The server brought over 3 different Cabernets to choose from which helped us since the wine menu was all Italian. The bread was brought out and we loved it.

When they brought our bill, they brought another complimentary dish full of little cookies and treats. Definitely recommend this spot!

We started with the mixed salumi and formagio plate which came with prosciutto, truffled mortadella, soppresatta, coppa, two types of cheese and giardiniera along with freshly baked bread. It was more than enough for 4 and very reasonably priced. We split a spaghetti with bottarga while our friends had the seafood risotto. Both were very good. This was accompanied by a nice bottle of Pio Ceasare Barbera. For my secondi I had the traditional osso buco which was very tender and served with a rich Espangole sauce. For dessert we split the zabaglione which was the only item that was outstanding as it seemed to gave been sitting. Service was very attentive and prices are good considering the portions and quality.

The ceiling is made of vines and twinkling lights which gives a great "secret garden" vibe. The service was good, they were trying hard, a mishap with plates, a few long pauses after menu or food requests, but overall was acceptable. We ordered the artichoke salad and the mushroom tagliolini. Would not recommend the artichoke salad but enjoyed the tagliolini. We also ordered the sea bass fillet ( needed salt) and the steak (which was very good). We finished our meal with the crème brûlée which was perfectly creamy. There was one odd thing here about the bathrooms. They were basically co-ed bathrooms with some urinals completely exposed with no privacy. Just something to be aware of before opening the door. Very glad we dined here. There were a couple of food items that could have been a bit better, but overall, this was a very good meal.

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.

Heard great things online, recommend by chatGPT and booked a reservation…read more Small place, friendly service, but time limit on the table, so if the service is a bit slow, you might be mid dessert and you're being asked to leave when the next party has arrived. 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!
