Cameriere molto gentile e indaffarato. Sfortunatamente siamo capitati in un momento con una tavolata di 15+ ragazzi stranieri che hanno fatto un casino della madonna, ridendo e schiamazzando tutto il tempo. Acustica pessima, veramente fastidioso. Comunque, cibo buono nella media, risotto alla milanese buono, stranamente filava, cioè prendendo la forchettata faceva i fili di formaggio. Strano, non mi è mai capitato di vederlo, anche nei risotti molto ricchi di burro e formaggio. Flan di crescenza buonissimo, mai assaggiato prima, mi è piaciuto molto. Mondeghili buoni, molto morbidi, di solito in altri posti sono più asciutti e "insieme".

One of the stops on our beer and food tasting tour, Il Panzerotto is where I learned about…read morepanzerotti. It's similar to a calzone but smaller and hand-held. Made to order, we met the owners and sat in the small joint for a while to enjoy our food. Neat little spot that is perfect for a break from a night of drinking. You know how we tend to hit up a Waffle House after a bunch of alcohol? Well, this is the Italian equivalent. No, it's not a waffle in case you're thinking. Fatty, greasy, cheesy delicious. A bunch of cheese and tomato sauce wrapped in dough and fried. They'll make it spicy, too. And if you need a beer to go with it, then they can help you with a few bottled beers and also some sodas/waters in their cooler. [Review 10679 overall, 447 of 2019.]

Maybe my expectations were too high because Milan isn't known for panzerotti and I've had them in…read morePuglia, but...it says on the sign out front that the panzerotti are fried when you order, but instead they are just heated up in a grill. The taste is pretty good, but nothing exceptional and I felt like the panzerotto was too small.

Awesome little restaurant in Milan! I would say the best cotoletta milanese I have ever eaten but…read moreto top it off the risotto I want more! I went on a short break with my girlfriend who is a bit of a fussy eater but when it comes to italian food she is happy. I booked this place hearing some of the reviews and seeing some of the photos and it was definitely worth it. The service was fantastic (even with my awful attempt at ordering in italian she let me have a go) and quick for the fact it was really busy! The atmosphere is nice and romantic but not over the top so allows for a relaxing date and warm feeling. The food was not cheap but nothing in Milan really is! The portions were great and the size of the milanese is as big as it looks - filling to say the least! However the risotto alla milanese, a specialty I tried in a couple of restaurants, was the benchmark that never got beaten during our trip! We fought over the last few bites and I was tempted to order another one but the rest of the food was so great we kind of just wanted it all! If I end up back in Milan this will be up there with places to go back to!

After so many years Traveling to Italy, I finally…read moreexperienced a traditional and typical Milanese meal...with the locals! Located in the Navigli neighborhood, we walked along the canals for about a hour in the freezing cold and worked up and appetite. This isn't one of those places along the canal with employees inviting you in for "happy hour" or aperitivo. As soon as you step foot inside this place, you'll feel cozy and welcome. We drank the house wine, shared an antipasto Misto (mixed appetizer plate of traditional Milanese items- fried bread, potato skins, pickled nerves... Totally strange item but worth a try, Salumi and cheese. The appetizer alone was a feast! For dinner, the Milanesa was a must! I ordered it extra thin with a side of mashed potatoes. Take note- the portions are enormous! I barely ate half. My man ordered the risotto Damm-atra. (Saffron risotto served with a sausage and bean stew) both dishes were awesome. Super rustic and totally traditional. The service as friendly, the atmosphere is humble and the food delicious. Anyone looking for an adventure outside the high trafficked Duomo area Will enjoy this spot.

I don't understand the lackluster reviews. We dined here during our recent visit to Italy. The food…read moreand staff were fantastic. Simple deliciously prepared pastas and desserts. This place also has a number of dishes prepared with horse meat - not our cup of tea, but very popular in parts of Italy. We had three different pasta dishes and our daughter had meatballs. Plus we had a mozzarella appetizer. Everything was fresh and scrumptious. The restaurant has a pleasant rustic/midcentury modern feel, cozy and clean. Lots of locals were dining here when we came. Our server Valentino was incredibly friendly and spoke decent English which was very helpful. He couldn't have been nicer to our 4 year old - she loved him. This place is wonderful and you should eat here!

As an American who has visited Milan occasionally over the years, I can highly recommend this place…read moreto you. My wife is a major pasta lover, and the times we've been here, over the years, they have always been totally terrific in terms of quality and value. The pasta is tops, as are the beans. (Don't head here if you're looking more for typical pizzas, lasagnas, etc.); but for hearty meals, starting with a big bowl of pasta & beans, you'll be pleased. Meat courses come second, and I was slightly disappointed that (around 9PM) one of the menu items (Beef Meatballs in sauce) was already gone, but the suggested replacement (Beef Roulade with sauce) was so good we actually ordered a second serving. (Truth be told, my wife is a lighter eater than me, but we did polish off the two orders of the Roulade, along with a small salad). They do have a salad bar, which we've never tried, as the small dinner salad seems sufficient for our needs. No one restaurant is perfect for everyone, but you can view the official website of the Osteria here (http://www.osteriadellapastaefagioli.net/#!__page-1) and get a good idea for yourself if the offerings are what you'd like. Their menu will, if you click through the Italian pages, advance to show you a good English version. I also considered the wine prices reasonable. It's located approximately 10 blocks northeast from the Central train station, walkable if desired, but also located near the end of tram line #1, so you can easily get to it that way. I recommend it!

Esperienza decisamente…read moremolto positiva, locale accogliente e tranquillo, contrariamente ad altre trattorie molto rumorose e con tavoli tutti attaccati l'uno all'altro. Abbiamo ordinato i classici milanesi, Mondeghili e risotto allo zafferano milanese con ossobuco. La cotoletta l'abbiamo vista passare e l'abbiamo "annusata", la proveremo la prossima volta. I Mondeghili molto buoni, accompagnati anche da un piatto di porcini fritti deliziosi. Il risotto alla milanese con ossobuco da manuale, risotto cotto alla perfezione e mantecato giusto, veramente molto buono. La carne tenerissima e saporita, con midollo abbondante. Buonissimo! Abbiamo chiuso con uno strepitoso tiramisù, forse uno dei più buoni mai mangiati al ristorante. Altamente consigliato!

Masuelli San Marco is a delightful old-style trattoria still managed by the elderly Pino Masuelli…read more Founded in 1921, this restaurant has been serving some of the best classical Milanese cuisine the city has to offer for close to a century. Their polenta - a beloved wintertime recipe - takes hours of continuous stirring to cook it to the point where it's fragrant and unctuous to perfection, and despite normally being just a side to a main meat course, here the polenta shines when prepared with raw egg yolk and Raschera cheese fondue. A must-try: the restaurant's terrific pasta and borlotti bean soup. It was a trek and a half to get there with 2 buses and a brisk walk but totally worth it the minute you walk in and greeted by their sweet Italian charm. Reservation needed! Reach out to them ahead of time if traveling from another country.
