The restaurant has a good selection of seafood dishes and accompanying wines. The prices are consistent with the quality. The staff is warm and courteous. The Primonovecento seems to enjoy a good following among locals. The meal is topped off with a platter containing a varied selection of desserts including fresh fruits and chocolate fondue. My wife did not eat... More

Have been there several times and always found good food and service. But the special feature is the location: wall covered with old picture (mainly naked girls remembering the old brothel located in the building), original furniture and details from early 1900. It is like to make a journey in the past. Very good the 'padellata di pesce" and the... More

Go the other way. There is a Turkish Kebap place with polite helpful gentlemen who will serve you good food at a good price. This place served us half cooked lobster and linguini for exorbitant prices. Save your money and your pepto.

Primonovecento Osteria is a very fine restaurant that knows how to treat its customers well. It's just around the corner from the Enterprise Hotel where we were staying in Milan. Decor is warm, with lots of interesting pictures of old Italy. Service was attentive; English language menus were available. There's lots of generosity here. A 5 Euro cover buys you... More
