Al Portico Dei Pensieri - LODI

I 'm stunned when I read ratings and comments such as excellent for this corner of the town square. I can only imagine that the authors have little experience of more authentic cooking. The bone I wish to pick here, and I did so directly with the owner, is that slapping a frozen chicken cutlet between two slabs of un-toasted burger bun, and then shovelling a mound of fries over the top, does not constitute a culinary treat in any way shape or form, or justify the price, for which, in over-prices Milan, I can get a juicy breadcrumbed chicken breast, well presented and tasting of more than just raw carbohydrates. My complaint fell on deaf ears. It 's a shame that people who are in the restaurant business solely for profit, are doshing out soulless pap, in location which deserves better. Objectively speaking, for the less discerning diner, the place is lively, service is quick, and there is the illusion of being in a chic ambient. Personally speaking, not for me; I like food prepared with heart, and proprietors who at least hold their hands up if called to task.

A beautiful restaurant frequented by locals. Whilst the menu is in Italian the waiter said he would translate as necessary. You can watch the pizzas being prepared with finesse by staff that are both professional and polite and well trained.

While there is a reasonably wide-ranging menu it's the burgers that keep me going back to this place. They are simply delicious and come with innovative additions. Some English spoken for those who need it.

Good food, perfect service, the only flaw and that you pay so much but you eat really little! in Mexican culture in theory prices should be lower. for the rest beautiful

A great place to have lunch in the center in praises with places inside and outside. cold dishes, hamburgers, meat and pizza to satisfy all palates. great service at the table and very good kitchen. average prices considering being in the center. toilets normally usable.
