Fresco e Cimmino

While staying in Milan, we went to see the famous Duomo di Milano Cathedral. It is surrounded by La Rinascente shops, restaurants, gelaterias & street vendors. We had such good food experiences during the first 3 days, we figured we couldn’t go wrong anywhere at this point. We came upon Fresco e Cimmino and stopped in for a light bite to eat before heading out for more shopping & sightseeing. One of our kids had fallen asleep in the stroller, so we asked if we could get a corner table to accommodate our stroller. We were seated fairly promptly, but it took SO long to get drinks and be able to order any food. We ordered appetizers & mains — prosciutto & buffalo mozzarella, bruscetta, pasta for the kids & 1 of the mains. The pizza crust was too thick compared to the pizza we had near our hotel at various restaurants, pasta was cold when it arrived and was a bit bland compared to other pasta we had tried while in Milan. The only thing that i LOVED was the prosciutto & buffalo mozzarella appetizer. The service was atrocious, none of us had our food brought out at the same time — which we requested. None of us ended up eating together, which was really odd and we were offered no apology or explanation. We were there for over 2 hours in total. We left disappointed in the experience & the meal even after talking to the manager. At least there was a great gelateria a 2 min walk from there that we splurged at.

Pizza was not that special by taste except that amazingly friendly service cooked it heart shaped: D I eat out in Milano almost every day and this is one of very few restaurants which in my opinion fulfill the definition of proper hygiene and profesional service ! It has a wide range of fine foods menu and is definitely worth to come back again! i definitely reccomend it foe diner! :)

Bom atendimento. Confortável e limpo. A comida foi boa e bem servida. Pedimos pasta, um fettuccine Alfredo, que veio em 20min aproximadamente. É um restaurante bom sem nenhum atrativo maior, mas não é uma opção ruim.

Very nice restaurant. The pizza is very good and it’s cooked in a wood oven. Waiters are nice and professional. To be in right closed to the duomo, this place is not expensive at all.
Ristorante molto bello, camerieri simpatici e professionali. Pizza tipica napoletana (forno a legna). Per essere un ristorante in centro a Milano non è costoso. Consigliato.

i had the french fry pizza. Sounds weird, but it was just a pizza with potatoes… but it was one of the best and most memorable dishes i had on my 5 month stay in milan. I definitely recommend this spot after visiting the duomo or la rinascente

Overall: very good!
Food:
Known for their pizza and they didn’t disappoint! One of the best pizzas I ate in Milan… sauce had good flavor, cheese not too salty and the crust was just right!
Service: little on the slow side. Had to flag down the waiter a few times
Atmosphere: nice casual place to eat for lunch or dinner
Tip: place gets crowded all times of the day so be prepared to wait!
Overall: would go back… in fact tried to go a second time for lunch but ran out of time because the wait was too long…

My wife and I really liked this restaurant. We went for a late supper after a ballet at La Scala. We had a margherita pizza and a spaghetti puttanesca as entrees and profiteroles for dessert. We had ½ liter of the house white, which was dry and really delicious. The prices were low and the quality of the food high. I don’t want to oversell this place as haute cuisine, but if I were a resident of Milano I’d definitely make a point of eating here again.
One last note. The crowd was young and fun, making this a very nice place to hang out and enjoy the food and conversation!

PIZZA!
One of the better pizza spots in Milan. The pizza here tastes the most similar to Naples pizza, it’s the closest you can find besides going to Napoli!
I recommend the trio of three «tris di antonio», it comes with 3 miniatures of a margarita pizza, calzone, and another pizza with sausage/​greens.
It has long opening hours so pop in for a quick bite in the afternoon when you need a break from the Duomo crowd.
I’m already a regular, good food + great prices!
ENJOY! :)

The staff was not very friendly and attentive.
The salad was old and poorly made.
The Coke and Fanta were flat and fake!
The only two positive things you could mention were that the pizza was good and the price was fair. But thats about it. We wouldn’t go there a second time.

Probably one of the best pizza’s you’d find in Milan!
Great wine list !
Get the right company there and you’d have one hell of Collinear celebration !!

The pizza is decently priced for a touristy area, and the décor is lovely. We had the marinara (classic) pizza and the one with artichokes and ham. The beer and house wine were also priced well, similar to non-​tourist areas. Also, this restaurant stays open until midnight, which is convenient when staying by the Duomo.
However, unless necessary I won’t be going back. I went up to the cashier to pay a 26 € bill with a 100 € note. He gave me 24 € back. When I pointed out I gave him 100 €, he pointed to the bill and my change as if it were correct. I again told him, yes the bill is 26 € and I needed more change. Only then did he give me another 50 € note without so much as an apology for shorting me the equivalent of $ 70.

It was a good lunch. Really good pizza, burrata was amazing. It could get really crowded during lunch, and there might be a wait, it was worth it.

We had lunch here on a work-​day, and the place was absolutely packed with business people. They know how to pick a lunch spot. We had a grilled vegetable antipasti which was absolutely fantastic, and the pizzas are great too (Neapolitan style). Service was very efficient — we were on holiday so more inclined to linger, and that was OK too.

Let me suggest pizza Pasqualina, an exquisite mix of pork sausage and bitter greens (salsiccia e friarielli)

Very trendy restaurant off of the Duomo square. Excellent service and food. Lots of locals were dining.
