Walking around during the roof terraces on a sunny day was terrific. The outside of the Cathedral is more interesting than the inside, but that is still very impressive. The museum was a lit more interesting than I thought it was going to be We bought timed tickets (the timing is for the roof) before going. When I bought them, I thought they were expensive. After the visit, they seem good value as visiting all areas took the whole day.

Duomo di Milano Visiting the Duomo di Milano was nothing short of an awe-inspiring experience — one that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who steps inside or even stands before its breathtaking façade. From the very first glance, the Duomo’s Gothic splendor captivates you. The intricate marble exterior, adorned with countless statues, spires, and delicate carvings, reflects centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. Stepping inside, the atmosphere changes entirely. The soft light filtering through the enormous stained-glass windows paints the vast interior in jewel tones, creating a serene and almost ethereal feeling. The soaring vaulted ceilings, majestic columns, and detailed altars speak volumes of the artistry and faith that built this extraordinary cathedral. Climbing to the rooftop was another unforgettable highlight. From there, Milan stretches out in every direction, and being among the forest of marble pinnacles and statues — each one unique — gives a completely new perspective on the city and its history. What makes the Duomo truly special is the sense of connection it inspires — to art, to faith, and to time itself. Every detail, from the smallest sculpture to the grandest dome, tells a story of patience, vision, and enduring beauty. In short, the Duomo di Milano isn’t just a church; it’s an experience — one that blends architectural genius, spiritual depth, and a sense of wonder that few places in the world can match.

The Duomo di Milano stands as Milan’s most iconic landmark, a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture that took almost six centuries to complete. Its marble façade, intricate carvings, and countless spires create an extraordinary first impression. Each detail tells a story, from the statues that crown the cathedral to the golden Madonnina standing tall above the city. Inside, the vast space, stained glass windows, and marble columns create an atmosphere of quiet reverence. We got our tickets from Get Your Guide for the Cathedral and Duomo’s Terraces Entrance Ticket, which made access simple and well organised. Exploring the terraces was an unforgettable experience. Walking among the marble pinnacles gives you a close view of the craftsmanship that defines this masterpiece. The panoramic view from the rooftop captures Milan in all its beauty, and on a clear day, you can even spot the Alps in the distance. It is an experience that combines art, faith, and history in one breathtaking moment.

Outstanding and breathtaking cathedral. You have to visit — buy tickets in advance and definitely go up to the rooftop; don’t miss that experience. At different times of day it feels like a different building because of the sun. They’re very strict about the dress code: if your shoulders and knees aren’t covered, you won’t be allowed into the church itself. They offer a disposable cover from a machine for €3, so bring a shirt, cover, or scarf to avoid paying extra for something you’ll use for 15 minutes and then throw away.

I wanted to be there at sunset, to see the changes in the light. I did it! We bought the ticket together with the rooftop visit, we were impressed. It is worth buying tickets in advance online, but there are not many people on site during the week.

The inside was beautiful, but the tour area was very small. We went around the corner to the civic museum and spent over an hour touring there. The highlight for me was walking across the Bridge of Sighs. Looking out as you walk, knowing people who had been convicted had walked across there and saw the sky for the last time until they released, seemed so heavy. The rooms of the court were beautiful and covered in paintings. This was worth the price of the tickets!

Undoubtedly one of the most magnificent cathedrals in the world. It is the cathedral that took the longest period for its cathedral: nearly 600 years, from 1386 to 1965. We went around the cathedral but could not get a full view as some renovation was still going on. We went there at night and it was a marvellous sight, a dazzling tall structure shining bright in the darkness. The vast square in front was full of people, taking in the full majesty of the cathedral.

Thw musuems hosts many artifacts story-telling the greek christian history and the construction of the Domo... very nice museum.

If you have the time when visiting the Duomo you should definitely visit the Palazzo Reale. I loved this museum! The dim light gave the museum a great atmosphere and it wasn't too crowded at the moment we visited. Highly recommend if you are a fan of art and history.

we were very lucky to visit this beautiful museum with the paintings of EL GRECO. Spectacular

Went for an exposition of  GEORGE HOYNINGEN-HUENE. GLAMOUR E AVANGUARDIA. I thought it was like a tour in the palazzo but there is just expositions according to the artist then you have to choose which you want to see.

Saw the Dolce and Gabbana exhibit there and was speechless. Even as someone not “being into fashion” - the commitment towards the vision and it being translated throughout Italians regions and history - really special. From the heart into the hands describes the creative process of design in all its elements very beautifully.

Went on Saturday and was told the exhibitions are free. Loved the paintings and the sculptures exhibitions. The building itself is well preserved and loved the wall colors and all the molding and sculpture details. We were very surprised that there were barely anyone there and it’s right next to one of the busiest cathedrals. it’s such a good escape from the crowd and the heat.

Dolce & Gabbana exhibition 2024 was an amazing experience. Attention to detail in exhibits is unimaginable. Well worth a visit and price ticket of €15.

To be walking on the same grounds as people over 2,000 years ago was awe-inspiring! The columns were magnificent! Unfortunately the Basilica is undergoing restoration so we couldn’t see the exterior.

Fascinating urban archaeological site from the late third century A must visit in Milan. It is also very close by to the ruins of the city's circus maximus, though unfortunately there is not too much left to see.

It's one of the places I like very much. We sat in the garden, drank coffee and rested. It has a nice historical atmosphere. It's also a very nice place to take photos for those who want to be photographed.

A good place to relax. Go the convenience store, grab a cold beer, sit underneath a tree, and watch the columns, like giants resting, the people going by and laughing, the emperor statue overlooking the site, the music ... Enjoy

This is one of Milan’s most striking Roman-era landmarks, featuring 16 Corinthian marble columns, each about 7.5 meters tall. The columns likely originated from a 2nd–3rd century Roman temple or public bath and were relocated to their current location in the 4th century. During the Middle Ages, they formed part of a quadriportico, a four-sided colonnaded forecourt in front of the Basilica of San Lorenzo. The arcade walls and supporting structures were completed in the 11th–12th centuries. In 1935, a major urban renewal project cleared away nearby residential buildings and walls, creating the open square seen today. A cross stands atop a small central column, and nearby you can also see remnants of the medieval Porta Ticinese gate. By night, the square transforms into a popular meeting spot for young people, blending ancient history with modern urban life.

I love the place you can grab anything to drink and spend your time there discovering the place

Nice spot to chill bohemian way at any time, but during summer. Slot of people gather there to socialise, drink etc. cool place. In general safe but also there could be violence so be alert.

Awesome building and great atmosphere grand arches make it a must see landmark. It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, luxury shopping, or enjoying a coffee while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. A truly iconic Milanese experience.

A stunning masterpiece of Italian architecture and style. The soaring glass dome, marble floors, and ornate ironwork make the Galleria one of the most elegant spaces in Europe. Standing at the center, beneath the famous mosaic of the bull, is a little ritual — spin your heel for good luck — and it’s fun to watch visitors from all over the world take part. Even if you’re not shopping, the beauty of the place makes it worth visiting. The light through the dome, the hum of conversation from the cafés, and the view toward the Duomo capture everything you imagine Milan to be — sophisticated, timeless, and full of life.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is one of those places that makes you stop and stare even if you were just walking by. The second you step inside, you feel like you have entered a different world. The glass roof, the iron structure, and the floor covered with mosaics all hit you at once. It is elegant without trying too hard, classic but still alive. Every angle looks like it was made to be photographed, and somehow it never feels fake or staged. You can hear the sound of footsteps echoing through the hall, mixed with the low buzz of people talking, laughing, and shopping. Luxury stores line both sides, but even if you are not there to spend money, just walking through is worth it. The smell of coffee from the cafes mixes with the city air, and for a moment everything feels balanced between chaos and calm. If you look up, the glass dome above makes the light fall in a way that changes through the day, from soft in the morning to golden near sunset. It gives the whole place a quiet glow. You start to realize it is not just a shopping gallery, it is a piece of Milan’s identity. Old, proud, stylish, and built to last. It is one of those spots that remind you why Milan feels different from every other city.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is not just a shopping mall it’s truly a masterpiece of architecture and Italian elegance. Located right next to the famous Duomo, this historic gallery feels like stepping back in time to the golden age of Milan. The stunning glass dome, the detailed mosaic floors, and the grand arches make it one of the most beautiful and photogenic places I’ve ever visited. The moment you walk in, you can feel the luxury and history surrounding you. Every corner is picture-perfect, and even if you’re not into shopping, it’s still worth visiting just to admire the design and atmosphere. The galleries are lined with high-end fashion brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci a paradise for luxury shoppers. Even the window displays are pieces of art. We also stopped for a coffee at one of the cafes inside, and it was a lovely experience sitting under the glass roof watching people pass by. Prices are a bit high (as expected in such a prestigious location), but the experience is totally worth it. You can also find restaurants offering delicious Italian cuisine perfect for a relaxing lunch after exploring the Duomo area. One tip: visit early morning or late evening to avoid the big crowds and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the gallery. At night, when the lights glow softly through the glass ceiling, it feels truly magical. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a must-see in Milan a symbol of Italian craftsmanship, style, and timeless beauty.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan is a stunning 19th-century shopping arcade, named after Italy’s first king and designed by Giuseppe Mengoni. Opened in 1877, it’s Italy’s oldest active mall and a masterpiece of iron-and-glass architecture. Visiting with my family was a joy—we captured countless photos and videos of its elegant mosaics, soaring dome, and vibrant atmosphere. The Galleria connects Piazza del Duomo to Teatro alla Scala and hosts luxury brands like Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Rolex. It’s not just a shopping destination, but a cultural landmark where history, fashion, and architecture blend into an unforgettable Milanese experience.

Major landmark of Milan. It has been Italy's oldest shopping arcade. It is in the form of a four-story double arcade. It houses some of the oldest shops of Italy and of course very popular modern ones as well. Since it is an excellent shopping arcade there is always a big crowd around. The vast open square in front is quite good for resting and photos.

It’s much smaller than I expected from the photos and what I imagined before coming — located right next to the Duomo. It’s one of Milan’s notable landmarks, but honestly, I didn’t find it that impressive. Still, it’s something you end up visiting since you’re already in Milan. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really meet my expectations and was less impressive than I hoped.

What an exceptional experience. Once in a life time for me! as an Asian person, it was great to attend opera. Reminder to be aware of dress code as Italian dress really proper for opera!!! Good thing is there’s subtitle in English for the opera . Staff is helpful. Nice bar during the break too, good champagne.

A beautiful place, full of charm and history. The architecture, colors, and overall atmosphere are stunning, it truly feels like a grand theatre. The stage is massive, and the chandelier is absolutely gorgeous. The foyer is spacious and elegant, with mirrors that add to its classic feel. The museum is also worth exploring, filled with fascinating objects and paintings. Definitely a must-visit in Milan.

Went to see the ballet productions Études, Petite Mort, Boléro with the Ballet Company of the Teatro alla Scala and the Orchestra of the Academy of La Scala Theatre and it was epic. The orchestra and conductors were brilliant but the dancers were the stars especially the Boléro, she was amazing and the piece was spectacular. No idea how she spend 20+ mins like that but I'd watch it again any day. Only problem is for a 6 foot plus person the seats in the balcony are real tight, almost makes Ryan Air look a little comfy. Was fanatic to see so many kids at the ballet, smiling, laughing and enjoying it. We need more of this in Ireland

The museum is very interesting. The building is beautiful and there is a lot to see. It is really nice that you have the chance to look into the stage and watch a current rehearsal. The ticket is 12 euro and the visit is totally worth it. We visited on a Tuesday morning and there were very few visitors so it was quite.

Remember to book in good time in advance as the tickets sell out fast! This legend is one of the top opera houses in the world. The foyer space is quite small compared to the big number of seats and it gets really crowded in the intermission. The bar is cramped so go to line first for a separate ticket to get the drinks, only then to the service area so you get your purchase. We saw Verdi’s Rigoletto. The expectations were very high so we were a bit disappointed. The tenor had gotten sick and the replacing singer was not at the same level with other soloists that were stunning. We found the regie, set and clothing a bit outdated, even if the turning set worked well. The lighting was off and I guess with better lighting design the opera would have looked much better. Overall we were pleased with the evening.

Even just from the outside, La Scala is elegant and timeless. The neoclassical façade is beautifully preserved and radiates quiet grandeur. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel Milan’s connection to art and culture — worth a short stop even if you don’t go inside.

The ticket for youth is 8e which is more expensive then other museums but still affordable. The theatre is very beautiful and you can see it well from the balcony. The musem is nice.

It is one of a kind dining experience. Service was no doubt exceptional. I enjoyed the sweetness from the starter. The risotto was very nice. A personal greetings by the chef was something I didn't expect on the night.

We had dinner at Cracco and chose to sit upstairs, inside – the location is beautiful, with a very classic and peaceful ambiance. It’s an elegant setting, no doubt, and you can feel the prestige of the place, especially with its Michelin star. However, the food didn’t quite meet the expectations that come with that reputation. I ordered the lobster for two, which looked more impressive in the photo than it did on the plate. The taste was fine, but nothing that really stood out or made me want to come back. I skipped dessert because nothing on the menu really appealed to me, and the cheese selection was surprisingly small – just one thin slice of each type, which felt a bit underwhelming. Overall, it’s a nice spot if you’re looking for a quiet, refined atmosphere, but from a culinary perspective, I wouldn’t return for a second visit.

The location truly speaks for itself: situated in the iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, this spot exudes class and charm. While I didn’t come for lunch or dinner, I specifically stopped by for a classic breakfast – and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is elegant and timeless, with décor that perfectly complements the grandeur of the Galleria. Service was friendly and professional, striking a nice balance between attentive and relaxed. What stood out most was the quality of the coffee and the freshness of the brioche. The flavors were simple yet authentic – no unnecessary frills. What pleasantly surprised me were the prices. Compared to similar establishments in other major cities, both in Italy and abroad, this is a very affordable choice for a refined breakfast experience. In short: this is more than just a place to eat or drink – it’s somewhere to pause, appreciate your surroundings, and enjoy the quality of something simple done well. Perfect for a calm start to the day or a quick break while exploring Milan.

We have the Italian breakfast which included the smashed scrambled eggs with spinach. It was excellent. The filtered coffee was very good.. We were lucky to get a nice table at the Terrace. The car was on was also pretty good.

It’s in a very busy area, and I guess the hosts were a bit overwhelmed—they didn’t greet us very warmly. The waitstaff was fine, and the food wasn’t bad, but nothing really stood out. I wouldn’t recommend planning a visit just to eat there, but if you’re already passing through the gallery and need something to eat, it’s a decent option without having to leave.

It was okay, it felt very awkward and impersonal customer service. The menu is misleading as we thought the food from the below cafe would be available and it was not clear. Staff are way to formal and difficult to relax with. The atmosphere is dull and boring. I would not recommend really. We also had a couple who came after us who were given menus before us which felt a bit odd.

Just had an expresso here waiting for my wife to shop around. Tastes ok and thanks the waitresses for allowing me to stay there for 30 minutes to wait. The menu looks decent too and the atmosphere is great. Obviously can have chats easily as it’s a quiet place. Good experience.

Top Italian Street Food Pizza! Every time you visit Milan, make sure to stop by Spontini for lunch or dinner — it’s a must. - The Doppia Pizza is simply one of the best pizzas you’ll ever have. - The Primavera Pizza is absolutely delicious. - The Funghi Pizza is a must-try. - The Lasagna is incredibly tasty and satisfying. Staff at the counter are friendly and the cashier speaks Italian, English, and Arabic. Service is super fast. There’s no formal dining area, just high tables with stools where you can enjoy your meal while standing.

Spontini has amazing pizza in Milano..! The taste is rich, cheesy, and really satisfying definitely worth trying if you’re in Milan. The only downside is the long lines, especially during busy hours. It can take a while to get your food. Also, the seating area is quite limited, so it might be hard to find a spot to sit and enjoy your pizza. Still, if you don’t mind waiting or grabbing your food to go, it’s a great place for a quick and tasty bite (:

Spontini is always a great idea whenever you are in the bustling city of milano. The quality of their pizzas never change and the indulgent delicious taste never fails, so make sure you grap a bite whenever you are around the city with many branches dotted around the city center ... we were passing by and we ended up having it for dinner and it made the rest our night delightful. I always have their anchovies, which is out of this world, with a crispy bottom and a rich cheesy core this pizza is just unbeatable for the lovers of deep dish pizza.

Best pizza franchise on the planet man… Don’t go here if you want Dominoes or Pizza Hut, only disappointed with the lack of pineapple on pizza Eat your pizza with a fork and knife while standing up, yeah there’s no seats in this place 5/5 ⭐️

I loved the crust and the flavorful toppings of the pizza so much that I decided to try both the anchovy and the Margherita varieties. The anchovy pizza had perfectly salted, tender fish, while the Margherita was especially memorable with its fresh basil, ripe tomatoes, and melted mozzarella. The Margherita pizza was exceptional—highly recommend!

This place was recommended to me by many friends and family members, and it’s totally worth every minute of waiting. I’ve never tried pizza like this before! الذ بيتزا ب حياااااتي جربتها!

The pizza is really delicious, especially the Margherita 🍕 The tomato sauce is rich and flavorful, giving it a great taste. Highly recommended when visiting Italy — a wonderful experience and a must-try if you’re in Milan 🇮🇹 Just a note: the pizza style here is originally American, not Italian, but definitely worth trying!

We ordered 3 different type pizza, service was perfect, although restaurant would close soon, they accepted us to inside and served. Pizzas were ok, not perfect but better than many others. Food quality/ Price performance is quite good.

Went twice over the past 2 weeks. The first time, I was alone. The second time, we had a group of 4. I had the vegan Marinara Pizza with mushrooms both times. The pizza is very good with a nice crunch to the crust. The rest of my party tried other pizzas and all loved them. The service was quick and the food didn't take long, either. I had the vegan (chocoloate) sorbet which was delicious 😋. Definitely recommend this place!

Nice little restaurant, pizza's weren't the best I had in Milan but were still good, staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was great in there. Pricing was very reasonable, probably the cheapest meal we had in Milan. My Irish wife loved that they did a potato pizza 😂

Terrible experience. On my last day in Milan, I wanted to enjoy a nice dinner with my friends, but this place completely ruined it. We ordered three pizzas and were told to wait for a table. When the food was ready, they handed us the pizzas in take-away boxes and refused to let us eat there, even though there were empty tables inside. They just said those were “reserved.” Extremely rude, unprofessional, and disappointing. Never coming back and do not recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing food, hidden gem ! They have some amazing pizza ! Must try

Super recommended! The pizzas are incredible, delicious. I will surely return. everything is wonderful. The service is very good, the staff is very friendly, the food delicious, quiet atmosphere.

I ordered a crudo burrata pizza for takeaway and I was positively surprised! You can taste the ingredients are of great quality and the all’arancia (orange) oil on top made it even more special.

A bit expensive for what it is, they don’t put too much toppings.

the food quality is BAD. i have not eaten a worse poke bowl ever. the rice is old & hard(from being old!), the shrimp has still gunk in it and it has NO flavor at all. i also found many insects in my food which made me lose my appetite! i do not recommend coming in here & i will not eat here again.

The food at this restaurant is acceptable, but the seating area is quite small. Unfortunately, hygiene standards are severely lacking. I witnessed a young female employee handling garbage, preparing food, and taking money from customers all without wearing gloves. This raises serious concerns about cleanliness and food safety.

Ordered the vegan poke bowl, scoops of ingredient could be more generous but it’s a a decent poke bowl. Vegan chicken they use was nice addiction of protein to the meal. Perfect for a quick grab and go.

Good place where you can eat healthy food, combine the ingredients you mostly like, pay a reasonable price. I chose brown rice, cucumber, ginger, avocado, edamame, tofu, wakamame seaweeds and teriyaki sauce. Being it mainly a take away place, there are obviuosly only two little tables outside the store. We were lucky enough to find three seats and I suppose it might become complicated to sit down. The girl serving us was kind and patient explaining how it works. Order online available.

Good and fresh food!! Really love to eat there!! The dishes are always well made and well presented!! Always as I can, I go 😍

Customize your own poke bowl! Lots of variety for toppings --all very fresh and great sauce options. The pineapple + mango + pomegranate are always so sweet and fresh! Highly recommend this poke place. Super small location with maybe 8 stools inside to sit and finish your meal, or you can go across the street and enjoy it in the park :) My favorite is the salmon with brown rice, pineapple, mango, pomegranate, edamame, corn topped w sesame seeds 10 euro for regular and 13 euro for a large

Absolutely fantastic experience! Iconic stadium with an unbelievable atmosphere. A definite must while in Milan. We purchased tickets easily through the main website for our family of 4. The stadium is easy to get to from the centre by metro and entry was well organised. We sat in section 322 for the first match of the Serie A season and tickets were really reasonably priced. We all absolutely loved it! An unforgettable experience, especially for our boys aged 11 and 9.

Visited stadium for the tour, turned out was self guided so you basically just get to wander around this famous old ground. There is a brilliant museum as well with loads of fantastic memrobelia. Jerseys , pennants etc. Was great to see but it could have been better.

We went to the Inter–Fiorentina match on Wednesday, October 29th, in very rainy weather. The entrance and access to the stadium were great, though, as with most stadiums, finding a car or taxi after the match was difficult, and transportation was heavily affected by the crowd. The atmosphere was one of the best in Europe, and the stadium itself is among the most iconic. In my opinion, it’s definitely a must-visit landmark in Milan.

Accompanied my husband with his ground hopping experience in Milan! Inter Milan v Cremonese 4-1 Inter won the game! The food trucks around the ground were great! Inside the stadium however the facilities were not so good. Toilets were tricky to get to, and there was only 4 female toilets on each level in each section (long lines at half time)! We didn’t try to get any refreshments in the ground as there was only one place opened that we saw. To get up to the seats there was a very long walk either up a huge amount of stairs or a big long walk around and around the towers to get to the top. Seats were a bit ‘snug’ and didn’t flip up, which made it tricky when someone was trying to get past in the line of chairs. On the way back down after the game, the stairs were very smelling of urine - not pleasant! Food trucks were still open after the game, and people were hanging around eating and drinking which was nice. Very easy to get the tram back into the main centre after the game.

Saw the stadium a few years ago on a open top tour bus going round Milan and seen it loads of times on TV and knew one day I had to visit for a game. Well finally I managed it, saw Inter v Fiorentina, Inter fans were amazing, did not stop singing from start to finish Much better than anything I have heard in the Premiership and I have been to most of the grounds. The San Siro is quite simply one of the most iconic stadiums in Europe if not the world. I was sat in the third tier close to the last row and the view was great. What look like towers in each corner are actually used by fans to get to the level they are sitting in. One minor point is that it takes an age to get out of the ground and onto the tube due to sheer numbers. My advice would be to walk to another tube station and go from there or stay in a hotel within walking distance.

A must see for any soccer fan. It was really easy to get to and the atmosphere was incredible. Also, the roof covered all the seats on a rainy night. As an American visiting, a few things were different, you have to pay attention to which entrance you're entering. You'll then scan your ticket again to enter your section. Also, the tickets aren't released for sale until only 2-ish weeks beforehand. Just sign up for a notification from either the Inter or Milan website. Lastly, the railings are fairly high. So, you may want to make sure you're a few rows back to have a full view.

Great experience at the stadium. Staff were very friendly providing guidance and directions. A historic venue soon to be replaced so we were happy to see a historic place. Local fans were also friendly.

Milan, Italy during Christmas time is beautiful. I was there for just couple of days. I didn’t remember the restaurant names but the food was so good. Especially the white truffle risotto and the lobster spaghetti. Pizza and everything else was good.

CityLife Shopping District offers a pleasant and relaxing experience. I enjoyed strolling through its charming shops, each with a simple yet inviting atmosphere. The open-air area was a highlight—perfect for walking and soaking in the lovely weather. It’s a great spot to unwind and take your time. The district is impressively clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort. Parking was hassle-free, with a well-organized system that made access easy. Whether you're browsing or just enjoying a peaceful walk, CityLife makes for a delightful visit. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a calm and enjoyable shopping day.

Good shopping center to have a nice time for shopping in a climated place. Not far away from the center of milano. After or for the men during the shopping also the opportunity to get some drinks and food while u are waiting for ur better half ;)

Great area, many shops, calm environment

Very large . A bit lack of directions but plenty of shops

The City Life Shopping District is located on Tre Torre Square (Three Towers). You can get there by metro on the purple line M5. The station is called Tre Torre. A modern shopping complex, very stylishly designed. A large selection of boutiques. Prices are slightly lower than in the Fashion District in the center of Milan. The difference was especially obvious in the Sephora perfume shop. There is also a large food court with a selection of cafes and bars for every taste. Very good angles for photos against the backdrop of three skyscrapers.

One of the best mall in Milan. Very close to train/tram station. Various brands available. Lots of restaurants and cafes are present here. Huge food court on the top floor. Ample parking space available.

Nice arch monument built during Napoleon's time. Looked nice. Some event was going on nearby and the place right next to it was all getting ready for that. We found just a few tourists here. Good place for few clicks. Visit if you have time.

After visiting the Sforza Castle, we walked through the park and ended up at the Arc of Victory (Arco della Pace)—such a nice way to continue the trip! The area is really beautiful, perfect for a walk, and once you pass through the arc you’ll find plenty of cafés and restaurants waiting for you. We sat down there to rest and enjoyed some truly delicious Italian food while watching the city life go by. A lovely spot that combines history, nature, and good taste all together.

The Arco della Pace in Milan is definitely a sight to see, especially in the evening. The square around it is a great place to just sit on the steps, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy the laid-back vibe. You'll find lots of young people around, maybe a bit of live music, and it's just a nice spot to either kick off your evening or wind down after exploring the city. Plus, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, so it's generally a really charming area.

A stunning and historic monument located at the edge of Parco Sempione. The architecture is truly impressive — beautifully detailed and full of history. 🏛️✨ It’s a peaceful and picturesque spot, especially at sunset when the arch glows with warm light. Great place for photos, relaxing walks, or just enjoying the view with a coffee nearby. ☕📸 If you’re visiting Castello Sforzesco or Parco Sempione, make sure to stop by — it’s definitely worth seeing! ❤️

An elegant monument in a beautiful, relaxed setting. Arco della Pace is a majestic triumphal arch that offers a quieter and more peaceful experience compared to other tourist spots in Milan. The surrounding park is perfect for a calm walk or relaxing with a view of this impressive neoclassical structure. It’s especially beautiful at sunset, when the light hits the arch just right. A great place to slow down, take photos, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Nice arc in Milan. My first time coming here and it’s really beautiful. Very European looking and romantic. Lots of people nearby eating lunch or taking Instagram pictures of themselves. We had some lovely aperitifs from a place close by. Theres lots of places to sit and view the arc with a drink or snack. It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Beautiful arch, well preserved. You can sit on the stairs enjoying the view, with the sound of Piano in the background. Amazing

Seeing The Last Supper at the Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment for me. No photo or book could ever prepare you for the feeling of standing in front of Leonardo’s masterpiece. The atmosphere is quiet and almost sacred—you can sense the history in the room. I felt completely in awe, almost like time had stopped, just taking in the details and the emotion on each Apostles faces. It was absolutely worth the wait and all the planning. If you’re dreaming of seeing it, please do yourself a favor and book well in advance—tickets sell out quickly and you can’t just walk in on the day. This experience is something I’ll carry with me forever.

Amazing masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci the last supper. We got a tour paid with the company GetYourGuide and it was very good. Not too friendly but very good explanations about the origin of the painting, history and holy stories about it. Bucket list

Visiting the Last Supper Museum in Milan requires significant advance planning, as there are no ticket sales on site. All tickets must be purchased online, and securing them is widely regarded as one of the most challenging museum bookings in Europe. Tickets are released only four times per year. For instance, tickets for the period from 1 November through 31 January become available on 30 September of that year. In addition, the museum releases a very small number of supplementary tickets every Wednesday at 12:00 PM (Milan time) for dates within the following couple of weeks. As a result, obtaining tickets often requires planning months in advance and checking the booking system diligently each Wednesday. It is, without exaggeration, a rather daunting and time-consuming process. Fortunately, we managed to secure a morning time slot during the week we were visiting Milan. Visitors must arrive at the gate 15 minutes before the scheduled entry time. The visit itself is strictly timed: you are allowed only 15 minutes inside the refectory to view Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. While brief, the controlled environment helps preserve the fragile mural and ensures a quiet, intimate viewing experience. Despite the effort required to obtain tickets, the experience is unequivocally worth it. The painting is breathtaking; even after centuries of deterioration, restoration, and careful preservation, the mastery of Leonardo’s technique remains evident. The composition, the expressions, and the sheer presence of the work are awe inspiring and offer a profound connection to one of the greatest masterpieces in art history. A visit to the Last Supper is unquestionably worth the logistical challenge. It stands as one of Milan’s most extraordinary cultural treasures.

📍 Leonardo’s Last Supper Museum (Cenacolo Vinciano) – Milan, Italy 🇮🇹 Home to one of the most famous artworks in the world 🎨—Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper. The painting is housed in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie ⛪ and seeing it in person is breathtaking. Entry is strictly timed ⏰, with only small groups allowed inside for about 15 minutes, which helps preserve the fresco. Tickets 🎟️ must be booked well in advance as they sell out quickly. A once-in-a-lifetime experience and an absolute must when visiting Milan. 🙌

Bought tickets through “get your guide app” no wait at all was able to go inside quickly and see this amazing mural. My guide was very knowledgeable and highly recommend it.

I brought thru Musement on line tour of the Last Supper around £62 ( Sept 2025 prices). Tour lasts approx 1 hour and you have only 15 mins to see the picture once you are in the room. It was well worth it as our guide told us everything about the painting. I met him with others outside for the 11:30 tour and was told about Leonardo and how busy he was, and hence how long he took to paint the picture. A classic masterpiece that you have to see as the colours are beginning to slight fade.There is a cafe outside opposite the church Danta Maria Delle. Grazie

Wonderful experience viewing the last supper. You must purchase tickets months in advance. You are in the room with the Last Supper for 15 minutes.

Great historic bar setting to enjoy a quick bite while near the Castello Sforzesco. Don’t expect anything too fancy - but their sandwiches and drinks are tasty, unpretentious and affordable. We ordered a piadina and a panino with an Aperol spritz and a Rabarbaro Zucca for lunch, followed by cafe with a slice of panettone. The space is everything you’d expect from a 1900s bar, including the original wooden bar and decor. Service is good and they’re quick. Avoid sitting near the speakers unless you’re super into loud music, but otherwise there are quieter sections.

We just stop by doe drink. What u like is the cold fan outside, the new intern waiter who was so nice and innocent. The others waiters were also nice. Worth stopping by for short snacks or drink

Stuffed focaccia was delicious. Was a nice respite from the almost 100 degree weather. We needed somewhere to get some water. 16 euro for two waters, sprite and split a large sandwich with my daughter. I thought it was a decent price. And just what we needed to continue on our journey.

Very rarely leave reviews but felt a warning to unsuspecting tourists was needed. Wish I had followed my gut and left immediately, I'm sure if you are Italian or Italian speaking this is a great place to stop for a snack. The lady at the desk is probably one of the rudest people I have come across anywhere on our travels, if you don't speak the lingo swerve this one.

Waited 20 minutes and still were not served. I went in side and said I was happy to order inside. They insisted I wait to be served but then never came out. 3 other couples experienced the same thing. We got up and walked away.

We stopped here for some lunch and to escape the heat. Inside is nicely decorated, and less than half full. As tourists I'm not sure of the protocol, but it felt like we had to wait forever to get any service. I finally went to the bar, and then the entrance area, to see if we needed to order somewhere or if someone would come to us. I was told a server would come to us, and shortly after we were taken care of. I don't have any food pics, but those that got the cheeseburgers raved about how good they were. So other than the slow start, this is a place I would recommend.

Everything was super good it was a classic Italian bar and it’s 100 years all. Furniture and atmosphere there is makes you in the 1900s. Also Food was so delicious, I tried lasagna it was just perfect. So just go there and have some drink if u want to feel some kind of connection between past.

I tried the dumplings and ravioli, and they were absolutely delicious served hot and perfectly complemented by the soy sauce. The flavors were rich and satisfying. I definitely recommend giving them a try! The staff were also very kind and welcoming, which made me feel satisfied with the service.

I've been here before and I just feel like the dumplings have changed. The service is still super quick and the people are so nice. However the dumplings themselves weren't great, the meat (beef) was extra chewy as if undercooked, and there wasn't really anything special about them. I am sad to write this review as we used to really like this place.

Ordered through Glovo — hands down the best dumpling place in Milan! The dumplings were fresh, flavorful, and arrived perfectly packed. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. If you’re craving authentic dumplings in Milan, this spot is a must-try!

Actually was pretty authentic and delicious (wasn’t expecting that in Milan). Really enjoyed my meal and the hometown tianjin cooking. The 凉皮 and 煎饼果子were particular standouts. Will certainly be back next time I return to Milan. What a pleasant surprise to have this as an option when I need a change from the Italian food!

There is a store adjacent to it where you can seat to eat the dumplings . The Gong Bao claypot rice is horrible. Rice is soggy (meant to be dry), and sour. Tastes like they went ham with the black vinegar. Not exaggerating to say it’s the worse claypot rice I’ve had in my life Good mind to chuck the entire pot away

We came here after reading the reviews and photos but we were very disappointed. Normally we like Chinese cuisine but this place was definitely far from the Chinese cuisine we liked. You will understand when you look at the latest reviews. They also failed in terms of hygiene.

The dumplings were quite large and the wrapping is pasta. Pretty much billed. It was super fast to receive our pork and steak dumplings after we ordered. You can choose if you want soy sauce or spicy sauce, or both. The spicy sauce really added great depth. If you order more than one thing, it’s challenging to eat it without sitting on the ground. There were only two high tops in the vicinity and they were occupied.

They managed to fit my booking in very last minute. Food was great! I think prices are very fair. We had risotto and Milanese cutlet. My mum looooved the risotto, I looooved the cutlet- was made to perfection! Gorgonzola and polenta starter was a highlight!!! Atmosphere was wonderful, very athletic and welcoming place. I would definitely go back.

This is the best place for traditional Italian food in Milano. It’s a family restaurant opened in 1962 and still run by the family with Mrs Elide on top of the restaurant to make sure that everything is prepared well in the kitchen and guests are very well served and look after properly.ravioli selections was delicious and tiramisu also tasted so good plus recommended Prosecco,my friend had it dish from polenta which is very characteristic of the cuisine of the Milano region,definitely will be back sometime next year.

I had read reviews so decided to find this place to try and so glad we did. It’s a little out of the way but so worth it. Traditional Italian food which was so good. Of course we had the risotto and the veal cutlet which was perfecto! House red was delicious and service was excellent. We did not have a reservation but they found us a table when it opened but it quickly filled up with locals so if your keen I would try and reserve a table especially if you have more than 2 people. Everyone seemed to be ordering the osso bucco so that was very popular. Highly recommend.

Coming here to eat felt like dying and going straight to heaven! I was looking for a cozy restaurant that locals go to and found this place located not far from Arco della Pace. After checking out the reviews I knew I was going to get their famous veal with risotto and some red wine and OMG it was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this place!

Everything was superb! The staff were really nice and the food was authentic. Thank you for a wonderful evening and delicious dinner!

This is a small cozy, formal dining style restaurant. The staffs didn’t speak much English, so it’s a little bit hard to request what you wanted. The menu has a lot of different interesting options that you can’t find anywhere in regular Italian restaurants. The food was decent and overpriced. The pork cutlet was undercooked. Everything was way overpriced plus the service charge €4/ person. The English soup dessert was really good and I would recommend that. The server was really nice.

A perfect trattoria in the centre of Milan. Delicious Milanese cuisine cooked by noona. The food was absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients. Multiple dishes were sampled including tortellini with pumpkin (absolutely light, perfect seasoning), monzese risotto with sausage, tagliatelle with wild boar, Milanese classic cutlet and multiple deserts. Each dish was perfect curated. The restaurant was cosy, well lit, very busy but service was efficient. One must definitely try this place if you are in Milan!

A must-visit destination in Milan. Great food, fresh and locally sourced, menu changes every months with lots of amazing Italian and international recipes. Great natural wines and cocktails. Chill and cool vibe every day of the week. And a special mention to the amazing staff!

My partner and I were looking for a nearby bar and we heard Bicchierrino had just opened recently, we called and booked a place for a bar and dinner, the lady gave us a place at the bar which was comfortable, i would've given 5 stars for food if the menu was bigger but it's understandable we ordered the Veggie toast and Feta, both were incredible, the staff was very friendly and they kept making sure everything was as we liked, the atmosphere is very cool and a great place to meet up with a group of friends and have bottle of wine perhaps. Very much recommended.

After spending five months in Milano, this bar is definitely my favorite and very close to my heart. Good vibes, tastefully decorated and very sweet owners and staff. The food and drinks are superb. Will miss coming here.

The place to be in Milan. Whether you’re planning a romantic date or a fun night out with friends, this spot has you covered. Martina and Stefania will make you feel right at home, serving up the best drinks in town and mouthwatering food. Love you Bicchierino ❤️

This place is such a gem in Milan! Amazing affordable food, atmosphere is sublime, very chill vibes, food is delicious and the WINES. Wow!

Best bar in Milan, hands down. Great food, amazing staff, great vibes. Trust me, don’t miss out.

had great time there, food and wine amazing, had a drink after dinner also great, service friendly and laid back, Def hip spot good for people watching. Design and lighting feels like not in italy

Sforzesco Castle in Milan is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the city. This massive fortress, once home to the powerful Sforza family, feels like stepping back into Milan’s Renaissance past. The architecture is stunning grand courtyards, towers, and red brick walls that still carry a sense of history and power. Inside, the castle houses several museums and art collections, including masterpieces by Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, making it much more than just a historical site. We were, however, quite disappointed to find that the Leonardo room was closed for renovation during our visit, as it’s one of the highlights of the collection and something we had really looked forward to seeing. Still, the rest of the museum and the castle grounds are beautiful, and you can easily spend a few hours exploring or simply wandering through the courtyards before heading to nearby Parco Sempione for a peaceful walk. Overall, it’s a wonderful place where Milan’s history, art, and elegance come together just be sure to book your tickets in advance since the queues are pretty long during weekends and holidays especially.

Beautiful and impressive place! You can explore the castle grounds for free, and it’s really nice to walk around. If you want to visit the museums inside, you need to buy a ticket. There’s also a big park behind the castle where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. A must-see when in Milan!

The Castello Sforzesco is a magnificent symbol of Milan, originally built by the Visconti and transformed by the Sforza family during the Renaissance. It offers a spectacular mix of commanding military architecture and refined artistic treasures. The sheer size of the castle and its vast courtyards, like the Cortile delle Armi, are impressive and free to explore, providing a dramatic step back in time. The castle is a vital cultural hub, housing several Civic Museums with world-class exhibits. The most essential highlights are: • Michelangelo's Pietà Rondanini, his profoundly moving final sculpture. • The Sala delle Asse, a unique trompe-l'œil fresco painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Stepping out from the castle’s rear, you enter the expansive Parco Sempione. This beautiful green space is the perfect place to relax after exploring the museums, offering plenty of spots to sit down, enjoy an ice cream or food, and unwind by the water or while strolling toward the Arco della Pace. The Castello Sforzesco is a complete package of history, high art, and leisure, making it a must-visit Milanese landmark.

Chose the free option so could only walk around the grounds but still a very impressive building. I believe a lot of the rooms are little museums and exhibitions. Definitely worth a visit whether you pay or not. Dates back to the 15th Century I think. Lovely fountain in front one of the entrances.

Really great walk even if you don’t visit the castle itself. Lots of different areas, I liked the fountain and the park the most as was a good walk in the Milan weather. It does get very busy though so watch out for any pickpockets but besides that great attraction to see.

Our family recently visited Sforza Castle (Castello Sforzesco) in Milan, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The castle is an impressive landmark that gives you a real sense of Milan’s history and culture. Built in the 15th century by the Sforza family, it still stands tall and well-preserved, surrounded by large courtyards, towers, and beautiful red-brick walls. We entered through the main gate and were immediately struck by how vast the place is. The atmosphere feels calm despite being in the middle of a busy city. You can walk around freely, and many areas are open to the public without any entry fee, which makes it great for families. The inner courtyards are perfect for children to explore safely, with plenty of open space to run around. Inside, the castle houses several museums and art collections. We started with the Museo d'Arte Antica, which displays sculptures, weapons, and furnishings from the Renaissance period. The Michelangelo’s unfinished Pietà Rondanini, located in a quiet section of the museum, is breathtaking and worth spending time to appreciate. Even if you are not an art expert, it’s a powerful piece to see up close. We also enjoyed the Pinacoteca, which holds paintings from Italian masters such as Mantegna, Bellini, and Canaletto. The rooms are well laid out, and the descriptions are clear in both Italian and English. Our son found the Archaeological Museum interesting, especially the Egyptian section with mummies and ancient artefacts. The staff at the ticket counter were helpful and provided a map that made it easy to plan which areas to visit first. The castle grounds are just as impressive as the exhibits. The large open spaces and brick courtyards make for great photo spots. Walking along the walls and through the arched passages gives you a real sense of the castle’s scale and history. The Torre del Filarete, the main tower, stands out beautifully against the skyline, and you can see it from various parts of the city. After exploring the museums, we took a leisurely walk through Parco Sempione, which sits directly behind the castle. It’s a peaceful green space with fountains, sculptures, and shaded paths. You can see the Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace) in the distance, adding to the scenic view. We stopped for gelato at a small kiosk and sat by the pond watching ducks, which was a lovely way to relax after walking through the castle. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, so it’s easy to combine your visit with lunch or coffee. The location is very convenient, within walking distance from the Cairoli metro station, and also close to Via Dante, a lively street filled with shops and eateries. We spent about three hours in total, though you could easily spend longer if you want to visit every museum in detail. For families, it offers a good mix of culture, history, and open-air space, so it never feels tiring or overwhelming. The castle grounds are stroller-friendly, and there are benches throughout for short breaks. One small tip: buy your tickets online in advance if you plan to visit on a weekend, as it can get busy. Entry to the courtyards is free, but the museums require a ticket. Prices are reasonable, and there are discounts for children and families. Our overall experience at Sforza Castle was excellent. It’s a perfect place for families who want to learn about Milan’s history in an engaging way. The combination of grand architecture, well-curated museums, and peaceful surroundings makes it one of the must-visit attractions in the city. Whether you are interested in art, history, or simply want a relaxing day outdoors, Sforza Castle offers all of that in one visit. Highly recommended for anyone travelling to Milan with family.

Castello Zforzesco Castle in Rho Such a hidden gem, that most people would deliberately go to, unless they already knew about it. A beautiful castle with wonderful architecture. A great water fountain to take superb pictures in front Of. I'm sure given the time, there would be so much history to uncover.

After visiting the gardens & the palace at Versailles these hold no match. But since one is in Milan good for a walk. The best thing was live music being played here & one can sit & watch.

Claiming the Milan’s equivalent of NY Central Park, it is huge and a lot people. And maybe better located, nearby Sforza castle is also one of Milan’s famous attractions, and so is the Arco Della Pace (Arch of Peace). It’s worth the walk around to see and feel Milan’s local atmosphere.

A magical place, especially in autumn. The trees dressed in warm colors look like something out of a dream, and there’s a pleasant, floral scent in the air. Walking through the park feels like stepping into a fairytale, peaceful, beautiful, and full of charm.

A very nice and large park area behind the Castle. Lots of greenery all around. We saw lot of people with dogs here for a walk. Nice place to get some good quality air and freshness. While there is nothing much to see here, it is just a good place to walk around.

The park is quite nice, big, with a lot of nice picnic spots. You can see ducklings, turtles, even fish in a pond. A few coffee shops inside offer a pleasant break in nature in the heart of Milan. What spoils the moment a little are dirt trails where bicycles raise a lot of dust. Overall, very nice place to visit and relax

Very nice park. I enjoyed that there were no queues or entry fees to access the outside of the castle. It was nice and cool inside so it was a good free shelter from the sun. The benches in the park are also comfortable. The castle has free to use toilets, although they were not the easiest to find and just happened to stumble across them.

Was raining 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 definitely won’t vist again. There was no place to sit down as all the benches were wet…. Very strange. Only go to this park if you like wet. Also the crowd were very mean to the squirrel: I have proof

🐠🪸🪼 A cute little aquarium! Good for all ages, including families with small children. The prawn tank, tropical fish area and tiny jellyfish were my favourites. The toads were also fun to see. The Spirografo (Mediterranean Fanworm) and anemones were really interesting to see up close. I think the shrimp tank also had a small hermit crab inside. Some more species I saw: trout, ray, eels, starfish, minnows, octopus, red scorpionfish, butterflyfish, angelfish, triggerfish, sponges, coral. And plenty more! (I think seahorses and terrapins/turtles would be a great addition too.) There are koi/carp in the hippo fountain outside. There are antique-style displays of shells which are nice to learn the names of. Assuming you turn left when you first enter, there is an underwater tunnel area at the end of your visit, where it's nice to watch the fish swimming overhead. There is also a vibrant photo exhibition near the entrance. It's about the world of fishing in places including Sicily, Ghana, and Tunisia. There's a video about it too. I'd recommend allowing 60-90 minutes for your visit. It's free to visit on the first Sunday of every month. The outside is really beautiful even if a little worn from age. The garden area has a pretty variety of wildflowers growing happily there. There are toilets available. Constructive criticism: Overall the aquarium needs a little upkeep as some areas are a bit shabby from age and use, but it is still a very nice spot to visit if you like aquatic life. A small shop area (with e.g. postcards, keyrings, magnets, stickers, books, natural jewellery, etc) would be a nice addition. Other aquariums I've visited have had such shop areas and they're fun. A small cafe could also work well, to sit in and be refreshed after your visit. Maybe downstairs and/or outside? Some tanks seem to me like they might be a little small or sparse for their inhabitants, such as the turbot - it would probably be nicer to have more swimming space available. I would give closer to five stars for my own experience but I think four stars is the fairest score overall. The staff members were friendly and helpful. Worth a visit! 🐟🐚🦐

Not so grand, a cute little place to see fish and other aquatic life close. Great place to visit with family. The place needs maintenance but still nice. If you buy 3 day or yearly museum card, you can visit here.

Nice small aquarium in the park for kids. One circle round of fish could probably completed in an hour. The fish are mainly from the nearby areas. The Milan card can also be used.

Not so big, but nice to see. Valuable for money, 10 EUR for 2+2 family. 30 minutes visit.

We had lots of fun, as I was with 5 kids and it wasn't crowded. Still this is a small place and isn't an attraction. If you are around drop by. Not more.

Free on the first Sunday of the month! The sights may be few, but the atmosphere is excellent..quiet and inspiring. So if you are passing by, come and take a look 🐟🐠🪸

Listen, I'm a person who loves aquariums. I would cross countries just to visit one. They are usually the highlights of my trip because I'm passionate about water in general. Having said that, I have to admit this is the most disappointing aquarium I've ever been to. It's not only that it's small (that's not an issue usually), but it's the fact that it feels so empty and outdated. According to the information there, it was a big deal when it opened a long, LONG time ago and while I can respect that it's still standing (and it's a good place to bring kids), it just feels mundane. Also, sure, you have to be realistic and know that people will not come to Milan for an aquarium, as there's a million different things to see and visit, so you can't expect it to stand above things like the Duomo, but that doesn't take the fact that it's as plain and dull as it can be. Go at your own risk. There's a high chance that you'll be dissapointed.

A local artisan, jeweler, sent us hear. Breathtaking views Oils Portraits. Various artists from the 1500 Bringing the words of the Bible to life. The experience was solem and reflective. Worth the walk. Be blessed: Not by idols Not by tradition Not by a religion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But live for and Follow the Lord Jesus Christ

Chiesa di San Maurizio sits right beside Milan's Archaeological Museum. Of the many frescos in the church that of Noah's Ark stands out for its originality. I do no think I have ever seen the seen of the animals boarding in pairs anywhere before. A this is not the only unique feature (at least to me), the church is divided with the clergy section in the front half of the church and the nun section in the rear half. Dividing the two is a wall, open to the front by a grating that allowed the nuns to hear the mass. Both halves are beautifully decorated with frescos.

16th Century Church depicting biblical themes which are fantastic. Free entry. Also there is entry to the house of the nuns which has a huge organ, very impressive. One of the best free things to do in Milan.

Hidden gem. The most beautiful church in Milan in my opinion. It is highly recommended to visit it and enjoy the beautiful artwork and hand made paintings on the wall and ceiling.

The most beautiful artistic tiles I've ever seen! A must-see if you're in milan! Also don't need to pay for the other museum this is free to enter but donations can be made in the church.

Free to enter and amazing to look at. Nearly every wall is adorned with frescos and there is also the nice melodic chanting music playing in the background which adds to the ambiance.

Located at Corso Magenta, 15, 20123 Milan MI, Italy 🇮🇹. This chapel is quite underrated because it doesn’t look as eye catching as the famous Milano Duomo. Once I walked inside though, I was struck by the sheer beauty of it. Everything in San Maurizio has colour, whether it’s paintings, mosaics or gold glitters everywhere. Nothing is uncovered by some form of colour including the pillars, ceilings and walls. The church is nicknamed the ‘Sistine Chapel’ of Milan. The church is located at what used to be the most important convent for women in Milan. The construction of this church took about fifteen years and took place in the sixteenth century. The building was split into two parts – one for the nuns and one for the faithful – and it was not until the end of the eighteenth century that this strict barrier disappeared. The church is not very big, but it’s definitely worth visiting. There’s no admission fee and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I am so glad I visited San Maurizio. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍👍

We tried but did not succeed in getting entry tickets for the Last Supper, which is opened for limited entries and are on high demand. However, we just wanted to be close to the artwork on our visit to Milan, and took chance to visit during the early evening on an almost full moon day. We did get the opportunity to get into the basilica and we were thoroughly impressed by the ambience, the artwork and the prayer that was happening on that Sunday evening. We peeped through the railings to feel the presence of one of the greatest artwork in history just on the other side of the wall we were standing against. A surreal feeling I must say.

Seeing The Last Supper in person is an unforgettable experience! Though the tickets are highly sought after, the woman at the front desk allowed my husband also to attend a viewing after our struggle trying to book two tickets online for our visit to Italy. The visit is brief, but incredibly moving, standing before one of Leonardo Da Vinci’s greatest masterpieces feels (almost) sacred. The details, the emotion in each figure, and the sense of history in the room is breathtaking. Though the viewing time is limited, it’s absolutely worth it to witness such an iconic work of art up close. A must see in Milan, don’t miss it!

The visit into the church ⛪️ is open to the public. You can walk in if it's not full. They ask that you dress respectfully. To see the Last Supper, you should by tickets in advance and bring a valid ID that matches the name on the ticket. They are very strict about this. There are two paintings once inside. It's easy to the a clear picture of the second as soon as you get in since all gravitate to the Last Supper. Impressive to see in person. Guides are good. No parking that I saw. We took a taxi 🚕 to get there and to leave. It's history and it's worth seeing. Enjoy!

I love this beautiful church! It is famous for the Last Supper’s exhibit but the church itself with the little garden in the middle of the court yard is so peaceful and spiritual. I love the Church’s shop too. This church has a great vibe about it. The church is always open and free But the exhibit required tickets well in advance!

The Dominican basilica is world-famous for housing Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece The Last Supper (L’Ultima Cena) in its refectory. Construction began in 1463 under the patronage of Duke Ludovico Sforza and was completed around 1497. The complex combines Early Renaissance design with Bramante’s distinctive centralized plan. The initial structure was designed by Guiniforte Solari, while Donato Bramante later reworked the apse and dome. Bramante’s additions—especially the circular choir and lantern—are regarded as defining examples of early Italian Renaissance architecture, uniting classical harmony with spiritual geometry.

We don’t get to go inside as it’s all booked up till a month when we inquired . The old castle is fascinating and we checked out the garden located in the side the castle. Check online about the tickets to see the last supper painting before going so you get disappointed like us.

An old basillica but the real importance of this building is to host The Last Supper painting by Leonarda Da Vinci in the dining hall wall. Reservation is must prior to coming. Sometimes the tickets are sold out 3 months before the visit.

You know when the gelateria is very good when there is a line outside. The flavors were amazing the pistachio and chocolate were rich and creamy, the passion fruit with mint was very sour, asking for a vodka 🤣 and the mango was sweet and fresh. Would come back any time for more.

There are so many gelato places. I decided to with this one because of the reviews. Salted caramel is too salty. The almond gelato was good and creamy. If they asked do you want cookie on top. Yes, I do. The service was good. You paid first than order. I would order anything that crema. There are benches outside for sitting down.

We went out of our path to see this place and it was worth it. The gelato was not as sweet as the other gelatos, which I do like because it doesn't mask the flavors. The one flavor I've seen here for the first time is the ginger one, which was very good and fresh. Recommended!

The ice cream was absolutely delicious! You can really taste that it’s made from natural ingredients — rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I tried the pumpkin, persimmon, and salted caramel — just incredible! Every scoop was pure delight.

Brilliant ice cream. Probably the best I’ve ever had. I got 3x scoop (dark chocolate, coffee, cookie cream). Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding gelato at Gelato Fatto Con Amore. Two extraordinary scoops: dark chocolate & lemon and dark chocolate & pistachio. Definitely in my personal top 5 gelaterie.

The recommendations were justified. It was worth the walk to this place. The ice cream is really great. I tried the salted caramel and almond. I would come back to try the other flavors :)

Authentic food and atmosphere. We sat outside, so keep in mind people next to you will most probably smoke and spaces between the tables are kept to a minimum. The main waiter was very accommodating and made the experience even better. We booked a table as it was Sunday evening, but if you eat earlier than locals there is no need for it.

Must must must visit! We came across here after searching for restaurants with the best tiramisu reviews - it did not disappoint! Atmosphere- honestly such a vibe, so beautifully decorated, very chilled out with outdoor seating available as well as indoor, and indoor is decorated beautifully. Great big mirror wall hiding the toilet which is a quirky way to design the place, as well as lots of wine bottles and art around. Service was fantastic, spoke great English, was very attentive with drinks and food recommendations and serving quite quickly over lunch too. Food - amazing. Simply amazing. Their sicilian pesto pasta was amazing, as well as their special porcini mushroom pasta, and their tiramisu is the perfeccttttt blend of cream & coffee without being super heavy. Definitely get one each because they get devoured. Would absolutely recommend anyone contemplating to visit, and to order the dessert!!

We really enjoyed this place. Honestly the atmosphere was a 10/10 and reminded me so much of my favorite restaurant back home. The staff was very accommodating and attentive to our table which I really appreciated. Incredible wine list with list of options to choose from. Now the food… I did enjoy the food but the highlight of our meal was the chocolate soufflé! The sea bass was a little overcooked and my husband’s steak was rare not medium rare and the sauce overpowered the steak but everything was really good.

We came with Milan local friend’s recommendation to experience local gourmet, first of all, we were served by a waitress who’s soooo friendly and hospitable. Cuisines are delicious and vibe is cozy and traditional. We enjoyed a lot an occasion, chatting with guests next tables with multi-languages and cultures. Unfortunately, I forgot to have a picture or contact with them. That would be the only regret and best memories of the night. And, interesting in chatting with restaurant people with Italian gesture: È così delizioso!

We had a great experience at La Libéra. The staff was friendly and welcoming. For starters, we shared a very good vitello tonnato, followed by the veal chop Milanese, which was excellent, and a special ravioli pasta that was also very tasty. To finish, the tiramisu was outstanding. We highly recommend this restaurant for both its food and service.

It was so fun to try the traditional dishes here. I tried the fiori di zucca, risotto salato, and for dessert the gelato al forno (which I'll be dreaming of)). It was truly delicious and the very kind waiter was happy to explain everything and give us some tips about the city itself. The atmosphere and furnishing was cozy, and very unique. Would highly recommend going here.

We went to this restaurant on the recommendation of our Airbnb host, and it was everything we wanted and more! The food was absolutely amazing - authentic, local, and full of flavour. The atmosphere felt truly Italian, and the hosts, including Domenico, were incredibly kind and welcoming. It was such a memorable dining experience - we can’t recommend it highly enough! Just go!!

Charming and welcoming spot. The cacio e pepe was delicious, though it could have used just a bit more sauce to make it perfect. The dessert selection was fantastic with plenty of variety and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. What really stood out was the staff which was incredibly polite, friendly and attentive.

The place is eclectic, vivid, with good food. The dishies are not groundbreaking but are very tasteful. We had Insalata di Fungi e Crescenza, Crocchette di Vitello Tonnato and Fazzoletti di Zucca. Insalata and Fazzoletti were great, Crocchette were a little basic. For dolci we luckily orderd just Souffle al Cioccolato, because it was huuge😅. We loved it. We enjoyed our dinner and are looking forward to coming back❤️

Very peculiar place, with a unique style. Very interesting spot to have dinner. The food was pretty good with strange but fine combinations. The service was amazing and efficient (even though one time the brought us still water instead of sparkling, but ofc it could happen). They were all kind and caring and very friendly. We enjoyed this service so much. The atmosphere is amazing, it seems to be teleported in another world.

The best birthday of my life! Simply amazing, first time in Milan and first time in this wonderful restaurant! We had a table for two during our reservation we asked to sit in the booths and the request was fulfilled! Wonderful food and amazing cocktails! The drinks menu is limited but we asked our waitress Martina for other classic cocktail options and she arranged! Everything amazing, wonderful food but the service of our waitress made a total difference in our night! We still had a free dessert for me the birthday boy, gratitude! I highly recommend it! The service fee is not included in the final bill so remember to add tips if you like the service.

Great design and vibe. The restaurant has 2 floors. We sat upstairs in a corner sofa. The burrata was delicious. The veal was thin but very juicy and the cacio a pepe was yummy. Interesting apple tart with great flavors.

A charming and delightful restaurant with attentive service. We started with the Crocchette di Vitello Tonnato, followed by the Pappardelle Ragù Bolognese and the Cacio e Quattro Pepi — both flavorful and beautifully presented. The cacio pasta was slightly firmer than expected, requiring a bit more bite, but overall, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable. We finished with the Tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet ending to a lovely meal.

While parts of our meal were good our overall opinion of Gloria was that it disappointed. The veal croquettes with tuna sauce were dry and made me feel for the calf. Risotto Funghi was good but a few mushrooms along with the flavorful sauce would need appreciated. Desserts were outstanding in size and taste. The decor is special but much more so for downstairs tables. This is an upscale formulaic restaurant that suffers from that reality.

An absolutely outstanding restaurant with an incredible waiter who looked after us exceptionally well. We handed over control of the menu to this trusted professional, and what followed was a feast to remember. Starters included thinly sliced veal with tuna mousse that was simply out of this world, alongside cooked artichoke and Parma ham served with big, juicy figs. Next came the pasta course, with four of us sharing two plates – one featuring the sweetness of pumpkin, the other cooked in a beautifully reduced veal broth. Both were exceptional. For mains, we enjoyed one of my personal favourites – veal escalope – as well as another veal dish cooked in a rich bone broth. Although we could hardly manage it, three desserts arrived: an excellent tiramisu, some ice cream with aa alcoholic sauce and a third dessert that was quite simply one of the best I’ve ever eaten – though I can’t remember exactly what it was. Suffice to say, you dipped slices of panettone into this indulgent dish and almost licked the pattern off the plate. We paired everything with some excellent Cretan wines – a clean and crisp white, a slightly chilled Pinot Noir, and a fantastic dessert wine. A truly magnificent experience. We will be back!

Nice atmosphere and good service from the wait staff. The food was good, had the risotto and veal cutlet. Located in a lane way so would be quite easy to miss. Only complaint would be the music player where we felt pressured to give money to.

I had the risotto alla Milanese and my daughter had the pasta with ragù. The restaurant had a local feel, but the food itself wasn’t particularly extraordinary in terms of taste. When I walked in, the staff didn’t seem very welcoming. The tiramisu was large and filling, a nice way to end the meal.

The wait staff was friendly and very encouraging with questions about the menu. The food was great, and the spot was recommended to us by locals for good reason. Make a reservation or get in line before opening.

My first visit in Milan then my husband brought me in Trattoria Milanese restaurant. My first impression of the restaurant was very quiet and the staffs are very accomodating. The food here is perfectly cooked. It was very delicious. 10 out of 10.

What a wonderful restaurant! The atmosphere is absolutely charming — warm, cozy, and full of character. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel truly welcome from the moment you walk in. And the food… simply delicious! Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. I can’t recommend this place enough!

A great place to experience traditional Milanese food. The osso bucca was especially fantastic. The affagato was an incredible way to end the meal and pick up some energy for after lunch activities. It was the best ever. Good array of well priced local wines too. It is true that some of the staff is not particularly welcoming to those without a reservation or the whit to decode a very simple Italian menu, but I'm not sure that is all bad if it keeps out some of the more obnoxious tourists. Seemed to be mostly Italians when we visited.

Great place in the business district of Milan. The combination of modern buildings and parks provides a great experience. Lots of shopping opportunities in the shops. If you are in Milan, check it out.

Vibrant, with shops, grocery store (Esselunga) and lots of people, this is a very nice area. I have been told that at night it's safe, as long as you don't use the passage that takes you to the metropolitana (that is the unsafe place to cross).

Seen this place many times as I have been here since they constructed this place as a local, it has changed throughout the time. The place has become more forgotten in maintenance etc but still nice, it doesn't have the same charme as in the past, plus it has become a very dangerous place full of bad people that sell drugs and assault women. Be aware, do not come alone once it is dark or don't come here at all in the evening.

Very interesting To see the huge buildings. We had a lovely coffee at a little cafe in the piazza. Local car parking available also its accessed via an under tunnel entry point. We however didnt go to see the piazza we went off the side into the area where the other shops and restaurants were for a meal on a couple of occasions.

The city planning was impressive and the surperb architectural design of building provides a high quality of living standard as well as work live balance. But this venue lacks of toilet facilities for public access.

While it may lack the old-world charm of Brera or the soul of the Navigli, Piazza Gae Aulenti stands as a testament to Milan’s bold embrace of style and innovative architecture—a striking parenthesis of modern design in a city steeped in history and culture.

Opened in 2012, this modern urban square is named in honor of architect and designer Gae Aulenti. It was designed by the American firm Pelli Clarke & Partners, led by César Pelli, as the centerpiece of the Porta Nuova redevelopment project. Built atop a raised podium, the circular plaza features three synchronized fountains that combine light, music, and playful water effects. Some surrounding structures also incorporate solar panels and pocket fabric elements for environmental efficiency. Framing the square is Milan’s contemporary skyline, including Italy’s tallest building — the UniCredit Tower (231 m) — as well as Bosco Verticale and Torre Diamante.

This is one of the most popular churches in Milan (after the Duomo and Santa Maria della Grazie), and for a good reason, as it is one of the oldest and beautiful churches in the city, also consecrated to its most beloved saint. The architecture we see is mostly of 11-12th centuries (or earlier) with minimal alterations. The most beautiful part of the church is the Oratory of San Vittore in Ciel d'Oro, with amazing 5th century mosaics and small adjasent museum (requires a small fee to enter). There is also 13th century mosaic in apse (although heavily restored), intricately carved Romanesque pulpit, and many other artistic miracles inside.

Magnificent. Most tourists come to Milan for the Last Supper. Please take some time to witness the simplicity of this Basilica. Peaceful, reflective, restorative.

The Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio is one of the most important historical sites in Milan and absolutely worth a visit. Built in the 4th century, it is one of the oldest churches in Italy and one of the first established in Milan when Christianity was newly spreading through the Roman Empire. You feel that history immediately when you walk into the courtyard and see the early Christian architecture that has survived for more than 1,600 years. The interior is solemn and beautifully preserved, with a mix of Romanesque and early Christian elements that give the basilica a very distinct character. The golden altar, the crypt of Saint Ambrose, and the mosaics are all highlights. Despite its importance, the basilica remains calm and not overly crowded, which makes the visit even more enjoyable. It is an essential stop for understanding Milan’s early history and the foundations of Christianity in the region.

It is located near the metro station and well preserved. The mosaic behind the ciborium is splendid. Paintings are fabulous.

One of the most important medieval churches in northern Italy, the basilica was originally founded between 379 and 386 by Sant’Ambrogio (Saint Ambrose) as the Basilica Martyrum, dedicated to early Christian martyrs. The current Romanesque structure was built between 1088 and 1099, with further additions including the left bell tower and later architectural enhancements. The basilica suffered damage during the 1943 bombings, particularly to its mosaics and ceiling, and was carefully restored in the 1950s. The complex features a beautiful quadriportico, the Monks’ Tower (9th century, left side), and the Singers’ Tower (12th century, right side). Near the entrance stands the Devil’s Column, a Roman column marked with two holes — said by legend to be the imprint of the devil’s horns after a failed attempt to tempt Saint Ambrose. Each December, the basilica hosts the traditional Oh Bej! Oh Bej! Christmas market, held for centuries during the feast of Saint Ambrose.

If you are into the gory aspects of the catholic church this place is for you. Martyrs, crypts, and decomposed bodies. All for free. There is also a lot of history about Milan and the role this site has played in Milan's development.

Beautiful old church with tons of history—quiet, peaceful, and a great spot to step back in time right in the middle of Milan.

Great experience! The museum is cured, the people are kind. Amazing view of the Duomo!!! Amazing collection of art, there is a little room all dedicated to Fontana.

Fantastic art space. The gallery impresses not only with the works of art, but also with the interior design of the space. The curators have done their job. You are transported through the different periods imperceptibly. There are signs and employees everywhere who explain where you should go so that you don't wander around the halls. From here there is one of the best views of the Duomo. The ticket price is impressive - €5, for what you will find inside.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in XX century italian art. The exhibition, largely created with donations and custodianships, presents notable art from the early century's Futurism and modernist movements up to graphical and conceptual art of the late nineties.

Beautiful museum that helps you to know more about the Italian art context of the 20th century. Also, the building is interesting and gives you an exeptional view of Duomo and the place in front of it, above the tourists' crowds. The entry price is surprisingly affordable compared to other museums and highlights of Milan, 5€ only. I highly recommend the place 😍

Museum of important works of art of the XXth century mostly Italian, in a beautiful building. Boccioni, Severini, Carra, Balla, Fontana, Picasso and other well known artists. It has a restaurant with interesting dishes on the 3rd floor to enjoy a cup of coffee or a delicious meal overlooking the Duomo

The best view for the square and the cathedral. The collection is impressive and organized very beautifully in the building. The price is also very attractive for low budget travellers.

Very nice museum, I don't know if admission is always free, but on Sundays I think it is. From the top floor there are incredible views of the cathedral. The elevator is only for workers

The Pinacoteca di Brera is one of Milan’s true cultural treasures, a magnificent gallery filled with some of Italy’s most iconic masterpieces. The collection is extraordinary, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Mantegna beautifully displayed in elegant, spacious rooms that let you really take in each painting. During our visit, there was an incredible temporary exhibition by Giorgio Armani, and it was absolutely fascinating. Seeing these stunning dresses and impeccably tailored suits displayed alongside centuries-old masterpieces created such an impressive juxtaposition, fashion and fine art in a dialogue that felt perfectly Milanese. It was inspiring to see how elegance and creativity transcend time and medium. The museum itself is a delight to explore, with a calm atmosphere and thoughtful curation. Whether you’re an art lover or simply looking for a refined experience in Milan, the Pinacoteca di Brera is not to be missed. It’s a place where history, style, and artistry meet beautifully.

Really lovely place, I've enjoyed it. They're currently also featuring a collection of pieces of Giorgio Armani. I recommend ordering tickets online. The museum only lets you in according to the time assigned on your ticket. When you get there, there are two ticket machines - if you choose to try those, they can make it seem like there are tickets available, but then show you a connection error. If that happens - pick the next time slot. Also, we ordered online, got a mail which we thought was a confirmation email, looked like a confirmation email - but told us our payment failed. So, check the email closely, if you're ordering online. We ended up waiting in the cafe upstairs for an hour - not too bad. Staff was very nice. There's also an elevator in the back. And bring a euro coin for the lockers - you'll have to put you stuff away. Good art, if you're with kids, you can play a game with them of finding all the dogs in the pictures - very fun.

This is one of Italy’s three most important art galleries, renowned for its exceptional collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, particularly from northern Italy. The museum occupies a former Jesuit college designed in the 14th century and later remodeled by Francesco Maria Richini in the Neoclassical style. Established in 1809 by order of Napoleon as the central art museum of the Kingdom of Italy, it followed the model of the Louvre in transforming religious and aristocratic collections into public heritage. Located in Milan’s Brera District—now filled with art schools, galleries, and design studios—it remains a vibrant center of artistic life.

The library right at the entrance was very beautiful. The gallery is full of Jesus paintings which are all quite similar. If you are into that it will be interesting, but otherwise there are better galleries in Milan. At the time we went there was an exhibition of Armani suits which were exquisite so that made it worth the visit. The price for youth is very affordable, 2e.

The place is nice, good prices for ages of 18-25. The audio guide is interesting and explains the artistic significance of the paintings. But, all the paintings are of the suffering of Jesus, which is depressing. I do not recommend going with children, and for adults above 26 I don’t think the price is worth the experience, the gallery is small and the collection is decent but not huge. The bathrooms are not well maintained.

One of the most important painting-art museums for the medieval and early modern Era periods in İtaly. Prior to visit, the most critical masterpieces should ve revewed for better understanding. The musuem hosts approximatelly 500 selected artworks. The exhibition is located in upper level floor of the building. There is also a museum cafe to take a rest with croissant-cappucino as well.

One of the hidden gems of Milano. The building itself is stunning and apart from the pinacoteca, it also houses the University of Belle Arts, a botanical garden and much more. In the pinacoteca, you can get lost for hours admiring the works the many famous italian artists.

Excellent botanical garden in central Milan. Within walking distance of various attractions. Convenient location. Small but a very attractive place to spend some time. An hour tops is enough. A few places to sit and relax. Good range of plants in a compact space. Fragrant. Small water features. Free to enter. Surrounded more or less by buildings, which adds to the atmosphere.

Beautiful small garden with many diverse plants. you won't believe that you are in the middle of a bustling city. However, the entrance was a bit tricky to find.. The neighborhood is also very quaint and fun to explore or sit at a cafe and be around the very chic residents of Milan.

Nice quiet garden in Milan where you can go sit and relax for a bit, there are benches and chairs around. Free entry and there is an entrance/exit directly to a street so you don’t have to walk back through the building.

A peaceful oasis in the heart of Milan, the Brera Botanical Gardens offer a lovely escape from the city’s hustle. The garden is small but beautifully maintained, with a charming variety of plants and flowers. Some areas could use clearer signs, but overall it’s a relaxing and inspiring place to visit.

After coming out of the Pinacoteca di Brera this garden is the perfect place to once again accumulate to the outside world.

Was a nice place to escape the chaos of the city and enjoy some greenery. Free entry! There are free bathrooms and benches to sit and enjoy.

I went on rainy monday morning, it was quiet and very nice experince.

Wonderful experience! We had a table at the balcony area overlooking the Milan cathedral and the cathedral Square. The Dorothy cocktail (martini base) is recommended. Excellent dishes. The risotto was very tasty. Each dish served beautifully This is a place for a special evening in Milan

We went here when we traveled to Italy for our honeymoon. My husband accidentally made a reservation for their sister restaurant down the street, thinking it was this restaurant. They were nice about it and we were able to still get a seat near the window. Everything I ate here I enjoyed greatly. I loved their Ohana drink and their risotto. My husband also enjoyed the pasta he ordered. We had great views of the Duomo, and it was very cool to see at night.

Great place for lunch with good views. Each person needs to order a main course as minimum. Good food, we love the Tortellini cacio e pepe, lobster ravioli, risotto alla milanese and steak. Great service from our waiter. They speak English for visitors who can't speak Italian. Price may be on the pricey side. But what do you expect from a restaurant by the Duomo?

Wonderful experience that made our Milan trip even more memorable. We booked a terrace table with a Duomo view and luckily got the last window seat with the view. Staff were very friendly and patient despite our limited Italian, and both managers made us feel welcome. Food exceeded expectations for a tourist spot — especially the beef tartare and pasta. Would love to return on a sunny day to enjoy the outdoor terrace!

If you want a lunch with a view, this is the place to be. Welcoming staff, and beautiful location. The food is good, and it came fairly quickly, which is always appreciated. I recommend you try it, if you're in the area and want to make your lunch time memorable.

All my stars go towards the beautiful view and restaurant set up they have at this place. It is difficult to find as it’s inside the museum, once you get there they don’t coat check they seat you right away, and you’re made to wait 10 minutes before being greeted by a waiter or waitress. My fine dining courses showed me this place values none of the customs a fancy upscale restaurant should hold. We had the terrace seating with Duomo view which was spectacular!! The surrounding area was gorgeous as well. However, restaurant doesn’t polish the glasses, they allow dogs that are clearly not health support animals at tables in their owners laps, while others are eating. The food options are close to what you’d see in France so all raw and fish, and the service is bad too, 10 minute wait for a greeting from waiter, 10 minutes wait for wine, 20 min wait for bread and somehow a 5 minute wait for our undercooked (far passed al dente) pasta.. It was obvious our waitress was extremely busy as she tended to all guests in the terrace herself. Which unfortunately leads to tables being under serviced, like ours. Wil go back, but I suggest for cocktails and starter plates only as prolonged service was not good. Totally worth the visit and the Duomo was in perfect view at night. Over $100 spent on 2 starters and 2 wines just fyi

Visit with two adults and a 5-year-old and 2-year-old child. It was a space where sunlight did not come in, so the outdoors was very cold even it was really shiny day, and the waiting time for food was very long. The truffle tartare was soso, the tomato pasta was too undercooked(it's not al dente, it's just undercooked) and didn't even sprinkle parmesan cheese. I ordered 120 euro per kg today's fish because they recommended, but their cooking skills are so poor that it tastes better to grill it at home. I ordered Sea Bass, but it came out without the skin. It seems they burned it so they had to remove the skin. They recommended ordering 2kg from a family of four with two young children, so I ordered only 1kg, but they forcibly gave & charged us 1.5kg worth 180 euros, and there were too much that they couldn't put it in one plate, so it came out in two plates. It was the worst that the fish bones were not even properly removed. Moreover we received later than other tables that came late. Lastly, mushroom and chips we've ordered was salty as hell, so I had to wash it on all over the plate to eat it. Actually we could not eat them because it's too salty. It is a place where food and service are severely low compared to price, and waiter was so much untrustful. Please don't listen to the recommendation, it's just a place for nice view. I don't review mostly but I paid 318 euro and ruined all day, Gracie!

The food is not especially bad. It was also not especially good. Sort of bland but filling. Given the amount of fresh veggies in the spring in Milano, having overcooked asparagus was a disappointment. Not a disaster. The almost surly and smile-less service convinced me that I never want to go there again. Might be a good choice for a vegan. But given the amount of choices in this city I know one can do better

A very tasty vegetarian option in the middle of Milan. Not far from the main attractions and reasonably priced. Booking is recommended.

Very small place but quite nice, I didn't have a reservation but the waitress was very nice and cleaned a table for me as I was by myself I didn't know what to order so I tried the "Misto Forno" with a mix of 4 dishes and it was really good for 18€ Honestly considering that it's a vegetarian restaurant in the very center of Milano the prices aren't too bad, and it was very tasteful and perfect portion for me

Mini vegetarian restaurant in central Milan. This small location has focused on the quality of the raw materials and the gluttony of the customers who are fascinated by what is on the menu: from appetizers to plateaus ... We have chosen a mixed grill and roast plateau with a good wine from Piedmont. The staff was very kind and helpful. Good the bottle of red wine we've choosed. A little pricey (check 3 stars for this) but it's worth it. We will be back 100%

Awesome good and delicious food, really nice people and you don’t have to wait for long - definitely worth a second visit 😃. Don’t get irritated by the interior - food is great!

We ate at this place twice during our trip to Milan because the service and food was so nice. Service was very attentive and great English, with English menu provided too. Lovely place if you’re vegetarian in Milan, looking for good prices too!

Lovely place! Cosy atmosphere, delicious vegetarian food, good wine, very friendly service - a real gem! We stumbled upon the place, having left our previous choice which had 40 min waiting time. In the end we were happy we got to discover this place instead! Highly recommend to vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

We liked the food but we were very surprised when we saw a charge of 6 euros for service that did not include bread or any appetizer. The waitress was not very friendly either.

Nice atmodphere, but the food was a bit fatty for my taste. I had the Pizzoccheri and after half of it, i coulfn't eat. My other frend had Taroz(some mash potateos with cheese) which was delicous. We managed to order in english and a bit o Italian.

The waiter was super helpful in making us undestand the menu, he even gave us samples before ordering, very accomodating and patient. The food was also AMAZING, we really enjoyed our meal.

So welcoming and kind! They let me sample the polenta and did a half order of something for me. Ravioli was amazing. Dessert was incredible. So happy I randomly Came across this place on my visit to Milan!

We really like recommendations of waiter who helped us in choosing dishes. We really liked the Sciatts (puffs filled weigh melted cheese) and the Pizzoccheri (buckwheat pasta). Dishes are must to try! Don’t forget getting a dessert as well such as blueberry cake ;)

Cute little courtyard themed restaurant with great food and service. The two servers we had were both capable of taking orders in English. Definitely recommend.

Great little place we stumbled across! The sciatt cheese balls are delicious, and the polenta our group split was TO DIE for! I've never had such a cheesy polenta with a fantastic cornmeal flavor, and it wasn't oily or greasy in the slightest! I had the ravioli as my main dish, and it was also fantastic. Very cheesy, spinachy, and nice soft, but firm ravioli. The only thing kind of disappointing was the dessert. The menu listed a homemade caramel, but really it was a flam with a caramel sauce, and I'm just not a big fan of flan in general. Absolutely would go back if possible!

Overrated and expensive for what it is. If you're a food connoisseur, this restaurant will likely disappoint. I’m genuinely confused by the 5-star reviews and its inclusion in the Michelin Guide. We came for an à la carte dinner and ordered several popular items as suggested; three starters, two mains, and four wines. Unfortunately, the dishes were overly salty, and lacked freshness. The so-called “seafood” udon was undercooked and had minimal, shriveled bits of seafood that I had to dig for - very misleading. Portions were small, and while the service was friendly, it was also quite slow. For the price, the experience feels unjustified - the quality simply doesn’t match the hype or the cost. If I’m paying a premium price, I expect premium food.

I visited recently and the experience the team at Bentoteca provided was nothing short of astounding. I felt very welcome and well looked after. If you enjoy the theatre of watching the chefs at work, then reserve a seat at the counter which faces into the kitchen! I opted for the omakase menu and the sommelier selection wine paring. Everything I was served was brilliant. Artfully plated, with the quality of the ingredients shining through from start to finish. Be prepared, as the omakase is a LOT of food but if you have a decent appetite, it’s entirely worth going for this. Grazie mille for the superb experience!

It was a great dining experience here! We had the omakase menu and every dish was chef’s kiss! The 2 rounds of starters were fabulous! We love every tuna dish and the chicken & eel skewer too! Service was really remarkable, very personable and friendly! Will definitely visit if I am ever in Milan again.

We got so excited to visit Bentoteca after some recommendations online, but only to leave really disappointed. I don’t want this review to take away from the good dishes we did have, as well as the service which was brilliant. The wine offering was wonderful, with multiple choices given and a full in depth description of each bottle expertly given by the wait staff. The wine was complex as stated and one of the best bottles I’ve had in Milan. We ordered 4 shared starters between us and a main each as recommended. We started with a Tuna Tartare which wasn’t to my wife’s taste but I enjoyed it. She isn’t a big sushi fan so this wasn’t taken in to consideration when reviewing, it is what it is, we try things. The second course arrived which was a chicken Karaage. This was again, very good! Third course was a Wagyu Sando which was easily the best part of the meal. The other starter we ordered was the mushrooms. For reference we absolutely adore mushrooms in every form. If there’s a mushroom dish on the menu there might be 2 orders of it going in. Big mushroom people. The mushrooms didn’t remotely meet the criteria that this restaurant is supposed to set out. They were chewy, lacked flavour and generally had an unwelcoming texture. I’d argue they were a little chunky for the dish? I hope that makes sense. This takes us to the main. I ordered the Wagyu with Monfish liver. It was solid enough but not outstanding. Lacked something but not remotely enough to complain about. I did enjoy it to a degree. 40 euros for a small main like this stung but look, it wasn’t bad it is what it is. Then that leads me to my wife’s tuna steak. I’m not one to complain. If I am I’ll likely leave 5 stars and say ‘this is what I’d prefer’ or ‘this is what I’d hope would be better’ and appreciate things could be worked on. This was one of the worst Tuna steaks I’ve ever tasted. The quality was so poor and I appreciate we’re near the dolomites in Italy, but it seriously lacked the level I was expecting here. My wife initially tasted and turned her face, and admittedly I thought she had maybe put herself off after the very first course, but this was far from the case. To us a tuna steak should come out a little pink and be very meaty in taste but this was the most ‘fishy’ tasting tuna I’d ever tasted. Think John West style tuna taste. It was grey, and arguably tasted a bit old. We complained and the waiter passed on our message. We ate possibly 1/3rd of it. The bill arrived and the tuna was still on the bill, which was a little disappointing. When we complained we made sure to let the staff know that it was our only gripe (I did mention the mushrooms but if the tuna was good I’d imagine I’d have said nothing) and yet still it was on there. We apologised to the waiter for the fuss (he was lovely, no qualms there), and made our way to the front. The member of staff at the front apologised and took €15 from the €230 bill and let us know that the tuna was ‘frozen today’ but he would have to charge us. These things happen. The chef’s in that kitchen will know significantly more about food and cooking than I ever will, and mistakes do happen But when I go to a restaurant that has been hyped up as much as this, that is literally known for its tuna dishes, and receive something that poor, I can’t help but mention it. A real shame. Hopefully others have a better experience than we did.

People here know what they doing and they do it very well, it’s been years and still is my favorite. Bentoteca likes to yolk together consistencies and textures such as that of marinated cow heart and tuna chiai (in picture), or that of bone marrow and fermented shrimps, a masterpiece of their menu. I also really appreciate the use of every part of the tuna which is present in many cuts, I had the tuna head with giardiniera is really a sweet treat. The price is Milanese price but I had a big lunch given the skills of the team - which is very nice to watch at work from the counter - the wine selection and the menu as an evident research with a solid file rouge. It is a satisfaction to go eat there. This is the place I suggest to friends but also where I go when I want to gift myself a dinner. Thank you!

I’m ABSOLUTELY amazed by this restaurant !!! All of the staff are friendly, welcoming and professional for asking my food allergies in advance. The atmosphere is relaxing and even for dining alone (not all Michelin restaurants are friendly and good arrange to solo diner) The nature wine pairing is awesome as some bottle of them are not easily found in Milan. Overall, it’s way more higher than the average. I been trying a lot of Michelin restaurants and few could make me not feel greasy, the chef’s pairing from first course to dessert are totally fresh. Best Japanese restaurant I ever had in Milan, love it so much🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’ve been here many times. Food is delicious! Really love their negitoro and their chicken and eel skewers. The menu changes based the seasonal ingredients. I recommend to try 3-4 dishes to share and then a main course each
