Piazzetta Milù

Wow. I’m at a loss for words. Every single aspect of this of this experience (using the word “meal” simply does not do it justice) was incredibly well designed and executed. The level of creativity and innovation is unmatched. I won’t post photos of any of the courses to preserve the sanctity of the element of surprise, but take my word. This was the most amazing culinary experience of my life. Extra points for having such a handsome team.

One of the best gastronomical experiences of my life. Host and sommelier Emanuele is an amazing expert and made our dinner an unforgettable event. His brother and the Chef Maicol creates edible pieces of art that leaves you speechless. I predict that the second and then the third Michelin star are just around the corner. The personal touch and the introduction of all the staff members is something that I would love to witness more often.

What even to say... Incredible food, surprising flavours and textures, great drinks (wines but not only). I don't want to say more and spoil the many surprises of the experience, just suffice it to say you will not be disappointed. Extremely high level technique while not losing sight of flavour. It was the most fun at a restaurant I have ever had (fun coming from the food and experience that is). Unpretentious and sometimes silly, a complete success. One of the top meals I've eaten and experienced.

- Everything is a surprise. Nothing is dull or boring. Pompei is an old city with plenty of innovative and experimental bars and restaurants. - 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing. Love the craft beer aged in champagne barrel. - Chef is young and cute. - Servers are friendly, funny, and knowledgeable of the dishes, regional culture, geographic, and their suppliers.

The restaurant is managed by three brothers, each of them having their own role in this well-oiled machine. You will have to go for their seasonal tasting menu, and – trust me – you will not regret it. We were lucky enough to visit in December, when they were proposing their “limited edition” menu inspired by the smells, the ingredients, and the flavors you might expect to find in Neapolitan homes in the Christmas period. The whole dining experience was spot-on: we were welcomed with a nice drink in the antechamber, we were helped through the kitchen where the chef surprised us with an unexpected starter, then we walked downstairs to their cellar, where we dined at candlelight surrounded by their thousands of incredible wine bottles. The pace was fast, we had many bites which could not be described in classical Italian courses terms (no “first dish” or “second dish” per se), everything was beautiful, prepared with care and detail and extremely tasty. Especially in this phase, there were many trompe-l'œil, different consistencies, and the majority of the courses were surprising in a good way. We finally moved to the main dining room, where we had the last stretch of our experience. The room is bright and well decorated, the tables are fairly distant, and you are given the right amount of attention by the staff. I will not describe the dishes, as they will change soon, and also because you have the same right I had to be surprised; all I can say, though, is that even the (very few) ones that did not “wow” us were perfectly executed – just lacking some punch. I had the beverage pairing, which entailed excellent wines from around the world, but also sake, gins, botanical drinks, a scotch… and that’s exactly what I would like to experience every time I visit a fine dining restaurant: competence, extensive knowledge, and ability to surprise the customers with pairings they would have never thought of. I had informed the crew it was my fiancée’s birthday, and they made it very special with a considerate and personal touch (if you guys are reading: once again, thanks a lot!). The price is probably higher than the average for one-starred restaurants in the area, but the team at Piazzetta Milù are definitely pushing the bar. Try to think about it in these terms: sure, you’d be paying a bit more than what you should for a “normal” one-starred restaurant, but you are having an experience worth two stars – which would be much more expensive. So, at the end of the day, it’s a bargain :-)

It was an incredible experience, one of the best in my lifetime and people who know me know I love great meals. Me explaining it will not do it justice. You are in for an adventure and don’t be fooled by the little bites because you will be more than satisfied by the time you leave.

Great experience I booked a table by writing an e-mail to them and got the confirmation with in the same day We ordered the taste menu. The food is amazing and the service is outstanding, definitely worth the money. There is detailed explaination with passion for each dish and also the pairing wine. Love it It is a pity that they dont have juice menu and hope this may come some day

Ok, so this is a gem to seek out and make the trip. They earned their 2 Michelin stars.

Amazing food experience. I had a blast. I opted for the 7 course menu with wine pairing. It was amazing
