An address launched by two Milanese hipsters with a passion for New York street-food. In a very underground setting, we sit down to bite into burgers and American-style maxi-steaks.

Special mention for the potato and sesame bread buns. A gastronomic address made in Usa.

Located in Lenno's main square, close to the church of San Giovanni Battista, the trattoria Santo Stefano has a simple setting, but serves good food.

Here is a charming little bistro where you will meet connoisseurs rather than tourists. We go down a few steps to reach the vaulted room; on the walls, copper pots and pans and photos of the lake at the beginning of the century. But the real soul of the Vicolo is indeed her: Lilli. When she's not at the stove, she turns between the tables to chat with the customers and ask if the fish is well grilled, or if the local wine is to your taste. Characteristic and friendly, an address from which one rarely leaves disappointed

A restaurant overlooking the small square of the port, serving excellent cuisine based on fish from the lake.

One of Verona's most famous restaurants. Located in a palace of the eighteenth century, he draws his name from the 12 merchants (and not apostles) who in 1750 used to be here to speak business before a dish of pasta e fagioli (pasta pasta) and a glass of Valpolicella.

Traditional Milanese cuisine in this trattoria on the Navigli. The main asset of this restaurant is the atmosphere… very, very lively and cheerful. Every evening you can witness a small concert of meneghina music and breathe the mocking and lewd atmosphere of the former Milanese breweries.

Another renowned pizzeria in Milan. It's perhaps the one where there is the widest choice of pizzas, all very original and tasty.

If 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.

As far as accommodation is concerned, it is a little more impersonal. However, the hotel's rooms can be used for one or two nights.

Don't be discouraged by the rustic appearance of Piedigrotta. In spite of appearances, here we eat the best pizza in town. The Neapolitan managers brought their recipes and ingredients to this alley in the centre of Varese. The buffalo mozzarella is well melted and the dough is tender and crunchy as it should be.

A 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.

At 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.

A 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!

Without 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.

As 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).
