We got into this restaurant for a glass of red on a cold rainy day and found it so warm and cosy, so we stayed for a bottle of wine and a dinner. Waiters were very friendly and attentive, we enjoyed the service very much. The atmosphere is amazing, place is small, cosy and feels like home. We had a bottle of Nero d’Avola which was superb and we really enjoyed the bowl of mussels for the starter. Our mains were not that impressive unfortunately, the produce looked fresh, but didn’t taste as delicious as we expected. But still have a great memory from visiting this restaurant, thank you.
Best Italian in SPB without any doubt! Delicious food, warm and calm mood and best choice of wine. Owner Marco gives you happy time and atmosphere, highly recommend!!!
Il Milanese always leaves a great impression on me. The service is impeccable and the food hearty and tasty. It touches the soul. It's as close to Italy as you can get without actually travelling there. The bruschette novara, the gnocchi, the cannoli for desert... each of them an experience of their own. I recommend visiting and trying for yourself. You will always look good, no matter who you bring here, and you won't leave dissatisfied.
Amazing experience, friendly staff, authentic Italian cucine, very elegant and cosy place to have lunch and dinner. I suggest the Beef tartare and the Tuna with pistacchio, and finally the cannolo, which is freshly filled with ricotta.
