Very nice local experience. Affordable prices and delicious food. the ambiance is not necessarily romantic - sometimes you have to share a table and it's a brightly lit place but the service is good and it feels like a traditional, local experience. Highly recommend the chicken breast dish!

A great meal overall. Started with 1/2 liter of barbera. Had the vitello tonnato for an antipasto, then the risotto Milanese, and then veal cotoletta. Finished up with Tiramisu, cafe, and a liquore di liquirizia. I was eating single and dinner was impossible without reservations. Lunch I still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. Really good food and attentive staff. Will return when I come back to Milan

There is a reason this place has been in business almost 100 years, well ok there are multiple reasons. For one the food is fabulous, secondly the staff is great and you can tell some of the guys have been there their whole lives, thirdly it feels like home when you sit down. Our wine guy in Florida recommended we dine here (well actually he demanded it - right down to telling us exactly what we would order) and so we had to go. It was a short walk from our hotel so we gave it a try. It is on a very cool street, the first 3-4 places are bars where the people just drink and laugh in the street. After you get through that about 50 yards further up it is quiet and we walked right by the first time as it is not obvious that the trattoria is there. We sat down in what I think was a room for English speakers (lol), all the waiters spoke (some) English and were given a bread basket with soft bread and bread sticks. We ordered a bottle of local wine (38€) and like the good students we are, ordered the items we were told to order: osso bucco, risotto, veal Milanese, we added the salad which did not disappoint. The buffalo mozzarella was soft, fresh and even a little tangy. The table olive oil which I added to the tomato was rich but light. The veal chop was PERFECT. I wouldn't say I even like veal, but I would eat that everyday. It was crispy on the outside, soft in the center and even the bone was worth chewing on to get every little bit. Osso bucco was tender and flavorful. Big bonus was the giant glob (about 3-4 tb) of bone marrow that came out. I spread it on a slice of soft bread for a bit of fatty heaven. Risotto was a great texture, cooked well and seasoned well. It had some saffron in it which most people really enjoy (I do not - but that is my personal preference). We did not order dessert as we had too much gelato during the day but they did have about 8 dessert offerings. I even heard the lady at the table next to us ask her waiter for the check and for a reservation at the same time the next day! Yes it's that good!! Total dinner cost was 119€.

We were in Milano for a day and someone recommended Trattoria Milanese as the place to go for an authentic dinner experience with the best local fare in the area. This place definitely delivered on its promise. When we arrived, it was packed despite being a bit off the beaten path. The service was very professional and our waiter very knowledgeable. I enjoyed one of the best risotto with ossobuco I ever had while my husband opted for a cotoletta alla milanese, both were delicious and perfectly paired with wines recommended by the waiter. We also loved the artichoke appetizer. The meal was crowned with a very tasty zabaione cream- an Italian delicacy made with egg yolks, sugar and a sweet liquor. I ca't wat to travel back to Milano to visit again!

Went for dinner (march'24). RisottoE ossobucco- the risotto was aldente, not as creamy as i expected, was allright. The osso b was tender and very good. They tasted mild, not overseasoned. I wished it would have been served piping hot. It tasted almost warm to lukewarm. Veal Milanese was a big portion served with a slice of lemon. Was good. Artichoke baked was mild and tasted fine. So was funghi starter. I think quality is good, but the food is very mild, which alot of tourist probably don't mind. Ambiance was bustling with people coming in and out. Worth trying out at least one time.

During my Milan Trip, this restaurant is on my Bucket list. It's been around for a long long tine. They're famous in serving the Elephant Ear (Porkchops). My friends and I just walked in but we were the first one to wait to open for dinner, so they accommodated us but I highly suggest that you make a reservation. The location was so hard to find even if we were using Maps from Iphone but we manage to find it after 20mins or more from walking around. The Elephant ear was superb. Juicy and tasty. I love it. If uou wver come here make sure you include this on your order. Tha restaurant is neat and well maintained. I like the old bricks inside, it looks like the old but well restored.

We got lucky that we were accommodated by the owner because we didn't have booking reservation. The place was small and tucked in via turino. The food is delicious from bread to espresso! But the highlight was the Milanese at Ossobuco. The price was reasonable and service was good with friendly staff.
