I was walking around the city and was craving Spaghetti Carbonara, so I just typed in "best Spaghetti Carbonara in Milan" into Google, and luckily for me, this place popped up on the map, and I wasn't even 50 meters from it. How cool is that?! Talk about convenient! Well, I think I was meant to be there that night :)
From start to finish, this was 5 Stars all the way! I hadn't been in Italy for a while and forgot how good simple bread with oil and aceto/balsamic vinegar could be. The menu mentioned they had one of the top risottos in Milan, so I was curious, but my all time favorite dish is Spaghetti Carbonara and they had that too. This is when I met Kevin, a very nice gentleman, who recommended the Carbonara, so of course I agreed. It did not disappoint! I've had spaghetti carbonara dishes in Florence, Rome, and multiple other places (too many to count) and this was one of the, possibly THE BEST, I've ever had! Strong flavor and crispy bacon that reminded me of American bacon, which you just don't see in Europe. For dessert, Kevin recommended Millefoglie which I had never heard of but it had berries with it, so I was sold. It was a crispy, flaky (pasta I think he said) that acted like a bun for the Chantilly cream and berries. It was very light and a nice finish to go after dinner. He also let me taste a dessert wine, which was a bit too sweet for me at first, but as I continued to very lightly sip it, it became quite delicious!
I hope this review is helpful, though it's longer than I anticipated, but when you have a great dish and an even better experience, I had to write it all down!
Will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends when they travel to Milan!
Grazie Mille, Kevin for the recommendations, and everyone for the great service!
