Deep Milano

#67−2016:
Help me rate this review, if you will…
My Unilocal-​buddy (José) needed to break the ice with the Milan community so we decided to meet for drinks here on a Thursday night @19:00 (we made sure we reserved a slot). Upon arrival I was MESMERIZED. This location is AMAZING, every tiny detail is right on point, from the bar in the middle of the main room, to the brilliant color of the ingredients, from the multiple fruits nicely displayed and within reach to be knowingly incorporate in cocktails to the décor.
I look around and find José already waiting. We meet and greet briefly and then the head barman comes to ask what we’re in the mood for. We hesitate and that is when he guides us to this incredible list of specials he has memorized. I choose passion fruit vodka and (for the life of me remember what else but it was SUBLIME). José asks for exactly he is in the mood for and with a bit nipped here and a bit tucked there, the barman finds the exact combo for him too.
Whilst we wait we notice: the table is too close to the end of the bar on one side and too close to the table that runs all along the length of the bar (with the risk of banging your head against it or against costumers)…
As soon as the cocktails arrive we look like kids in as candy store… snap our pics and start sipping an orgasm of flavors… YES I am soon happy!
Then here come 3 plates that look divine… snap some more pics and… upon tasting the food we realize that NONE OF it is fresh… I mean, bread in a Bruschetta that is not fresh is heresy. parfaits that aren’t fresh are such a disappointment, olive ascolane that aren’t even remotely sorta kinda warm? Fuggedboutit! Potato scones… cold as well…
The coppa was pretty good BUT the bread was stale…
The only decent food was the sweet part (cookie with crema pasticcera and cheese with honey).
I don’t mind paying 10 € for a truly amazing cocktail, but unless your food is TOP NOTCH, do not offer it to costumers… it will ruin their whole experience…
So, are my 3 stars enough? It would be 2.75…

We loved this place! It has a very cool ambiance and lots of young Italians came in as we were eating dinner on a Sunday night. We were a little confused at first as there is no food menu. you just need to order a drink and then you get ~7 small plates of simple but good food for € 10 all together. We had mojitos and a vodka sour (both delicious and recommended by our wonderful waiter, Sandro). I would definitely return!

Super place!!! Amazing ambience, with tasty cocktails and nice appetisers served with your drinks…
The staff is very friendly and make an effort to explain everything in English! We found this place by accident on Unilocal: super find, highly recommend!

Ottimo cocktail e buono l’aperitivo (servito al tavolo, ma non striminzito!). Se non si prenota si rischia di restare fuori, perché il locale non è enorme ed è molto popolare.
I cocktail speciali di loro creazione o le loro variazioni su quelli famosi sono da provare. Siate audaci e non ordinate il solito drink di sempre.
Piccolo neo il costo; vale tutti i 10 euro che costa, ma se girate con amici che vanno al risparmio ricordatevelo prima di venire qui :)
