Decent poke bowls, inconsistent service — manage your expectations
Lloa Be Natural sits in Milan's Bicocca area and pitches itself as your go-to for healthy, natural food — and to be fair, the poke bowls are what most people come back for. Reviewers who've had good experiences praise the bowls as "ottima e abbondante" (excellent and generous), and the whole concept — fresh ingredients, customizable toppings, bright flavors — works well if you're after something quick and nutritious. The breakfast options and fresh juices also get a nod, and there's delivery via Deliveroo and Glovo if you can't be bothered to leave the house.
That said, the reviews are genuinely mixed, and it's not just picky eaters complaining. Multiple reviewers on TripAdvisor have flagged issues with staff being disorganized and inattentive — one diner reported getting the wrong sauce (spicy mayo instead of mango) and being charged an extra euro for a condiment without the issue being resolved. Another was served a centrifuge instead of the fresh-squeezed juice they ordered. The food quality itself has been called inconsistent, so it's a bit of a gamble.
If you're in the Bicocca area and want a fast, healthy lunch, Lloa will do the job — just go in with realistic expectations. Order a poke bowl, keep your order simple, and don't be in a rush. It's a solid 3 out of 5: decent when it's on, frustrating when it's not.
