We didn’t have reservations this evening. We decided to wing it and ended up in the Brera area of Milan. Highly recommend visiting the area if you are in the city. Kind of a chairs in the street loud neighborhood full of lively restaurants and hawkers trying to get you in. Fran was in the mood for meat and we found a place that had a number of meat dishes on the menu: il Kaimano. The reviews for this place are very mixed. It’s loud, the staff a bit obnoxious, and it’s a bit on the pricy side (but honestly not terrible). I really think if you’re not fun loving or don’t understand Italian family dynamics you could be put off by it. It’s a family restaurant. Honestly it reminded me of my childhood with loud family members yelling at each other over food. That said, if you take it as the cultural show it is, and accept the food isn’t Michelin starred, it’s a fun experience and I’d recommend it to others. As a matter of fact we canceled our planned dinner at a Michelin restaurant tomorrow night and we’re returning the the Brera Neighborhood for Aperitivo and Dinner - Likely not Il Kaimano, it’s fine but hey there are lots of other places to try. A few pictures from dinner:
