This place is Milan masterpiece. It’s so beautiful you will enjoy watching the great historical architecture of this mall. They have the best luxury designers boutiques and many restaurants and coffee shops

Definitely a beautiful spot to take pictures and visit some luxury stores. It's honestly a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It's just a walk through outdoor mall with a select number of stores and a few restaurants. Nice to walk through for a few minutes. Visit earlier in the morning if you want to get pictures without anyone in them!

Absolutely beautiful! Every store window makes you want to go in and shop! The architecture and overall beauty is breathtaking! We walked in and out of every section and were in awe with the magnificent structure. The amount of people was crazy! We happened to be there during fashion week and there were models dressed and taking photos everywhere! If you go to Milan you have to go to the Galleria!!!

The architecture is simply stunning and so beautiful. There are restaurants, clothing stores and much more. The place is very nice to take a picturesque view. Fashion starts from here so it is a must to see when in Milan

Not sure how to describe this place correctly. Shopping center with the most famous brands. Most people visit it just to take a look and make a photo. It makes sense to visit just to close point "to see the most famous shopping gallery in Europe". In general, nothing special. Nice stationary shop with a some unique souvenirs.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan is an architectural masterpiece. Its grandeur was palpable as I stroll under the soaring glass ceiling adorned with intricate designs. The luxury boutiques, cafes, and restaurants add to the allure, creating an unforgettable experience. Whether you're admiring the mosaic floors or marveling at the historic significance, this iconic landmark would never fail to impress you. A must-visit for anyone exploring Milan's rich culture and history!" I loved it!

A must visit if you are traveling to Milan. The high glass ceilings give the feeling of grandness unlike any other shopping complex. A magnificent structure with great restaurants and posh shops.

Truly an amazing building! Even if you're not into expensive brands or shopping, I'd still really recommend visiting here. It's incredibly beautifully decorated from the walls to the ceiling (:

I arrived in the evening that every store already all closed, but the galleria still amazing to visit and take photos. So beautifully and artistically designed! Enjoyed window shopping as well as each store has nice display though it’s closed. A must visit spot while in Milan!

Had an amazing dinner at Galleria, so good didn't even wait to start eating to take pictue. Did some window shopping didn't have long enough visit planned. Next time we have a better idea where ti spend the bulk of our time in Italy.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a masterpiece of architecture and shopping in Milan, Italy! Its stunning glass and iron structure create a breathtaking ambiance. Strolling through the gallery's luxurious boutiques, cafes, and restaurants is an elegant experience. The intricate mosaic floors are a visual treat, and the magnificent glass dome allows natural light to flood the space. It's a perfect blend of history and modernity, offering an unforgettable shopping and cultural journey. A must-visit destination for anyone exploring Milan's beauty and charm! ✨🛍️🍝

What a remarkably beautiful place – inside and out! Magnificent. An exquisite demonstration of unparalleled artistry and skill. The architecture, the murals and pretty much everything else. The attention to detail is simply wow-inspiring. Full of elegant shops and upscale dining establishments, the Galleria creates an ambiance of beauty while maintaining a luxurious price range. Standing in the middle and gazing up at the mesmerizing murals, each one depicting a different continent, is the pinnacle of this experience. Great vibes.

The building itself is gorgeous and mesmerizing. We had a good time walking around. It’s also fun to look around the luxury stores but other than that there isn’t much to do or look at. It’s also extremely crowded to the point that it gets difficult to walk.

This place screams of Luxury! Literally littered with the most expensive brands in the world. Crowded with locals and tourists alike, best visited early in the morning. Don't forget to step on the Bull's balls and spin 3 times for luck!

Iconic and historical place to visit when in Milan. Within reach by subway Duomo. Also trams are nearby. Plenty of highend designer brands and restaurants in this shopping area. Weekends and public holidays are super crowded.

The Vittorio Emanuele gallery is considered the oldest shopping gallery in Italy and is, without a doubt, absolutely stunning... The architecture, the shops, the coffehouses... Everything is a sight to behold. Well worth the visit. It is also a place with a large crowd of people, so if you want to see the place unobstructed, I recommend that you go very early in the morning.

This shopping mall has the old charm and sophistication. The floor, the roof and overall architecture of the building are stunning. Famous signature brands have shops here. This is a place for the rich. There are several restaurants here as well.

The most famous luxury shopping center in Milan. Most of the designer brands have a branch here. A unique experience like traveling into the history😍 Even at night looking more amazing

One of the prettiest malls in the world. If you are anywhere near the Milan area, it's worth the time to swing over to come experience this mall for yourself!

Amazing place with lots of food and shopping arenas. An evening hangout to remember. High end shopping plaza with wide variety of the services. Definitely recommend also the Duomo cathedral is adjacent to it another excellent place to visit.

Our family recently explored the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and the experience was nothing short of stunning. The architecture of the Galleria is awe-inspiring, with its elegant design and intricate detailing. Walking through the historic passageways, we felt transported to a bygone era of grandeur and sophistication. The kids were fascinated by the intricate mosaics, high glass ceilings, and the general sense of opulence that permeated the surroundings. However, for a family on a budget, the allure of the luxury shops and designer boutiques was bittersweet. While window shopping was enjoyable, the reality was that most of the items on display were way beyond our financial reach. It's essential for families to be aware that this is more of an experience destination than a budget-friendly shopping spot. On a positive note, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the Galleria is not just about shopping. We took a moment to enjoy a coffee in one of the historic cafes, soaking in the ambiance and people-watching, which added a pleasant touch to our visit. In summary, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a must-visit for its architectural marvel and historical significance. Families should approach it with the understanding that the shopping experience might be more aspirational than practical, but the overall ambiance and cultural richness make it a worthwhile stop, even if you're not planning to splurge on designer goods.

A very enlightening collection of Italian Renaissance paintings, from its early beginnings right into the dramatic Baroque. It might be a relatively small collection but you will still need a good two hours to truly enjoy the art.

The museum is worth a visit if you are into art. A lot of it is religiously themed however so take that into consideration. The building itself is very beautiful and nice to look around in. The upper floor is the museum consisting of around 32 rooms and the lower floor has facilities related to the art school. We spent around 2 hours in there although we did walk through the later part a bit quicker due to needing to be at the next museum in time.

Beautiful museum, the best i’ve been to in Milan! The courtyard is free entry, if you just want to have a look at the building and some of the statues, but there are many gorgeous art pieces to see inside. When we went, there were also 2 artists inside that were singing, which added to the overall great experience. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful place full of amazing paints and some sculptures, they show you the restoring process of some of the art. We where as a family (minors don’t pay + 2 adults x 11€ each). There’s a QR at the entrance to a chronological map of the museum. The Caravaggio is amazing but i personally preferred the Rubens “the last supper”. You can ask for a drawing kit at recepción to sketch though the museum, there’s also some drawing places to be inspired by the art in front of you and some paints have “fun facts” or so. If you an art lover, you must come.

They have some absolutely amazing paintings here. If you're interested in art, you should not miss this museum.

Surely one of the most captivating museums in Milan. Its purpose to engage with the public is what sets it apart, e.g. stations scattered around the halls for one to create their own interpretation of the art before them; information and quotes below each painting from other artists offering their point of views. A gorgeous variety of art on display, and also the rare possibility of watching an art piece being restored by a specialist live.

I fell in love with this pinacoteca. There are lots of magnificant paintings of various styles, yet dominantly of Renaissance art. It may take 2 hours to finish the tour; however, it depends on how long one takes to admire the beauty of art.

Scores of religious themed artworks. Some very impressive paintings. Buy your ticket before entering. No need to book ahead

A wonderful gallery of pictures. No need to book in advance. No queuing, tickets can be bought from a vending machine and paid for by credit card. Free multilingual exhibition guide for families. Some paintings are accompanied by interesting educational texts.

I was not in a gallery (will follow up on this next time), but even being outside is giving a flavour od this sanctuary of arts. Worth seeing even during a quick city walk as I did. Will be back for sure.

Amazing experience. The public gallery in a beautiful classical building. Great exposition and collection of the painting. The paintings were mostly religious themed. We bought tickets online, and entrance was without waiting.

Step into a world of art at Pinacoteca di Brera. The paintings tell amazing stories, and the calm atmosphere makes it easy to enjoy each one. Whether you're an art lover or just curious, it's a great place to explore and appreciate beautiful Italian art.

Definitely my top 3 in Milan! A must go museum if you are a renaissance fan!

The Pinacoteca di Brera is a beautiful and imposing gallery. I cannot speak as an expert in painting, as I am not. But I can say that it is a mandatory stop on a visit to Milan. The architecture of the building and the rooms, together with the works on display, give the entire experience a kind of "soul" that I don't know how to explain otherwise, but that definitely left an impression on me. An absolutely wonderful experience!!!

One of the best collections of artwork you will ever see, this collection is up there with the Uffizi art gallery. It has an absolutely incredible collection of paintings, statues, sculptures and jewelry. It’s also located in a very unique building with amazing architecture. I would definitely recommend checking out this museum.

Costs 15 eur per person. We booked in advance. The gallery is full of Middle Ages Christian paintings. It's easy to navigate.

Excellent art museum with a focus on the development of art in Italy. Plan a couple of hours for your visit. Discount pricing for seniors, students, teachers, and others.

Great, but not extensive, collection of paintings on the walls of Brera's palace. A walk from the Middle Age 'frescos' to the nineteenth century. Most of them are religious subjects because they were collected from the churches, including works of masters as Caravaggio, Tintoretto, Bellini brothers, and Mantegna. Remarkable is the Hayez's work The Kiss, for his sensitive as well for the patriotism in the times of the war of independence.

Wow! An amazing museum full of interesting pieces of medieval and Renaissance art especially from Northern Italy. The museum provides a unique view of art in storage and restoration of art pieces. If you are lucky as us, you can see the people repaining old artworks. Try to dedicate a few hours of time, however if don't have to much time, there is a free audio book with the top art works or the book Brera Eyes Wide Open - Thirty Unmissable Masterpieces, available in the bookshop that can help to see the most important pieces. Highly recommended!

Best Pinacoteca in Europe, better than the Louvre and the National Gallery. Huge collection of the best painters of the world. Don't miss it

The Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan is a magnificent showcase of European art, particularly strong in Italian paintings. The gallery, housed in a historic 17th-century building, offers a journey through centuries of artistic genius. Notable for its collection of Italian Renaissance art, it features masterpieces by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Tintoretto. Each room is thoughtfully curated, providing context and insight into the evolution of artistic styles. The ambiance is serene, ideal for contemplation. A must-visit for art enthusiasts, it offers a deep, enriching experience that captures the essence of Italy's rich artistic heritage.

Really nice museum. Well organised, beautiful building, great collection of works of Italian masters. Loved it!

Go and visit this beautiful church, please! The entry is free. If you want a tour, you can find a staff member right at the church and ask for the tickets. The inside area is very cozy, pretty, warm. Smells amazing.

The exterior of the basilica offers a magnificent view, especially with its towers, when viewed from afar. Upon entering the courtyard, you're greeted with a wonderful atmosphere. In this beautiful setting, the impact of the exterior's details, which may not be noticeable from a distance, is significant. Spending time in the courtyard examining these details was quite enjoyable. However, I was somewhat disappointed when I entered the interior. The beauty of the exterior doesn't seem to extend inside. I would describe the interior as rather ordinary. Nevertheless, I still recommend adding this basilica to your walking itinerary in Milan for its beautiful exterior and courtyard. It's worth a visit as you pass by.

In the way to Santa Maria delle Grazie to visit "the last supper" of Leonardo da Vinci we went there. No ticket was required. Recommended if you were around!

Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio is one of the most ancient churches in Milan and was built in 379–386 by Saint Ambrose. Initially, the basilica was outside the city of Milan, but over the following centuries, the city grew up around it. The entrance is free and definitely worth a visit.

So much knowledge and answers in this one space. Such a well maintained building! I am happy I chose to visit when I did, I ended up having an assignment on basilicas a few days later.

Stunning church and history. Don't miss. Has a wheelchair ramp for entry into the courtyard of the church, but it is accessed by a series of steps, so not ideal.

Beautiful place to visit while walking in Milan. Sit, cool down and reflect on life. After this reflection nip to the bar for a well deserved beer.

It is so peaceful here! And the architecture is just beautiful. It’s busy outside but as soon as you enter it’s so serene. I definitely recommend visiting here!

Beautiful basilica and has a long history too. You can appreciate the beauty of it for free as there are no entry charges.

Gorgeous church with incredible iconography. I enjoyed seeing everything in there. I would have taken more pictures, but I think it’s a malocchio to take pictures of the dead.

It’s free entry. Worth visiting for the one of the oldest Basilica in Milan. Seeing the crypt of St Ambrose.

Another Basilica, another beauty. All in their own way... Ancient, beautiful, amazing. Worth visiting if in Milano

It is certainly one of the best known churches in Milan. Externally I really liked the architect but internally I found it quite bare, it does not say all that much! Still worth a visit anyway because it is free of charge

Stunning archiecture. You can feel the wind od history there. Those skeletons on clothes are bit creepy, but worth seeing. Free entrance, but always worth to leave the change in boxes available inside.

Impressive basilica, definitely a must-see. However, please be aware that there is a break in visiting times over lunch (we were not aware of). If you don't know this, you might just walk past the basilica's closed doors and get lost on the grounds of the Catholic university :D

Building itself is visually interesting, but not original. However, there are several rather nice museums inside. I spent there about three interesting hours for 5 Eur, which is very good value. The biggest exhibit is one of the last Michelangelo statues, which is housed in its own exposition, but there is way more to see in the castle. Definitely recommended if you have some time to spent while visiting Milano.

The entrance to the castle itself is free, but to get to the museums you need a ticket which is 5€ full price and lets you visit all of the museums. They even have lockers which let you travel around the castle and the museum without carrying anything. Everything is nice and well kept, there are benches everywhere and the staff, even with their limited English, were trying to help as much as they could. The whole castle is too big to walk on one day, so we prioritized the things we went there for. If you want to visit everything, you should visit at least twice.

Absolutely gorgeous place! It's 100% worth it just for the outside parts. The complex is big, and the adjoining park offers a great relaxing spot and various drinks and foods to refresh you. Totally stunning for everyone, not just those interested in history! Also there are free toilets.

Beautiful castle. You can enjoy the great gathering here. The fountain is eye-catching. Lovely parko area. You can have a good weekend afternoon here as well as everyday anytime. Only if you want to visit the Museum you need a ticket. Otherwise the whole area is a public access of free

A very nice castle and museum. There are many rooms, everybody will find something to like. You need to count with exhibition which takes at least 3 hours so if you hurry, you should check only items you are interested in. There is also a beautiful view from the top. If you take a bag with you, you can store it in a locker located downstairs (1 euro deposit - will be returned after you input the key back). After exhibition you can find a good place for rest outside. This place is also magical in the evening.

This place is so stunning. I sat within the castle walls listening to live music from a stage that had been set up while sketching a picture. Truly a wonderful experience. Not going inside and instead walking around some of the most beautiful architecture I have ever seen will be free and well worth your time. There are also free toilets and a water refill on site which is a bonus.

Definitely the largest intact castle I have been to, the distance from moat to first scalable wall must be 40m, and an attacker would face an array of arrows and spears before they even navigated a ladder into position. That said, pay the 5€ for the entrance and the extra for the headset so you can learn about some of the more interesting paintings, tables and artifacts. (Stupidly, the put the headphone lady BEFORE the ticket purchase, so you have to circle back!) I never made it up the tower, but I can only imagine those views!

Very beautiful castle with a garden in the middle, we visited on a sunday and it wasn't busy at all. The castle is well maintained. There are no restaurants or shops inside the castle other than the info point, but there is a big garden outside the castle, I'll attach a pic of it. It is definitely a must visit place if you are in Milan.

Visited this castle whilst in Milan. It is in a great central location. It is free to enter and walk into, but if you want to walk around the inside of the castle and see the exhibits then that is €5 or you can get a student ticket. You are not allowed to take large bags around the exhibits either and cannot take videos, only pictures. This is nice to look around and you can also pay for a translator earpiece it you want to listen to the history. There are some people trying to sell you roses and bracelets etc on the inside so be aware of them

Beautiful castle with so many things to explore in and around it! You can pay extra to visit the museum where you can see some of the furniture music instruments, paintings and more. Alternatively, you can enjoy the park near the castle or appreciate the castle from the outside for free.

Very cool place to walk around. We didn’t go in any of the museums because we didn’t have too long but you could easily spend a whole day here! Otherwise it is free to walk around. On Saturdays there is a huge market on the outskirts of the castle with bags, food, mulled wine, lots of trinkets, cooking items etc! Highly recommend.

Sforzesco Castle itself is a sight to behold. We marvelled at its architecture and the historical significance of it. Inside, there are plenty of exhibits, from sculptures to drawings to furniture and many more. While some may enjoy this, I was fatigued after an hour into the never ending displays on different floors of the castle. Perhaps splitting the visit into several days might ease this fatigue. As the castle grounds are free to explore and is a tourist attraction, you will come across unscrupulous individuals who attempt to ‘welcome’ you to Milan by forcing bands or flowers on you. They will demand high payment in exchange. I am surprised that nothing is done by the staff of the castle regarding this. While it doesn’t detract from what the castle has to offer, this has definitely impacted our visit negatively as we navigated our ways away from these incidents. For those not into art and history, I would still recommend visiting for the architecture and for pictures as this is a tourist spot in Milan. However, you don’t have to purchase tickets to view the exhibits. Here are some images and videos of the exhibit. It only provides a glimpse into what the castle has to offer. For the complete experience, you should purchase the tickets and view the exhibit.

It's a castle with 6 museums inside it, all accessible for 3 euros (for students) or 5 euros. If you don't wanna go inside the museums, you can still check the place out, the fountain in front of it, and the big beautiful installations outside. However if you got time, the museus are really worth the visit. There is a Michelangelo sculpture, ancient arts and weapons, the musical instruments museum, an Egyptian museum, and a few others to check. The bad thing is that most of the exhibitions only have texts in Italian, no translation for English.

Lovely castle to walk around or chill at. I personally loved the garden in the middle of the castle where you could sit out in the shade and enjoy the surrounding views. The museums have mazing pieces. There were some real surprising pieces of art. I paid 2 or 3 euros to get into all 14 unique parts of the castle. There's art varying from paintings to furniture to cloths and musical instruments. Definitely would recommend anyone to spend a few hours here.

This castle is one of the most, if not the most, impressive and beautiful fortresses / castles I've been in. A real must seen! The size, built ornaments, towers, walls, ditch - all are great sights. And there are multiple museums inside... With the triumfh arch and beautiful garden near by, this can fill half a day of great sight seeing.

An amazing place, it's €5 to gain entry which I recommend. However just having a wander through the massive courtyards and taking in the picturesque building and surroundings is definitely worth the visit. It links the park and the way towards Duomo. Spectacular place.

Sforzesco Castle is a must visit when in Milano. The castle and park is free, and enjoyable any time of the year. Viewing the castle is breath-taking and be sure to pay attention to the remaining piece of the Milanese wall. During warmer months you can be lucky to spot turtles in the water, and keep an eye out for cats in the grassy moat. Bring lunch or a snack to relax in the green and forget the busy city for a moment.

Very nice medieval fortification that houses several of the city's museums & art collections. For the ticket price of only 6 euro you get the access to the entire complex, and it's totally worth it. We spent nearly 3 hours on this cultural & history learning experience and we didn't even see a half of the exhibition rooms. We'll definitely come back here on our next visit to Milan.

Sforzesco Castle is a truly breathtaking sight in the heart of Milan. Steeped in history and surrounded by beautiful grounds, this magnificent castle is a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. From the impressive architecture to the fascinating museums housed within its walls, there is so much to see and do here. The views from the top of the castle are simply stunning, offering a unique perspective of Milan. I highly recommend a visit to Sforzesco Castle - you won't be disappointed!

Fascinating, bums everywhere trying to dupe you into monetary gifts, just ignore them. The gardens and grounds are nice to walk through. Don’t eat the craft schnitzel…it’s low grade Vienna sausages.

I'd recommending getting an audio guide or booking a guide experience to get the most of the trip. The museums and huge and have lots of thins to see but you might feel like you are missing out if you don't have the extra experience of having a guide. We got there about 09:30am and it was perfect for getting pictures and moving around the outdoor bits but by 11:00 it was crowded so would recommend get there earlier.

Sforzesco Castle is absolutely gorgeous, oh my god, while visiting you can somehow see and feel how ages full of history are hosted by the amazing and strong walls. It's like a portal, you have to see it. Chill atmosphere, i was at the beginning of the week, people where enjoying the place, some tourists but not overly crowded. Come here in the working days in the morning and you'll feel like you got the whole place for yourself . A nice bonus are some cats that are really cute 😍

Amazing architecture! I spent less than an hour walking around and inside the walls but not inside the buildings because my shoes weren’t comfortable . But I’d recommend to spend more time tho because it’s really big and there is lots of places to see and walk in, out and around! It’s totally worth visiting if you are into architecture and history, just go prepared to walk a lot.

Beautiful castle in the middle of Milano. You can walk right through without buying a ticket or chose some exhibits or special sections, where you might need a ticket.

A truly wonderful place that is 30 minutes north of Duomo Cathedral and is a pleasant escape from the busy city centre. Filled with stunning religious tombs, monuments and mausoleums, you can spend hours walking through the cemetery. I really recommend this place if you are visiting Milan and remember to bring water when the weather is hot. Plenty of shaded areas too which is nice.

Do you like visiting cemeteries? Normally, cemeteries aren't on my list of places to visit, yet Milan's Monumental Cemetery breaks the mold, transforming a burial site into a spectacular open-air art museum. The Monumental Cemetery, an admission-free gem in Milan, was a serendipitous find I'm thankful for not overlooking. This no-cost experience was unexpectedly enriching.

Exemplary graveyard architecture. Take a walk here to get rid of your spirits and embrace the funeral atmosphere.

I stumbled upon this cemetery on my way to go shopping and I'm so glad I stopped. It's the most beautiful cemetery I've ever seen (though keep in mind, I'm American so the cemeteries I'm used to are not that impressive) and it's hard to express just how large the property is. There are so many beautiful monuments that it would take hours to see them all. It's very peaceful in the cemetery, so this is the perfect place to visit if you want to look at art and get away from the crowds. I found this description on one of the maps: "The scultures and buildings of the Monumental Cemetery allow us to experience the major events of the city's past, its artistic journey from realism and eclecticism of the late 19th century, through to art nouveau and symbolism of the early 20th century, and then on to the contemporary age, as if it were a real open air museum featuring all the major Italian artists." Hidden gem in Milan, and a must-visit. Highly recommend, especially since it's free!

As the name suggests, it is a monumental cemetery indeed. If you have time in Milan, I totally recommend visiting. So many beautiful artworks your jaw will drop.

I don't know why I liked this place so much, but it was very peaceful to walk around the cemetery looking at all the amazing graves and monuments. It felt almost like an art gallery more than a cemetery. Worth a visit when you are in Milan.

Visited this site September 2022. Visited the cemetery only after a fantastic tour--English Free Tour Milan sponsored by CITYWALKERS--with Marco, who brought this to our tour group's attention. His recommendation was, "If you really like architecture and sculpture...." and I knew I was adding a visit to my priorities. I spent the entire afternoon walking around, up and down rows and rows of mausoleums and monuments that were utterly stunning and beautiful. One can run around and test one's own knowledge of architectural periods, from Classical to Byzantine to Gothic to Baroque, etc. I highly recommend a visit for lovers of sculpture and architecture geeks. Make a visit to Cimitero Monumentale as high a priority as a visit to the Duomo.

The Monumental Cemetery is more than just a cemetery. It's a museum of sorts, filled with stunning sculptures and tombs of famous Italians. It's a place where art and history come a Together must visit !!.

Truly magnificent place. The resting place of numerous famous people, and home to an incredible collection of unique sculptures. The Jewish section is particularly beautiful, and underappreciated. Be quiet and considerate when visiting. This is not a playground, please show the appropriate respect.

Gorgeous cemetery, filled to the brim with things to look at INCLUDING CEMETERY CAT!! Plan to be there longer than you think, because it’s MASSIVE. The main ossuary was really impressive, site had good W.C. Amenities, LUSH restaurant called De Franco’s only a short walk away go there! Free to go to, in a lovely suburb as well

What a magnificent place - definitely one of the most interesting ones in Milan. The statues and the atmosphere of the place are chilling. The only bad thing was that it seemed to me there were cars everywhere, but I get it's probably necessary for the cemetery to function. Again, it's a must see! Free entry.

Impressive to see how cemetery can be full of art and if I may say 'life'. I didn't expect to like it but it was very artistic and expressive. Very unique place and a must visit when in Milan.

It's free attractions in Milan. It was very good. So huge you can spend 1-2 hours or more.

Interesting experience, same vibes as the vampire diaries. you can see different shapes of graves, place of cremation where ashes are kept. It's large, we spent an hour in there.

An amazing cemetery. Stunning monuments and tombs, visit also the tunnels with the indoor plaques. There is also a Jewish section , however it was closed.

Unbelievable atmosphere, calmness and countless works of art that made my chin drop. If you are planning a trip to Milan, skip one shopping mall and devote at least two hours to this place.

Fantastic! Is by far the best restaurant I have ever visited. The food is not just beautiful but also very well done, tasty and creative. There are many dishes that you should try! If you can, call before to reserve a table

Nice staff, they didn’t think I could afford the place and asked me to check the menu before entering. With a flood of tourists not paying attention I thought that was not a bad move. Besides the fact I turned out to be the main course for the mosquitoes, 12 bites in all, the food was ok. My main criticism would be: the soft egg should come with more spice, there was a tiny bit of salt in one part. Bread was dried out and should come with oil and above all: warm your plates! Food is cold in places before it is even served. Tagliatelle was very good but half of it was cold. Desert was excellent. Overall good experience but completely overpriced.

Downstairs one can eat from a Michelin starred chef without the formality of the proper Michelin restaurant. Food is amazing and not too complicated like some high end restaurants tend to do at certain levels. Location is as good as it gets in Milan. Highly recommended for lunch.

I tried only breakfast and few cakes They were so good They have a variety of brioche choices Staff very formal Obviously great location in Galleria Cold environment

Had a croissant with crema for breakfast and the cream was out of this world! Love the beautiful interior too.

A very pleasant place in the heart of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele 2. Ideal location for a quick bite, drink or coffee as it’s never too busy. Staff is courteous and food is very nice. My pizza was delicious.

Amazing location but they should train their waiters to be more polite. We were about to order food when the waiter already wanted to take away our glasses that were still half full. Who wants to eat in a place with this kind of service?

We had a lovely lunch here and despite the hype, the risotto Milanese really is the stuff of dreams. Interestingly, I had tried to make reservations here but was not able to. On a lark, we walked in and were immediately seated. The food was very good and satisfying and, as stated above, the saffron risotto is really the star here. We also tried the Cotoletta which delivered. A wonderful wine selection and astute service capped off the experience. My husband travels regularly to Milan for work and every time he goes, I tell him to bring me some of that risotto back. So far he has not, but I will not stop asking. It's that good.

Very bad value for money! When you spend that much you expect definitely more than what you get. The food is good…but not enough for a 2 Michelin stars restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing and service very nice.

$130! Very overpriced. Food bland. Slow service. Had a dietary allergy that got ignored even when requested. I would avoid this place at all cost.

The service of the waiters captain is rude. She don’t help to get more customers. I understand that dealing with tourist is not the best, but at 9:30 am in the morning?

Food's amazing. Very very long wine list. Atmosphere and service are a bit cold - typical of great restaurants but less my style.

The place is amazing, right in the Cracco is definitely a special dining experience! The ambiance inside the Galleria is stunning, and the food is creative and full of amazing flavors. The service could use some improvement, but it's still quite good. The best part about Cracco is that it's more than just a restaurant - it's also a bistro and pastry shop, open all day long, with separate event spaces. It's the perfect place to grab a bite to eat or relax with some dessert. Overall, I'd say it's a top-notch culinary experience. 👌

It gets full quickly, but food and desserts are great. Quite pricy, but you also pay for the location.

We had a fantastic dinner at the restaurant located at the first floor. The service has been excellent and the dishes has been prepared, served and explained in a very professional way. It has been a great and fantastic experience!! Thanks to the staff members and to the chef!!

Cracco is an amazing restaurant. Highly recommend eating here and having the full Milan experience. Very unique flavors

Amazing location near Duomo. Prices are high, but it is worth it to sit near brand shops and drink coffee. Iced cappuccino is the worst i have tried ever. Aperol spritz is awesome. Service is very low quality, staff is not smiling , they are a bit rude.

The place was very crowded. We ordered two coffees with a custard croissant and an 'Italian breakfast'. We picked a pistachio croissant included in our Italian breakfast which has never arrived. After 45 minutes we asked the waiter who said 'the chef just let me know that we ran out pistachio filling'. We then needed to go and get the pastry at the counter taking it to the table ourselves. We asked repeatedly for water. The food was good but not worth the troubles. There are plenty of good patisseries in Milan where we received far better treatment.

It is a joke my spaghetti a le vongole came w 5 small clams. I think this has to be the first time I was ever served this plate w 5 clams plus 2 loose clams. Hope the kitchen will correct soon. The crudi starter was excellent also the portion is tiny for the price of 40€. Fritto mixto was very good. Anyway, they have a good kitchen. The price is definitely inflation high. Btw, they need a different salt mill and toilet needs a facelift.

Everyone raves about this place, but I must say I found the food underwhelming. What you’re really paying for is the impeccable service and upscale ambience. I had high hopes for the red prawn tartare with mandarin sorbet, but the sorbet was too sweet and overpowered the delicate flavor of the raw shellfish (already naturally sweet). The linguine with lobster, while fresh, was also a bit monotonous. Not all was lost, however! My server recommended a Piedmontese chardonnay that tasted like a Meursault — the real discovery of the evening for me.

Good atmosphere, but the food was disappointing. We had the catch of the day. A fish plate that was honestly not worth the €120 price tag. The wine was good. Wouldn’t go there again to be honest.

Incredible service (we shared many plates and servers split it in advance perfectly). The food (especially the pasta dishes such as the seafood gnochetti) was amazing.

The lobster linguine was too al Dante / undercooked. Almost tasted raw, not sure if it’s meant to be like that. The turbot fish was rather pricey, €180 for one fish (1.5kg with bones + head) which was shared with 3 ppl ie €60 per person for the fish dish. It was good for sure but not sure if it’s worth the price. Service was good, all staff were friendly.

Fantastic place. Fresh food, amazingly prepared. Great variety of wines. Dessert trolley absolutely wonderful. Always going back whenever passing through the city: consistency over time is what we like best about Da Giacomo.

We didn’t even have dessert and here is why : I started coming to this restaurant almost 20 years ago every time I was in town for work. It was AMAZING every time, I even saw David Beckham here once when he was playing for AC Milan. I recognized all the waiters and the DAD was always cutting up their signature pizza hors-d'oeuvres. Today I came back after 5 years. The menu has changed and the food was…. Very disappointing. The pizza was dry and stale. The gnocchi that the waiter recommended was OVERCOOKED, my friend’s lobster linguini was UNDERCOOKED. EVERYTHING was too salty!!!!!!! They get one star because the raw seafood platter was good and the service was still very good.

Great place! Great food! You have to try tuna tartare, while it's the season. It is something else! Never thought tuna can taste like this. And guys, the BOMBA dessert!!!! It is indeed a food bomb in a good way :) we ate 2!!! But whatever you take is good anyway. Do highly recommend

Absolutely nothing to complain about. Attentive service, food cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was cosy and romantic. I had a quite late dinner around 8.30pm and just walked in. Free entree, small pizza slice was given complimentary. I really enjoyed the lobster pasta.

This is an upscale restaurant that is always on top lists for Milan. This is not without reason. The ambience is quite pleasant. The food is great and the service is very kind and professional. Take note that you can only reserve through phone.

This is an establishment when it comes to italian food, one of the oldest restaurants in Milan. Fantastic location with great lively atmosphere, food is delightful, service attentive and risotto to die for. It's worth a visit. Ps try their tiramisu. You won't regret it.

Managed to get a last minute table and so glad we did. It's on the pricier side, it ran to about 90euros each for 3 courses, wine and coffee but it was so worth it. The octopus parpadelle was incredible and the service was top notch. Only downside was being sat next to 2 Americans with no self awareness of their loudness.

Food: Superb! Flavour and texture are just nice. Seafood is fresh, Squid is tender, pastas are al dente. Service: well trained service staff, fast and knowledgeable to recommend the menu for u. Atmosphere: neat and bright. A hint of modernism in the traditional Italian style. Will I come back again? Definitely YES!

Great dining experience and great food. The service is a good balance of prim and friendly, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is “upscale” without being stuffy. For starter, we shared the snow crab, which was light and delicate. For main, I got the tortelli cacio e pepe with raw red shrimp, which was incredible — the cheese was strong and liquidy, giving the tortelli the feeling of a rich soup dumpling, and the red shrimp had amazing flavor. My husband got the gnocchetti with shrimp, calamari, and langoustine. The gnocchetti was pillowy, the seafood had good bite, and the sauce was very tasty and rich in flavor. For dessert, we shared a sachertorte, which wasn’t too sweet and had a nice subtle fruity flavor to balance out the chocolate.

Love the very traditional, classic Italian look and feel of the place. Excellent ambience. Food is great.

Lovely place to dine. We were 7 people, so had a chance to order several dishes, everyone was super happy with their food. Ive tried risotto, probably the best one ive ever tried (a bit salty for my taste but still). Also gnocchi and spaghetti alla vongole was 10/10. Tiramisu and bomba di giacomo was really tasty. Plus, they have a really wide wine list, we’d love what they’ve recommended. Atmosphere was also really nice, like a tipical old but cool italian place. Staff was nice, besides a waiter who spoke italian on purpose to my friend even though she said that she doesn’t speak (reason for 4/5). But other than this incident, all of the staff was super helpful and nice. Would recommend!

This is a great place. The food is DELICIOUS!!! Visiting Milan from NY has been such a great experience, but to end my trip my uber driver recommended me this place, and thank the Lord. We were a group of 4 and order Lobster pasta with linguine, it was a lot of food and it was delicious. Don’t leave Milan without coming here . Thanks for great service

The food was excellent, and I expected no less. Only the lamb ragú we had was a little over salted, so that came as a bit of a disappointment. Bone marrow risotto and desserts were enjoyable. Overall recommended!

This place was very enjoyable especially since its located next to an amazing kids playground. Since we had our kids with us they really enjoyed playing on the playground while we waited for food. The food tasted great. The Caesar salad was not caesar at all, but still good. Its more on the pricy side, but experience is really good. The wood is very good but I would not say it was amazing. Location and experience is great though.

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in Italy, a must if you are visiting Milan. The risotto is delicious, and the ravioli with black cherry is one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in my life. So incredible. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will make an effort to come back if we are ever again in Milan.

Beautiful food in a lovely setting. We ate inside but tables outside looked good too. Very hot the night we went. Food is intelligently prepared and served. Extensive menu but very well thought out. Highly recommended. Photos show gazpacho, stuffed pumpkin flower, risotto milanese with ossobuco, trout with vegetables, peach with chocolate and amaretto and peach sorbet. Lovely!

The service here was fantastic, really attentive staff without being overbearing. The tables are located quite close together impacting upon the atmosphere given the table next to us was having a loud conversation. The food was good! We particularly enjoyed the starter/while you wait dish carrot hummus as pictured.

Food was great. We had the bone marrow risotto and it was delicious. They have a nice wine selection and the service very cool and friendly.

Beautiful 5 course tasting dinner, we were very impressed by the 3 wine pairings, they really suited the food. Everything was cooked on point and the taste was elaborated without nonsense. I really liked the interior design of the restaurant, and the terrace, whilst in Milan center, felt secluded and private. Thanks for the hospitality!

Overall a somewhat disappointing experience, especially given the price. Environment: 5 stars - we sat in the garden, and it was lovely. Food: 2 stars - food was pretty underwhelming (especially for the price point). Every dish we had was fairly one-dimensional. All dishes comprised of one dominant flavor that overpowered everything, and very few other flavors to help balance. Service: 4 stars - everyone was very pleasant, but they kept forgetting about us (e.g. the wine we ordered, the coffee we ordered, etc).

I loved it, but it might not be for everyone. I went new & old, the summer tagliatelle (New) and the risotto with bone marrow (old). The summer tagliatelle was served cold, was extremely refreshing and a very different twist on a pasta dish. I really enjoyed it, especially as it had a hint of Asian influence (Top tip, order the meat ball appetizer, and dip them in the sauce). The saffron risotto with the bone marrow was DELICIOUS ! BUT, it was VERY, VERY RICH. I wish I had eaten less before this course. The service was perfect, always around when needed, but never overly present. Tell your server what you'd like, and let them help you navigate the options. PS : The Spritz HUGO is a great way to start the evening, if you like elderberry. Prices are in line with the quality of food and service.

The service was excellent. The restaurant kindly created a full vegan tasting menu for me, as I was joined by two friends (non-vegan) who were having the tasting menu. The food and the service was well worth the price. Thank you to the staff who made this wonderful experience possible!

Nice italian restaurant with a twist. The ossobuco risotto was the highlight. Tartare fassona was also not bad but overpriced. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Restaurant building is very cool. In conclusion Ratana is slightly overhyped, very nice to try but would not go twice. Make sure to book as it’s usually full.

Spent our last night in Milano with dinner at Ratanà. What an experience, definitely one of the best meals we had in our time here. Awesome old building, very cool vibe inside and outdoor seating. The risotto was unreal and you can never go wrong with mortadella! All the staff were very nice and accommodating as well. Definitely check it out if you're staying in Milano, reservations definitely recommend.

We had an amazing lunch here! We did the tasting menu and it was incredible. The restaurant has a casual vibe, and our super nice waiter made the experience perfect.

This restaurant had the best dishes we ate our entire trip. It’s situated beside a playground and feels like a real neighbourhood gem. The crudo, Milanese risotto (saffron, with bone marrow) and the fig ravioli along with the gnocchi with black truffle were highlights. The waiter recommended a local red wine to pair perfectly. Don’t second guess and just make a reservation (Easy to access by metro).

An amazing experience all around. Easily a Michelin 1 Star restaurant but personally I hate the guide so I’m glad it isn’t. Food was top notch, service was excellent (especially for English speakers), and the wine list is unreal, coming from the USA I was blown away at how reasonable the prices were. Couldn’t believe we had a bottle of wine and four dishes for less than 200 bucks that’s unheard of in the USA. Thank you to all of the chefs and staff in the back for an excellent meal.

everything was so good. the bread, the olive oil, the vegetables in the salad were some of the freshest i’ve had, and the risotto was just packed with refinement. wish i went many more times during my visit

My wife and I ate here last month on our trip around north Italy and it was probably in our top 3 meals and we ate at a few Michelin star restaurants. We both got the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. All the courses were perfectly prepared and very tasty. The wine pairings did a great job complimenting the courses. The classic Milanese saffron risotto and bone marrow was absolutely delicious though surprisingly the seasoned encrusted mushroom stole the show. It was amazing with the cheese sauce and lettuce. The "BBQ" chicken was the only course that was uninspiring, the chicken was dry but honestly the other courses and wine definitely made up for it. The service was also great and the waiter was very knowledgeable about the various wines that were served. If we are ever in Milan again we will be back. We definitely recommend this place, though make reservations as this is a popular place.

So, let me start by saying that I was so excited about this place after the reviews I read and seeing it on the Stanley Tucci Italy show. That may be the problem. If we had no expectations, it would have been a pretty good meal. The service was great. Atmosphere nice. The food was beautiful but overall just tasted fine. Not sure why, but apart from the salted grapefuit sorbet, the tasting menu lacked any distinct taste. We may have ordered wrong or caught them in an off night, but with all the hype, we were a bit underwhelmed. 😏

Very nice atmosphere with a limited amount of tables and lovely staff. The food is definitely showing quality but I could give it a 4 because it was not extraordinary as I expected. The white truffle pasta was by far the best dish they served.

The overall experience was very good and loved the vibes, however the food was a little bit too salty! We’ve ordered the Milanese meatballs and veal tongue pastrami focaccia as starters and those were delicious so highly recommended. For the main we had the pumpkin risotto and mountain trout. There’s lots of spices in the risotto, as well as “coffee”, this is an interesting ingredient being used in a main course, and we couldn’t finish this dish because it too salty. The trout was absolutely delicious and a love the baby onions too, so sweet and tender! We had the pannacotta as dessert and it’s so creamy and rich, goes so well with the sorbet.

Such a delightful experience with an extremely high level of cooking. The whole place is beautifully designed, with the decor and even the outside seating being a gorgeous setting, with plants and shelves upon shelves of books and picture’s everywhere, creating a lovely atmosphere. We didn’t eat until 9pm when it was dark outside, but under the lights out the front it was rather romantic. We ordered a lot of food, by mistake really but I can hardly complain after eating it, so just note that pretty much everything is the size of a main course bar the starters and snacks - I think the first course and second course amongst other headings threw our English minds off after hearing about a tasting menu too, assuming a few courses was normal. Be warned, we almost popped haha. Despite being very very full, very full, everything was still delicious which says a lot. We had the cod tacos to start, very interesting with a mousse like consistency, and the traditional meatballs. The pastas were the highlight of the meal, truffle anchovies and a fishy spaghetti both amazing, very rich and creamy. And finally the Milanese risotto lived up to the hype, as well as the steak tartare which was massive but so delicate and light at the same time. Fantastic really, just a shame we couldn’t find room for pudding! The servers were lovely and charming and gave some tasty recommendations, thanks guys! It isn’t cheap, but it’s a good level of cooking at a high but attainable price to make for an awesome occasion meal.

In my opinion a 4 for this restaurant suitable as it was truly exceptional however did not fulfill my expectations. The quality of the food is a no doubt as the thought force that is behind the creation is well noticeable. The staff was kind and positive. However, despite being a 2-Star Michelin restaurant I did not get the “Wow” effect when I was eating, it did not feel or taste like an extraordinary experience. I have been to many gourmet restaurants with different ratings and I believe this was somewhat the same or maybe a little better than the others but I definitely think that the price for what you get is quite expensive. So the only reason I am giving maximum a 4 is because everything was perfect but the price and service is a mismatch in my opinion.

Really sophisticated yet relaxed space for dining. Quite enjoyed the design of the restaurant. The food was world-class! The service was the highest you can possibly expect. Well done! Thank you for a great night.

Impressive food, good service, some great wines. The dishes we had, tasting menu, were precisely executed, visually beautiful and tasted very good. I did not see a difference between several one star restaurants and this... I don't remember a dish I went truly wow. The wines were excellent, though selected by or in-group sommelier rather than initiated by the restaurant. To their credit the selection in vineyards and years available was strong...as long as you're looking for Italian wines. The service was attentive though not specially so. There were several times we had to work to get anyone's attention. Three ambience was relaxed but setting a tad tired, more 90s understated chic than 2020s arty chic. Overall I'd recommend if you're in the area.

Mixed views about this place. The location wasn’t that pleasant and no nice view - even the window blinds were closed. Decor was a bit dull and grey. Service was somewhat low level on occasions but at the same time the staff were very pleasant. Price was higher than other Michelin star restaurants I’ve visited in Italy. Very presumptuous that the man was paying, I mean you gave the man a menu with prices and the woman a menu without prices. This is the first time I’ve ever seen such thing being done. Variety of fellow diners was good to see. Bathroom was great. Many aspects of the restaurant were great too, and made better by the attentive staff. As non alcohol drinkers and one not eating meat, they accommodated us very well, making changes accordingly. Most of the food was delicious, some better than others as one can expect, and I enjoyed the evening a lot. Would I go back….not likely

Came back to my favourite restaurant in Milano after 7 years And the restaurant is just reached 60 anniversary in 2022 Tried the tasting menu of Territori and had several highlights Love most the eel which is big surprise, since I was never fans of any kind of eel. But this Eel of Po River with soft baked 'tarallo', wild fennel from Val d'Orcia and olives is just full of delight, especially the texture, was never encountered any similar level Also enjoyed the 'purple' shrimps from Polignano with Chickpeas from Murge, cardoncelli mushrooms and tomato preserves foam Dessert the 'La cartellata' also full of layers Definitely will come back when again in Milan

Wow. We arrived at 7p for our reservation for three. Our daughter was not up for a full tasting menu, so GM Nicola prepared a special short menu for her, while my wife and I enjoyed the full Summer Journeys menu. The 2008 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne was rich and full, and the 2000 Giacomo Conterno Barolo was still so young but a beautiful match with the food. We asked for an accelerated pace as we had been traveling on buses, trains and taxis for 8 hours, and the team executed with grace and precision. So lovely.

Historical restaurant of Milano. Despite 60 years of cuisine, the dishes are very creative and you can still feel the passion. There is a important research in the ingredients, which you'll taste. The personnel is nice and the location is smart.

This is absolutely my favorite 2 Michelin stars in Milan. Iconic, historic and contemporary at the same time with a great heritage in the hands of the chefs. The wonderful tasting and the a la carte offers a complete travel into Italian regions in a contemporary cuisine style. The dining room is very nice and minimalistic. The team of waiters and the service just outstanding, I never catch anything wrong. Literally super trained professionals of high standard and skilled. I totally recommend you to dine here because you won’t easily forget it! Attaching photos of my last dinner at aimo e Nadia , hopefully I’ll be back soon.

We went there for dinner before Xmas 2021. Overall experience is just ok. Food shows chefs’ techniques, it goes without saying. We did enjoy the food👍 However, the location and place isn’t amazed me, and the bread always came late when I already finished my dish 🤦‍♀️ I even asked them why the bread can’t come together ? They told me oh they have different bread 😅 Anyways, I would only rate as 3 starts for this 2 starts Michelin for the location and the saving bread time.

Perfect experience from start to finish. Every course was delicious, service was impeccable, and the ambience was elegant and understated. Well deserving of the 2 Michelin stars. Very impressive!

Phenomenal meal, especially the lobster brain risotto. Super well executed. Amazing service. The only surprise was that they offered two glasses of sparkling wine to celebrate our anniversary, which was a surprise €70 additional cost - given that champagne service is complementary in many Michelin star restaurants or at least they indicate that its an added cost, I felt like there could have been better communication.

Atmosphere was fancy and beautiful, food was good, you must come dressed a certain way if not you’ll get a couple glares… waiters always smiled but looked annoyed. Overall, this place is OK.

It's a place my husband likes and recommends. I was satisfied with the course meal. I liked the oriental style that wasn't too much. I was touched by the delicacy of each food.The staff's response was perfect, I'll look for it again.

impromptu lunch on our first day in milan. great service nice food nice atmosphere. the lunch set may be only 3 course but it’s definitely filling when u take into account the pre-appetisers palate cleanser petit fours etc. worth a try!

A phenomenal meal. We did the chef course menu with wine pairing and every single thing was amazing. One of our friends was also vegan and they were able to accommodate him and he absolutely loved everything. Service was also impeccable.

Celebrating last night in Milano with family. Chose the degustation menu in a very exclusive setting. The food was premium with partial substance. Food served over 3 hours. The servicing team was friendly but mechanical. The ‘surprises’ between dishes were perplex that adds volume not taste. There were some high lights (e.g. foi gras with eel and risotto were tasty and pretty ) Overall experience was too long and missing some memorable essentials. The credit card machine broke down and showing rejection (due to lack of signal) at the end of a very expensive meal. A huge faux pas that killed the mood.

The chef offers creative dishes, perfectly made using French techniques of cooking but with his imagination. Every dish is tasty, balanced and exquisite. The personnel is very nice and welcoming. The place is elegant as it is inside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

I was in Milan for the Monza Grand Prix & had some guests joining so wanted to make sure we try Milan’s top kitchens! Seta at The Mandarin Oriental came across as one of the best & it truly didn’t disappoint! The outdoor garden was beautiful, the service was top-notch, the staff knew exactly what they’re talking about & how to service & most importantly the FOOD! Excellent starter tasting menu followed by possibly one of the best pastas & chicken dishes I have ever had in my life! The drinks & desserts were equally on point! By the end of the night we almost didn’t want to leave after spending nearly 2 hours there! A place to come back to indeed! And, if you’re a proper sophisticated food lover then this is your heaven!

Took the Chef's table with 2 Michelin Star Chef Antonio Giuda, what an experience it was sitting in the kitchen and being looked after by the Chef himself. They offered us the wines that paired perfectly with every course. A spectacular diverse flavours and ingredients. From veal, to swordfish, caviar. Each dish was a piece of art. Probably one of the best meals I've had. Service was top notch, with all personnel being super friendly and accommodating, from the chefs to the waiters etc

Great food and great experience, with only one perplexity. Food quality and dishes’ complexity are truly whole next level. I picked the signature menù “Seta” and I didn’t regret the choice at all. The two Michelin’s stats are highly deserved for each course and the attention to details. Personally, I found really amazing the raspberry rice, but there were many great dishes such as foie gras with eel or cooked oysters. The only dish that didn’t really surprised me, maybe for the high expectations on the raw ingredient, was the one with the blue lobster that I found a bit too light in taste and texture. Besides this, it has definitely been an exciting journey. The only part where I don’t feel like giving the 5 stars was the service. Let’s be clear, the staff has been amazing and very kind, I also had a long talk with the sommelier and even few minutes with the chef. The issue (or better the bitter feeling) came out at the very end: while being welcomed at the beginning I accepted a glass of Prosecco that only while paying I discovered being priced at 40€ per person. Now, it’s not about the cost (especially considering the budget for this kind of dinner) but more about getting what you pay for. In two people it’s already 80€ and with a bit more i might have preferred to get an entire bottle instead of two glasses. I think that the lack of transparency of this specific phase was definitely a miss. It’s a pity because aside of this event it has been the best dining experience I have had in my life so far.

We haven’t really had the chance to try local traditional Italian food in Milan "yet" .🤷🏻‍♀️ Our first day was a memorable lunch at 2 michelin-starred restaurant Seta at Mandarin Oriental. It was great, lots of complimentary amuse bouche which, made sense in preparing us for the main lunch. Service was excellent, however, we came in around 2ish and by 3:30ish, the restaurant was empty, including our original servers. Everyone dissappeared after the cheese course without saying anything to us (which usually most fine dine place would do especially our main server going for a break). So we just find that the journey dining at Seta was somewhat incomplete. Overall Chef Antonio Guida did an magnificent job in creating each plate, not only was his presentation was like piece of art but it was delicate and savoury. Again, it made sense. Many chefs tried so hard to make their own cooking "fusion" but being overly creative can make their customers tastebuds into the journey of “confusion”. 😂🤣 Luckily, that wasn’t the case here with Chef Antonio Guida. Since we're not a big adventurers on set menu, we have opted for ala carte total of 4 courses without dessert as we know at the end there will be generous sweet treat on the house. 😋❤️

A nice experience. I got the vegetarian course to try, and everything was amazing. The chocolate dessert was the best
