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
Cibo terribile, personale ok ma non all'altezza di una cucina base...turistico e basta
Very pleasant evening at a table along the sidewalk. Varied menu and the food was well prepared. Prices reasonable.
Puntuali, organizzati, locale carino (bagno pulito) e cibo buono, credo tornerò
Foot not tasty and very expensive. Service is very good
A great atmosphere and wonderful seafood. Excellent friendly service, warm and welcoming.
Das Essen war unglaublich lecker, aber die Bedienung war 'durchschnittlich'.
nourriture correcte, mais endroit très touristique (mal conseillé par l'hôtel où nous étions descendus) et franchement un peut mitigé sur le rapport qualité-prix.
Locale tipico in zona Brera,servizio veloce , location carina , magari i l'unico appunto sui dolci visto il costo ,troppo banali ! Per il reso nulla da eccepire! Consiglio
Locale e servizio ottimi tutto perfetto!! Ossobuco con risotto spettacolo ritorneremo
Tabeer was a great server. I noted our celebration of our anniversary when I made the reservation which was not acknowledged when we arrived and was disappointing. Host was not friendly. Had to tell server about anniversary because no one told him.
Un espectáculo!!! Todo perfecto…. Para repetir. Y lo mejor el trato de todos..
Great food, excellent service, and great atmosphere sitting outside. Highly recommend the seafood pasta dish with pizza bread on top.
Great restaurant! Great area in Milan, very good food and customer service.
Food was excellent. Service gives the vibe of a very cheap place . The waiter was lazy and was not really willing to serve customers. Also, you need to pay attention to the receipt, the waiter added an €8 item that we didn’t ask for and he claimed it was by mistake when we asked him to double check.
Molto soddisfatta dell'esperienza, con un menu che va incontro a tutti i gusti di tutti i palati. Da tornare!
Consigliato: molto gentili e rapidi nel servizio, ampio spazio per mangiare all’aperto, menu che soddisfa diverse esigenze.. noi abbiamo mangiato bene. Se cercate un posto carino in Brera da prenotare qui!
Mangiato benissimo. Spaghetti Vongole e astice ottimi. Ritornerò di nuovo 🤙
Excellent service, excellent food, great prices, and just overall amazing atmosphere.
