Rebelot - Milano

We are going very often to Rebel8 with friends, mostly during weekend time. we do like this pub chiefly because the atmosphere is very informal and genuine: Mario is a very peculiar and kind person who's always doing his best to make us feeling like at home. the easy-to-get formula made by couple of beers with piadina during happy hour time is one of the best choice to find here

It's a quite pub , located nearby the machiacchini underground , with easy access to parking. It offers great happy hour cocktails and aperi- cena light dinner finger food . Very nice friendly atmosphere , and great location to watch international sports .

I 'd read multiple rave reviews about Rebelot while researching a long weekend in Milan with friends, so insisted that we visit for thee tasting menu on our big night out together. What a disappointment. To provide some context, we were a group of '30 something ' professionals two based in New York City and two based in London. The four of us are accustomed to (and actively seek out) inventive cuisine in fun and busy environments that celebrate new chefs and new flavors. At the end of the day, however, we 're just looking for good quality, tasty food. This was not our experience at Rebelot. We had a great table in a bustling area of Milan and were excited to turn the decision making on our meal over the to chef. Our server seemed to be struggling when we arrived, and it only got worse as the restaurant go busier. We had long waits to order our drinks and food, even longer waits for anything to arrive. When the good did come, it was either totally uninspired, or simply not good. Dishes were far too salty, too mushy, too chewy, or just bland. None of the plates of the five course tasting menu were particularly tasty one I actually chose not to finish after two bites even though I was really hungry and sick of chewing on breads ticks. When the fifth plate arrived 30 minutes after our fourth plates had been cleared we were all expecting to get a desert or cheese plate, but were presented with cold, sliced chunks of pork poorly matched with what I can only describe as mushy avocado ice cream. Not delicious in terms of flavor or texture. Unsatisfied with the meal after five attempts, most of which we left unfinished, we elected to have dessert and got a totally average tiramisu and a pistachio parfait (or something like it, I 'm not really sure as the flavors were just sweet, bland and creamy). I really wanted this place to be great, and think it still can be, but it needs to step up its game. The food it serves ought to at least match the high price tag.

Visited Milan for a few nights and researched places to eat before we arrived. I had booked this restaurant well in advance to ensure we had a table, as reports suggested it was a very popular venue. I was excited to visit Rebelot as some of the reviews I had read online where very promising. Since booking the reservation I noticed a few negative comments about various topics, I didn't let this stop me going as I wanted to try it for myself. Me my partner decided to go for the gastronomic menu which is what attracted me to the restaurant in the first place. We had 5 courses for €48 each. The positives are that the ingredients tasted fresh there was a degree of inventiveness and the service was ok. The negatives are mainly in the execution, all 5 dishes lacked seasoning (there aren't any salt pepper offered at the table) the size of the dishes are very small even for a 5 course meal there isn't enough elements to some of the dishes which resulted in an imbalance of flavour. This restaurant has potential but I wouldn't visit again if I ever visited Milan unless the reviews change dramatically as I left feeling I didn't get value for money. Approx €125 with a bottle of prosecco we left still hungry underwhelmed.

Great place to grab a beer or watch a football match. Awesome bartenders and attracts a great local crowd. Right across the street from a killer pizza place called S.P.I.B.
