The 19 Best Restaurants In Milan - Milan - The Infatuation

"Relaxed wine bars with small shared plates are having a moment in Milan (and, well, everywhere else), but the kitchen at Botoi in Porta Venezia stands out. Call ahead to secure a spot at one of the four tables or two stools to watch the one-man show: the young Italian owner is there every night to chat with guests in between cooking, serving, busing, and pouring wine. The small menu of seasonal seafood and produce is mainly traditional Northern Italian plates with a twist, with standouts like chard lasagna with smoked provola and polenta with baccalà and monk’s beard. The long-fermented focaccia, with onions, black olives, and anchovies is otherworldy." - elizabeth de filippo jones

So impressed. By the dishes and by the one-man show. Baccalà mantecato is profound with smoky flavors and an umami + algrodolce tomato sauce. Chinese cabbage with tahini and dehydrated seaweed is very harmonious and respectful of the ingredients. I still wonder how the chef manages it all from cooking to service and washing the dishes. It’s a perfect spot in Mila to try some more contemporary cuisine at a very decent price. Paid 31€ for two dishes and one dessert.

Such a cool experience! The chef runs a one-man show. He does everything in the restaurant and it’s an open kitchen for you to see. The food uses high quality ingredients and unique flavors. Wish I went with others so could’ve tried more!

Absolutely incredible, delicious and unique food with a totally unique vibe at prices that make you forget you’re in Milan. I only wish we had ordered more, I loved it so much.

one man show running the restaurant! food was delicious with an interesting mix of flavours. the baccala was especially smooth and velvety. just bear in mind since there’s only one person here, manage your expectation esp about the speed of the service. but other than that it was a 5/5 experience

One-man show! The entire place is run by the owner, who does everything from cooking to serving. The atmosphere is cozy — it only fits around 10 people inside — and the food is truly amazing! Every dish is carefully curated and perfect for sharing. Great value for money, truly recommend.
