La Brasseria Milanese

"We came across La Brasseria Milanese on a perfect late summer evening. It seemed to have good lighting, beautiful interiors, and the patio was full of people lounging in the evening sun, looking like they were having a great time. Unfortunately the food was an absolute mess. Everything we ordered - from a disappointing tuna tartare and a tasteless carpaccio with truffle, through to a very poor chicken parm and veal escalope - suggested a paint-by-numbers approach to Italian food, and very little flair. Lots of style and very little substance. We won’t be rushing back for the food but can’t rule out stopping by for a drink at the bar or out on the patio. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"What It Is: A good looking Italian brasserie in Marylebone Perfect For: Wasting Your Time And Money We came across La Brasseria Milanese on a perfect late summer evening.
