in milan, italy (march’24)

touch down milan and headed straight to this new-style pasta specialised shop by porto romana, love the range and diversity of pasta dishes here. generous portions and good flavours, prices are also decent. but for me i guess it lacks the heartiness and feels a bit like a tourist-centric hotspot.

the signature spaghetti with yellow tomato was refreshing, stracciatella quality wasn’t milky enough to bring out its flavour from the tomato, i thought the pink prawn tartare wasn’t also the freshest. busiate with sheep ragu really lacked heartiness and depth of flavour, but the rabbit liver ragu was interesting to eat, the paccheri pasta was also perfectly al dente.

ended with a slightly dry frangipane, but love the very light whipped mascarpone in the tiramisu. a good lunch spot to visit with a group of friends but albeit a bit of a tourist hotspot.
