We wandered over to this spot as an easy walk from our hotel without a reservation and were lucky to snag table. The back patio is gorgeous and the ambience is incredible. Cozy, green, bright, inviting. Foodwise we did a shared cheese plate, my husband had the osso bucco, and I had the eggplant gnocchi. The cheese plate was SO GOOD. Like each bite was delicious and we literally fought over the last few cheeses left on the plate. My husband demolished his osso bucco and I adored the eggplant gnocchi. So so so tasty and I would absolutely get it again. Service was friendly and drinks were delicious; the desserts definitely did not pale in comparison either. I had the chocolate cake which was delectable. I would put this on your "must try, must eat at" list and definitely swing by if you are in Milan. This will be our go to, never skip spot from here on out and we are absolutely planning on grabbing a reservation next time to make sure we can dine here.

They served us a basket of bread with pate. Then they served us from the chef a couple of slices of mortadella. My husband and I shared some salad.

While my husband then had ice cream with berries, they gave me a plate of assorted cookies with my coffee. What an experience!

The friendly owner, despite speaking little English, was very helpful in recommending dishes. Some dishes on the menu had English translations. After 8:30pm, more customers started trickling in. The homemade ravioli was the highlight of the meal. Pasta is al dente and perfectly tossed in tomato sauce. The most expensive item we ordered was the Fiorentina steak. At over 40 euros, the dish fed 3 people. Meat was tender but we liked the pasta dishes more. Overall, authentic food, friendly owner, and family atmosphere make this a good choice for a down-to-earth dining experience.

For a Friday night, it was not very crowded but would not have ever walked by this place had it not been planned. This place focuses on their risottos, so much so that at the end of your meal they give you a small booklet of their risotto recipes as a gift! Each risotto takes 25 minutes to make and requires you to order a minimum of two portions per risotto (bring a friend!). The appetizer was top notch - it was all vegetarian and had great flavors and textures. The star of the show however was the risotto. I could smell the red wine in the risotto (as well as see it), and it made the flavor of the dish so rich. The sausage was a great addition to the dish as well. Ended the night with some espresso; I'm not an expert on this but it tasted solid to me. Service was great as well; it was a very intimate experience since there were only three tables being served total while I was there, and they closed up the restaurant after I left. The amount of tables served definitely is not indicative of how good the food is! If you're looking for a wide selection of great risotto, this is a great place to go!

We went on what was clearly a packed night, and there should've been no way we would get a table. The staff however told us that if we were willing to wait outside for half an hour or so, they should be able to squeeze us in. The area is nice, so we took a short walk and came back, where we were promptly thanked for your waiting and given a table. The first thing the waiters will tell you is that if you would like to order risotto, there's uusally a 25 minute wait time, as they make it fresh to order. The second thing they'll tell you is that you should really try the risotto. So we did. We ordered the risotto Milanese with ossobucco, and the cassouella to nibble on while we waited for the risotto. Cassouella is a typical northern Italian cabbage stew that's usually eaten in wintertime. This one included sausage and veal as well, both of which were extremely tender. I'd tried this dish before, but something about the way this restaurant made it, made the flavors just blend so well together. The Risotto and Ossobucco were phenomenal. The risotto itself was just so much more flavorful than you'd expect a risotto to be, but combined with the juices from the Ossobucco it was on a completely different level. The Ossobucco itself was perfect. It wasn't too tender, and had just enough of a chew to it to counteract the soft texture of the risotto. To top everything off, the owner came by at the end of our meal, and handed us a small 5 page recipe pamphlet. He said that he gives them away in case anyone wants to try making his risotto at home. What a wonderful experience
