"Michelin Man Matias Perdomo is an Argentinian with a preference for Molecular Gastronomy, influenced by such greats as the Roca Brothers and Ferran Adrià, running a kitchen and a dining room overflowing till late into the night in an unusual part of Milan. Far from the Duomo and the fashion boutiques of Milan's trendier areas, Matias has instead chosen to inhabit a former trattoria along the canals in the Navigli District. So far, he has one Michelin Star that's more than deserved. Could he get more? It isn't likely. Adorably, Matias doesn't play the game that so many chefs do in pursuit of Michelin's good graces. The restroom is out back (as in, next to the deep freeze and where the employees wash their hands), the chairs are uncomfortable, the tables are often shared with fellow patrons you've never met, the kitchen itself might be too small to ever meet the full demand of another star or two. Yet Matias is a Michelin Man. He's creating the kind of food that people will wait any amount of time for, return over and over to enjoy and tell their friends about for weeks, months, maybe even years after. He's friendly, making his rounds through the dining room and resting a hand on the shoulder of a pretty Italian woman in a way that's not unwelcome, smiling with a grin that can't be anything but disarming and generally making friends with any patron who enters his door. Al Pont de Ferr is a place where everyone saves room for dessert and everyone leaves happy."

I recommend for the nice food and service. Be mindful it is a bit pricy (24eur for a risotto). Service is good and wine list is fantastic. We had a bottle of very good wine from the organic white wines (1 full page in the wine list!).

Al Pont de Ferr is in Navigli area, it's a Michelin Guide restaurant. The place is cosy. Love the breads they provide. The dishes are quite good with creativity and fair price, but I expect more. The training of service should be better. I am sure the restaurant could improve much more.

We could not eat much due to our poor appetite. But whatever we tried was excellent. The fish was cooked perfectly. The tiramisu was so special. A definite must visit. The kitchen works silently and effortlessly. Kudos to the team.

Nivigli is a cozy area by the canals in Milan and that's where you find this place. They both have a ala carte and a set menu. We had the thought and taste menu which was really interesting with a lot of new tastes and things I actually never eaten before, like snails and pigeon. We also had the wine package where they combined the food with different wines which was really nice. The food was good and it was fun trying something different

This place is awesome. Go for the good, the wine, Maida and the incredibly nice female waiter, who’s name we did not get.
Cuttlefish ink spaghetti with swordfish, polpo, dolce - everything is delicious.

I understand there is creativity, research and incredible knowledge behind the dishes, however, I don't like to eat a tomato which is actually a chocolate dessert and a mozzarella which is an ice-cream. Interesting experience but not for me.

Along side the Navigli, in one of the Milan area most famous, where "la movida" does not end never, there is this Italian franchish restaurant. Elaborates plates as entree, mains and dessert and great wine choices. The lady owner has a incredible food culture and her explanation of each recipe and wine will be part of the happening.

The location is great, beautiful view of the canal, good for people watching. The service is very friendly. The food is terrible, the fish was still frozen in the center and when I returned it the chef said it was perfect. The presentation is interesting and innovative but the flavor is just bland going on not good. Totally not worth it for the price. Don’t waste a meal in Milan at this restaurant.
