The 37 Best Restaurants in Milan

"Open for: Dinner Price range: $$$ You’ll find Erba Brusca alongside the Naviglio Pavese canal, where the city begins to blend with smaller towns. The restaurant has an expansive on-site vegetable garden and an overall radical-chic vibe to go with the hyperlocal, seasonal tasting menu that changes weekly. Chef Alice Delcourt takes influence from her youth, split among France, the U.K., and the U.S. Options might include braised octopus with preserved sweet peppers, olives, capers, and fresh chickpea pancake, or kale risotto with sun-dried tomato pesto, sunflower seeds, and lemon. Vibe check: Few tourists find their way to this picturesque spot on the Pavese canal." - Elizabeth De Filippo-Jones

The 12 Best Restaurants In Milan 2024

"In Northern Italy, an extensive network of canals flows from the lakes, under the streets, and into hundreds of rice fields, producing the supreme carnaroli Italian risotto rice that you’ll find at restaurants like Erba Brusca. This spot is south of the Naviglio Pavese canal, but well worth the 15-minute taxi ride from the Porta Genova metro stop. On most nights, you can walk in uninvited, pull up a chair at the communal table, and feel like you've escaped the city for a countryside trattoria. Go in hungry for the tasting menu to experience the versatility of the kitchen—you’ll get things like eggplant risotto with sour cream, basil, dukka, and pickled raisins. At lunchtime, the outdoor garden is a highly-coveted reservation for in-the-know Milanese." - elizabeth de filippo jones

"Set on a bucolic canal on the outskirts of the city (read: a decent taxi ride), Erba Brusca is run by French-US chef Alice Delcourt, whose previous positions include a stint at The River Café in London. A mainstay of the menu is the pasta with clams, truffles and wild erba brusca (sorrel). As with many of the ingredients that end up in Delcourt’s colourful dishes, the sorrel is plucked directly from the adjoining garden: come in the warmer months when the tables spill out onto the patio. Delcourt’s partner – sommelier and maître d’ Danilo Ingannamorte – will help you to navigate the natural wine list."

The menu changes quite frequently here based on the season, but you can expect the ingredients to be incredibly fresh. Just note that options for vegetarians (and especially vegans) can be limited here despite the restaurant’s large garden, as there’s a focus on meat and fish. Desserts like the poppy seed cake are especially good. -- FLAWLESSlife.

Amazing place with super interesting and unique food! The carrot entry and the citrusy cabbage stake for example were really fresh with many layered flavours. The staff is also very friendly and professional we confused the reservation time but they were very understanding! They also gave us a complimentary coffee sorbet which I loved even though I don’t even drink coffee. Overall a great place highly recommend! (Unfortunatelly, my pictures are not very good.)

We were three people, each ordering different menus, and the food was truly incredible. It’s a really interesting experience to try new flavors. The three staff members working were super friendly! The atmosphere was pleasant. It’s a very lovely place, we will be back.

Their meal like music. Sometimes it is so complex layer of flavors and textures, sometimes it is so simple relying on its own natural taste 😍 They create their own wine, there is a super fermenter working in the restaurant. She is in charge to brings umami to Milan 😉 I will be back

Erba Brusca, located outside Milan, offers a peaceful escape with its lovely garden and terrace. However, the cuisine fell short for me. Despite aiming for creativity, the flavors were too basic and the combinations sometimes unfortunate. The exceptional kindness of the service was a highlight, but overall, the food did not meet my expectations.

Need to drive or take a taxi there, but it's worth it. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the food is amazing and fresh. You can order things a la carte, but the set menu options are an incredible deal. There are a lot of mosquitos in the garden, but they offer sprays you can use.

I absolutely love this place! It's a little out of central Milan, but the experience is definitely worth the trip! Each dish was delicious! I loved the flavour combinations! The lamb was delicious, as was the beetroot risotto! So glad we went!

In a quiet and lovely atmosphere created by the rustic design and greenery all around, it is really surprising to find such an amazing culinary experience! You don't have to order. You just get a weekly changing menu course by course, and each dish is better than the last!
