Antica Trattoria della Pesa

Excellent Milanese cuisine in a very charming historical setting. Tables are set with monogrammed linens and silver. Dishes are brought to the tables on a cart by the waiters. Recommended to us by a local, the Antica Trattoria Della Pesa, was a a wonderful choice for lunch. An opportunity to enjoy great food and timeless elegance.

a true traditional Milanese spot. must hit if you want to savour authentic flavours. get the risotto alla milanese or riso al salto for something more rare, without doubt get the costoletta alla Milanese.

The excellent food alone deserves 5 stars, but the refined old school atmosphere and exceptional service takes this dining experience to a sublime level. We looked forward to our lunch here after talking to with a local and asking for a dining recommendation. She was very enthusiastic about looking it up on the map for us so she could share one of her favorite restaurants in Milan with us. We wish we could personally thank this stranger for such a lovely recommendation. We started with Prosciutto di Parma, it was delicious. Then I had the Gnocchi verdi al gorgonzola, a truly wonderful dish. I can’t recall the name of what my wife ordered but it was an excellent stuffed pasta with sage and butter I believe, a delightful combination that was a joy to taste. This restaurant is not cheap but it is worth the money for a very pleasurable dining experience.

This restaurant is located near Corso Como and represents a pillar of Milanese traditional kitchen and flavors. The signature dishes are risotto alla milanese, with saffron and parmesan, also with beef meat and bones. There are also good appetizers like ham, salami and other typical Italian. The service is quick and very expert. The price is relatively high, but definitely deserves a try.

Before coming to Milan, read several articles and watched a few YouTube videos on the best restaurants for local Lombardian/Milanese cuisine. This place was mentioned in every single one and did not disappoint. Be prepared for Milanese Viel, Saffron Risotto and various other cuts and chops. A must visit when in Milan in my opinion.

The food is classic Milanese with incredible risottos and ossobucco. The fried saffron risotto was unique

A classic eatery in every sense: decor, service, food. A delightful discovery.

Overall opinion: Antica Trattoria Della pesa proposes a traditional menu in an Italian rustic atmosphere. A stopover will allow you to sample some of Milano’s specialities. I had the gnocchi which were one of the best I’ve ever had. I recommend booking in advance to be sure of getting a table during your stay in Milano
