Papà Francesco

Very good evening dining experience!
Excellent service, great wine, delicious food!
Highly recommend gnocchi and dorado. Barolo 2011 went well with our selection:)

Our first meal in Milan and this is by far the worst dinning experience in Italy. The food is overpriced and absolutely not worth the money. We ordered a clam spaghetti and tiramisu. For the spaghetti, You can actually taste sand in clams, and the spaghetti is not even cooked ready yet. We thought the dessert would be better, yet it was another disappointment. The bottom part of tiramisu is almost liquid and obviously not fresh anymore. The server explained the biscuit has been absorbed the coffee for too long .The only thing good about this place is its close to duomo but I would have gone somewhere else among those restaurant in that area. I barely write any comment on Unilocal,but this one I have to, maybe they only do this to the tourists but do AVOID this restaurant !

Very good food, tucked away on the other side of the Galleria from Duomo. Lots of gluten free options. And reasonably priced compared to the Galleria places. Would definitely recommend.

Gluten free options for pasta and they brought me my own piece of Gluten Free bread! Absolutely wonderful staff — very accommodating, friendly and kind. Food was fresh and well done — we had gnocchi, asparagus, caprese and tuna carpaccio at our table along with a nice red wine. Atmosphere was nice — in an area right near all the sights, but, just a few steps into a walkway that kept it quiet enough to enjoy the meal.

Everything was delicious and super fresh! I loved my caprese salad and gnocchi. The service was attentive and very friendly. It’s very close to Duomo and perfect for a meal after taking in the sites.

One of the few full service restaurants that are open before 8PM for dinner. The food is very good and the owner is super friendly. The price is a bit high due to the location; but, the quality of service and food well justified it.

The food is delicious and staff is friendly. This restaurant is a good option for those who want a quiet and cozy meal close to Vittorio Emanuele.

I stumbled across this restaurant while roaming Milan. The pizza was simple and delicious and the prosciutto amazing!

Great little restaurant just far enough outside the bustle of the Doumo square, but not too far to lose the character. We had a group of four for dinner with a bottle of wine and it took about one hour from first contact with the waiter to check paid, which is about right for a solid Italian meal. Everyone was very happy with the quality and quantity of his/​her meal. I personally had the Malloreddus Pasta which was different than I was expecting but delightful all the same. I also sampled the gnocchi which was clearly handmade with care as it was some of the best I’ve had in quite some time. The prices are higher but that’s what you pay for a meal in this part of town.

Asparagus with Parmesan cheese was wonderful! Pastas and tiramisu were great.
Great service too.

It has nothing special glutenfree even not a special glutenfree menu
Regarding the food — nothing to wtite about

The restaurant is couple of blocks away from The Duomo. I went with a group of 9 and we ordered appetizers and drinks only. Everything was very good and the service was great. The Manager or owner was very friendly and funny!

L’esprit de la maison est résumé dans un papier punaisé à côté du menu près de la terrasse «né comparez pas nos prix avec le bistrot d’à côté, son chef s’appelle Micro Ondes».
La cuisine est délicieuse, Papa Francesco et ses fils veillent au grain. Les toilettes ressemblent plus à une salle de bains sans baignoire qu’à des toilettes habituelles.
La salle est un peu bruyante quand elle est complète.
La Carbonara est une vraie carbonara avec de la pancetta et tout ce qu’il faut là où il faut.
Pendant que j’étais en train d’y manger il y avait un monsieur et une dame à quelques tables. Ils ont fini le repas en partageant un dessert les yeux dans les yeux. Je né dis pas que l’ambiance chez Papa Francesco est aphrodisiaque, je dis juste qu’elle peut aider.

Nice place. Excellent location.
The food and service were good.
But for me the place is too much touristic.
The meal was expensive. I ate better for less in others places.

A great place to eat, conveniently located a block from La Scala next to the Duomo. I had a wonderful carbonara and everyone at the table was pleased. Very good service and fair pricing (for being close to the most touristy part of the city).

Papà Francesco is a great place for casual dining only a block from La Scala. Menu is broad and the service is fast and friendly. Food is good and beautifully served. The pasta carbonara was perfect. There were lots of locals eating there, so that’s a hint. For the location, I’d say the price was quite reasonable. They produce their own olive oil and Papa Francesco is still very much a fixture: now a three generation operation.

Went here for a Saturday lunch. The bustling and popular restaurant, just a stone’s throw from the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and La Scala has an upstairs and downstairs dining room. Downstairs is more active. Food was very good. I started with a smoked tuna carpaccio, thinly sliced over a bed of greens-​delicate and tasty and followed with the risotto with black truffles, full of butter and resting in an edible fried Parmasan cheese bowl. This was a set of flavors to take slowly and savor. Accompanied by a Nebbiolo d’Alba, it encouraged me to follow up with a very long walk after wards. Certain to be revisited.
