MAIO RESTAURANT

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!

A little expensive, very formal, the presentation is very exquisite, good

Who said it was delicious? Please face the wall, it's misleading! The first one is the appetizer, which is relatively 8 points among all the orders. There is nothing special about the taste, just salty cheese with shrimps. The shrimps are tender and taste good, so I give it a higher score, 22 euros. The second one is the saffron risotto, which I ordered because it is a Milanese specialty. The rice grains are big but the taste is half-cooked. Anyway, I don't think it tastes good, 18 euros. The third one, I regretted ordering it as soon as I saw it, fried veal, I blamed myself for not looking carefully and only paying attention to the veal steak, because I had a veal steak somewhere else before, so I ordered it. When I saw it, it was cooked like this, and it was worth 37 euros? It tasted dry, and it couldn't be compared with the veal steak I had before. I regretted it so much. This one is a bad review and can only be rated 5 points. The last dessert was Italian pistachio ice cream. The pistachio flavor was very special and delicious, but the candied kumquat peel was added on top, which completely snatched the taste of the pistachio. I didn't like it. The price was not a rip-off, 10 euros for three balls, 3 euros for one ball in other places, but this one was a bit too sweet. The waiter didn't smile or look very enthusiastic, just polite. So overall, this meal cost 87 euros, plus 4 euros for tea, which was really not worth it, because I can eat better at the same price in other places and in China, and I don't recommend it here. It's just the advantage of its location.
