Paper Moon Giardino

We visited this restaurant and ordered around three different types of seafood pasta. We also had ravioli stuffed with spinach and cheese, plus some fried calamari with shrimp and sardines. Everything was incredibly delicious—each seafood dish was tastier than the last. For dessert, we tried the chocolate fondant, and it was great, along with a really good espresso. The service from Youssef was absolutely top-notch—super.

Recommended by my concierge and it was totally packed at lunch. Went back there at 3pm and still had to wait for a table. Gamba appetiser was meh; couldn’t taste this signature prawn. The same prawn tasted better in the raviolo because the sauce was packed with the prawn umami. My dessert was the tartare di manzo and I did not regret ordering it. I would skip the battuto di gamberi Rossi even though it was two-starred on the menu (ie highly recommended). I didn’t get any wine and total tab was €83.

The service and atmosphere were nice, but the food — except for the starters — didn’t live up to the prices. The pasta dishes we had were very average, and the bread was all stale and hard. It seems people come here mainly for the atmosphere. I’ve been to Paper Moon restaurants in other countries, and the flavors were much better there. The Milan branch was disappointing. You can find far better and more affordable places in this city — I wouldn’t recommend spending your time here.

Everything was very tasty, and the outdoor atmosphere was amazing. We ordered the ravioli, fish, and fried seafood, all were delicious. The tarte tatin was less to our taste, but the staff were very kind and happily offered to replace it. Great food and lovely service!

In my opinion, this is by far the best Italian restaurant in Milan. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was warm and professional. The staff clearly know how to make international guests feel welcome. For me, the highlight was the filet steak — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommended!

21 Oct 2025 Food here is above average. Since this is the first coming to this restaurant, so we ask some recommendation of their food here rather than choosing by ourselves. Those 2 appertizers and 2 mains recommended by our waiter are good. Their service and the atmosphere are great.

Excellent experience at Paper Moon. The milanese was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender inside. The pasta was al dente with well-balanced sauces. And the tiramisu was simply outstanding: creamy, light, and with just the right hint of coffee. Friendly service and an elegant but relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Peper moon is truly worth a visit ,Be sure to book in advance as it gets busy. You can choose between a cozy indoor setting or a charming outdoor area with a lovely view. We went for dinner and the welcome was wonderful. The appetizers were really tasty, the main dishes were spot on in flavor and presentation, and the desserts were simply delicious. Service was excellent throughout , I’d definitely recommend it.

Swanky Italian restaurant with excellent seafood. We had the pulpo and the fantasia seafood platter for 2 and it was amazing. A place to see and be seen. Servers were polite. We sat in the covered outdoor elegant area in the back and it was pouring rain which created the perfect atmosphere for a night out in Milan.

Stopped by because this place was recommended to me by a few people staying in my hotel. I came without a reservation but it was just me so I was able to be seated immediately. I ordered gnocchi, shrimp and a glass of grappa. Everything was good and the shrimp were huge. My waiter went above and beyond because he provided me with bug spray after I told him I was eaten alive earlier. I enjoyed the ambiance here and the architecture. Highly recommended.

Reservations are required. Place is always packed. Food is to die for and service is awesome. Everything on the menu is thoughtful and reasonably priced.

Absolutely amazing place. We found it on our last night at Milan and were just floored. Steak florentine was heavenly. Pastas were perfection. Desserts were unbelievable. My daughter swore it was the best panna cotta she ever had in her life. And the bill was much much lower than I expected. Everything was Michelin star quality. Will be coming here every time I come back to Milan! Highly recommend the burrata, steak florentine, tagliatelle, panna cotta, tiramisu, dark chocolate mousse.

Paper Moon Giardino is a hidden restaurant in the shopping district of Milan, Italy. My wife and I were shopping in the area and headed over on a Tuesday evening. We were able to grab a table without a reservation and were seated. The restaurant is very upscale, dark, and has excellent service. As soon as we sat down, we were served complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This was great. I also ordered a red wine and a few items: [ANTIPASTA] +Burrata Pugliese (burrata cheese with tomatoes, fresh basil, and extra virgin olive oil) for €19 - 4.5/5 [PRIMI PIATTI] +Raviolo (homemade raviolo stuffed with burrata cheese, raw red shrimps, and cherry tomatoes) for €23 - 4.5/5 +Tagliatelle (homemade tagliatelle with Bolognese ragout sauce) for €18 - 4.5/5 [DOLCI] +Tiramisù (soft ladyfinger with mascarpone cheese and coffee) for €11 - This was the best Tiramisù I have ever had. It was delicious and moist. - 5/5 Overall, Paper Moon Giardino was an amazing experience. From my week in Italy across Milan and Rome, this place had to be the best spot in all categories from location, food, and service. Every food item hit the spot, and I had zero complaints. If you come to Milan, Paper Moon Giardino would be the first place I would recommend for a great meal out.

Great service and food. If you are in Milan this is a do not miss. Dining in the garden is a delight!

My first time here from New York. recommended by one my friends. I got here after shopping around. I didn't have a reservation but was seated right away. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. I got salad as an appetizer and pasta with clams and a bottle of red wine. Delicious !!! The ambiance is superb. I highly recommend this restaurant. will be back. Thanks !!!! :)

Fantastic place, location !!! Quality!!! service!!! Absolutely will be back!!! Seeing many places in Milan especially in the center- this one is really a pearl.

Very nice , a little fancy, plenty of options. The staff were kind and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Plenty of seating. My favorite was the fish of the day dish.

Fantastic service, ambience, and food. From start to finish they made our last night in Milan a pleasure. It's upscale and slightly hidden--it was lovely.

Wonderful garden even in winter. Great professional staff. Scallops were great but monkfish over cooked. Great bread.

My favorite restaurant in Milan so far. Elegant decor, beautifully prepared fresh seafood and excellent service. Recommend

I have been today for lunch, the place it's amazing and food it's outstanding, I had a polpo as appetizer and a Scottona as main course, both were excellent.

Superb and attractive cousin to the pizza-oriented Paper Moon nearby, with a lovely garden and great seafood. Get the three fish tartare to start, along with the Burrata with Caponata. We split Orata with potatoes and asparagus, but I suspect the other fish entrees are equally good. A real winner not far from the Duomo.

Ordered a salad with berries and sauce and got a bowl of salad leafs with nothing in it... strange as noone even offered to fix it and just brought us some berries probably suggesting that we have to prepare the salad ourselves...weird.
