Not coming back

This place disappointed me a bit. They say it's the first vegan pizzeria in Italy (and probably the only one) but the pizzas were really different from what I thought they would be. Very thin and almost no vegan mozzarella. we took 1 starter to share, 2 pizzas and a drink and we paid almost 50euros. very expensive.

One of my favourite restaurants in Milano

I always try to go back to Il Grande Cerchio when I get the chance.
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, a wide selection of good food, every time I find something interesting to do and eat.
I love their aperitivos, and their loveful style.
A lot of food, but I especially like their vegan kebap!

Pros: Atmosphere, Staff, Food

Cons: Too much choice, Outside seating on the street

Midday menu - nothing extraordinary

I visited Il Grande Cerchio following the excellent reviews here and was quite disappointed by what I found. The midday menu was pretty simple and consisted of only a dozen items. I picked the set menu with red onion risotto (far too salty), seitan in lemon sauce (tasteless, very thin stripes of something I wouldn't have identified as seitan) and a chocolate dessert (ok). I like the concept of Il Grande Cerchio and enjoyed seeing that a veg restaurant seems to be quite popular with people working in the area, but in my opinion this restaurant is very far from deserving the title of best restaurant in Milan. Maybe the chef was not at his or her best...

Yes but the service is too slow

It is NOT the best vegetarian restaurant in the world ! The food is good. The waitresses are kind but they don't have time for serving all the tables so...be prepared to wait loooooonger...The menu now exists also in english ! Lot of choices which is interesting when you are fed up with italian pastas ! Damper : the food is not bio and not always healthy (for example : tempura = grilled mixed vegetables in oil). Lot of dishes are vegan. Need reservation !!

Pros: Somes vegan dishes, Menu in english, Variety

Cons: Service too long !!!!

Great food, maybe the best veg restaurant in Milan

This is a very good vegetarian restaurant. Food is great. Environment is very comfortable. The boss and the waiter are very welcome. Location is closed to sub-way station which is very convenient. Only thing need to be mentioned is the menu is written in Italian, maybe because many food are from original or home made. Still strongly recommended.

Pros: Food, Environment, Location

The BEST VEGAN FOOD in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!

Review: I never thought I'd come across a restaurant/chef that so clearly stood out as the best on the planet. Muscolo di Grano stands for the signature protein. It is a combination of wheat and lentil. It has an amazing flavor and texture, selecting a dish containing it is paramount to your dining experience. Vegan dishes are clearly marked with a sprout & muscolo di grano dishes with a *. I ordered the vegan pizza with muscolo di grano & the fresh made pasta with it as well. They were both the most amazing dishes I've had in my entire life. We also split a chocolate pair torte / lemon liquor. The service is so friendly and helpful. There are so many choices on the menu you will be lost! Kristin had the polenta, which I stole many amazing bites! I really can not come up with words to adequately describe the meal or the experience, it was truly the best in the world. If you are in Milan you can not miss Ristorante Muscolo. If you are a vegan searching for perfection come to Milan, eat at Ristorante Muscolo di Grano you will find the best cuisine on the planet! Prices are reasonable, wine is organic and extraordinary! The staff is beyond compare! Also, it is very convenient because it is directly outside the Wagner Metro stop! The highlight of our trip to Italy!!!!!!

Pros: muscolo di grano, friendly staff, fresh pasta!
