  Best place in Milan. I can't wait to be back. It is always packed so try to make your reservation early. A friend suggested this place to me. I like to try different things but I got attached to this place lol. Everything is fresh and delicious. The smell of the food is pure art. They put love into it.

  Highly recommend making a reservation especially if you're going on a weekend. We we're lucky to get a table for 5 by booking on the same day.
  
  We only tried their pastas but I have to say, it was mouth watering delicious!
  
  Favorite one was the spaghetti with cherry tomatoes tossed in a wheel of grana pandano. They do the tossing right in front of you. Second favorite was the tagliatelle with prawns and pistachio. Third was the pesto.
  
  Dessert was not bad but not amazing so I'd just go out and get some gelato.
  
  We could have had more pasta because it was that yummy, but we decided to stop ourselves and not overeat.

  One of our best dining experiences in Milan was here at Nerino Dieci. We stopped by the night before to find them booked up, so we made reservations for the next night. Upon arriving the next night, we were promptly seated.
  
  For starters we had their mussels in their classic, simple sauce. I highly recommend ordering this. The butter used for the sauce is very light and allows the other flavors in the broth to flourish. I dipped every piece of bread into this broth until there was nothing left.
  
  For our second course, we shared tagliatelle with prawns and crushed pistachios. Another great selection that I'd recommend! Pasta was cooked perfectly. It had an excellent balance of firmness and tenderness. It was a savory and rich dish, yet it was not heavy.
  
  For our main course, I had the beef tartare while my girlfriend had the pistachio crusted tuna steak. The beef tartare was made table side similarly to how Mexican restaurants prepare guacamole table side. The crusting on the fish was outstanding. I'll look to add crushed nuts to my frying batters. It came out deliciously!
  
  The service was very attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was simply superb. The food was prepared quickly and freshly. We had a seat right next to the kitchen so we had the opportunity to see the chefs in action!

  We made a reservation on their website on a weekday before leaving the US, which I highly recommend doing. The best restaurant experience we had in Milan! We shared a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to start. My pasta was prepared Parmigiano-Reggiano (cheese wheel) style with fresh tomatoes right in front of you. You also get a generous portion of cheese shavings on top of the pasta. My mouth is salivating just thinking about this delicious concoction. The hubs had the clam squid pasta, which was slightly spicy and oh so good. You can definitely taste the sea in every bite. Both dishes tasted so fresh and I'd highly recommend going!
  
  Best to believe that we'll be coming back!

  Menessled in an alley in Milan is the charming restaurant of Nerino Dieci. The restaurant doesn't open until the evening, so when we arrived there was a line formed outside full of regulars. This is always a good sign.
  
  Once inside, the staff were full of some of the most personable people I've ever witnessed. Very welcoming of foreigners and showed us the restaurant. The place is long but small in size. If you have the right seat, you can see directly into the kitchen.
  
  I had an order of calamari to start, along with the complimentary bread crumbs that come with the meal. The calamari was good, but the bread crumbs were delicious. Freshly baked and amazing. You def have to make sure you don't fill up on this before your meal!
  I then had a pasta and mussle dish which was very good. Nice portions and flavorful. All dishes went perfectly with the great wine selection they have here as well.
  
  Definitely a great introduction to Milan as this was our first meal. Highly recommend reservations as the restaurant was fully booked when we dined there. The staff will let you know up front if they can sit you at a regular table or a high top. Either is fine honestly. Great spot!
