A trattoria located near the Stazione Centrale. From the entrance, beautiful seafood and fresh fish trays welcome you. Two rooms, one large and one more intimate, furnished to the old, and shelves filled with bottles of wine.

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.

It's the opera Nabucco (portraits, scores and precious manuscripts - the chef's a collector!) that has set the mood for this intimate, discreet restaurant in the lively Brera district, where excellent, typically Milanese cuisine is modestly served, with fresh produce enhanced for the most demanding appetites and palates. Four charming, cosy rooms. Informal atmosphere and local clientele at lunchtime, candlelight and soft music in the evening. Try the zucchini flowers with ricotta, among other incredibly fragrant dishes.

Subdued lighting, spaced tables and attentive service complement the high quality of the food.

An address to be enjoyed in all circumstances, and at very reasonable prices given the quality!

A touch of French refinement floats through the two charming rooms of Fioraio Bianchi. The owner, French by birth and Milanese by adoption, has turned Milan's oldest florist into a romantic, "perfumed" place to enjoy breakfast, dinner and aperitifs. The menu changes every month in line with seasonal produce. It's a place where you can forget about your phone and replace it with a book, for example, while you enjoy a drink or a meal. And don't forget that the flowers and plants on display are for sale!
