La Corte di San Maurilio Duomo 1982

Probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in my life. The seafood pasta was exceptional and the carbonara was the best one I’ve ever tried. Everything is prepared fresh on the spot and you can really taste that. The chef is not just a chef but a host who will entertain you, passionate about his cooking and will make you feel at home, as if you’re visiting one of your Italian friends in their house. A truly unforgettable experience and would love to go there again. Grazie mille!!

Wow!!! What an incredible find!!! For our first night in Milan, we couldn’t have chosen better. La Corte di San Maurillio is tucked away on a little side street, where Chef Maurizio himself greeted us at the door and welcomed us like old friends. His passion, handwritten menu, and even his iPhone photo gallery made ordering a delight. We savored bruschetta with burrata, seafood spaghetti, grande ravioli, and an unforgettable tiramisu—hands down the best pasta (and dessert!) we’ve ever had. The food, the wine, the warmth… it all exceeded every expectation. We’ve already booked our next visit before leaving Milan! Jim and Sandy

I was excited to find the place with authentic food in the ʼluxurious’ middle of the city. The restaurant has unique atmosphere and in the heart of it of course the Chef 👨‍🍳 . Passionate person who is taking care of everything. Perhaps, such an open communication among the Chefs and visitors is not for everyone (based on some previous reviews), but to me it was 100% pleasant and natural experience 😉 The food is good and kinda nonna (grandma)-style.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Milan Tucked away on a quiet street just a short walk from the Basillica, this unassuming little spot turned out to be one of the most memorable meals we had in Milan. From the moment the first dish arrived, it was clear the food was crafted with care and intention. The pasta was fresh and perfectly al dente, especially the carbonara—rich, silky, and full of flavor. The prosciutto was another standout: delicate, perfectly aged, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We ended the meal with a tiramisu that was light, luscious, and the perfect finale. By the end of the night, we realized we were the only guests in the restaurant—effectively enjoying a private dining experience with the chef himself. He gave us his full attention, not in a showy way, but with genuine passion. He’s not interested in packing the place out—his joy comes from sharing his love of food with those who truly appreciate it. Yes, it is not the cheapest —but absolutely worth every euro. If after quality, freshness, made to order authentic food, this is your must try. My phone battery was nearly dead, so all we managed was a picrure of the wine assortment in the start where we then got lost in tbe amazing food and a memorable photo with the incredible chef on our way out. Totally unpretentious, highly personal, and unforgettable. Highly recommend. Telling all our friends 🧡
