After spending the day exploring Lake Como, we wanted a great dinner within walking distance of our…read morehotel, and we're so glad we found L'Isola del Tesoro Ristorante. From the moment we walked in, it felt like an authentic Italian experience. The restaurant was decorated with Sardinian flags and photos, giving it a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our server was fantastic. There was a slight language barrier, but it wasn't a problem at all we worked through it together, and the service was excellent from beginning to end. The highlight of the evening was the salt-crusted branzino, which I later learned is one of the restaurant's signature specialties. Before cooking it, they brought the whole fish to our table so we could see exactly what we were getting. It looked incredibly fresh, like it had just come out of the sea. They then covered it in sea salt, baked it, and brought it back to our table. What made the experience even more memorable was the tableside service. A staff member expertly deboned the entire fish right in front of us, leaving nothing but perfectly flaky, tender pieces ready to enjoy. It was one of the most impressive dining experiences I've ever had. The fish was simply prepared with olive oil and a little sea salt, proving that fresh, high-quality ingredients don't need a lot of seasoning. One thing I loved throughout my trip to Italy was how clean and uncomplicated the food is. They don't rely on heavy seasonings like we often do in the United States, yet every bite is incredibly flavorful. We also enjoyed a fresh salad, some biscotti, Italian breadsticks and a bottle of Prosecco that tasted much better than any Prosecco I've had back home. Everything was so good that we even took some leftovers with us. We accidentally ordered one of their wood-fired pizzas because of the language barrier, but even that turned out to be delicious, so it was a happy surprise. They packed out takeaway nicely and have us extra bisco and breadsticks The restaurant is tucked away on a small side street in Milan's Fashion District. It's lively, energetic, and great for groups. During our visit, everyone was watching a FIFA soccer match, so there were lots of cheers and excitement throughout dinner, which added to the fun atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic Italian seafood experience in Milan, I highly recommend ordering the tableside salt-crusted branzino. Between the fresh ingredients, outstanding service, and memorable presentation, this was easily one of the best meals we had in Italy. We would absolutely return the next time we're in Milan.

Clean, sharp, no fluff -- just the right texture, the right chill, like someone back there actually gives a damn.

Not a big deal, they let you know there is a time limit, but maybe they should keep the service flowing so that doesn't happen. The interior decorator here did a great job with the time warp back to the mid 20th century. Cool vibe. Food was ok. Perhaps using old recipes from the time period is not so good for a tourist? I wasn't really impressed with the food, but I don't have a cultural link to Milanese food to begin with, so I don't think I was fully able to appreciate it. If my grandmother made this when i was a kid, perhaps it would have been better, but the meal was lost on me. There are plenty of spots to grab a good meal, I'd only recommend this place if you have a fond memory of the menu items or you really want to time travel and post to social media.

Intro: After doing a bunch of sightseeing in Milan, we stopped by Riseolatte for dinner. While we…read moredidn't have a reservation, we were seated promptly upstairs (table for three). Ambiance (3.5/5): This Italian restaurant looks like your grandma's house. Lots of old school decor and it's the exact look they're going for. Homey, just like grandma's house. Seating is a bit tight and there's no A/C so things were a bit stuffy. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress was friendly and was pretty efficient in taking care of us. Service can be a bit of a miss in Europe but our experience at Riseolatte far exceeded the norm. Drinks (4.5/5): Good drink list. I ended up splitting some house wine with my buddy. They have it in different sizes and we went with the largest option of the house red. Food (3/5): I went with the osso bucco which is served with risotto (two of my favorite dishes in one). And part of what also made the dish so attractive is that risotto Milanese is a classic Milanese dish. Unfortunately, the dish didn't live up to the hype. Osso Bucco, done right is so tender that it falls off the bone. It's a slow cook type of meal and you can taste the results of that. Here, the meat was harder than it should have been, which indicates to me that they probably cut some corners. The risotto, on the other hand, was solid. As was the portion size. I was just expecting better with the osso bucco. My friends got the veal (elephant ears). Talk about a portion size. Three huge veal cutlets and fries. You can see why they call them elephant ears! I tried a bite and enjoyed it more than my dish. Overall: There's a lot to like about Risoelatte. Some dishes are a hit and some are a bit of a miss so make sure to choose wisely!

The cappuccino had a prefect balance of espresso, milk and milk foam. It was rich with a mildly strong flavor. The prosciutto and cheese omelette was different than what we usually have.

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed overall. Both the food and service were poor…read more My husband ordered the risotto and I had the zucchini shrimp pasta. Both tasted like they'd been frozen beforehand and were among the worst meals we've had in Italy. What made it worse was the service. We were completely ignored the entire time. When we did get served, it was no eye contact and just staring at us to tell the server what we wanted (and that was after I had to wave them down!) At first, I thought they were giving us privacy, but everyone around us had their tables cleared and were offered dessert while we sat with our finished plates for at least five minutes. When we finally got up to leave, they stopped us to offer dessert, which was a nice gesture, but by then, the experience had already soured. There was no music playing either, making the whole meal feel awkwardly silent. With so many great options in Milan, I wouldn't recommend this one.

It went much quicker and I enjoyed a nice conversation with the bartender. Great service from all the staff! 5* Thanks to an earlier recommendation from a tour guide, I wanted to try the local specialty, the veal cutlet. They had it on the menu, so it was an easy choice. It reminded me of a Wienerschnitzel. The crossed cuts in the breading were something I noticed in other Milan restaurants. I enjoyed the tomatoes and basil. All the veggies have been so so fresh. It has been a welcome delight with meals. It was a tasty dish. I had the opportunity to try the Ossobucco (veal shank) with saffron risotto. Wow, the veal was incredibly tender. Loved it and would have preferred it over the cutlet. The risotto was supposed to be a Milan specialty, so it was nice to try. And the bread plate? How often does the free bread plate get its own entry? Well, these bread "chips" (?) were so good...fresh (see picture). they practically melted in the mouth. I couldn't get enough. Loved this little neighborhood gem. I'd definitely go back and wholeheartedly recommend them.
