AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Maccheroni’s supplì earns unanimous praise for its crisp shell and molten, savory center, with reviewers celebrating the restaurant’s warm, unpretentious take on Roman comfort food.
“The supplì is generous in shape and weight. The frying is open on one side — a mistake, but the temperature is right. The outside is super crunchy, the inside is good but the flavor gets a bit lost. It's extremely oily, very very greasy — I expected a drier fry, especially at these prices. Still, for €3 it's acceptable. Better to come here for the supplì than for the coffee.”

A modern, expensive restaurant in Brera that self-proclaims its carbonara as the number one in Milan, but the carbonara is just okay — too pale and lacking character — while the butter and parmesan pasta is excellent; the service is good but the prices are excessive, the tables are too small, and the overall experience feels overpriced.
Dishes mentioned
Carbonara
The carbonara looks beautiful, but I find it a bit too pale — I expected a deeper yellow. The guanciale is cut really big, crunchy yet melting. The creaminess is there, but it lacks that wow factor. Our tablemate gave it a 6/10, said it was undersalted. For me it's a 7, maybe 7.5 — definitely not the number one in Milan.
Burro e Parmigiano
Wow, this is incredible. 10,000 times better than the carbonara. The cooking is perfect — al dente, right serving temperature, super creamy, well-seasoned. Look at that cream underneath. A real lady pasta with butter. I'd give it a standing ovation.
Supplì
