We are giving Qui Si Mangia ten stars! This was our first time and if we should ever come back to Milano, Qui Si Mangia will be the reason. From the friendly welcome to superb service to top shelf meals, by the end of the evening we felt like family. Molto grazie per tutto! Our food and experience was truly amazing!

Wow , what an amazing restaurant and food experience. The staff here was so welcoming and friendly the entire night even while juggling multiple large tables and I was a table of one. Excellent seafood spaghetti that was baked into a pie and was perfectly prepared. Followed by a large beef steak . The house wine was €6 for a half liter! All the food was amazing and inexpensive for the quality and portions. I wish I had found this restaurant sooner and hopefully will be back on another trip. Special thanks to the waiters and chef that night.

We came for lunch and ended up returning for dinner — that’s how good it was! Marco and Maria run the front of the house with warmth and heart. Their hospitality was the best we experienced during our trip to Italy. They truly made us feel welcome. The food is fantastic, the portions are generous, and the prices are fair. The name of the restaurant translates to “Here You Eat,” and I can confirm — you eat very well! I’ll definitely be coming back on my next visit to Milan, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to! The staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. Great value for the level of service and hospitality. We were so impressed that we went back for lunch the next day before our train. They have a very wide variety of dishes but I highly recommend their seafood spaghetti. We would come back to Milan just to visit this restaurant!

This was one of the best seafood pastas I had in Italy. It’s a small family owned restaurant. The lady serving us was so warm and friendly. My seafood pasta had a generous amount of seafood and was so flavourful I finished the whole thing despite the huge portion. My partner got the calamari, shrimp and saffron pasta which was also creamy and delicious. Highly recommend

I’m not one to go to the same restaurant twice while traveling, but this restaurant was so amazing that I had to make a second visit. The clams alle vongole was hands down the best I’ve ever had & the added prawn melted in my mouth. The second night I ordered the gnocchi sorrentina & it didn’t disappoint either. Molto Buono all around!

Came to a restaurant today and food was amazing. Stepped into the restaurant and the service was amazing. We got 3 plates service of bread with tomato sliced, drizzled in olive oil with a side of salad. House wine is a must, we got white and for 0.5 L it cost $6. A total deal. The food we ordered was seafood risotto, beef steak with mushroom, and lobster linguine. All delicious and for a great price too. For such good quality food it was extremely cheap. Orange juice was freshly squeezed and the tiramisu was amazing as well. I believe it was home made. Overall, ambiance was great, food was amazing and the service was terrific. Recommend if you are traveling or in the Milan area!
