However, tha quality is fantastic: you can enjoy polenta, with or without cheeses, special first dishes, like pizzoccheri, anything with porcini mushrooms in Fall, great meats. Try Zigonier, difficult to explain in English, but. an experience! (it's veal meat, in any case). Wine list is amazingly deep. Price is quite high, but not as high as the happiness after dinner!

I arrived by road courtesy of a business friend, who said he ate there 4 or 5 times a week. A good enough recommendation, coming from a hard-nosed Milanese. It is a converted 'Castello', a family home to the Borromeo clan since the 15th Century. Basically a Manor House with fortifications, it passed into the hands of the Temporali family in 1932 and they have been looking after the restaurant since then. The menu is a roll call of famous Lombardian dishes: home-made salamis, Milanese risotto, tagliolini, gnocchi, braised game with polenta, suckling pig, veal chop and other charcoal grills, semifreddo, fresh fruit. The wine list runs to over 100 different bottles. We sat in the bowered garden, sheltering from the 35-degree heat that was Milan last week. The service was unfailingly cheerful and friendly, the food as good as you'll get. The astonishing thing was that the bill for a 3-course meal with wine came out around 30 euros a head. The same thing in London would set you back a minimum of £70 ph.

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.

The staff was very friendly and glad we booked an early table for 7:30p as the restaurant filled up fast.

The guests and the staff were all gracious and made us feel like family. Definitely worth a visit if you are near Linate airport in Milan.

HOWEVER, one item really left an impression: the beef tongue salad! We ordered a second round of that. I remember the chicken dish was also tasty. The service was great. I think they're not used to the sight of seeing 9 asian tourists visiting so they were a little taken aback, alas, they tried their best to communicate with us and made sure we had everything we needed.

It was busy, but my partner and I were seated promptly, perhaps luckily. Their entrance is plastered with multiple Michelin Guide recommendation stickers spanning between 2008 and 2016, so that was cool lol. Our server was very friendly and spoke English decently. The restaurant offered us this complimentary warm fried cheese dish that was very good. We also had their house red-wine, which was pretty good; mild, but slightly dry. Definitely get the osso-bucco. I got the steak w mustard sauce. I felt it was good but not exceptionally good as it seemed to be described. I was told the mustard sauce was very special. It could be a difference in palette. The mushroom pasta was very good. We had tiramisu as the dessert and it was one of the better tasting ones. Overall, I really enjoyed the dining experience and would recommend for traditional cuisine.

The veal was so incredibly tender and the risotto was in a delicious creamy sauce which I had never had with risotto before.

The menu is actually not strictly Milanese, they have items that belong to other regional traditions like sciatt or polenta taragna, fried cheese balls and cheese polenta from Valtellina. We didn't complain about this discrepancy, we actually enjoyed both dishes even if not traditional from Milan. Then we got risotto alla milanese con ossobuco, the symbol of Milanese cuisine, and it was really really good. The risotto was creamy, buttery and delicious, the ossobuco "melt in your mouth" tender and with a lot of delicious bone marrow in the bone. Fantastic. Risotto ai funghi porcini freschi was very good too. The tagliatelle al ragù di cinghiale (boar) were very good, but the tagliatelle were a bit too tough, which is very strange for fresh pasta. It felt like the fresh pasta was left to dry out and then it was not cooked enough to rehydrate it. Whatever, the ragù was delicious. Finally the mondeghili, typical Milanese fried meat balls, although delicious, were not authentic, at least according to the expert in the group. Anyway, we enjoyed the food, the cute ambiance and the service. Recommended.
