"I had lunch here today with my wife and daughter. We entered a little hesitant because it was the first time we tried this restaurant, well reviewed but unknown to us and found via maps. Upon entering you find yourself in a somewhat 80 's hall which is striking for its old Milanese decor despite the evidently Neapolitan name. Unpretentious but absolutely impeccable and adequate crockery. Clean bathrooms (yay! . But the real surprise was the welcome and the food. In the first case I was struck by the education and kindness of the person who served us (which is now rare these days and in the second by the quality and search for authentic and familiar flavours. Finally a place to enjoy something special and different from the now too excessive and homologated ethnic-standard-commercial-fastfood tastes... Sitting at the table we ordered: a stuffed calzone, a spaghetti with the proposal of the day (courgettes and mussels and a escalope with mushrooms. Nothing particularly fancy although I had never tried spaghetti with mussels and courgettes which pleasantly surprised me. The quality of the condiments, the quantity which was neither excessive nor parsimonious but above all the combination of flavors were excellent. All preceded by a welcome proposal of a house starter made from three simple potato croquettes (a trio for each , freshly prepared in the kitchen: one filled with cheese, one with courgettes and one with aubergines. Very good! In the end everything culminated in the presentation of the crew: mother and aunt (both grandmothers, no longer very young but very youthful, the first creator of the croquettes , two daughters in the dining room and at the bar and the husband of one of them in the pizza oven. A family-run restaurant (strictly Neapolitan that has honored Milan with its beautiful culinary presence for 50 years. We added two bottles of water and two coffees to the appetizers, plus the two main courses and the calzone. We were offered an exquisite limoncello and spent €60 in total. A tip: don 't miss this experience! I will definitely go back"
