    Ravioli with peas in a mint sauce

    Outstanding restaurant in Milan. Reservations are easy to make on their website and they have a good amount of availability. We had a reservation and were seated right away in a quiet corner of the restaurant. The menu is small but there's plenty to choose from. We decided to share the potato ravioli with peas in a mint sauce, the sepia taglioni with clams and zucchini cream, their award winning veal milanese, veal tonnato (tuna sauce) and saffron risotto with veal jus. Everything was prepared well and tasted amazing. My favorite was the veal milanese and risotto. Both were familiar flavors but prepared superbly. We paired dinner with a white wine from the region. We had room for dessert and got the tirimisu and pistachio ice cream. The tirimisu was almost like a mousse. It was so light and airy: just the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, I was so happy to find this place. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We didn't feel rushed or that the servers were rude. In fact, they came by often to see if we were ok. Definitely a place to try when in Milan!

    Creamed cod ravioli

    Stumbled across this restaurant and am very glad we did. Simple, wonderful comfort food. Started with a complimentary taste of mortadella mouse. We enjoyed the stuffed squash blossoms, creamed cod ravioli, tagliatelle with white veal ragu, and then an absolutely wonderfulcotoletta di vitello alla Milanese! Highly recommended!

    Costolleta
    Ed Y.

    I really like costolleta which is breaded veal but tastes like fried breaded pork chop for those who haven't tried yet. I tried several place in Milan for costolleta and I like this place a lot. I'd say majority of the people coming here especially tourists come here for costolleta because supposedly this restaurant won an award for best costolleta on 2015 or 2016. First costolleta should be veal and it should come with bone. The breading does separate from the meat so as you cut the meat the breading might flake and fall off the meat. I'd prefer it doesn't. As for the meat it's proper veal as you can see the pinkness. However I'd say it's good but not so good that I'd say it's the best costolleta. It's however worth trying it in this particular if you haven't yet. If you have at least two people that can share your food I'd recommend only order one and order something else as each piece is huge. I did finish it as I came by myself but it can get boring. I liked the bread but I don't like the tiramisu. The tiramisu has too much whipped cream but not enough of the "cake" so you feel like you are eating flavored whip cream. The service is very good and prompt. The restaurant itself feels like a good Italian restaurant without over the top deco. It has a good modern vibe that's nice to sit in.

    Clam with zucchini cream amazing
    Warren A.

    This was an amazing first dinner on our trip in Italy. We opted for a place that specialized in Milanese food since we were in Milan. We started with the ravioli with peas mint potatoes and pecorino cheese. I had a similar dish in NY at Rezdora a couple months ago but this was better. We had no problems getting reservations. We also started with the cuttlefish ink pasta with zucchini cream. I love zucchini and this dish was a fantastic symphony of salt from the clams and cream. For our mains we had the award winning veal as stated on the menu and it surely was award winning as it was the best veal milanese I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. But was surprising was the saffron risotto with veal jus that we have had nothing like it in NY. Another suprise was the veal with tuna sauce which I've seen in some menus before but have never tried. Since it is a milanese specialty I figured why not. Amazing!!! I didn't expect it to go so well together. We had a Lugana wine that paired well with everything.

    Excellent

    Came for the Milanese and it did not disappoint. Buttery and flaky crust, big amount of veal. Excellent side of mashed potatoes, kind of like a twice baked potato with no skin and the spinach salad was phenomenal. Also had a great slow cooked egg and asparagus with barley appetizer as well as a curry tagliatelle with clams (sauce was a little salty but pasta was good). Both dishes overall were very tasty. Bravo Brunello!

    Modern Italian with a nod to classic flavors. Pretty good little spot if you're in the area and don't want to deal with the aperitivo chaos.

    Really good food but I noticed most people were ordering the veal cutlet. There is so much more on the menu, but I guess the veal must be better here. Nothing to complain about except wine by the glass is about a 1/2 to 3/4 pour, very odd.

    foie gras on a toasted pan brioce
    Jarrod B.

    As you stroll through the streets of Milan, you'll be delighted to dine at the Osteria Brunello, a recently renovated family tavern that makes simple, yet sophisticated cuisine with seasonal ingredients so fresh you can taste it. I was looking for contemporary Italian cuisine, and the atmosphere of the Osteria Brunello drew us right in. Upscale and modern, but with a refined rustic charm that spread throughout the restaurant. The staff was warm and inviting from the moment I entered, and the service throughout my meal was nothing short of impeccable. It's impossible not to smile while you're here, as the mood and friendliness of the team is catchy. I started with an appetizer of foie gras on a toasted pan brioce, with a black cherry reduction that complimented the rich taste of the foie gras. I reveled in the deliciousness of their homemade pasta, with a dish of squid ink tagliatelle with lobster. The lobster broth added another level of flavor, and for me the entire meal was something truly unique and appetizing. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful, with the color of the food popping against the white dinnerware, making my mouth water. Anyone who dines at Osteria Brunello has to try the award winning veal cotoletta Milanese, which is exactly what I opted for. The server presented me with a 230g veal cutlet, breaded with finely grated white bread that gave it a perfect level of crisp when fried in clarified butter. Tender, rich, and truly a delight for the taste buds, it's easy to see why this dish is a specialty. Overall, the entire experience, from the warmly lit dining room, to the great service from the staff, to the intense flavor of the food at Osteria Brunello was incredible, and I'd definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you want something a little different than the traditional Italian fare.

    The C. Alla Milanese is so nice!!! Also recommend spaghetti !! We had such a great meal there! Strongly recommend this restaurant if you want to taste something Milanese and new.

    We enjoyed our time at this restaurant. The service was excellent and the place was very nice inside. I ordered the risotto Milanese with osobucco. We also ordered I think it's called veal Milanese and there are 2 other items that I can't recall the names of, one of them, obviously, my husband started eating before I could get a picture. He does that a lot. I have to be super quick on the draw with my phone or it will be gone! As you can tell by the empty plate, my husband enjoyed it. We all had a great night.

    Poor service - we were asked to rush to order food - looks like there is a contest on how often a table can be filled per evening

    What a lovely intimate restaurant. Mostly locals. Friendly service. Authentic food. This place is…read moreall about meat. We had appetizers of lardo, slices gossamer thin with toasted bread and wonderful salami. We followed that with penne with a sauce of ragu and artichokes and finished with thinly sliced steak and mushrooms. A bottle of Frescolbaldi Brunello de Montalcino and a couple of macchiatos rounded out our lovely two hour lunch.

    We wanted a carnivorous lunch today so we searched for a meat place in Milan. Surprisingly there…read moreare many! A nice surprise actually, now I have my bookmarks full. Well we ended up choosing La Carbonaia and we were not left disappointed, or at least, not completely. The place is very small and characteristic, the grill is front and center with a display of costate fiorentine in front. I like the vibe. They bring a complimentary appetizer, mondeghili, typical Milanese fried meat balls, de-li-cious. I order a grigliata mista and the others order a fiorentina. The grigliata mista is kind of disappointing, especially the serving size. It's a very small plate with just three types of meats, I expected more quantity. It was very good, but not filling at all. The fiorentina was delicious, with some very tender pieces and other not so tender ones. Very rare, they don't even ask how you want it, that's the way you have to have it anyway, all in all a good experience.
