Ristorante Acanto

This review is for the wonderful dinner we had at the restaurant with our friends a week ago. Ambiance is always perfect for conversation; also elegant without being stuffy or theatrical. Great place for a business meal or simply a solid dinner. Every single thing we ate was delicious. We had eggplant appetizer, lobster, spaghetti with clams, branzino al cartoccio…gelato, chocolate dome, etc. It was all delicious. Very good wine list too. Best service from Nicola ALWAYS! He’s a gem. Already planning a comeback. Note: another reviewer noted that people were being rude and staring at them and incredibly, we did experience this same weird behaviour. The table next to us kept their attention and eyes literally fixated at us. Rude and weird. LOL. Nothing the restaurant can do or be faulted about.

I was there for dinner I could say that it’s the best one in Milan I have ever tried it ! Service was elegant! and food was flavorful! I would definitely go back for dinner again for sure 👍🏼

Everything about this place is excellent. Upon my arrival it was a bit “awkward” but as the evening progressed it felt like I was right at home. I attended with my mother to end our two week stay touring Italy, and I’m glad I chose this place. Our waiter was excellent and charming. I wish I got his name. We were also greeted by a woman with an Afro puff ponytail. Very lovely woman who also gave me their business cards with their other locations. One is in Beverly Hills which I will check out. We got the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Absolutely worth the price. My mother enjoyed everything from beginning to end which is all that mattered to me. When I arrive in Milan I will be back to this place. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of were the other people in attendance which has nothing to do with the restaurant. The looks I received from other people (who again are NOT the staff) I found distasteful. Some of these tourists are so rude and need a lesson in manners 😒

We had a family dinner at this restaurant. My daughter and I were charmed by the staff and level of service. The staff did not leave our side for a long time, always trying to anticipate our wishes. They were very nice and friendly from the moment we arrived until the end of our dinner. Everything we tried was beyond praise. Excellent Italian cuisine! Everything was perfectly cooked, the octopus and beef in the pasta were very soft and tender! Amazingly delicious pasta, artichokes, desserts! Excellent selection of wines! We were very pleased! Next time we are in Milan, we will definitely have dinner here!

Reserved this restaurant for an anniversary. First noted the very luxury style decoration, the environment was very amazing. The waiters were absolutely fantastic, especially Nikola (our waiter who was the funniest waiter I have ever seen). Food was delicious and at the end we got a surprise for our anniversary as a plate with "happy anniversary" written in chocolate and a candle. The sommelier was also very professional with the wine list and provided us with excellent wines with our foods. We loved it and will for sure come back for another fantastic dinner. Thank you.
