Antica Osteria Il Ronchettino

My wife and I recently spent four nights in Milan. If we had it to do over again, we would have spent five, and we would have eaten at Antica Osteria II Ronchettino all five nights. We ate our weight in Risotto alla Milanese--all over Milan. This was by far the best. And the Cotoletta (breaded veal) was the best thing we ate in Italy. Our only regret was that we couldn't finish it--and we didn't have reasonable way to accept the offer to take the leftovers with us! If you are looking for amazing, authentic Milanese cuisine, in an incredibly charming atmosphere, then look no further than Antica Osteria Il Ronchettino. It was a little bit of a trek from the city center but boy was it worth it!!!

A fabulous restaurant just outside of Milan - well worth the 20min drive to get here. One of the best food experiences I’ve had when travelling, everything was cooked to perfection - we had the meatballs, osso bucco with risotto, rossini with port wine and truffles, and chocolate mousse/zabaione for dessert. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic food experience in Milan. The service was impeccable as well!

Antica Osteria Il Ronchettino is an absolute gem tucked away in Milan, offering a truly authentic Italian dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for the evening. The real highlight, however, is the sommelier, who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wine. They take the time to explain each selection in detail and perfectly pair it with your meal, elevating the entire dining experience. We were so impressed that we visited twice during our stay. The first time, we had the steak tartare, cotoletta, and ossobuco, all paired with excellent wine chosen by the sommelier. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with the flavors balanced and rich. The steak tartare was fresh and flavorful, the cotoletta was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the ossobuco was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We enjoyed our meal so much that we had to return a second time. On our next visit, we ordered the cotoletta and ossobuco again, but also tried their pasta with ragù. The ragù was nothing short of amazing, with a depth of flavor that truly impressed us. Antica Osteria Il Ronchettino has easily become one of our favorite spots in Milan. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is an absolute must for top-quality food, excellent wine, and a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

The owner of the apartment I rented recommended them to me. I am a tourist coming from Saudi Arabia. I don’t know whether to talk about the delicious and filling food or about the kindness of the Italians and the beauty of talking to them. I wish I could spend more time with them, but of course they have work. They are really nice, and their food is similar to Saudi food. Milan is wonderful and everything in it is beautiful. Their tiramisu is incredible.

Simply the best Osteria Milanese in town. The menu includes all main dishes from Milan tradition with some innovation. I really recommend the cotoletta milanese and risotto alla milanese. The location is really cozy with multiple rooms in old style. Prices are in line with the offer. The location is in south Milan, outside of the city center so it is required a car to get there.

Absolutely fantastic experience, in an old building full of history. We weren’t staying in Milano but passing close, this was the perfect way to get a taste of the city without the traffic and complicated parking. Our host was SO nice and generous with his time. The food was fantastic, we had the osso bucco risotto and the cotoletta milanese which were both equally HUGE portions and delicious. Don’t rely on the reviews saying it’s too expensive: Those dishes can easily feed two people. Besides, everywhere is expensive around Milano - but you can’t find this quality of food and service everywhere!

We walked in here on a hunch that it would be a fantastic place and my Lord we were not disappointed. Although normally you would definitely need to make a reservation we were lucky that there was a table availae. As the menu was fully Italian the waiter selected all the dishes for us with some of the absolute classics as the ossobuco with risotto and the coteletta Milanese. What a rewarding experience was this. Will come again.

Absolutely loved the place. Service was excellent. Sommelier provides great advice. Also good for groups as some options are good for sharing.

One of the few typical Milanese restaurants of class and quality. Coincidentally like some similar others, it is located in the south of Milan. They are united by the great quality of typical Milanese dishes, but each one stands out for some different aspects. The Antica Osteria il Ronchettino is characterized by large rooms very well furnished and spacious: it is rare to find round tables like here, for 8-10 people, and in my opinion they are ideal compared to square or rectangular tables, because they facilitate the conversation among diners. Other strong points of this restaurant are the large amount of staff, all very attentive, fast, and extremely kind, and the rich wine list. The dishes are all the historical Milanese ones: mondeghili (meatballs), risotto, ossobuco, cutlet, brain. I was surprised at how full it was even on Saturday lunch: in any case it is essential to book well in advance.

Surprising elegant and beautiful location. We feld very comfortable in the covered yard by pergola. The food was lovely a tasty. I'll come back to this hot spot by the next opportunity.
