I would recommend making a reservation during prime hours and sitting outside if they have space there. The pizzas are the thin crust Roman style and very solid - the classic Margherita is the one to get as the execution is fantastic. You get the flavor of a NYC slice made with better ingredients and with a great thin crust. This reminds me of Marta in NYC which closed during COVID. The classic entrees are made in the comfort food style - solid flavors, generous portions, and good ingredients. Be sure to try the costelleta or ossobucco. The cutlet is perfectly tender with a crispy crust served with fantastic roasted potatoes. The ossobucco itself is just okay but the risotto is very satisfying especially with the bone marrow. If you are by the Duomo or Galleria and want comfort food this is a great option.

Prices were fair, and the staff was very attentive. We were able to get some good Italian music and food here. The four cheese pizza is the da bomb. They even give you some free stuff for dessert and a little mini appetizer. However, there is a four Euro tax per PERSON, that might knock the wind out of you. Still, enjoyed the place.

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.

Hummus was ok, we had some kind of eggplant lasagne (or what looked like it) which was delicious, and then wok chicken which was oversalted and some kind of variation to the Milanese shnitzel, not fried, which gave it a bit of a strange texture. The chocolate desert was great. With a bottle of very nice house wine, the total bill was 50 euros each, a bit pricey considering the quality. But it's in Brera so understandable. Not sure if I'd come back though.

The attractive space was very crowded, a good sign for a cold Tuesday night in early December. Tables were close together, in the European manner, but that allowed us to get "up close and personal" to the fashionable crowd. Food was excellent, but classic, and when innovation was attempted it didn't work. Thus the cream added to the Saffron Risotto was unnecessary, because the dish was great on its own. The Milanese breaded veal chop tasted superb. Pastas were al dente and cooked perfectly. While the service was professional, there was a frenetic nature to getting the dishes out from the kitchen in a more than timely manner. Several people took care of us, and there was no opportunity to make a connection. However, no one at Perbellini missed a step. Locanda Perbellini may not have Michelin quality cooking, but it's not too far from that pinnacle, and at the price point, Locanda Perbellini may be the ideal classic Milano dining experience.

We haven't experienced such a rushed service anywhere, including the US, in a very long time. It was obvious that there was little interest to create a relaxed ambience, e.g. it doesn't help if somebody always looks around the corner every 30 seconds to see if you are done with your dish, no breaks within courses etc. Overall not a restaurant we would recommend - there are too many good options in Milan.

The portions are large and the prices are the best in town. For instance, we ordered a liter of wine, a liter of sparkling water, shrimp cocktail, a calzone, shrimp scampi, two margarita pizzas, and a dessert. The entire bill was €66! You can't find that anywhere else in Milan. Best yet, all of it was amazingly scrumptious! The staff is very friendly and kind. Although they don't speak English, they do offer an English menu and you can get by with a mix of Italian and English; if all else fails, pointing also works. The place has a lot of seating inside and out. Also, they are very family friendly (they have high chairs). Both times we went the place was filled with families. Overall, I can't say enough about how good this place is in all manners of quality. Enjoy!

But after eating at some fine restaurants with homemade melt in your mouth pasta, this cannot compete. If you are looking for general pasta, this would be fine. I had the fave bean soup which was delicious but the greens in it were too hard to cut and eat. We also ordered the fried zucchini flower... yes I understood it would be fried but it is such a delicate food, I didn't think it would be heavily coated and cooked to a crisp. Too heavy a preparation for such a beautifully delicate vegetable. My friend loved the Norma, so that must have been good. To be fair, we have been going to top restaurants in Milano... this was a last minute late night snack/meal choice near our hotel. Again, staff was great. Just not my cup of tea.

Along with the bread and cover charge, they give a small little platter of antipasti with sun-dried tomatoes, and other accruements. The lentil soup was really filling with barley and croutons on top. we also got a potato cream pasta with seafood, which was really unique since I haven't ever had anything like it before. The highlight of the meal was probably the meatballs because the acidity of the tomato sauce was able to counteract the other two dishes. Since coming to Italy, I've been kind of confused on whether to pay at the register or whether the check is being brought to you, but for this restaurant, you go to the register to pay.
