Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’m not sure where to start, but we were seated in the back corner of the restaurant, which is fine, but the food was horrible and the service was just as bad. My kids got cheese burgers for around 19 euro each and it was like eating Walmart hamburger out of the freezer sections in USA. Also the cheese wasn’t even melted. My wife and I ordered steak medium rare and it came out like beef jerky and that was 30 euro each. The waiter never came back but to give our bill after we called them over. The staff did more standing around at the bar than helping people. I guess we should have ordered pasta instead of meat. We have been in 5 countries in the past 3 weeks and this was the worst meal we have eaten. I would avoid this place at all costs.

It’s undoubtedly one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, reminding of the ideal city of Renaissance. Everything’s perfect, the porches on three sides with nice shops and bars, the tower by Bramante, the curved facade of the cathedral. Unmissable if you travel in the area.

One of the loveliest piazzas in Italy. Interesting shops and restaurants. Bramante tower, Sforzesco Castle and St Ambrogio Cathedral all within 10 minutes walk. Just a perfect little town just outside of Milano.

One of the most beautiful squares I have seen in Italy. Also worth visiting is the castle with its covered street. We also stopped for lunch on the beautiful square and a great ice cream. Recommendation bring comfortable shoes.

Large Renaissance square with the cathedral on one side, the castle on another side and the wonderful arcades on three sides.
Begun in 1492 at the behest of Ludovico il Moro on the model of a Roman court described by Vitruvius with frescoed access arches like all the walls above the porticoes

This evening I'm in the beautiful town of Vigevano, not too far from Milano. In the pictures you could appreciate the wonderful Piazza Ducale.

one of the nicest piazzas in Italy (tough record to beat), but Vigevano is a suprise to most visitors. It is next to the Castle where you can "meet" Leonardo, the Sforza's etc. worth a trip

It is one of the most beautiful places we've seen over our five trips to Italy. Although being very busy, it still felt very homey. It is full of lovely restaurants, cafes and shops. It was nice to relax sitting in one of them enjoying the view while sipping at an excellent cocktail.

This town is really beautiful and it's worth it a visit. The piazza is amazing and very beautiful. When I visited this town there was a fair very much interesting about backery and bread making. It was really good to speack a bit with the people there and hear about their passion. The tower close to the square is also nice, but i really recommend to sit down in any of the terraces there and just enjoy the view and atmosphere.

Volendo puoi arrivare fino quasi a Piazza Ducale. Rimane di in esterna, hai tutta la via comoda o c’è un parcheggio proprio all’ingresso alla piazza. Non ci sono varchi o limitazioni se ci giri attorno.

Hi -- what time do the shops open on weekdays (Thurs) within the Piazza Ducale? Thank you for your time to respond!
Written 28 September 2015
Puoi parcheggiare gratuitamente sulla piazza del mercato ( giorni di mercato sono il mercoledì mattina ed il sabato tutto il giorno) e attraversare a piedi il Parco Parri. Sempre gratuitamente alla stazione ma nei giorni festivi.Oppure Piazza S.Ambrogio a ridosso della Piazza Ducale (30 secondi)ma a pagamento.Ancora a pagamento c'è via Trivilzio.Tutte le altre recensioni sono esaustive quindi sono ripetitiva!
Buon giro a Vigevano!
