Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia: A Minimalistic Family Gastro-Temple on the Edge of Milano, with over 50 Years of History, Is Still on Top.

Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia, Via Privata Raimondo Montecuccoli, Milan, Metropolitan City of Milan, Italy / 06 июня 2017

This place here is indeed about the food and nothing else, even the interior design is fucking nothing so that people are not distracted.

€145 for a set.

Oh well, it isn’t for free. And what did you expect? Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux, part of les grandes tables du Monde. Besides two Michelin stars which on its own is nothing special.

Usually Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy are hell and Israel, but here it seems like the first two titles do the job and they’re given for a reason.

Obviously not for beautiful plates.

I’ll tell you right away, it is fucking delicious.

Somethings in the set are more interesting, somethings less so, but in general, everything is talented.

Now, first things first.

You are driving for a very long time until posh neoclassic buildings on Via Mosca grow into boring plane three-story blocks.

An unremarkable street, opaque windows, a bell at the entrance – everything’s the way we love it (c).

We enter. White interior, almost as white as in a hospital, without a thing. And that is good or did you come here to look at the pictures? Despite that it is Monday night, the place is full.

Of course, we get the set. As a rule, by means of compliments I understand if the food’s going to be tasty or it’s just some “photo-food”. Here it was the third dish: A mussel with cold buffalo ricotta, pea flowers, tomato and celery. Such a candy that blows up in your mouth and rests there as an echo for another five minutes.

Further, it is necessary to mention the super talented soups, all with peas and beans, endowed with a heap of herbs/sprouts, extremely complicated and with taste nuances.

The next victory is the tuna tartare sauce clamped between the thinnest dry bread layers with additives — wow!

After relaxing just for a moment, we get their next move: Crude cuttlefish with a constructor! You cut it lengthwise, divide it and eat from the right side / from the left side, having two contrary in taste structures. The bomb!

There was also quite worthy lamb, but without revelations.

But the THREE PASTAS AFTERWARDES! Oh my gosh! Simply fucking amazing! Whether the first one with mashed potatoes and tomatoes inside on the substrate of crude carabineros, whether the tortelli with meat ragout or the last one, the masterpiece, spaghetti “without a thing” in onion sauce. Easily fucking possible to take a bite of the plate in oblivion.

Then there was a strawberry lollipop in ricotta foam and a citrus «notebook» as a final point.

Here our report comes to an end. Thank you all. The outlay is finished.

PS: oh yeah, and excellent, really great wine accompaniment.
