La Società Milano

Interesting concept of restaurants. However the fixed menu should be explained in advance. As well as a super hot ( red chilli 🌶️🌶️🌶️) dish should be highly notified way way in advance because some of clients might have a problem. As well we were not asked about the cocktail start and we were forced to proceed with the wine. The table near the cuisine and toilet as well disappointed us because all waiters continuously passed every 2-3 min near us to take in or out new plates plus other people continuously went to the toilet. The experience could be much better. Imho.

Overall the restaurant was a disappointment. We reserved online and once we got there, even if the restaurant was almost empty, we were not allowed to sit in the front area of the restaurant, we had to go way in the back.. we did not want that. The person serving us was the chef himself, which is very strange. He served throughout the whole dinner.. however at all times with an attitude. From the moment we sat down he told us that he will take care of us, but without explaining anything. We had to keep on asking for a menu, for any directions on what should we expect. He did not like that. It seemed like he would choose the food for us. I understand that this concept exists, but tell us ahead of time! There is no information about this while booking. We ended up discovering that there was a 5 or 8 courses preset menu after but the chef kept on rolling his eyes at every question we had, no patience! He talked very loud with every table he’d serve, so loud that all the tables would stop their own conversation.. The food was below average. For such a high cost place, of course the food should match in taste, flavor, quality. It was a big disappointment.. each dish had a lot of ingredients but somehow their flavors weren’t bought into the final dishes.. We would not return or recommend this place.

Incredible experience from the best chef in Italy and probably in the world! Very special food, amazing presentation. Makes you feel special. Highly recommend this place!

Strong DON’T for dinner. We went with menu of 5 courses and it was just bad. I am not even talking about value for money, it was bad for whatever price is. They try to be a fine dining with extraordinary ingredients combinations, but they forgot that it should be at least eatable. Unfortunately we were extremely hungry and too exhausted to leave and search for another place. But now at least I can help someone avoid eating at this place. First course was a mushroom spicy as hell. It is not something you expect in Italy, while this spiciness spoiled the single decent meal in the whole menu. The second corse was acceptable. Not for 95 euro menu, but eatable (I mean, big part of the dish was mayo and in this case i am not sure if it spoiled or saved it). After that the rest of the menu was a little above the level where you can put it into your mouth without throwing up. Barely warm pasta with black truffle and dark chocolate was exceptional: I had never thought one can spoil black truffle. The service was okay, but very slow. Maybe it is a cultural thing. The only good thing about this dinner was wine, it was really great. Also want to add that I have experience both in Italian and fine dining (including Michelin stared restaurants) and I am very open to unusual combinations, but “gourmet” kitchen is not just mixing strange ingredients together. We haven’t try cocktails here, maybe they are worth it, but the food is awful.

I’m use to enjoy Michelin star o ranked restaurants along the world, as well as local restaurants in every trip. We chose La Società Milano for our new years diner and sadly it was like a scene from Beetle juice. Food: menu were dishes that didn’t connect between them. Balance of flavors were hard to find because of excess of salt or acid. Cooking techniques mistreated the product either serving them under cooked, over cooked, or cold. Service: even dough it was a busy night and were not enough employees to assure a Michelin service, they do their best. Service is an important part , if not the most important when experiencing a meal. They were overwhelmed and had difficulty with serving time/pace. We got to midnight with glasses of water instead of Prosecco and two plates away from dessert. Atmosphere: room temp was uncomfortable at the beginning, music was over conversation level (loud). Chef voice could be heard from the kitchen scolding service. An extra bottle of wine was over charged . Sadly it was a very bad and sad experience for our new years dinner. It would be interesting to understand as a restaurant that responsibility comes with success . If you are not capable to serve full house on certain circumstances, don’t do it because harms your establishment. I would recommend the owners to go over their business gaps and fix them. To Michelin to review what happened. I’m confused about Michelin criteria.

Absolutely amazing experience. We've been traveling in Italy for several weeks and this was probably one of our best dining experiences. The chef and owner were incredibly friendly, the service was superb along with the ambiance of the restaurant and the drinks were delicious but the real star was the food. Everything we ate was magical! Especially recommend getting the tiramisu, as it comes with a special surprise! The price seemed justified for the quality of food and service we received, pretty in line with what you should expect in most major cities. Overall, I would highly recommend!

Our experience was exceptional, heavenly even. Giulia and Andrea made us feel at home, and we were blown away by the creative, delicious flavor combinations of Andrea's beautiful dishes. This by far exceeded the level of meals we've previously had at Michelin star restaurants. The food, the atmosphere, the wonderful service, even the immaculate bathrooms - do yourself a favor and have dinner at the La Societá Milano.

Highly disappointing experience for a restaurant in the Michelin guide, especially on New Year’s Eve. We opted for the 8-course meal, but the evening was far from enjoyable. Our table was next to the bathroom, under a blasting speaker (we had to ask for the volume to be turned down), and directly beneath a heater blowing hot air onto our faces (we also had to ask for that to be turned off). Some (not all) of the staff were unpolite and downright disrespectful. I understand working on New Year’s isn’t ideal, but taking it out on customers is unacceptable. I do appreciate that they were very careful with the food allergies and they checked several times to ensure everything was okay. As for the food, the first two courses were decent, but the rest were not at all. They served cold pasta—cold pasta in Italy, really? The chicken was dry, and dessert was an underwhelming 10–15 cm square of panettone with mascarpone. To make matters worse, some of the panettone we got were soggy while other parts were so dry they were impossible to cut. And to top it all off, they tried to overcharge us on the bill. Thankfully, we double-checked, and when we pointed it out, the response from the staff was laughable—like two clowns saying, “Oops, now it’s all good, hehe,” while checking the prices on their phones (they didn’t even have them in their system). For a restaurant in the Michelin guide, this was an embarrassing experience. Definitely not worth the price or the hype.

The beef opera was all fat and very difficult to cut through. Didn't eat it at all and sent it back. I thought they would bring a new piece but they didn't and took 20 euro off the bill for it, but still we didn't eat it. I would not recommend the beef. The rest of our meal and service were great.

The drinks were amazing, above and beyond! But the food was not as promising as the drinks. The petroleo pasta was not our favorite but the irish beef was good. The I love Now York tastes like a sneakers! Would recommend for drinks only.

We are so lucky we stumbled into this gem! My girlfriend, Jade, and I were in Milan for fashion weekend and ended up walking by this restaurant while on the go. We thought it was very "cute" and "perfect for our girls night" that evening so we went to change and headed back for supper and cocktails. So glad we did! Julia and staff were so fantastic, warm and charming I would recommend to anyone!! The cocktails were unique, and yes we tried six, so I believe this is an accurate depiction. We ordered the ricotta flan and veggies for the starts and the ricotta was to die for. Veggies - meh, save it for the main course! For mains we ordered the gnocchi, the spaghetti tartare and a mussel and bean dish from Naples. The gnocchi and the spaghetti were the main stars; utterly fantastical, but the mussel dish was very odd. A sort of cannelloni bean type soup with pasta noodles. But they were very gracias when I explained I didn't care for it. Lastly, we finished with the tiramisu and wow wow wow! I have never experienced a tiramisu served this manner. You know how in the States we can order "guacamole tableside" well in Milan at this place it's tiramisu tableside. So cool and so so good!! Can't wait to come back and enjoy more incredible dishes!!!!! Thank you!!

The restaurant looked lovely and very trendy, and the staff really wanted to make it right. However, we truly regret doing the 8-course tasting (No. 8 on the menu). I gravitated towards the description, "creative and imaginative," as this was intended to be a birthday treat. As the meals came out, we were shocked to be consistently provided with a "smoked fish" taste (ravioli, rice/risotto, and straight up fish). We expressed our disappointment in a kind way to the staff and they truly wanted to continue to make it better. However, at the end of the day this tasting didn't live up to the vision provided. The owner, who is passionate about her restaurant and kind to speak to us, explained that mackerel and eel are very distinct tastes, and it is something that foreigners may not understand. Despite the curious remarks, it was expected from us that a tasting menu should be unique and selective (as described on the menu), and also perhaps provide very different tastes. Also not to be total snob, but mackerel and eel aren't deemed superb options. In the end, seems as though the move is to order what speaks to you on the menu and avoid the tasting menu. We enjoyed the tiramisu and heard neighboring guests gasp with excitement about their meals. Just trying to be real.
