Kusina Ni Lodi

To simply put, the best Filipino restaurant - possibly not only in Milan nor entirety of Italy but possibly the entirety of Europe. The food is excellent and its quality is superb, but the best thing is the comfort the food and the Owner, Franco, brings. Even if the restaurant is busy, he doesn't fail to entertain his customers whether it may be a small gesture by wishing them "buon appettito" or checking out his customer outside if they're cold. I most definitely recommend the restaurant for anyone craving Filipino food, especially if you're missing our Home Country - food here will bring you the comfort you're missing or the taste of the Philippines.

Amazing food! You can tell they were passionate about their dishes. We felt right at home in the restaurant, both the staff and the owner were friendly and welcoming. It's a little slice of the Philippines in Milan. We were so excited for the Halo halo that we forgot to take pictures!

Everyone should try this place out. Really good filipino food at a great price. My wife loved her si sig that she got. I loved the special lomi and I felt as if my Lola cooked it up for me. I asked for fried garlic and the waitress got it right away. Super friendly staff and quality food.

Just moved to this neighborhood, I found a great Filipino restaurant near my house. I think it’s a family restaurant, the chef is probably famous enough as I saw some articles about him on the wall. The girls there were so fun, they were vibing to the music, sometimes they forgot our ordered dishes but I don’t mind. The food is authentic, the cool thing is they have the BBQ intestines which other Filipino restaurants hardly have. Hope they can add bulalo soup to the menu.

Ciao Franco, many thanks for welcoming us so warmly today. We really enjoyed the food, which was freshly prepared. The quality is at the highest level. It was very authentic. The best filipino cuisine outside of Philippines! Regards to your youngest son who also took the time to play with our children. Best Halo-Halo worldwide! You are a very honest chef and have a healthy mindset which is why you are in the Top 10 in Milano. We had a nice time at your restaurant. Nice to chat with you. Recommendation to the fullest! 11/10 points! Ingat. R+J&kids from Germany

I’ve been seeing this restaurant around for a long time but was always a bit skeptical about trying it whenever I’m in Milan. No offense, but the place looks small and not very fancy for dining in, which held me back. One day I got sick and was craving some Pinoy noodles, then I found out they sell them here. I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Their cooking style is very similar to my mom’s, which for me is the best compliment. It’s rare to find really good Filipino food abroad, and I’d say this is the closest to the real thing. To confirm it wasn’t just a one-time thing, I came back the very next day to try their pork BBQ and isaw, and I was amazed that those were great too. The pork BBQ was a bit tough, probably because it was rushed, but the flavor was still amazing. The only downside is that they don’t do deliveries. Overall, this place is truly a Filipino gem and definitely worth visiting.

We were doing a road trip and stopped by Milan to rest. I googled best Filipino restaurant in Milan, and Kusina ni Lodi showed up. It was the best experience in our Milan stop over. It was so cold and as soon as we got inside the restaurant, they served us piping hot soup to warm us! It was sooo comforting. We ordered kare kare, BBQ, tocilog and sizzling sisig. I love my Filipino food so much, and I’m very picky but this restaurant hit the spot. It’s the best I’ve tried in Europe or even better than some restaurants in the Philippines. Food tastes fresh and authentic! It’s affordable too. The crispy kare kare is the best! I wish we live nearby. The staff and owner is so friendly too. Try this restaurant, and you will not be disappointed.
