My SO and I had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Calabrone 2. It was conveniently located across…read morethe street from our Airbnb in the Lambrate neighborhood of Milan.
We decided to get a full course meal with appetizer, first plate, and second plate. Our appetizer, fried squash blossoms, were absolutely mindblowing; I wonder if they were influenced by Portuguese peixinhos da horta, the OG tempura. The first course, a Milanese risotto, was absolutely bursting with rich saffron deliciousness. For our second course, we ended up getting a whole sea bash, cooked with just a little bit of olive oil and salt for flavor; the fish was tender and juicy, cooked just right. We also had a carafe of the house red wine, lightly sparkling which made it really nice.
If I come back to Milan, I'll definitely head back to Calabrone 2 for dinner!
