The food is horrible, overpriced and service is mediocre. I found a human hair in my porcini pasta dish and the shrimp in the salad we ordered was cold and overcooked and inedible. They charged us 4 euro a person for "cover charge" which is way too excessive. This is a very mediocre restaurant charging much too much and targetting tourists. The area is great for shopping but this restaurant was a real disappointment.

This is a typical, small Milanese restaurant in the Breara area, just off the pedestrian area in the Rue Fiore-Chardi. It was excellent! We started with the best bruchetta I've ever had - made with the freshest tomatos garlic and high quality olive oil. The salade misto (mixed salad) was also very good; it was filled with arugula, raddiccio and shredded carrots and was served basalmic vinegar and olive oil. I was very pleased with the mushroom ravioli with truffle cream, however my sister's gnocci with spinach and four cheese sauce was not as good as the gnocci we had eaten the previous evening. A small carafe of house red wine was enough to warm both of us up. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and had I been there with someone other than my sister, I might say romantic. Open on Sunday night! This is a plus as many restaurants are closed on Sundays.
