were definitely higher than what we think they should have all things considered. It says on the menu that you should order at least 2 courses per person it is not practiced so don't worry about that. Still expect to pay around 60 euros per person for a full dinner.
Derin Çetin
11/06/2026We had the truffle mushroom Gricia served in a Parmesan wheel, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff member who prepared and tossed the pasta was incredibly kind and friendly. The food and service were both excellent. The only downside is that it’s quite expensive, so I’d recommend going if you have a decent budget. Overall, we were very satisfied with both the food and the service. :)

10/06/2026Ristorante accogliente e caratteristico, bella la cucina a vista e gli ambienti. Molto buono il pane I piatti cucinati bene ma troppo cari rispetto alle dosi portate ho pagato 10€ 4 asparagi grigliati ( per altro sul menù li avevo visti a 9€ ma potrei aver male interpretato) anche la tagliata x 29€ mi aspettavo più carne nel piatto. Non ci tornerei per via del conto.

25/05/2026Mon compagnon avait commandé une entrée qui contenait du porc par erreur alors qu’il n’en mange pas. L’équipe s’est montrée compréhensive et a changé de plat mais ce serait plus simple de l’ecrire directement sur le menu pour les anglophones. Autrement nous avions passé une bonne soirée.

25/05/2026Una scoperta davvero fantastica! Sono stato in questo nuovo locale e l'esperienza è stata eccellente. L'ambiente è curato, con un'atmosfera accogliente e moderna. Il personale è disponibile. Abbiamo provato i loro affettati e formaggi , ed erano tutti squisiti, realizzati con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Abbiamo anche provano i loro vini e le loro birre artigianali, SPAZIALI, (consiglio la birra ipa al Mango). Ottimo anche il rapporto qualità/prezzo. Faccio i miei complimenti a tutto lo staff. Non vedo l'ora di tornarci!"
