L'Altro Luca & Andrea

Adorable place along the canal in Milan. Perfect spot for a coffee or Aperol, to rest and enjoy life passing by. In the morning it is a place to enjoy sunshine. Very friendly people, good food

Very busy, fast-paced, perfect for a quick lunch break with a nice view. Our risotto and zucca ravioli were great.

Excellent place at Navigli to grab your dinner! Fresh and super tasty pasta. Tiramisu is also worth the try. The prices are on budget between 15-20 per plate. Would definitely recommend!

Great pasta and overall good lunch. Just a bit difficult to have the waiter's attention when the restaurant started to get busy.

The food at Luca e Andrea is delicious and the people watching is nice along the water! My husband had the Il sempre presente ossobuco di vitello con risotto alla Milanese and it was just the risotto he was looking for. I had the Tagliatelle zucchine, salvia e pancetta di "Parma" croccante and it was amazing! The pasta tasted freshly made. There was a balance of flavors between the zucchini and pancetta (bacon) where the zucchini absorbed the flavor of the pancetta almost making it seem like there was more pancetta than there was without the dish being too salty. Even though the pasta was substantial, it did not feel too heavy on the stomach. I am still craving this dish two days later. Delicious!

Summary: Unreceptive manager, quite delusional and made racist comments. Incomplete service, yet charging €3 per head Disappointing overall experience, not worth the money. Comment on experience : The menu offered many choices and gave us high expectations of the food. We went in and ordered the Spinach ricotta ravioli, Milanese Risotto and Sliced steak Fassona. The food came at a reasonable speed and we were happy with our first courses, but during the meal we had to ask for bread, and the steak arrived really early, before we even started to have our first courses. The first courses were slightly above average with good flavour and portion, but the sliced steak Fassona was sat here for so long that it went cold. So we flagged the waiter and asked for this to be "heated" （whereas steaks should never be heated as it is common sense where you heat steak you would overcook it）, which actually meant re-fire one. （originally we asked for medium rare） That same plate came back dry, uncooked and totally disappointing. We then asked for a new one directly, and the dish came back as medium well, whereas it should have been medium rare... We were too hungry so we still ate it, but left one slice and asked for the manager. When informed about the issues, the manager was very defensive and did not take customer input in a serious manner, she reiterated multiple times that we didn't ask for courses to be separated （as she "assumed" foreigners would have courses at the same time, which came over as a quite racist comment）, and said that we didn't ask for a re-fire the first time. （I did try to explain a re-heated steak means a re-fired steak as you can't cook steaks twice but she insisted that it was my fault not to directly ask for one） She also did not appreciate the comment about the need to ask for bread ,whereas in Italy（or italian restaurants）, bread should be served directly to the table right from the start. Overall, the problem was mostly not the food, the service and management were the issues.

We read really bad reviews of this place, but it was the only one open for lunch around 17:00 and we were hungry. We only took vegetarian food- Milanese risotto and tomato sauce pasta. The dishes were ok, much better than we expected. But, the food was not worth the price and the staff wasn’t friendly at all. Would not come back, but not too bad.

FYI reservations have to be made to be able to sit inside the restaurant. Otherwise you can only eat at the terrace. Very flavorfull pasta dishes but the winner is most definitely their Milanese Risotto with Ossobuco. Dont forget to order their home made Tiramisu! Its truly divine!
