Maio Restaurant on the 7th floor of Rinascente department store in Milan, with the Duomo Church right in front of you. Moët et chandon champagne is great 🍸🍸! I must go there with my good friends next time [love][love]
The Italian restaurant was highly recommended to us by local friends. It was really good. My favorite dishes were Italian squid pasta and vegetable salad. The scented tea was also very good and helped relieve the greasiness.
Located on the 7th floor of the Renaissance Department Store next to DUOMO, the restaurant is said to overlook the Milan Cathedral, but in fact... it's even more... after dark, so let's talk about the dishes. For dinner, there is a 60 euro chef's recommended set meal, but it is still recommended to prepare money to order a la carte, although it is a little expensive. Here I will only talk about my four favorite dishes. The daily soup is a dish that depends entirely on luck. The soup that was caught on the day was very appetizing. The shrimp meat was fresh, and the amount of cream in the soup was just what I could accept. The appetizer was crispy eggs + cheese cream + pepper cakes + wild vegetables. I personally think the highlight is the eggs. If you haven't read the menu in advance, the golden and crispy "balls" can easily be mistaken for potatoes. In fact, it is an egg wrapped in a thick batter and fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. For such a familiar ingredient, the taste is a surprise. Milanese risotto is not good. Please imagine the half-cooked rice fried with green onions and saffron [smile] For the main course, Milanese fried steak is recommended. The fine bread crumbs embedded in the crust are crispy and delicious, and the meat inside is soft and chewy. In short, please pass on the risotto recommended by major travel guides, and save the money to try the schnitzel~ When I was holding the menu to choose dessert, I was very entangled. Finally, I asked the waiter for his opinion and decided on this chestnut mille-feuille. When it was served, the temperature of the chestnut paste was just right, slightly lower than the room temperature. The unique sweetness and mellowness of chestnuts tasted more tortuous, and paired with a slightly textured puff pastry, everything was just right. The Chinese marked on the menu said that the base part was icing, but it would be more accurate to call it meringue. The shape of the meringue, with a touch of orange persimmon sauce around it, and sprinkled with a few pieces of chocolate chips, is a little pretentious, which easily reminds people of the layer of fallen leaves on the grass in the afternoon that are sprinkled with sunshine, warm and crisp. The combination of chestnuts and persimmons, I have to say, this is a very appropriate and autumnal dessert. Finally, I want to praise a waiter at MAIO, whose name is unknown. He has short brown curly hair, big eyes, and is very enthusiastic. He can give reasonable suggestions on ordering before the meal, and will ask the guests for their opinions on the food after the meal. Before leaving, he caught up with me and gave me a handbag. I thought it was a small gift, but it actually packed the Milanese risotto that I had hardly touched. [Covering face] Although I don’t want it, it’s still Grazie!
Xiaogui, very formal feeling, the display is very delicate, not bad
Who said it was delicious? Please go to the wall, misleading! The first one is the pre-food, which is relatively 8 points in all orders. There is no special taste that is salty cheese with shrimp, but the shrimp is very tender and can be scored high, 22 euros. The second saffron rice, aimed at Milan's special point, the rice grain is large but the taste of raw rice, anyway, I can't feel delicious, 18 euros. The third, I regretted it when I came up. I fried the calf. I blamed myself for not looking at it. I only paid attention to the small steak. Because I had eaten a small steak in other places before. I ordered it. When I came up, this practice was worth 37 euros. Eat wood, can not be compared with the small steak I used to eat, regret to die, this is a bad review to give a maximum of 5 points. The last dessert is the Italian characteristic pistachio ice cream. The pistachio flavor is very delicious. The snakes are added to the sugar stained kumquat skin. It will completely grab the taste of pistachio. I don’t like it. This price is not considered pit people. Three balls are 10 euros. Other places are three euros and one ball. But this one is a bit too sweet. The waiter did not see a smile and was not very enthusiastic. It can only be said to be more polite, so in general, this meal is 87 euros, plus tea 4 euros is really worthless, because the same price I can eat better in other places and in China, here I am not recommended. It is the advantage of geographical location.
