We ate here two nights in a row, mostly for its convenience and it's name (Limone just rolls off the tongue). The non-smoking seating area was rather cramped and the waitress kept bumping into my bag when squeezing past to get to another table. It was cramped yet cozy. Simple decor with the entre buffy and fruits dessert being the first things you see. It was full on both nights so we were 'smart' and ate early the second night.

The menu is available in English and was my first encounter with what seemed like a restaurant for Hobbits--you know, firsties, secondies, etc. It seems Italians can consume quite a great deal in one sitting, or at least have the option to do so with a choice of starters, three different main meal categories, and dessert. We refrained the first night.

My first Milanese meal being the Costoletta alla Milanese (veal cutlet, Milan style). A bit dry and chewy but a new experience--it helps to make good use of the lemon on the side. My husband enjoyed a rather bland looking Risotto all Milanese. It was good though.

The restaurant seems to be visited by locals (always a good sign) and foreigners alike. Our second night was in the smoking section--much more space! The waiter was rather flamboyant, gesturing and commenting loudly. We enjoyed a mixed platter starter from the buffet. Can't remember the main meal, but I do remember us getting a mouthful when we went to help ourselves to dessert. I thought the other people were just looking at us because we're foreigners and a mixed couple. It turned out the waiter has the honour of slicing fat pieces of cake for us and covering every patch of white plate with some sweet treat. Hey, we'd served ourselves at the starter buffet!

A great restaurant with a variable meny. It's also a lot bigger than we first thought. There's an inner room (probably for locals with reservations only). The staff were friendly and some English speaking and the food was a good first true Milanese cuisine experience.
