I'm back in San Francisco visiting my sister and as always she has made a reservation at Ristorante Milano. We have been going there for over 10 years and it is hands down the best Italian restaurant. Their gnocchi is the lightest I have ever tasted, and their other homemade noodles are also satisfying. Sometimes I go for the veal.... more

Ristorante Milano is a neighborhood restaurant on lower Russian Hill that serves delicious food and good wine at reasoanable prices. It is a small place and can be a little noisy like most Italian trattoria but the food is excellent and the service is good.

Seemed like the staff could not be bothered that we were there at all.Ordered a glass of wine... more

We love Italian food and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals - yum! - and the wine list was very good. It is a small and hence slightly noisy venue but that just... more

Wow! Surprised to find the two previous reviews of this restaurant so negative as we had a terrific time here on our California road trip. My husband found Ristorante Milano on another dining website when the first two places that the St. Francis concierge recommended couldn't accommodate us. From the moment we walked in the door (albeit early on a... more
