My mom and I loved the food at San Giorgio as we did dine in and takeaway back in November. Come early when they open as this restaurant gets packed and waits could be lengthy. The prices are highly affordable and the quality of the dishes were impressive. Flavors and portions were generous and cooked to near perfection. The pistachio pasta was by far my favorite - I crave this still today! Service staff work extremely hard here, they are constantly busy but they were always attentive - the main young guy working there was always a treat to see. Highly recommend but come early or be patient for a table - worth the wait and it will not disappoint!

It was a restaurant we found and walked into at the last minute. The pasta with pistachio sauce was much more delicious than I expected! The Milanese-style cutlet was decent. The Parma ham pizza had a great crust, but the ham was a bit too salty. But! If someone asked me for a restaurant recommendation near Milano Centrale, I would recommend this place! The cost-performance wasn’t bad either.

This is our second visit in a week, and it says a lot that we could not resist coming back so soon. The staff are incredibly friendly and warm, especially Carlo, who makes you feel welcome. He’s sincere, chatty, and genuinely attentive. Even though the restaurant was full, service remained prompt and thoughtful throughout. Carlo truly made us feel at home. The ambience was casual and a little noisy, yet it felt warm, cozy, and welcoming throughout our meal. The restaurant feels family-run, with a lot of heart and care put into both the food and service. The pastas were full of flavor, and the texture was just right for our taste — not overly al dente. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly, with meat that was tender and succulent. The seafood in the various dishes of spaghetti or linguine we ordered was fresh and delicious, and the gnocchi stood out for being light, soft, and beautifully balanced in texture. To top it all off, the prices are very reasonable for the quality offered. A fantastic spot for a satisfying Italian meal — great food, great service, and excellent value. Highly recommended.

San Giorgio marked my first encounter with a trully authentic Italian pizza and it was simply amazing. I was surprised by the overall quality of the restaurant, being at the same time a major hotspot for locals. The menu is diverse and with a hefty amount of pizzas. You can't go wrong here. The prices are also amazing, considering the quality of the products. Really recommend coming here.

Can’t say enough great things about this restaurant. Was recommended by our Air BnB host. Great vibe, great service and the staff enjoyed interacting with customers. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Food was outstanding! It was so good that we ate there 3 times during our 5 day stay. The prices were very reasonable as well. Great selection of pizzas and pastas. Will definitely return next time we are in Milan.

What a fun and delicious treat it was to dine at San Giorgio. We were lucky to get a seat for our group of six. Staff were so friendly and welcoming we felt like honored guests. We tried 2 seafood appetizers to share and 4 different pizzas and everyone loved their choices. House wine was a hit and prices were reasonable. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great place! The pizza is absolutely delicious – with a crispy base, high-quality ingredients, and perfectly baked. The atmosphere is very pleasant and cozy, perfect for both a date and a relaxed evening with friends. The staff are extremely kind, friendly, and attentive. I would especially like to mention the guy with the curly hair – very kind, responsive, and truly professional. He makes you feel welcome from the very first moment. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend this place!

We have been in Italy for 2 weeks now and experienced a lot of great restaurants while here, but this was hands down the best food we have had here. They take no reservations so come early, as the place fills quickly and with good reason. The service is exemplary (someone at a table one over from us dropped their fork and before they finished picking it up, the waiter had brought another to her), very friendly, and ensure that you are taken care of. The food is outstanding (I ordered pizza both days, it was was delicious, and can easily feed two), while my family ordered risotto and pasta and could not finish what they were given (though they tried very hard). And you cannot beat the price - eating here for two days cost us the same as one meal in Rome or Florence. Limoncello shots before you leave is the cherry on top. If you are visiting Milan, check out this hidden gem. You will not be disappointed.
