Il Cestino

Unfortunately the woman looking after us was very aggressive asking for a tip at the end of the meal. She only seemed to do this with the English speaking tables.

Buono cibo, prezzo justo, soprattuto amabile sig Piero, mille grazie!

We had a very enjoyable night and the general view of our group was that they all liked their food very much. We will come back again next time we are in Milan.

Delizioso e accogliente, uno dei posti migliori dove andare in zona Brera

Food, service, drinks, setting were all superb. I did a lot of research before our trip and we were not disappointed.

Una perla tra i vicoli del prestigioso quartiere di Brera, ottimo cibo e scelta dei piatti!

Un delizioso ristorante nel cuore di Brera, atmosfera accattivante e menu davvero gourmet!

c'è stato un fraintendimento con la prenotazione che il responsabile di sala ha risolto. abbiamo utilizzato un cofanetto prepagato per due persone e nonostante si fosse aggiunta nostra figlia non ci ha fatto pagare extra.

It was a fine enough restaurant. The food felt like a a fast food version of Italian food. Definitely a touristy vibe. And the staff wasn’t very pleasant. They were also super slow and understaffed. So overall wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone visiting.

Schneller Service, leckere Speisen, bis auf die harten, unreifen Erdbeeren.

Cibo molto gustoso. Servizio perfetto. Lo consiglio. Nonostante il ritardo, ci hanno tenuto il tavolo.

Alles prima, gutes Essen, nette Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Piatti molto gustosi e qualità del servizio davvero eccelsa. Ordinato risotto arrivato stracotto, subito sostituito e dessert offerti. Davvero superlativo come servizio!

Overall, well prepared and presented tasty and healthy food. The two notable negatives were 1. Chewy, not great muscles and 2. Virtually no tuna in the Niçoise salad - basically paid €15 for shredded lettuce, a boiled egg and few anchovy fillets. My dining companion experienced the same. The kitchen should have told the server and we should have been given the option to change the order.

ottima la bottarga, ambiente abbastanza tranquillo, meglio prenotare, nel complesso ottimo

Un buon ristorante in un bellissimo quartiere, ricco di atmosfera e tranquillità. Ottimo servizio e un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Ottima pizza, ricchi piatti di pesce, accoglienza cordiale come sempre, esperienza consigliata!

Hassif a été super. Je conseille le tiramisu. Bonne expérience culinaire.

Très bonne trattoria, cuisine parfaite, service très attentif et très agréable…. Un grand merci

Il posto è veramente bello, servizio attento e puntuale, ottima materia prima utilizzata, unico lato negativo la pasta (paccheri al ragù di astice) servita con cottura abbondantemente passata

Personale e titolare gentile, con qualsiasi tipo di richiesta. Atmosfera veramente piacevole, piatti oltre le aspettative

Abbiamo mangiato molto bene, buona la pizza , cotoletta morbidissima e tagliata cotta bene. Servizio efficiente, puntuale e tutti molto gentili.

Food was not good. Felt like tourist trap. Rostro milanese had no flavor

Risotto ai gamberi molto buoni! Gentilissimi e professionali. Esperienza valida!

Beautiful food! Nice place and service. Authentic food, loved it

Bella location in uno dei quartieri più belli di Milano. Ottimo servizio e cibo di qualità.

Buon ristorante nel quartiere Brera! tagliolini ai porcini squisiti. Consigliato

The food, ambiance and team was amazing😋 The service could be a bit faster but we enjoyed it very much🙏

Tutto molto buono esperienza ottima locale bellissimo e accogliente nel cuore di brera

Molluschi e tartare con porcini molto buoni e, soprattutto freschi.

Ho mangiato una pizza senza glutine e era perfetto! Anche il servizio era perfetto! Grazie mille, a la prossima volta.

This is our third visit to il Cestino during several years and the experience has been getting worse each time. As to the latest visit, the food was fine (but not excellent), the service was poor and inattentive. Overall, impression is disappointing.

Excellent food l. Waiter was fun, helpful in ordering l. He stopped us from over ordering.

The food was very nice, but took very long to arrive

Poor quality and badly cooked food. We much prefer quality to quantity. Overpriced too. Very busy though. You get the feeling that they just exploit tourists who they will never see again so why not rip them off. Such a shame that this seems to be the norm in Milan. We’ve had a few good meals but alas they are few and far between. Perhaps go to London or New York instead. Gratzie.

Abbiamo mangiato bene !! La bistacca era buona e l'atmosfera ottima.

Pesce crudo freschissimo e di qualità. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Esperienza da ripetere sicuramente!

Materie prime di prima qualità e servizio attento sicuramente da rifare

Great food, seating was very crowded. we enjoyed the food.

From a warm greeting through a wonderful meal to departing it was a great experience. Best atmosphere.

Milano is a fabulous eating city but it can be hard to find seafood restaurants. We were so happy to find this one and in the beautiful suburb of Brera. The seafood platter was just divine - a selection of mostly raw fish and seafood. We sat outside and even on a rainy night we were able to enjoy being 'al fresco' in Italia. Can't wait to return

A vibrant atmosphere, very attentive service! Food was cooked to perfection and portions were large!

Il Cestino is a very well located restaurant in an area full of life and cultural streets. The food was fantastic and the personnel nice given the fact that it was a very busy time of the day.

Bene ok fatto soddisfatto piacevole grande spettacolo di mangiare bene

Ich habe bei der Reservierung nett gebeten, den Tisch für den 30. Geburtstag meiner Freundin nur ein bisschen zu schmücken - davon NICHTS zu sehen. Wir hatten einen super unsympathischen Kellner, der sich, WÄHREND man mit ihm gesprochen hat, einfach direkt wieder umgedreht hat, uns den kleinsten Tisch gegeben hat, obwohl wir etwas mehr bestellt haben, den Tisch nicht freigeräumt hat nach der Vorspeise und generell einfach so schien, keine Lust auf seinen Job zu haben. Nicht einmal wurden wir gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist, nicht einmal wurde sich dafür entschuldigt, dass wir über eine Stunde auf unser Essen gewartet haben. Das wichtigste für den Kellner war am Ende nur, dass das Geld gepasst hat und, dass Trinkgeld mit dabei war - nichts da. Nicht einen Cent bekommt er für so einen schlechten Service. Für mich absolut peinlich gewesen, meiner Freundin zum 30. Geburtstag so eine miserable Erfahrung zu bieten. Danke für nichts!

Un viaggio culinario attraverso sapori sorprendenti, che ti lascerà desiderare di tornare per provare tutto il menu.

Serata piacevole. Buono il servizio. Unica pecca la sistemazione: pur avendo prenotato ci hanno dato un tavolo adattato a 5 persone col risultato che eravamo un po’ stretti ma, peraltro, siamo in Brera il sabato sera quindi ci sta

Excellent food and amazing service, it was a well spent afternoon in Il Cestino.

this restaurant is located in the heart of Brera, with lovely staff and unique Brera atmosphere. Every year we are visiting Milan for Salone Design week and visiting II Cestino is on the list.

Very childfriendly, delicious food and fun atmosphere outdoor in a nice area
