Guestbook
“ Come here and eat. Both pasta and pizza are excellent. Portions are huge and ingredients are generous. Order the Super Seafood linguine and you will find half a lobster on your plate. Enough to feed 2 per portion so beware. ”
“ Very impressive, clean and well lighted restaurant. Both sisters spoke English which is very helpful in Milan. Friendly and totally accommodating. Very intelligent menu, featured picture of some popular dishes, comes in both Italian and English language. Food portion value for money (there is a pizza priced at 5 euro) and taste good. Food preparation time was not long, considering the place was almost full for dinner. Felt a kind of family orientated dining experience, clearly felt by our group of 7 diners. ”
“ Absolutely amazing place! Food is delicious and service is great Friendly staff. Enough tables for group settings. We are tourists who don’t speak Italian but they were still very warm and friendly! No problem with the ordering for lunch. Went again at 7+pm, oysters were all out of stock. It was a disappointment. This time a younger lady took our orders and got majority of the orders wrong, but the more experienced staff came by to rectify the situation. Excellent service. Had a bit of the wait due to the mistake but overall a place my colleagues and I would revisit again definitely! ”
“ Restaurant opens closer to 7pm for dinner rather than the stated time on google maps. Food quality is decent for the price and service is also adequate. Portions are large and there’s also enough seating available in the restaurant so shouldn’t have any issues getting a table no matter what time you visit. ”
“ Came here on their opening hour, good seating arrangement that can accommodate large group of people. Was brought in promptly, given menu and generous serving of bread which was refilled when they saw us finishing. The staff was generally friendly with smile and tried to interact which we appreciated it a lot. Nothing beats friendly staff. They had quite an extensive menu with great variety of starter, pizzas and pasta. We ordered the, linguine super: generous portion of mussel, clam, squid and half a lobster. Great flavour and pasta was cooked to perfection. We ordered two, mine was a wetter version while my friend’s one was on the creamier side. The rest was spaghetti mar roso, carbonara, tagliolini gamberetti zucchini and fried calamari. The standard was able to maintain throughout all the main course and the portion was generous. Definitely value for money and will come back here if I had the chance. ”
