My wife and I were married in Lake Como on June 29th. We had our guests come to Milan a few days…read moreearly to get their bodies on the local time and to tour the sights in Milan. We wanted to take our guests to the Navigli district to show them the river, have a great meal and experience the nightlife after the sun went down. I emailed several restaurants along the Navigli a few days before to ask if they would be able to accommodate 28 people. For one reason or another, I couldn't get anyone to take us! But Mattia Bilotta at the Asso Di Fiori - Osteria dei Formaggi emailed me back right away and was happy to have us. He asked that we pick a few antipasti, a few primi Piatti, a few secondi piati and a few desserts so that they could be ready in advance. When we got off the subway, there was a lot of graffiti on the walls of the buildings and I was worried that I was in a bad part of town as we walked up to the restaurant. But once we reached the river from the subway, I felt better about it. And when I entered the restaurant to let them know that we were here, there was a huge stuffed cow in the middle of the dining room! I knew the kids would LOVE that, but I was not prepared for how much the adults would love it. Once we were seated, Mr. Bilotta brought out a small black board with the meals we agreed on in advance written on the menu. He also allowed us to order the specials of the day, which were written on a big black board on one wall of the restaurant. This meal was everyone's favorite of the trip, by far. Every dish that came out was more incredible than the last. Each person ordered what they wanted, but when the food came out, it was so delicious they were compelled to pass their dishes to people sitting around them saying, "you HAVE to try this!!" We sat and laughed and ate for hours. Some people even ordered more entrées after they were done because the food was so good! Visited June 2013

The meats included prosciutto, speck, and a couple salamis. The cheeses were soft but not sharp or moldy. Overall, it was a pleasant and mild board. Next, we had the Milanese risotto with saffron. I prefer the rice to be a little softer; nevertheless, the flavors were delicious. Our main course was steak over arugula and parmigiana cheese. It was a small portion but good. I would have prefer the steak to be cooked a little rarer with more sear. For dessert, we had these chocolate pieces. It has the same granulated yet solidified texture as halva. It was excellent.

This spot is a favorite for both locals and tourists, and thus will fill up fast. They do take walk-ins but try to book your reservations asap. Pro tip: if they are fully booked for the night, they will serve one dish to go -- the pork Milanese!!! It's that kind of staple. It also fills up an entire pizza box. Amazing! P.S. Their other food is outstanding too -- particularly the fish fillet, just make sure you at least get a bite of the pork!!

The food is - always - top notch, the ingredients stellar, the daily specials the things to go for, and the wine-list excellent. Friendly staff and low prices makes this place almost too good to be true... :-)

Exceeded expectations…read more We were looking for a small restaurant just outside of the city next to our hotel. It's more of a local spot than a tourist spot. As an American in Milan you learn quickly that the people of Milan can be a bit rude (even at restaurants). However the staff at this restaurant were the opposite and were very pleasant. The food was great, I recommend the Bergamot Sorbet for dessert.

I'm surprised this place doesn't have better reviews!…read more Service- 5 Decor- 4.5 Food- 3.75 Serves food from Puglia region... i did not try the typical orrechiette but my coworker who has been here countless times raves about it. I had the spaghetti + meatballs and while it was satisfying and a VERY generous portion, I was not blown away. Perhaps I did not order the best thing on the menu though and I am willing to give this place another chance. The tiramisu had great flavor but they did not have enough of the cake part.... most of it was cream, which was delicious, but not well proportioned. Complimentary focaccia which was fresh AF and so warm and crispy. I wanted moreeeeee! This place gets packed by 1pm so get here at 1230 if you want to get a table without waiting! Adorable "old school" decor with extremely friendly waiters... there is also a cute dog named Luna that sits by the cash register and is just waiting for you to pet her :)

One Friday night, my friend and I stopped in her for dinner without a reservation. While the place…read moreis pretty loud, it's got a cool vibe and the atmosphere is pleasant. However, given the noise level, it's hard to converse, so it wouldn't be my first choice for a romantic dinner. What this place does well is Angus Ribs. We had Beef Tartare and Grilled Angus Ribs. My friend loved his ribs, which were prepared with a liberal dollop of rock salt; the salt really added to the flavor profile. On the other hand, my Tartare was absolutely flavorless; if it hadn't been served with sweet cherry tomatoes on the side I wouldn't have been able to eat more than two spoonfuls of it :-( As for our sides, the potato skins we ordered weren't especially good either; they were oily and largely tasteless. The potato fries were actually freshly made chips that had been deep-fried in the kitchen - quite tasty! Portion sizes are very generous. The ribs were as wide as the plate, and the side of potato fries (chips) took up an entire plate. Overall this place is AOK, but I don't know that I'll be coming back anytime soon.

Incredible, no english review on this heart piece of italian steak culture!…read more Anyhow, let's get started with saying a few things! I really love this place, as in my opinion, every healthy meal should be based on one or more dead animals, preferably cows. Having this said, I am obviously a victim to every steakhouse. But everybody should know: this place has it's weaknesses in serving time and trying to manage bringing food for multiple persons at the same time, heck sometimes I even my potatoes shivering in front of my eyes, while I waited another 10 minutes for the meat. NOT OK!?! Well, now let's talk about what makes this place still genius: Due to a lag of fantasy on my side, I alway order the beef shoulder and I can tell you, it's a heck of meat. Soft, delicious taste, fresh from somewhere in South America. Totally worth the money in combination with red vine and onion potatoes (keep telling them actually cook the potatoes). Till today, it's impossible for me to believe that a cook can actually manage to cook a piece right down to the perfect minute, but is incapable to guess the right amount of cooking time for potatoes, but so be it! If you combine this with the variety of side dishes they have, this should fill you up beyond exploding without even touching the starters or deserts. My experience on the red vines varied strongly between good and beyond terrible, so better go with an open vine, if you don't have to impress a girl with your knowledge.
