So I asked the bar lady if she spoke English. No! That was the answer. She perfectly understood I wanted a scotch! Must be international. By the way guys, I haven't seen anything yet to suggest Italian women are, umm..sexy. Just saying. Anyway, great selection of liquor. Wonderful service and I wish my girlfriend was with me to have a meal with me. This is DEFINITELY an eating place. Must speak Italian!! Or broken italian. Great place for a crowd. Being lonesome not so much fun except the waitresses. ;) I looked at the menu, they serve rabbit!! Wish I was hungry! The menu is outstanding!! Anyone who has a meal here, please let me know what it's like. The English speaking waitress is Eva. She will take care of any English speaking tosser. She is with Sabation. Jenny is for the ole guys. ;) Must be a worldwide thing..girls go to bathroom in crowds. That bird? Whats here name? Yeah..got a man! Umm I'm drunk.

Heard great things online, recommend by chatGPT and booked a reservation…read more Small place, friendly service, but time limit on the table, so if the service is a bit slow, you might be mid dessert and you're being asked to leave when the next party has arrived. Not a big deal, they let you know there is a time limit, but maybe they should keep the service flowing so that doesn't happen. The interior decorator here did a great job with the time warp back to the mid 20th century. Cool vibe. Food was ok. Perhaps using old recipes from the time period is not so good for a tourist? I wasn't really impressed with the food, but I don't have a cultural link to Milanese food to begin with, so I don't think I was fully able to appreciate it. If my grandmother made this when i was a kid, perhaps it would have been better, but the meal was lost on me. There are plenty of spots to grab a good meal, I'd only recommend this place if you have a fond memory of the menu items or you really want to time travel and post to social media.

Intro: After doing a bunch of sightseeing in Milan, we stopped by Riseolatte for dinner. While we…read moredidn't have a reservation, we were seated promptly upstairs (table for three). Ambiance (3.5/5): This Italian restaurant looks like your grandma's house. Lots of old school decor and it's the exact look they're going for. Homey, just like grandma's house. Seating is a bit tight and there's no A/C so things were a bit stuffy. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress was friendly and was pretty efficient in taking care of us. Service can be a bit of a miss in Europe but our experience at Riseolatte far exceeded the norm. Drinks (4.5/5): Good drink list. I ended up splitting some house wine with my buddy. They have it in different sizes and we went with the largest option of the house red. Food (3/5): I went with the osso bucco which is served with risotto (two of my favorite dishes in one). And part of what also made the dish so attractive is that risotto Milanese is a classic Milanese dish. Unfortunately, the dish didn't live up to the hype. Osso Bucco, done right is so tender that it falls off the bone. It's a slow cook type of meal and you can taste the results of that. Here, the meat was harder than it should have been, which indicates to me that they probably cut some corners. The risotto, on the other hand, was solid. As was the portion size. I was just expecting better with the osso bucco. My friends got the veal (elephant ears). Talk about a portion size. Three huge veal cutlets and fries. You can see why they call them elephant ears! I tried a bite and enjoyed it more than my dish. Overall: There's a lot to like about Risoelatte. Some dishes are a hit and some are a bit of a miss so make sure to choose wisely!

The charcuterie and cheese wasn't anything special either, you can kind of go to the supermarket and just procure the same things. I think the best thing that we ate was probably the chocolate salami as it's this fudgy biscuit with whipped cream on the side. That was something I've never had before and it was unique and worth trying.

I was craving good lasagna, and I think the lasagna here is about as good as it will get in Italy.

We ordered the pizza, and the pizza guy had a meltdown. Apparently he had already started cleaning up for the night. We felt bad but also a little off putting that he would make such a scene in front of all the guests. Other than that we had a wonderful meal.
