Our family enjoyed both delicious food and attentive service. The atmosphere was wonderful, our table was situated in a corner and we actually could hear each other and enjoy the conversations. Every dish was excellent, especially the “La Originale” and the onion omelet. The panna cotta was 5 stars!! Definitely will return when in Milano.

Located right in the city center near Brera, Maccheroni is a charming and relaxing spot, with both indoor and outdoor seating perfect for enjoying a typical Italian meal. The staff is incredibly nice, welcoming, and genuinely friendly, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Service is fast and efficient, keeping the atmosphere pleasant and stress-free. The menu is versatile, offering dishes à la carte or a combo menu (appetizer – main – dessert) for €39. You can also choose your portion size – leggera, rinforzata, or the impressive padellone. Carbonara lovers will be spoiled for choice, with options ranging from the original to Abruzzese, gluten-free, vegetarian, and more. The pasta itself is creamy, rich in sauce, and bursting with flavor – truly delicious. Prices are on the higher side, especially the padellone (200g of carbonara) at €50, but the quality and experience make it a memorable stop for pasta enthusiasts.

Tried their carbonara and it was really good. The guanciale was super flavorful and crispy, and the pasta itself was delicious. Would’ve loved a bit more cheese on top though. Prices are on the higher side – even a regular beer felt expensive. I really enjoyed the food and the vibe of the place. Totally worth a visit if you’re in the mood for a proper carbonara.
