Quite good food. Authentic menu. Fair prices. Service omg so unfriendly. The staff does not even try at all to be pleasant. If you are looking only for good food not nice atmosphere, it is ok. Ambiance pretty bad as well.

A local who owns a gallery in town (www.africacurio.com) recommended Osteria dei Poeti to us and was even kind enough to make reservations for us. Reservations are recommended as it is a small place and it fills up quickly especially at dinner time. The food was delicious, fresh and good. The hostesses were very attentive and it was evident that... More

We went in for lunch. This is not the place to try out refined cuisine or high end cooking. The prices are, for what you get, excellent. The choices are limited but thats ok. We had as primi the spaghetti with tuna, which were good, and as mains, the grilled steak. Excellent. And the salad with toasted bread, not bad,... More

Nothing fancy, but simple good italian recipes, nice people and very reasonable prices. But do not expect to find a table without a reservation. l saw at least four groups come and be turned away in a half hour. I particularly like the piadina, portafoglio, and all excellent homemade desserts.

This is an old-fashioned trattoria in Corso Garibaldi, in the Brera district, not far from the Brera art gallery, and is quite small so it fills up very quickly. I recommend either arriving at 12.00 for lunch or booking a table. They have a good selection of traditional dishes and I particularly enjoyed the home-made desserts, such as "torta di... More

A friend of mine suggested me this small family business "trattoria" and he was completely right. Much better to book as they have only few tables and many customers every night. As starter we had Parma prosciutto and Squaquerone (fresh cheese) with homemade "piadina" (a kind of thin and soft white pizza) served still warm: it was simply delicious! Then... More
