They only have one bathroom in the whole restaurant so keep that in mind lol. The food itself wasn't super spectacular, we got the truffle ravioli and it was OK. The charcuterie and cheese wasn't anything special either, you can kind of go to the supermarket and just procure the same things. I think the best thing that we ate was probably the chocolate salami as it's this fudgy biscuit with whipped cream on the side. That was something I've never had before and it was unique and worth trying.

I was craving good lasagna, and I think the lasagna here is about as good as it will get in Italy. They don't use as much meat or tomato sauce as Americans do, but this was able to hold me over until I got home. We were served very quickly and able to finish our bread, drinks, and lasagnas within 30 minutes door to door on a Friday night.... Other tables were enjoying their time, so that is totally acceptable as well. Overall a great meal.

We felt bad but also a little off putting that he would make such a scene in front of all the guests. Other than that we had a wonderful meal.

For dinner I had the meat lasagna and my husband had a pasta with sausage. Both were very good. Mine was a large serving, filled with delicious pasta, cheese and sauce. My husband had a smaller pasta noodle, and the sauce was different than the red sauce on my lasagna. It was delicious!! We enjoyed our meals.

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!

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

Tender ball of burrata cheese surrounded by the freshest most flavorful Roma tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and some basil. A real standout! The zucchini flowers stuffed with cheese, veg, and a hint of anchovies and deep fried in a light batter. Incredible. Single most memorable dish for me in Milan. Carbonara. Tender al dente pasta paired with rich flavorful egg yolk, parmesan, garlic, olive oil, and thick cuts of pancetta that were crisped yet tender. Excellent flavors and not over sauced. Portion was sized in a way that didn't overwhelm. Taglione. Tender sliced beef medium rare with essence of rosemary, garlic. Seasoned simply with salt & pepper and drizzled with olive oil. Accompanied by tender crisp potatoes. Outstanding. So simple and uncomplicated. Excellent wine offerings. They offer half bottles of Amarone and Syrah and full bottles of an extensive wine list. I know I will return to Milan in the future and this place will be the first and last place in dine.
