Locanda Perbellini Bistrot Milano

Outstanding in every way. Photos prove the food is excellently prepared and presented. Great wine recommendations. Engaging staff. Would definitely return. 😎

I have been recommended this restaurant as a good local restaurant that locals go to. I went there without reservation and got a seat. Since it was my first restaurant in Italy, I asked for a true Italian carbonara. And I finished with a pannacotta. That was the best carbonara and pannacotta I have eaten so far in my life..

One of the best restaurants I visited in my last trip. Clean place with very good service The salads were fresh and the chicken diavola was very good. They made even the breast tender. I would love it more hot 🔥 but anyway it was tasty . The bread was different and tasty

Delicious and excellent value. A really wonderful risotto Milanese. Lovely wine too

The bread to start was fantastic! The beef tartare was really nice and the veal cheek was absolutely superb. A great experience overall!

Minimalist and modern decor. Very centrally located in the heart of Milan. The venue definitely feels a little bit cramped. A part of the kitchen is literally located in front of the tables. Personally I found that a bonus because I could watch the chefs. They have unlimited bread so every time you finish the bread basket, they bring a fresh basket of warm bread. The staff was friendly .

Absolutely great food and very friendly service. Reservation was challenging with no confirmation. Tempo was a bit high with courses following too quick, but the dishes itself (which is what we came for) surely made up for that. All-in a wonderful evening.

I’m really disappointed with Locanda Perbellini Bistrot. Apart from the tartare which was just ok, otherwise the food was inedible. Carbonara is swimming in sauce, very little guanciale, we were not given parmigiano cheese even if we asked for it (although the table next to the Italian customers got a whole bowl). The waiter rolled his eyes and walked away without a word. Veal cheek, although the meat was tender it was diametrically over-salted, inedible. The same for risotto, pure taste of saffron and salt. Eventually the eggplant parmigiana not very distinctive in taste. All dishes are quite small so 2 starters and 1 main course is the minimum for one person. Not only the food is at a very poor level, but service as well, waiters are sad and unhelpful, we did not get the information on off-card dishes and we were not given parmigiano cheese like other guests. Evidently Italian origin customers are better treated and served, while English-speaking tourists not at all. The decor is quite modest, the restaurant is very cramped, guests sit next to each other and there is a piece of paper on the table instead of a tablecloth.
