The pasta is so good here and the price based on portion size is also fair. I went there 3 times during my trip. I recommend pasta frutti de mare (18€). Service price is 3€

Gelateria Ambrosiana is the best place for authentic Italian cuisine with variety. Guest attendant Joseph was very caring towards all guests . Shalom makes the best lobster dishes and ravioli . The most wonderful person is the owner of the place is so humble that you may seen sometime he is also Taking order or doing basic table arrangements for guests. No wonder why the staffs here are so good and prepare food so well. During my stay in milan the dishes which I tried here . Look how sumptuous they look

Little restaurant opposite the Duomo. Extremely well priced compared to its peer restaurants. Good quality food and great service. The large beer is also exceptionally big, would highly recommend.
