Avoid this place! €3.50/ person just for the pleasure of having a seat . The only good thing here is the location. Food is really not good. Tasteless pasta. Clearly aimed at tourists. Even the Italian waiting staff are speaking Chinese. Also extremely unprofessional signs up around the restaurant saying not to compare their food with the restaurant next door and calling the chef and microwave. Worst meal so far in Milan. There seem to be many fake reviewers with no history , but as you can see I am level 7 reviewer.

Right in the heart of the action in a large open area. Food was great. We did the 3 pasta combo. Round the corner from the Galleria. Seating inside and outside.

Worst service and food. They served me this and said this is macaroni (in Italia this is macaroni )and cheese it was test less also . I just asked for simple Mac and cheese they added tomato in that . And worst service they served you once and ignore you like they done their job now you just eat pay and go. And it’s super expensive prices and still you have to go to the counter to pay they don’t have a terminal. Also when you are done and they can see you did not eat at all they don’t even care to ask you something wrong . I wonder before entering because all other restaurants was full and this one have no people but now I know why . Not at all worth going here There is no value for money

It’s in a very central location. You may consider going in if you are very tired and hungry after shopping! The service is friendly but they will persuade you to order the huge Florentine steak which is €11 per 100g. Consider if you can afford before order. The food is just so so.

Excellent restaurant! Delicious plates, perfect service. Real Italian vibes. This place is there for generations bringing true Italian food experience. I eat there every time I stop in Milan. If you happen to be in the Duomo area hungry that’s the place to go. Very recommended 👍🏼

Very disappointed by the food served. We ordered à pizza and pasta. We thought it was very expensive. Service was good though ! The show made by the papa and the mama was fun and served the purpose to trap tourists.

One of the best Italian food I tried in Milan, delicious many selections.. highly recommended and must try the lobster spaghetti

To every person - Please go to papa Francesco if you are visiting Milano.. i have never eaten better pizza! Delicious! Tiramisu and creme brulée also so good

Fabulous pizza and pasta meal. Everything is freshly cooked to order. Amazing atmosphere, would defintely reccomend.

My favorite italian restaurant in Milan, Papa Francesco was very welcoming and explained about the family history of the restaurant. The plates ordered were lasagna, pesto pasta, Margherita, truffle rissoto, gnocchi. All were great but the lasagna was superb. Highly recommended 👍🏽

Best meal we have had in Milan. Unbelievable food,Service and atmosphere. Highly recommend Between us we had pastas, steak, risotto and veal and all 6 of us were very impressed with our delicious food and service.

Great dinner on the first night of Milan! Almost did not dine when a saw a score below a 4, but so glad we went in. We had slices of Mozzarella and Tomato as an app… ok size and great quality. We then had the Gnocchi which may have been one of the best I have ever had, the saw was outstanding!!! Last we had two pizzas that were great tasting and cooked perfect! We over hit my expectations…. would 100% go back!!

A little pricey due to its central location, but the portions were large and we enjoyed the pasta. The atmosphere felt busy, a bit rushed even, and somehow authentic for it. Nothing strange that most customers are tourists- the restaurant is located where all the tourists are. The staff were friendly. We wished we could have heard the owner sing.

Great food and we enjoyed every bite. Although our server was not one of the nicest but it is ok, we just ignored him. Regarding all comments of “it is a law to order food in Italy”, please understand that this is a restaurant and not a café or bar. Maybe the staff failed to explain it in proper english. We had a similar experience in Switzerland, you simply cannot order Take Away and then decide to sit and drink or eat whatever was as Take Away: why? Because there is a service charge when you actually sit. Anyway, this place has delicious food and they just need to work on having their servers more smiley😉

Disappointing Experience: Worst Pizza Ever, Oversized Beer, and Terrible Service My recent visit left much to be desired. The pizza I ordered was quite possibly the worst I've ever had. Not only was it lacking in flavor, but the crust was soggy and the toppings were sparse. To make matters worse, when I ordered a 0.5-liter beer, I was served a massive 1-liter instead, which was far more than I had intended to drink. Additionally, the service was abysmal. Waitstaff seemed indifferent and inattentive, leaving me feeling neglected throughout the meal. Overall, this dining experience fell far short of expectations, and I would not recommend Papa Francesco to anyone seeking quality food and service.

(Translated by Google) One of the camariere said the "napolitano" has a client after he left, because he complained of a lack of service. Good polentona! ... (Original) Una de le camariere ha datto del "napolitano" ha un cliente doppo che era andato via, perche si era lamentato di un diservizio. Brava polentona!...

Service was unengaging, unfriendly, and unattentive. I had Asparagus risotto, which was too runny even though the rice was overcooked. My husband had the Gorgonzola Gnocchi, which he liked. We also had the Caprese di Buffalla salad, which was minuscule for the price. We sat inside to try and escape the pervasive cigarette smoke, but the lady working at the restaurant sat right outside the entry door and started smoking, so it all wafted in anyway. It was an unpleasant, unsatisfactory, and overpriced dinner. I do not recommend and will not be returning.

We ate great lasagna there. The atmosphere was nice and looks old-italian fashioned. The price was a bit high but I guess this is due to touristic location.

I really love this restaurant and I go there each time I visit Milano. The owner and waiters are charming, you feel welcome. The pasta are delicious and home-made ( and they have gluten-free options, pasta, bread), the carbonara sauce, and the crème brûlée, mamma Mia !!! And this is not a tourist-trap, like the other restaurants in the neighborhood.

Nice small pizza restaurant, right next to Duomo We tried it out after touring all day around the city, and then visiting the church around 6pm. The place and the servers are very friendly. We ordered a thin crust piazza and a dish of sliced beef. Absolutely delicious (maybe we are very hungry), and price is reasonable. Recommended for causal visits.

Waooo, excellent food and service. Recommended 100%. Also the owner show us his Guacamayo. Fresh fish and food.

Service and meal presentation is good, food is… just food. Definitely not on par with the price tag (€150 for 2 with full course and drinks), which is probably driven by their location. With that said, if you are starving and need something to chew on right away - they’ll feed you. If you’re after great food in Duomo area - look elsewhere.

Brilliant, as if you sit in Papa and Mama Francesco's kitchen. The staff were good and their food, super tasty and fresh! This is a MUST, at the Duoma and very busy so advance booking will be required. You will not be dissapointed

For the price the portion and quality of what I order was horrible. The ravioli on the dish I ordered all four corners of each ravioli was rubbery.. worst experience eating I’ve had on my trip to Milan, I would highly suggest looking elsewhere for dining

It is one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to which is so delicious and I highly recommend it.

Pizza was good, service was very unfriendly. I would not go there again, you will find much better places!

Pizzas are delicious but a lit bit expensive. Service is fast as they can. It's so close to cathedral, in a passage. But the staff are not so interested with us. We like the place.

For everything in the world, drop it. Find something delicious, do yourself a favor. Since Zero is a place I can recommend instead of this. (Original) Det et turist sted uden tvivl. Det er dyrt og pizzaen er dårlig. Hvis du tager til Italien for at få noget godt mad. Så er dette ikke det rette sted. For alt i verden, drop det. Find noget lækkert, gør dig selv en tjeneste.

(Translated by Google) The owner is a liar and a trickster, he slanders the competition, slanders dissatisfied customers and commits reprehensible practices. I do not recommend! I am diabetic and need to eat small portions at specific times. This supposed restaurant is one of the few places in the area open during siesta, so chased by the approaching meal time, we decided to visit this place. I left hungry, disgusted and very disappointed with the famous Italian hospitality because the staff decided that we cannot order one pizza in half, but each of us has to order a separate plate. I tried to reasonably approach the topic and explain that I would not be able to eat even half of the dish, but a translation for nothing. One person, one plate and period. At a time when so much food is thrown away, when there is so much talk about how shameful such an approach is almost unbelievable! We have traveled all over Europe and it was the first time that something similar happened to us. Even if it were some cheap bar ... But this something aspires to be called a restaurant. Embarrassment. Fortunately, there is a restaurant next door, the owner of which saw the whole event and saved us from oppression and restored our faith that restaurants in Italy are not worse than those in the rest of Europe, and conceited owners are the exception to the rule. The following answer from the owner shows perfectly how simple he is ... A diabetic woman is referred to McDonald's. Congratulations! I live in Poland and even look for such beetroots there! (Original) Właściciel to kłamca i kombinator, oczernia konkurencję, szkaluje niezadowolonych klientów i dopuszcza się praktyk nagannych. Nie polecam! Mam cukrzycę, muszę jeść małe porcje o dokładnie wyznaczonych porach. Ta niby restauracja jest jednym z niewielu miejsc w okolicy otwartych w porze siesty, więc gonionieni przez zbliżającą się porę posiłku postanowiliśmy odwiedzić to miejsce. Wyszłam głodna, zniesmaczona i bardzo zawiedziona słynną włoską gościnnością ponieważ obsługa uznała, że nie możemy zamówić jednej pizzy na pół tylko każde z nas ma zamówić osobny talerz. Starałam się rozsądnie podejść do tematu i wytłumaczyć, że ja nie będę w stanie zjeść nawet połowy dania, ale tłumaczenie na nic. Jedna osoba, jeden talerz i kropka. W czasach, gdy tyle jedzenia się wyrzuca, gdy tak głośno mówi się o tym jakie to karygodne takie podejście jest wręcz niewiarygodne! Zjezdzilismy całą Europę i pierwszy raz spotkało nas coś podobnego. Jeszcze gdyby to był jakiś tani bar... Ale to coś aspiruje do miana restauracji. Żenada. Na szczęście po sąsiedzku jest knajpka, której właściciel widział całe zajście i uratował nas z opresji i przywrócił wiarę, że restauracje we Włoszech nie są gorsze od tych w reszcie Europy, a zarozumiali właściciele to wyjątek od reguły. Ponizsza odpowiedź właściciela doskonale pokazuje jaki to prostak... Kobietę z cukrzycą odsyła do McDonalda. Gratulacje! Mieszkam w Polsce i nawet tam takich buraków ze świecą szukać!

Super expensive for what we ate, very small portions, la though it was tasty. Plus most items on the menu have an asterisk that means they might be frozen The air conditioning makes such a noise it drives you crazy. Of course it was our fault for trusting a restaurant in such a location

Awesome Italian food. Great service and kind host of the restaurant.

Great last dinner in Milan. Loved the gnocchi and the kids had pasta with cheese sauce. Service was great and the food arrived quickly. This was a Saturday evening before the dinner rush around 6:30pm.

Very delicious. Papa Francesco and his wife are the stars and very friendly and charming. I love the portions; enough to be satisfied yet not so big you'll feel as if you'll burst. I highly recommend the "Tri di tortellini".

Very good place! An old nice couple is the owner, the old man always changes the fish and the ice, the old woman always care about the guests and their wishes. Waitresses are very nice too, I felt very good in this restaurant! :)

the food was all great and really worth the price! ossobuco and the milanese risotto will be my recommendation. the staff all helpful and friendly! the location also near duomo, which is perfect. definitely will come here again:)

excellent food and service. Everyone was extremely kind and welcoming. Food was delicious and not unreasonably priced at all. Home made pastas were delicious. Table next to us got some incredible looking meat as well! would return.

One of the best experiences from Milan. This family owned restaurant is one of the best Italian things you should experience in Milan. The taste was perfect and the fact that Papa Francesco prepared the pasta in front of us was so delightful. Prices are decent given the fact that the restaurant is near the Duomo. Lovely staff.

Highly recommend. Gluten-free pizza was amazing and special thanks to the sweetest waitress on earth.

Not sure what other people are talking about, the food and service were fantastic and not that expensive for a city like Milan. I had the seafood plate, high-key recommend.

Very nice food but they didn't like my slightly ripped in the corner 50 euros. They didn't accept it but thankfully we had more money with us. I wonder what would happen if we didn't.... (the money got slightly ripped by the zipper while opening my wallet)

Nice little restaurant with great location. Their pastas are very nice (they have gluten free options)

We had dinner there and really enjoyed it! The only thing that made it lose a star was the rather slow service. However the food was excellent, a bit pricey, but not bad for a touristy area. Definitely a solid choice if you are looking for some food near the Duomo in Milano!

Very nice place to have a family meal. Great service and very friendly staff. Delicious food as well.

Located in a hectic shopping mall, this restaurant provides variety of Italian foods and excellent service. Pizza is delicious and tasty but spaghetti contains quite much fatty ingredient.

We visited while travelling in Milan. A lovely friendly restaurant with great customer service. Papà was on form with the theatrics. Food was delicious. Do visit - you won’t be disappointed

Papa Francesco is amazing! Papa Francesco is a treasure and his wife. The gnocchi was from heaven. Cheesy and not too much. Location is amazing and service is 100 stars.

I read the reviews for this place and persuaded my partner into walking a few blocks away from the ‘touristy’ area in order to visit it. We were not disappointed. The pizzas were sensational and ridiculously good value - the same goes for the wider menu and drinks. Our only irk would be that we went at the end of a lunch serving and so had to flag down a waiter when we wanted something, given they were focused on the clean up ahead of the dinner opening. But this does not take away from the five stars - highly recommended!

Absolutely lovely! Highly recommend! The location is great, the food was very tasty, also the wine, and the owners are cute and extremely nice!

The food was very good but unfortunately not what we asked for. We wanted to eat noodles from the cheese body and came here especially for that and asked again if we were in the right place. Suddenly we were handed the plate with the pasta and explained that the cheese made ones were only available inside (we were sitting outside). For 18€ it's a shame. The service was very nice and relatively attentive.

I had a great experience last year at this restaurant. Great food and wine and very pleasent owners. I will definitely come back to this place. Un grande abbraccio a Papa Francesco!

Fantastisch food and a perfect italian expierence. Especially when you order the papa Francesco macaroni. He will give you a pasta performance and finish the pasta in melted cheese. Also, papa and mama Francesco are lovely people and will make you feel welcome. It's a must go when you visit Milan.

The staff very fun and welcome. We bought 2 risotto one with mushrums and this one is WOW very delicious and second risotto with squid ink actually it was good but i had pain stomach after and i ate squid ink before... Overall i suggest this resrtaurant as its a good advenature specially for tourists

Great pasta and risotto!! Good service and perfect location. Definitely worth it!

Pizza and the dessert were tasty and the service was rather quick. The obligatory table making cost of 3.50 per person (which is kind of obligatory tip) is not something I can support. I wouldn't expect more from a restaurant in such a touristic neighborhood.

Family style, cosy restaurant, with very friendly service and delicious home food

The margherita pizza yummy. The t bone steak are good too

Nice experience. The owner told about his famous Asian guest. And spent a round of limoncelli for my wife's birthday. The service is very good and even the boss is working and helps to feel the guests comfortable. Hopefully next time we can make a photo together
