This is definitely the best place we ate in Milan. It's kind of tucked away. We actually walked past it. They allowed us to come in without a reservation even though they were busy. The staff was friendly and helpful. They spoke English and Italian. There are multiple levels in the restaurant. We were seated towards the top. There is a lot of older decor. Looks like it's from the 60's. The food was very good. We started with Mondeghili which are Milanese style meatballs. They had beef, parmesan, and mortadella. The Veal Milanese was perfectly fried and had delicious flavor. I highly recommend coming here if you are in Milan.

From the ambiance I expected this place to not live up to expectations but it was actually pretty great. Every dish I had here was excellent. Reservations are likely needed in advance and can be booked. The riso e latte dishes are good (as they should be) and so is the ossobuco, highly recommended. I was also able to try the gnocchi which was also very good.

Ossobucco with saffron risotto and veal Milanese

Cute and charming restaurant with a 50s style decor, in a bustling area of Milan. The veal Milanese was delicious- so thin and perfectly crispy. Ossobucco with saffron risotto was a must, though we liked the other veal better. Nice simple side salad to go with everything. It seemed like three young women were running the whole (busy) restaurant, but the service was great! Definitely the place for classic Milanese dishes- make sure to get a reservation in advance!

We stopped by Risoelatte without reservations and the owner was nice enough to accommodate us right away. The atmosphere has such cozy vibes. Literally felt like we walked inside grandma's house. The service was amazing and also gave us good recommendations. We ordered the risotto with ossobuco and cotoletta in milanese style. The ossobuco was flavorful and delicious, super tender and fell off the bone. The cotoletta was simple, yet perfectly fried and tender. We also ordered tiramisu to end the course. Was glad we were able to end our Italy trip with this meal.

Risotto milanese con ossobuco, buonissimo!

Cute little restaurant in the heart of Milan, with a '60s inspired decor, and a menu full of classic Milan dishes. We decided for two super Milan classics, risotto milanese with ossobuco and bone-in veal cutlet fried in ghee. Both were excellent, the risotto was properly cooked, enclosed in a luscious cream (but without cream!) made of butter, Parmesan, stock and the rice starch. The ossobuco was super tender and came off the bone so easily, fantastic. The cutlet was tender and moist, fried perfectly. I really enjoyed it. Desserts were delicious too. The menu was full of interesting options, will need to come back. Highly recommended!

This place has good reviews for a reason. It is decorated like a home and feels like I'm in nonna's kitchen. The cochetta was extremely delicious, one of the best things I've eaten in Italy. Get it milanese style, it's what they're known for! It was cooked to perfection and extremely tender. We also had a pesto pasta that was also delicious!!!

This is a tough review to make as the reviews I have read are outstanding. I surely hope I just caught this restaurant on a bad night and/or ordered the wrong dish. My girlfriend and I visited Risoelatte on our last night in Italy after spending two weeks traveling throughout the country, including Sicily, Venice, Cinque Terre and finally Milan. We both consider ourselves to be "foodies" and had many outstanding meals throughout the trip. We hoped to finish on a positive note after the many positive reviews we read about Risoelatte. We were fortunate, or at least we thought, to get a table at this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but special. The 1960s theme of the restaurant provides a great vibe and atmosphere for dinner. However, the positive review stops here. I understand this is a family run restaurant, but the waitress appeared overwhelmed all night. There was one waitress for the entire restaurant, which I believe encompassed around 15-20 tables. It took almost a half hour before we were even able to place our order. We placed our order for the local specialty of Risotto alla Milanese and wine. We were informed this would take around a half hour to cook (completely understandable and refreshing that it was made from scratch) and should order an appetizer. We quickly decided on an appetizer, but no one returned to our table until the main course arrived a half hour later. We were left to munch on extremely hard bread that was challenging to eat. So much for ordering an appetizer. The meal arrived and did not come close to meeting our expectations. The risotto had an awful aftertaste and the taste resembled a box of Craft Macaroni & Cheese. Although we believe it was authentically prepared, it tasted terrible. We were not asked once how our meal was and our table was never cleared. After finishing our meal and sitting for about ten minutes, we walked to the register to pay. The owner took our money and never asked once how our meal was despite the fact that we overheard him conversing with other customers and even offering them an aperitif following their meal. We were not offered an aperitif, despite the fact that the menu stated it was included in the 3 Euro copertito. Perhaps we just caught this restaurant on a bad night as there are many positive reviews, but I can easily say it was the worst meal we had during our travels through Italy. I would advise looking elsewhere for a special meal in Italy as this restaurant left a bad taste in our mouths, both literally and metaphorically.

Our delicious dinner

The best of a night at several bars on the Navigli. Read my profile and my reviews, you'll find…read morethat I am a pretty experienced booze hound. Pinch is a total replica of American hipster craft cocktail bars, in Milan. The bartenders wear suspenders and do tricks with shakers. I'm waiting for an ironic mustache, preferably like the Moretti guy has. The drinks are exceptional. When I was there, they had one made of green tomatoes and mountain pine liqueur that was a taste party in my mouth. The aperitivo snacks are also really excellent, a small tray of various interesting crunchy things. No potato chips -- we're talking samosas in wonton wrappers with sweet chili sauce, Indian curry rice, a ham-arugula roll, and baba ghanoush. My second drink didn't quite match the first, but it was close. Also, the only bar in Milan that gave me *zero* grief about wanting a simple glass of tap water. In fact, they just give you one. Mega bonus points for that. I'm sick of paying for "aqua panna Toscana" that I neither need nor want. Been drinking Milan tap water in my hotel room for four days now. It's fine. Pour it on. Food offerings from the regular menu are a little hit or miss, but on the other hand, I had kind of stuffed myself with aperitivo. Had I been hungry, might've been a different story.

Another perfect cocktails bar in Navigli! And yet I thought this Milanese neighborhood was only…read morefilled with bars with bad & cheap drinks, loud music and greasy aperitivo food (well, there are plenty of bars like that but thankfully not all of them). Pinch is a new bar right in Ripa di Porta Ticinese, not in the pedestrian part of the Naviglio, which means they don't have outside seating - except for the tables at the windows. It has a retro vibe, as if you entered a 1920s bar, dim lights, soft 1920's music; elegant but not ostentatious atmosphere. The cocktails list has about 15 signature cocktails, all with an explanation of the alcoholic level (medium or high), taste (fresh, spicy, bitter, etc.) and of course the ingredients, classic cocktails with a twist, made extremely well, with good ingredients. They also have a food menu but I didn't check it out since we were there for the aperitivo - which then turned into after-dinner drinks. I had the "South of the Border" with tequila, chartreuse vert, lime juice, sugar syrup and fresh mint, it was fresh and delicious, then I had another one and another one... just to be sure they were made perfectly ;) For the aperitivo, our cocktails were 8 euro each and the waiter (who looked like Robert Pattinson) brough a small tray with some snacks: rice and salad in small glasses, chips, mini-sandwiches and a couple of vol-au-vents - not enough to fill our stomachs completely but also not the average greasy aperitivo food. Nice staff, a full bar with quality bottles and clean bathrooms complete the experience. Too bad it's far from my house, but worth the subway trip back!

To start, my friend and I tried the red mullet with chestnut creme and the spicy duck with pumpkin fritter. Both dishes were delicious but I especially liked the duck. The depth of flavor in both the tender meat and the fritters made for an auspicious start to the meal. We followed up by splitting the Spaghettoni "Benedetto Cavalieri". I can tell why it never leaves the menu. So simple, but perfectly executed. Finally, the pork belly. The star of this dish was the celeriac cream. So refreshing next to the heavy pork belly. The food was great but what really stood out was how nice everyone was! The service in the well-appointed dining room was top notch with wine advice and care to describe each ingredient, but the folks at Belè went even above this. In a careless error, I left my phone at the restaurant and it was too late to retrieve it before an early flight the next afternoon. The restaurant helped me get it shipped back and stayed in contact to make sure I received it. Go for the food, stay for the wonderful people, and check for your phone before you leave!

The menu was very cute with descriptions of each option with cute cartoon sketches of the ingredients. We enjoyed all the courses! The menu may be seasonal. I loved the first app of pears and leeks. I loved my taglioni with truffle. My partner enjoyed his goat cheese risotto. For our entrees, we both thought the duck and the steak were phenomenal. I would definitely come back here again in the future if I find myself in Milan again.

We wanted to take our guests to the Navigli district to show them the river, have a great meal and experience the nightlife after the sun went down. I emailed several restaurants along the Navigli a few days before to ask if they would be able to accommodate 28 people. For one reason or another, I couldn't get anyone to take us! But Mattia Bilotta at the Asso Di Fiori - Osteria dei Formaggi emailed me back right away and was happy to have us. He asked that we pick a few antipasti, a few primi Piatti, a few secondi piati and a few desserts so that they could be ready in advance. When we got off the subway, there was a lot of graffiti on the walls of the buildings and I was worried that I was in a bad part of town as we walked up to the restaurant. But once we reached the river from the subway, I felt better about it. And when I entered the restaurant to let them know that we were here, there was a huge stuffed cow in the middle of the dining room! I knew the kids would LOVE that, but I was not prepared for how much the adults would love it. Once we were seated, Mr. Bilotta brought out a small black board with the meals we agreed on in advance written on the menu. He also allowed us to order the specials of the day, which were written on a big black board on one wall of the restaurant. This meal was everyone's favorite of the trip, by far. Every dish that came out was more incredible than the last. Each person ordered what they wanted, but when the food came out, it was so delicious they were compelled to pass their dishes to people sitting around them saying, "you HAVE to try this!!" We sat and laughed and ate for hours. Some people even ordered more entrées after they were done because the food was so good! Visited June 2013
