Frangente

All reviews are true, we were very lucky to be seated without a booking and experienced this amazing restaurant. Food was top tier, everything we tried was amazing, excellent cocktails and very friendly and welcoming staff. Only good things to say, highly recommended.

A very commendable experience. The wines are superb and the service is very friendly. At the conclusion of the first two courses (pasta and veal) this place was deserving of six stars. The dessert was not to the same standard (crème brûlée was still frozen and no taste notes of the promised liquorice) but given everything else it still easily warrants five stars. Definitely make a reservation as many groups were turned away as the restaurant was full for lunch on Saturday.

Despite arriving late, practically as the last straggler, the staff welcomed us with open arms and warm smiles. Their hospitality was truly commendable, even if their English was a bit... enthusiastic. The open kitchen offered a fascinating glimpse into a calm and focused operation, and the atmosphere was inviting. However, the food itself, while not offensive, seemed to be taking a late-night nap. It was the culinary equivalent of a comfortable, but unremarkable, pair of slippers. Not bad, just... resolutely average. But the staff's kindness? That was a five-star experience in itself.

We came here as a party of 2 after seeing Frangante show up on a couple of food lists. All in all we had an interesting, tasty and delicious experience! What we liked about the experience as a whole is that chef Frederico has taken some classic Milanese dishes and has put his unique spin on them. Enough of a spin to keep them interesting yet approachable. We enjoyed every dish but the 2 that stood out for us were the Trippa and Squid. The trippa was cleaned extremely well and had no unpleasant smell or taste. The squid was cooked to perfection and the flavors were really great. Service as a whole was friendly and accommodative, especially considering my partner was pregnant. Chef was willing to cook the veal to a more medium-well done, and even separated the bottarga from the pasta just in case! Our only feedback is that service did slowdown quite a bit as the restaurant started to fill up, so they might want to consider hiring another pair of hands. Either way we had such a great experience and will definitely be back should we find ourselves in Milan again!

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Frangente Milano, where everything from the atmosphere to the food and service exceeded our expectations. To start, we ordered the Roasted sweetbread with lobster, zucchini, and lemon zest, along with the Beef tartare with anchovies, capers, and mullet roe. Both dishes were beautifully plated and packed with flavor. The sweetbread was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside with a rich, buttery texture inside—complemented by the freshness of the lobster. The beef tartare was equally impressive, with the umami from the anchovies and the briny depth of the mullet roe adding wonderful complexity. For our main courses, we enjoyed the Milanese-style veal cutlet, the Pork terrine with prawn salad and beef tendon, and the Milanese risotto with saffron and bone marrow. The veal cutlet was outstanding—crispy, golden-brown on the outside, yet incredibly tender and juicy inside, showcasing a perfect balance of texture and flavor. The pork terrine was smooth and rich, beautifully paired with the freshness of the prawn salad. The Milanese risotto was a true highlight—creamy, luxurious, and infused with the delicate aroma of saffron, while the bone marrow added an indulgent richness. Beyond the exceptional food, what truly set this experience apart was the impeccable service. The entire staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about ensuring an unforgettable meal. The sommelier’s expertise stood out, as they provided thoughtful wine pairings that elevated each dish. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for wine and cuisine made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Frangente Milano is a must-visit for anyone seeking an elegant yet welcoming dining experience in the city. The combination of expertly crafted dishes, warm hospitality, and an outstanding wine selection makes this restaurant truly special. We will definitely be returning!👍🏻

This restaurant does an excellent job at making classic Milanese dishes suitable for a multi course, a la carte meal. I came for a solo dinner at the sleek counter and ordered with the help of the waiter everything that I found interesting from the menu. The chef then adjusted the portion sizes accordingly.Risotto with bone marrow and saffron as well as the veal cutlet are great classics of Milanese cuisine and those were standout dishes here. Some more creative dishes were equally yummy and well prepared. I paired according to the waiter's recommendation with a few wines by the glass, all rock solid. Overall, a place I would recommend without any hesitations.

Wonderful restaurant, eagerly welcomed me and despite no reservation found me a lovely table. Despite my broken Italian I was able to order food and drinks comfortably as everyone spoke a little English. Food was sublime, the small starter of bread and salami was the prefect amuse bouche, I chose a simple ravioli dish that was complemented with sage butter and marrow. The negroni was strong (just as they should be) and I also got a little petit four at the end of the meal. The interior is simple but charming, clearly a lot of attention to detail. At the end of the meal the head chef brought out the bill (as I had seen him do to many other tables) asked after the food and if I had a lovely time (I had). This was a wonderful little touch and I would highly recommend anyone visiting or living in Milan to visit.

Local place for picky eaters with unusual mixes and taste. A good choice of fine wines together with helpful service - and yes, there are enough waiters to serve you (not like in average bistro). Portions are not huge, but just right to leave the place with pleasant feeling of being well-fed. Very cozy atmosphere inside. Ravioli with pumpkin- highly recommended!
