Lombardy

An elegant restaurant with small private lounges, renowned in Desenzano. The service is attentive and discreet. The chef, originally from Sardinia, offers a delicious and inventive cuisine mainly based on fish.

This restaurant is known for its cheese-based menu. A detour to those who want to discover the famous Italian cheeses and Lombards. Friendly and friendly atmosphere.

A neighborhood trattoria where people come from far and wide to taste its fish and seafood. On the menu, a long sequence of hot and coldantipasti , fried and grilled meats, without forgetting the lobster à la catalane (with tomato), pride of the store. Among the primi, linguine with lobster or risotto with squid ink do not deviate from the leitmotiv of the menu. The chef's nod to Sardinian pecorino (his region), which is cut from the wheel. The Lobster Bar annex offers a new formula, whose star is the lobster!

Refined downtown restaurant serving excellent fish and tasty seafood. In a contemporary setting, a young team does its best to satisfy its customers. On the menu, fish is king, and fish from the lake shares the menu with fish from the sea. The result is baked sea bass and potatoes, grilled seafood with scampi and octopus, or seafood spaghetti and - always - an excellent tiramisù to finish. Selection of quality wines.

Vintage atmosphere for this modern bistro. Its long table in the centre of the room evokes dinners in good company; for couples, however, a few stools allow you to sit at the counter. The menu is divided into two parts: on the one hand small tapas-style portions (pepper stuffed with cod cream, breaded mini veal chops, poached eggs, beef tartar...) and on the other hand main courses(spaghetti or gnocchi carbonara, sliced beef with porcini mushrooms, burgers). A fun address where you can taste everything.

This fishmonger's shop, which displays all the lake and sea fish of the region, prepares seafood specialities served to take away or to taste on the spot, set up at a few high tables with stools. The seafood soup is really delicious, but everything is good. We have an offer of Japanese cuisine with sushi, sashimis but also risottos, fried food... The prices are quite salty on the other hand, but everything is fresh and of high quality. Interesting to discover with the eyes before exploring with the belly.

The silhouette of Giannasi's kiosk has become a familiar sight to residents of the Porta Romana district. Since 1967, this unusual merchant has been selling the city's most delicious roast chicken. Marinated in olive oil and spices overnight - once tasted, you'll find it hard to swallow any more... In the tradition of old-fashioned street food, Giannasi also offers fried dishes, lasagne, risotti and mondeghili (typical Milanese meatballs). To take away and enjoy in a sunny park.

Unusual setting for a Milanese restaurant that has chosen to live in a pretty mansion house from the early 1900s, surrounded by a large terrace overlooking a square, surrounded by the heights of the skyscrapers in the Porta Nuova district. Chef Cesare Battisti dynamically embraces the Milanese and Lombard culinary tradition, while simplifying the preparations and reworking the basics with his personal touch. The result is more than satisfactory both in terms of taste and presentation. Risotti to be discovered and a great audience.

A few wooden tables a little too close together and pizzette al tegamino (small pizzas in their mould) baked in an electric oven, this is what you will find at Meucci, located one street away from Castello Sforzesco. The pizzettes are deliciously thin and crunchy, despite appearances, as evidenced by the fact that the address has been open to the public since the 1960s. And although the legendary owners have handed over to new managers, the flavours are still there. Kids will love it, grown-ups will love it!

Milan has its own vegetarian takeaway bistro where most of the products served are certified organic: Radice Tonda. Close to the busy Corso Buenos Aires, this natural address offers over 200 different types of soup and velouté every day, followed by lasagne, quiches, veggie burgers, sandwiches and salads that are as healthy as they are tasty. The drinks are just as organic as the rest, from smoothies to beers. Also great for aperitifs. An address for a healthy lunch break that's also gourmet.

Gino Sorbillo (the greatest Neapolitan pizzaiolo ) has finally arrived in Milan with his famous thick-crust pizzas, according to the best Neapolitan tradition. A few steps from the Duomo, the address is more like a canteen than a real restaurant, but the pizzas are sensational. It seems that the menu plays the multiplication card: 7 antipasti, 7 wood-fired pizzas, 7 special pizzas , 7 beers, 7 wines and 7 digestives! For the unconditional fans of the tomato-mozza disk. Attention: no reservation is possible and the wait is often long.

In the heart of Milan's Chinatown, a bright and airy address, where green plants and large wooden tables make up the decor. Somewhere between hipster and New York style, the local clientele gather here with friends for breakfast, lunch oraperitivo, over a cup of matcha tea or a red fruit infusion to accompany a few hours of coworking. On apprécie aussi la formule déjeuner composée de : deux petits plats (pâtes, salades...), des fruits, du pain, un café et de l'eau, en libre service.

In the neighborhood of Navigli, a new table of quality which counts only 28 seats (from where its name) installed in a trendy setting where the furniture of recovery has the good share (for the anecdote, the "recovery" of the rooms was entrusted at a Milanese prison cooperative). Side cuisine, honor with Mediterranean flavours with required and creative suggestions of meats, fish, vegetables and products organic local.

In an ancient ^16th-century mansion, Alessandra and Gaetano Martini have been running one of northern Italy's must-visit gourmet restaurants for the past 16 years. He, always impeccable in his colorful bow tie, and she, a talented chef of exquisite finesse. In a classic yet distinguished atmosphere, traditional local recipes are wonderfully prepared: pumpkin ravioli, marinated eel, sbrisolonashortbread cake... Everything is tasty and refined. In summer, service takes place in the garden around a ^15th-century coping stone.

Just a few steps from the Duomo, a trattoria whose exposed beams and colorful tablecloths immediately immerse you in a good-natured atmosphere. Traditional regional cuisine is scrupulously prepared here: tortelli cremaschi, gnocchi with sausage and mozzarella, marrow bone with risotto and braised meat with polenta promise an authentic discovery of the land. The kitchen also offers a number of vegetarian dishes, such as vegetable flans and quiches with quail eggs.

This former neighbourhood dairy had the brilliant idea of installing some cutlery in its tiny shop. Every lunchtime, we jostle each other in the two rooms with tiled walls, but for a good reason: the vegetarian dishes based on seasonal vegetables and dairy products are a real explosion of flavours. And while you're enjoying a dish of herb lasagne or grilled cheese, notice the prints and photos that evoke the Milan of yesteryear, when the city lived to the rhythm of its canals, the Navigli.

Everything that arrives on the table of this bistro is steamed on the spot: meat, fish and vegetables are served in small wooden baskets that are very environmentally friendly. But there's no shortage of fresh offerings like the Life Bowls: bowls bursting with mango, goji berries, bananas, agave, maracuja, granola and other vitamin-rich freshness. Smoothies, macedonies and pressed fruit are also on the menu. About sixty seats distributed over two floors in a functional, linear facility, perfect for lunch break.

An intriguing address, housed in an old palace whose beautiful rooms serve as a wine bar, a boutique selling great wines and a gourmet bistro. A choice of remarkable labels is combined with a few delicately prepared gourmet recipes such as octopus served with potatoes, potato or pumpkin cream, quail with white grapes or minced beef with boletus. The setting is neat and romantic, especially in the pretty, well-lit inner courtyard. A favourite with regulars.

On the border between the Brera and Porta Nuova districts, a "risto-shop" that showcases the regional gastronomic specialities of Emilia-Romagna and especially the king of Italian cheeses, his majesty Parmesan. In the shop, where everything is on sale, it's like a cheese dairy where tastings are the order of the day. On the plate, tempting recipes such as meat tortellini sprinkled with the famous cheese, cannelloni au gratin and a cheesecake obviously made with parmesan. Also available as an aperitif.
