AL RIFUGIO PUGLIESE
Read moreIf you've decided to eat only pasta, you'll find your happiness in this restaurant. An exceptionally varied choice and serving portions more than copious. Meat and fish are prepared for the wood fire.
TRATTORIA DELL’ORSO
Read moreExcellent cuisine in the Milanese tradition, prepared with great taste and imagination. The atmosphere is very friendly because this restaurant is attached to the Catholic University and therefore frequented by many students.
BE BOP
Read moreA pizzeria among the best known of the Navigli. Pizza, very fine and wide, is enough to satisfy the most ferocious appetites. Several types of pizzas are proposed, some adapted to various intolerances: white pizza (without tomato sauce), gluten free pizza, lactose-free, and even pizza flour.
TRATTORIA PONTE ROSSO
Read moreIn the fourns for twenty years, a sympathetic couple of Trieste, great collectors of cutters and small liqueur glasses whose copies adorn the rooms. Their cuisine vogue between Milanese tradition with a French touch and Italian regional specialties. The atmosphere is young and very friendly.
GIOLINA
Read moreA tasteful decor, fast service and a tempting menu make this pizzeria a sure bet in Milan's Porta Venezia district. It always sells out, especially at weekends, so be sure to make a reservation. The Neapolitan dough pizzas, made with quality ingredients, are succulent and well worth discovering. We particularly like the giolina, a pizza with eggplant and parmesan. At the end of the meal, we recommend you indulge in a tiramisù, which is delicious here.
MISCUSI
Read moreAt Miscusi's, the pasta served is fresh, and you can admire the pastry chef at work! You will be asked to choose the type of pasta you want(trofie, tagliatelle, paccheri...) , and your sauce before adding any ingredients such as burrata or crushed nuts. And if you prefer to rely on the know-how of the cooks, take a look at the specialities of the day on the slate. A friendly atmosphere and very affordable prices, we can only recommend. Four other addresses in Milan, including one at the Stazione Centrale.
ZIBO CUOCHI ITINERANTI
Read moreZibo was born a few years ago as a food-truck, before becoming this charming little restaurant not far from Sant'Ambrogio. The menu changes according to the season, and features traditional Italian recipes, often revisited, and always prepared using traditional methods. On our visit, we particularly liked the squash, amaretti and mostarda ravioli. The setting is warm and inviting, with seating for around 30 and an open kitchen, and the service is friendly. An address to discover in the neighborhood.
IL BRUTTO ANATROCCOLO
Read moreJust a stone's throw from the Navigli (a ten-minute walk), you'll find this genuine Milanese canteen, which welcomes local employees and regulars every lunchtime. A local address where prices are low but quality is high: what more could you ask for? On the other hand, it's best not to be in a hurry, as the queue can get pretty long. The atmosphere is friendly, almost family-like. The homemade desserts are particularly delicious. Make sure you're still hungry, as the portions are generous!
PIZZERIA DA GIULIANO
Read moreA historic pizzeria in the Chinatown district, on Via Paolo Sarpi. Here you'll be served the famous "pizza al trancio", a slice of pizza fresh from the oven. This pizza, very different from the well-known Neapolitan pizza, is so hearty that it's sold by the slice. The locals love it! At Giuliano's, the base is always a margherita. You can enjoy it as is, or add ham or olives, which are available as extras... To eat in or take away, it's a must in Milan!
CAFÉ GORILLE
Read moreWithout any doubt an address to remember, just in front of the Bosco Verticale. The kitchen, open non-stop from morning to night, mixes Spanish and French influences and honors quality Italian products. The menu changes every day according to the season. The trendy industrial decoration makes it a pleasant place for a break at any time of the day. And if you're around early in the morning, you can also have a sweet or savory breakfast.
BIGA
Read moreAs the neon sign at the entrance indicates, Biga serves "Milano Fashion Pizza". Behind this flashy slogan lies an excellent pizzeria! The aim here is to combine what's good with what's beautiful. In a restaurant with a trendy decor, the menu appeals to the great Neapolitan tradition, serving both traditional pizzas and those "a ruota di carro" (thin and crispy). The "al padellino" pizza, cooked in a small pan and originally from northern Italy, is also on offer. The address is a success, and rightly so!
STARITA
Read moreFor a taste of Neapolitan savoir-faire in the Lombard capital, head for Starita with its succulent pizzas - starting with the margherita. The fritti, or appetizers, are also delicious: try the zucchini flowers, for example, or the fried mini-pizza with ragù sauce. Finally, there are a few desserts to end the meal on a sweet note: from traditional tiramisù to angioletti fritti, small pieces of fried pizza dough covered in chocolate! For a good, inexpensive pizza, Starita is a safe bet.
