Here are 10 typical Milanese restaurants in which to try the authentic cuisine of this northern Italian city.
Trattoria del Nuovo Macello
This family-run local trattoria has stood the test of time and remains one of the go-to places for Milanese and tourists in search of a relaxing evening of traditional food with a creative twist.
Popular antipasti dishes include a selection of cured meats as well as snails with anchovies and parsley. Among the first courses or 'primi', the golden risotto Milanese with saffron stigmas is a must, as is their famous thick 'Coteletta' served pink, with or without bone, as per tradition as a secondo. Leave space for dessert.
