AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Giovanni Fois praises the Buffet misto as the standout dish, capturing the restaurant's warm, convivial vibe that makes every meal feel like a shared celebration.
“I got a bit of everything to try. The buffet changes every day, more or less — they vary what they make, maybe they leave pizza, fried stuff, and they proclaim pasta dishes, the type of meat and various other sides. There's variety if you come one day or another. I'm not a big fan of the street food style they have here — I want to put the pasta inside and it goes away and then another round of people comes in, that's the Milanese policy. It's good, but not amazing.”
