Monopoli

I have a severe food allergy and they took great care of me. They were accommodating and went out of their way to make sure I had a great experience. Thanks!

The food was good. Ate mostly off the daily menu and was not let down. The service, on the other hand, was phenomenal. Very friendly to English speaking customers and really just a positive attitude all around. Definitely recommend this place to anyone nearby.

WHAT A FABULOUS RESTAURANT !!!
We were looking for something not too far from our hotel so I pulled up nearby restaurants in Unilocal and when I came across MONOPOLI and read all the beautiful reviews this was it!!! We had one of the most beautiful dining experiences EVER !!!
I read all the nice comments about the server Earthy and so when we walked in we asked if Earthy was there and sure enough there she was and from that point on she whisked us away on a culinary adventure we were never to forget. I have to say, Earthy is one of the sweetest person I have ever met !!! She is such a special Lady and if you ever have the opportunity to be showered with her kindness and culinary wisdom you will be one lucky and VERY HAPPY person.
We started off our meal with one of Angelo’s fabulously made pizzas with Parma and topped off with Arugula. We ordered one of the specials of the day which was so delicious we couldn’t believe how lucky we were to experience it, pappardelle with white sauce, veal and zucchini — had a side of squash blossoms !!! YUM !!! Next course was Sea Bass cooked in wood oven — oh so very delicious! Then Earthy brought us some calamari after we told her how much we loved it !!! After that we were so stuffed but then she also brought homemade chips with fresh rosemary — all that was topped off with a special made sorbet with currant liqueur !!! WOW!!! EVERYTHING ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT !!!
Earthy!!! We miss you and everyone else in the restaurant and we will be back soon !!!

The restaurant was very attractive and the staff was most helpful with making amazing dinner selections! Our waitress, Earthy, was simply the best I’ve ever had!!! She just knew what we would want and explained every item she brought to us. The food was amazing, from the taste to the preparation and appearance. I cannot rave enough about this place, so quit reading and go try for yourself, you’ll love it!

Good food, good service, nice atmosphere. Definitely recommend. The server even tried to help us with our Italian!

Fantastic service! When we first arrived in Milan we were very unclear about where to eat. We found this place with high reviews and decided to try it out. The raviolis were amazing! And the service was great too! Our waitress was a character, she knew so much about the menu and explained things to us if we didn’t understand the Italian. Will definitely be returning next time I am in Milan.

Amazing service as well as food. Earthy our waitress was very helpful. We spilt a pasta and pizza. The pasta was very fresh and the pizza was heavenly.

Die Bedienung war super, soll heißen freundlich, spontan und kompetent. Das Restaurant war gut besucht. Das Essen, wir folgten der Enpfehlubg des Personals, war ein Traum. Hier stimmt Preis und Leistung. Sollten wir mal wieder in Mailand sein. Schauen wir bestimmt wieder rein.

Fantastic pizza. The best in Milan. Very friendly staff that makes You feel Like home.

Das Monopoli liegt in einer Seitenstraße und wird sehr gut besucht von italienischen Gästen, nicht ohne Grund, denn es ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp! Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt, das kleine Restaurant war komplett gefüllt und wir hatten Glück, noch einen Platz zu bekommen (3 min gewartet). Die Speisen wurden alle frisch zubereitet. Und waren sehr schmackhaft!

Wonderful service and delicious food! One of our favourite places in Italy so far. We started with a wonderful appetizer of eggplant rolls stuffed with cheese. We both had pasta (one seafood special of the day and one carbonara). Finished with tiramisu. All that and ½ litre of wine for 44 euro! Amazing prices (especially for Milan)

Una pizza buonissima, soprattutto quando la prepara quello che chiamano «il nonno», il quale dà dei colpetti sul bordo che lo fanno diventare ancora più croccante

After being in Milan for several days and determined to find that wonderful thin crust pizza like we enjoyed several years ago in Naples, using Unilocal we decided on Monopoli. Our first try was on a saturday night about 9:30 and we were told it was at least a one hour wait. To me this is not a bad thing, it means they are doing something right, however we were hungry and decided to try another place on the same street which turned out quite nice actually. A couple nights later on Monday we again showed up after checking the website to make sure they were open and sure enough when we arrived things were locked up tight!, turned out it was some catholic holiday I guess. Finally the next night we walked in about 8:30 and were seated right away. Our waitress (Earthi) spoke perfect english and was very friendly. When we started to order she said no no, you need to try this instead. Normally I dont like this and want to make my own choices but this was just a salad so we went along with her and were very pleased. We ended up with a fresh artichoke and parmesan salad and the other was made from a vegetable we had never heard of and I cannot remember the exact name now. It was a winter vegetable that required elaborate preperation as explained by Earthi. It was sliced thin and came with a anchovi dressing that was wonderful. we also had fried sweet peppers as an appetizer and I mixed this with the salad and with a squeeze of lemon and salt and pepper it was really good. She brought out the raw vegetable to show us and it looked like a cross between a cabbage and bok choy. Finally we had two pizza’s (one would have been enough) and they lived up to the billing, excellent thin crust and sauce was beautiful, perfect toppings. we met the owner Franco and learned that this family run restaurant is over 40 years old and all the employees are part of the extended family. Overall a really satisfying dining experience. With plenty of beer and wine the bill was under 50 euros.

Two weeks in Italy and this was our favorite place to eat. Great food, friendly staff, and a wonderful neighborhood atmosphere.

damn good pizza! worth making a reservation, locals seem to really like this place too. my advice this the pizza di buffala

They had THE BEST pizza (and ravioli) we had during out entire trip to Italy (Milan, Venice, Rome, Florence, and Positano). It was, unfortunately, the first restaurant we went to in Italy… I saw unfortunately b.c. no other restaurant was able to live up to the taste, quality, and service. Very reasonably priced, as well.
DEFINITELY worth going out of your way for.

Ask for Earthy. Let her manage your experience, and hold on to your seat.
One of the best meals (and servers) I’ve had in Milan.

My wife and I still dream about Monopoli’s pizza and look for excuses to visit Milan so we can taste it again.
The pizzas come in a perfect thin crispy crust under a layer of high quality ingredients. My favorite is four cheese (quattro formaggi), which is an explosion of flavor especially with the blue cheese. The waitress recommended the mushroom and olive pizza to my wife, which seemed to be a match made in heaven. The affogato dessert was also delicious.
During our trip to Italy, we visited Milan twice and made sure we went back a second time for this treat.
