Fodor's Review:
When a renowned local chef (Carlo Cracco) joined forces with the city's top gourmet food store (Peck), the results were not long in coming. Within three years, Cracco-Peck boasted two Michelin stars. The dining room is done in an elegant style that favors cool earth tones. Specialties include Milanese classics revisited – Cracco's take on saffron risotto and breaded veal cutlet should not be missed. Be sure to save room for the light, steam-cooked tiramisu. If you can't decide, opt for the gourmet menu (EUR 88 for six courses, excluding wine).

Great Disappointment
Posted by polarine75 from Washington, DC on 6/2/08
I have always found the Michelin ratings to be reasonably accurate until my dinner last week at Cracco. The food was lackluster, at best, and the service was shockingly poor. This was apparent not only at my table but also at neighboring tables. How it ever received 2 stars is beyond me.
Surely Not Milan's Best

I ate at Cracco last week with two friends and was very unimpressed. Pork cheeks were good and risotto Milanese didn't disappoint but otherwise the food was flat and uninspired. Too much invention not enough flavour. Service was fine but didn't make up for stuffy atmosphere and a price that was the only aspect to hit the heavens.
Overrated

My husband and I ate at Cracco Peck last week and were extremely dissapointed. The artful presentation and originality of the ingredients was appreciated but the taste was a letdown. Plus, it is completely overpriced. Our bill was 360 euros (about $500) which included a bottle of wine that was 120 euros. I felt that the sommelier was very pushy with the choice of wines - when I told him I wanted a wine in the 100-150 euro range he rolled his eyes at me. I would suggest trying a different restaurant in Milan for a fine dining experience or eating at the Peck store instead for lunch.
