While walking by Brera's many little restaurants nothing really struck me until I passed by L'osteria... I was immediately drawn in, mostly due to the contagious smiles of the extremely friendly staff. Plus the seafood plates I witnessed sealed the deal for me. The food was great, atmosphere was great, staff were fantastic, They got the biggest tip I had... More

Just as we were getting used to rude, non-caring Milanese (food everywhere still good) we had a most lovely evening and fabulous food in the Brera neighborhood. The woman who took care of us, Antonella, was happy, helpful and most attentive. She made our evening. The food was great too. Branzino perfect, pasta perfect and atmosphere of restaurant and neighborhood... More

It il located in Brera-the famous touristic zone. Good italian food and the most important thing-that it works all the day long, not only in lunch and dinner time.

I think I've gone there at least once a week for the past 8 months and I don't get tired! Love the simplicity and deliciousness of the food and the people there know exactly what excellent service is. Go! Try the rissoto fruti di mare...enjoy!

Very good service, excellent quality food (the steak was amazing!). I did not pay the bill so don't know about the prices. What I can say was that the service was very good and unintrusive, the food was excellent (the sauces were rich and again the meat was top quality). Good ambience and nice setting with good character.

Bad place to eat, we came here after Alla Scala Performance, we were serviced by 4 waiters and they all did very poor job, we felt like they do not understand our English and not welcomed our attempts in Italian. TAking orders from us, while talking to another customers sound like normal thing here, and orders were not accurate after... More
