La Villetta - Milano

Don't even think about going here especially for Sunday lunch; the food is awful, tasteless shrimp in the shrimp cocktail and no foccacia to go with it, just a basket of dry bread, hardly any funghi in the pappardelle ai funghi porcini which were completely tasteless, the main course of grilled fish was dry, the wine was barely drinkable (we took the most expensive bottle on the menu and when we ordered a second different bottle they didn't even bother to bring it) and the service wasn't much better either, not a smile to be found. You have to scream your head off to talk to the person you're with as the place is full of noisy groups and even then you can barely hear what the other person is saying and if there are two of you they squeeze you between two pillars so you can't move either. Couldn't wait to get out of there and skipped dessert as I couldn't stand it any longer. They didn't bring us a proper receipt just a handwritten total on a piece of paper and told us to go to the cashier if we wanted a proper one but by that time I only wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

To avoid if you have other options. Food is just ok , average , no attention to details in the preparation and serving. I u derstand prices are quite low and tasting the dishes you understand why. The worst thing of this restaurant are the waiters . Unpoliteness is the rule , theyvtreat you without respect, loud voice , they embarass you woth jokes and they are not patient at all if you ask for something . Being a waiter is a difficult job , and probably people are like that because they are not well paid.

When was the last time you saw a restaurant menu typed with a manual typewriter on mimeograph/stencil? Here you can find one right now. The choice of dishes is also typical of 1970 mid tier large restaurants for families and businesses in Milan, with at least a dozen first and a dozen second courses mostly from Tuscany and Piedmont, plus da farsi (express made, mostly grilled and fried) dishes. Lots of local patrons, in families mostly led by seniors, on a Sunday. We had a couple of good first courses homemade potato and flour gnocchi were very good, in a light Piedmontese tomato and cheese sauce, and risotto with mushrooms. Second courses were dull and unremarkable we tried a baby goat stew on polenta, grilled sausages and a beef filet steak. Desserts looked just as bland and we skipped them. Service was fast and accurate, and the cost was reasonable, if higher than we expected and many here reported.

Si mangia molto bene a prezzi onesti la vera cucina meneghina! sempre cortese e utile carlo plauso.

Ottima trattoria alla milanese. prezzi giusti e regolazione caratteristica. facilmente raggiungibile dai marchi di stop della linea lilla e in auto per la comodità di parcheggio. raccomandato per la cassoeula e la polenta quando la preparano).
