Here's all I know about Osterietta:…read more + During lunch, many of the dishes are prepared in an open kitchen concept. For example, I had a salad ant there is bar in the middle of the restaurant that is loaded with fresh vegetables. It is here that my salad was constructed. Our waiter added the vinegar and oil. + The servers are all long-time professionals. Well dressed and enjoying what they do - total pro's + The prosciutto (also sliced and prepared within eye-sight is as good as any I've ever eaten. + The pasta with shrimp and squid was outstanding. I've never had squid that was so "not chewy". Perfect blend of seafood and sauce and pasta + Overall an over the top superior lunch dining experience. I'd go back here in a heartbeat. + Prosciutto, salad, two primo (pasta) courses, bread, wine and espresso €70 including tip. Like I said, total pro's here.

The MOST DELICIOUS authentic Italian food. Get away from the city center of Milan!!! Come out to…read moreSan Donato area and have this amazing cuisine! Everything seriously was PERFECT! And the prices were great too! The wine list may be a bit expensive for a full bottle but I believe they are very very good wines. The staff was very accommodating to us "Americanos" and did very well speaking English to us. I can't believe they have such few reviews! Appetizers were €5-15 and main dishes €10-40, sides and desserts €5-12. It really is mainly the wine list that can be pricey. I'm sure they are worth it. If we are ever in Milan again, we certainly will be returning. What a gem to find this place, so sad it's our last day.

One of my colleagues brought my along to this traditional restaurant only a few minutes walk away…read morefrom my usual hotel in Milan. Now that I know that it is here I will probably never dine at the hotel again! The restaurant is the oldest in Italy and the second oldest in Europe having been at the same spot since 1284. Back then it was not even in Milan but rather a stop on the route between Cremona and Milan. The historic feel of the place is great and the inner room is the nicest with a huge fire place. Service was lovely and while English was somewhat limited it is still better than my Italian. Food was very good, started out with a selection of local hams and salamis. In a way standard for Italy but great quality. Followed that with the Milanese saffron risotto with bone marrow in it. Superb dish that can be strongly recommended. The meat was good but in a way also more what I am expecting. Desserts were however also superb, especially the Tiramisu was executed to near perfection. They also have a great wine list with wines from the surrounding region. My new favorite place!

So I asked the bar lady if she spoke English. No! That was the answer. She perfectly understood I wanted a scotch! Must be international. By the way guys, I haven't seen anything yet to suggest Italian women are, umm..sexy. Just saying. Anyway, great selection of liquor. Wonderful service and I wish my girlfriend was with me to have a meal with me. This is DEFINITELY an eating place. Must speak Italian!! Or broken italian. Great place for a crowd. Being lonesome not so much fun except the waitresses. ;) I looked at the menu, they serve rabbit!! Wish I was hungry! The menu is outstanding!! Anyone who has a meal here, please let me know what it's like. The English speaking waitress is Eva. She will take care of any English speaking tosser. She is with Sabation. Jenny is for the ole guys. ;) Must be a worldwide thing..girls go to bathroom in crowds. That bird? Whats here name? Yeah..got a man! Umm I'm drunk.
