Penelope a casa

Penelope is a stunning food experience. From the time we sat, we were intrigued by their offerings. We immediately received a welcome drink topped off with cotton candy. The food was good. Go with an appetite and get dessert. There was a dessert tower that had delicious treats, but I was too full to enjoy them.

Really cool fine dining experience. The complimentary arancini, prosecco with cotton candy and bread put this place over the top. The atmosphere felt really cool. The pasta was good. Not great in my opinion, but it was good.

The food is really good, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is peaceful. They kindly assigned us a Spanish-speaking waitress without us even asking. The desserts are amazing! Definitely one of the best places to eat in Milan.

So my partner and I always have a drink at el buscia the enoteca across the road as we live close by. I always noticed the sparkling interior from the window and the beautiful garden creeper that frames the door. So before my booking , I read the reviews and had a sense of what we were getting into. Upon our arrival we were greeted very nicely by the host and she took our coats and sent us to the table.. the interior (I am an interior designer) so I have to say the interior is really special, glamorous and interesting. I now understand all the instagram influencer ahha who constantly book out this place. We booked out table 3 weeks earlier to get the 8 30pm slot. Ok so to my review , I have to say we had a pleasant evening in general. We had good service , however I noticed and commented with my boyfriend these waiters are a bit intense. One they all dressed in black with ear pieces which make them look like body guards , the other thing is you can see they are pushing the restaurant to get the tables turned from the 8 30 to the 10pm service. They kept filling our glasses of wine even if I only had 3 sips. It was hard to relax watching them going up down up down at gods speed. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that there was service at the table just it's very very pushy. I think the point of this specific restaurant is more of an event restaurant where every 30 minutes there was a cake coming out with the same song playing . So in general go in mind knowing it's a "face paced" turn around of 2 hours. We later went to the bar for a drink and finally there we felt like we could relax. All in all , it was nice , I enjoyed it the food was good. I really wish the owners can do something about the pushy atmosphere or get the waiters to come across relaxed and maybe not overlook the restaurant so much that give some tables a chance to "eat slow and relax" ...

Good Food, smiling staff, warm ambiance and cosy atmosphere. Very nice place to eat with your date, or friends in couple.

I have to give 1 star unfortunately to this place, the place is nice absolutely lovely classy restaurant but the service. Let’s start from the beginning, we made a reservation for the slot at 10pm and we literally didn’t have time to enjoy anything, we had the welcome Prosecco with small starter and we got 3 starters to share between 4, then it was past 11 and most probably they had to close and they started rushing us, we finished our starters and literally not even 1 minute after they brought the mains…. We had ordered pata negra plate and we still were enjoying the taste when straight away they bring the mains…. I was speachless, then we ate our mains and again straight after they came telling us the kitchen was closing so we had to rush to order desserts and coffee and when we pointed the fact they were rushing us they offered a free coffee and then they came back saying the machine was already cleaned and they couldn’t make it, anyway overall not a pleasant experience unfortunately! Don’t open the slot at 10 if you need to close the restaurant at 11:30. Food was good but desserts are nothing great, and I will NOT be back!

We have been trying to come for a couple months, the place is such a hit that it is so hard to find a spot, I reserved two months in advance! I had very high expectations and they vere most certainly met! The staff is very friendly and nice, they accommodated every request as I celebrated my birthday here. The location is stunning, it really does look like all the photos and truly feels like a fairytale experience. The food selection was good, though a bit limited for vegetarians, however what we ordered was amazing. The egg and purée were phenomenal and so was the cacio e Pepe pasta! A must try! As hard as it is to get a table, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It’s a very fun experience, even though a bit loud at times, I very much enjoyed it!
