Em’s star rating
Great spot in Porta Venezia if you want a relaxed aperitivo or casual dinner without spending too much. The atmosphere is probably its biggest strength: cosy, lively, and very “Milan after work” with a nice outdoor seating area.
Fun fact
“pesa pubblica” in Italian refers to a public weighing station. The building originally had a functional role in the neighbourhood where goods were weighed for trade and taxation.
