The concierge desk at the Westin Palace Hotel suggested this place for lunch, and I was very happy that I followed their advice. I was exhausted because I arrived in Milan that day, and my table in the sunny outdoor area was far enough away from my neighbors that I felt I could decompress, yet not fall asleep because I...

We were there with 4 adults and 5 children ( one was just 1 year old baby) . We had no idea what to eat but the waiter just ask us what we like to eat usually and he just offered us some things. We could choose from his recommendation from that night. Everything was tasty! The service was absolutly... More

I don't know all the restaurant of the city but this one was very good. The meat "Firenze" was delicious and very tender. The service was "italian style" but always polite. I would definitely return when I have the opportunity.

Following the suggestion of our hotel, we chose Ristorante Antica Osteria Stendhal for the Christmas Eve dinner. We were not disappointed. The menu offers the right variety of choices, showing that they take good care of what they bring to your plate (not like some over-touristic trattorias with 20- page menus). Make sure you taste the beef fillet (main course)... More

Listen to the advice waiters have on the food selection! Pasta with pesto as well as lamb chops was an excelent choice. It's a traditional Milanese cuisine, nothing too fancy, but if you are looking for conventional nice dinner place, it is a must. The restaurant has been mentioned in the Michelin guide - no wonder why!

We loved our meal, the food was fantastic. It is a traditional Milanese restaurant, with a nice crowd. A good recommendation from the hotel. Located close to La Scala, I imagine they get a good opera crowd here. however, the night we were there, it was very crowded andntheservice was terrible. No one ever came to check on us to... More

We dined at Stendhal at the suggestion of our hotel's front desk staff and were not disappointed. The weather was lovely and we sat in the outdoor seating area. We were fortunate to get a reservation at the last minute, as the restaurant did good business that night, especially outdoors. Service was nonetheless very attentive and our waitress spoke English.... More

We were entertaining a local couple on a Saturday for lunch, and the Park Hyatt concierge recommended this place as I wanted quality Milanese cuisine. Everything from the "Millefoglie di melanzana" (which made the two wives almost climax) to the gnocchi and ravioli to the second plates was great.

We were in Milan just for a night and asked the concierge for a real local dine, and he reserved an outside table at this venue. Was a great dinner! Food was great and well served! Just be carefull not to overorder the italian way. I definitely recommend it!

I sometimes return to this restaurant when I want something special for dinner. Fish, meat, wine, bread...everything is good with very calm atmosphere. I recommend you to take dessert which is called Merenghe con cioccolata calda. fabulous! メレンゲのケーキは絶対に食べてください!!おいしい!!
