Visitor Testimonials (2811)

The meatballs were great, the burger so/so. But friendly staff and nice atmosphere! Pretty pricey for the rather small portions you get.

The risotto meatballs are very unique. I wish I was myself to enjoy it as much as before. Don’t forget the dessert

Tantalising main course with amazing bread and focaccia that came free of charge. Highly recommended when in Milan.

The meatballs and pasta are really good. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere charming.

This restaurant was one of the best during our Italy trip. The meatballs were amazing, their tomato sauve is world-class and the service was excellent!

With the name you'd expect the meatballs to be great and they are. The spaghetti and meatballs are awesome, surpassing even what you'd expect. We started with the fried pizzette, which we felt wasn't worth it as the free focaccia is far better. They also provided a free meatball to each of us as a starting bite - very good. While the spaghetti and meatballs were the highlight, the carbonara was good as well. Good experience overall - great service.

They are so good at what they’re doing. For appetiser we ordered the POLPETTINE FRITTE MISTE every time we’ve been there it is soooo good. Also the PIZZETTE FRITTE is great! The first time we were there we ordered the carbonara which was very good. The tiramisu was nice a lil too stong taste of coffee for me but not for everybody. The cheese cake with berries omg so freaking amazing. The second time my friend again ordered carbonara because she really liked it and I ordered the SPAGHETTI MEATBALL and asked them to add mozzarella in which was so amazing the meat balls are well made and delicious. They always give you fresh bread and a tasty sauce.

The food is so good! We tried the 5 sampler meatball dish and it was delicious. Bruschetta was yummy. Dessert was great!!
