"Dal caffè mattutino alla cordialità e gentilezza di tutto il personale, il Rifugio79 è diventato il nostro punto di riferimento per colazioni, pranzi e ora, con l'orario prolungato il venerdi, anche aperitivi. Da qui è nato il piacere di passare del tempo in questo locale tanto da decidere di organizzare la festa del primo compleanno di nostro figlio: cibo di qualità, Gabriele e il suo staff gentile e disponibile, ampi spazi che hanno reso speciale quella giornata. Più che consigliato!"

"In zona non esiste posto migliore del Rifugio! Io e il gruppo di mamme del quartiere lo abbiamo frequentato tantissimo: era il nostro punto di ritrovo dopo le passeggiate con la carrozzina. Gabriele e tutto lo staff sono persone eccezionali, sempre sorridenti, gentili e disponibili. Abbiamo scelto di festeggiare qui il primo compleanno del nostro bimbo e siamo rimasti entusiasti: servizio impeccabile, locale riservato in esclusiva ai nostri invitati e cibo davvero ottimo. Tutti gli ospiti sono rimasti colpiti. Il Rifugio è davvero un’oasi di tranquillità nel cuore della frenesia milanese — perfetto per una pausa rigenerante, ma anche per organizzare un evento speciale. Consigliatissimo!"

"Ero alla ricerca di un panino, sono passata davanti questo bar e ho notato che anche se erano le 12:30 era vuoto.. stavo per andare via, ho guardato google e ho deciso, vedendo il 4,9, di entrare e sono soddisfatta della scelta! Ho preso un panino preparato al momento, con ingredienti gustosi, freschi e il panino ben piastrato, nei giusti tempi. Erano presenti anche secondi ma non mi hanno attirato.. peccato non ci fosse una macedonia per concludere il pranzo"
