Visitor comments

  • "Restaurant was recommended by food connoisseur in Milan. The place is very modern and just a few tables. The tasting menu we chose was superb and the service outstanding. This place presents a fresh approach to the Milan cuisine." - Trip Advisor
  • "We came here to celebrate our anniversary with high expectations and were not disappointed! Often servers lack charisma or care for your choices, here the service was fantastic, they guided us through the menu in a beautiful way and helped us design our own menu to perfection. You do have to go with an open mind, this isn't a traditional menu but it will not disappoint. A must visit when in Milan." - Trip Advisor
  • "My fiancé booked this as a surprise and I wasn't let down! The food was fantastic, the service was first class and the overall experience was 10/10. Would recommend the taster menu... the waiters came over and told a story of the ingredients with every dish which was that something extra. I will be returning." - Trip Advisor
