La Bettola di Piero

Fabulous! We have had probably one of the best dinners in Milan. The atmosphere was cozy and the service excellent. You can tell that it is a family owned business. We had the cotoletta (gigantic and so tasty!) and the marinated beef (a new plate off the menu, which was delicious!). Overall fantastic experience and very recommended.

Wonderful hosts, very friendly and helpful. I really loved the people here and I ate the absolute best food. The risotto was exquisite and I will be dreaming of the tiramisu until the next time I visit! Thank you for being so accommodating La Bettola di Piero!

Small restaurant with the authentic feeling of an old style local spot, though a long way from a bettola (whose original clients would likely have robbed the current ones). Excellent food from a small list, traditional with a twist. 3-5 vegetarian dishes always present makes this an even better find. Very friendly service, great atmosphere, mostly local customers. Excellent wine list, fairly priced. Highly recommended.

loved the hospitality, atmosphere, and food. it was our last meal in Milan for trip before heading to the airport to go back home and we were impressed. would recommend making reservations before your visit.

This restaurant might be the highlight of Milan for me. The people here are amazing, we came without knowing that we have to reserve a table beforehand, and we came exactly at lunch time. They told us that we can sit to eat for an hour, and yet they didn't rush us anyhow. The food are also 100% amazing, best food I ate on my trip.

Tonight I had a solo dinner at this charming place. Because I was eating alone they didn’t hesitate to prepare smaller portions for me so I could try and enjoy different flavours. Among all the dishes the risotto was heavenly. And no I’m not exaggerating.

If you're looking for a truly delightful dining experience in Milan, look no further than this charming restaurant. From the moment you step inside, you'll be struck by the warm and welcoming family atmosphere that permeates every corner of this establishment. But it's not just the ambiance that will leave you enchanted - the food is equally captivating. Every dish is crafted with care and attention to detail, resulting in an authentic Italian dining experience that will leave your taste buds singing. I had the pleasure of sampling the white fish tartare and pigeon main, both of which were beautifully presented and absolutely scrumptious. The flavours were expertly balanced, and every bite was a delight for the senses. But what really sets this restaurant apart is the impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that nothing was too much to ask, making the entire dining experience truly unforgettable. If you find yourself in Milan, be sure to put this place at the top of your list of places to eat in. You won't regret it - in fact, you'll likely leave feeling as though you've just discovered a hidden gem in the heart of the city.

We were very lucky to get in without booking, even just the two of us. The atmosphere was lovely, felt very homely and one of the most authentic feeling family restaurants I have seen in my short time in Italy. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and honest. The spaghetti with spring onions was tasty and the (nettle?) soup was interesting and pleasant. I would particularly recommend the Torte for dessert. We were able to find a fair few vegetarian dishes (primi) which was also good. The food was also fairly priced.

Simply superb from start to finish!! Exquisite food, gracious hosts, every dish and glass of wine was perfection. Cannot recommend highly enough, A++

The best Italian food I've literally ever had. Absolute hidden gem. Quaint authentic Italian place away from the tourist place

Three of us girls from The States on a birthday celebration trip and our first time in Milano. Stumbled upon this gem thanks to Yelp and could not have been more pleased. We would come back every night if possible!! Absolutely SUPERB!!

We go to the restaurant a little before 8pm for dinner and when we entered, there was no one inside. There was no sign whether it was open or not when suddenly someone from the kitchen came out and asked us to sit down. In a few mins, the place was full. The place was a bit old but you can tell that its a neighborhood restaurant with a lot of local regulars. For the appetizer, we had the home-made pate which was good in flavor but too grainy for me. For primi, I had the mushroom risotto which was very good, right texture and flavor and my friend had the spaghetti aglio olio which had a very good balance on the spice. For the secondi, we shared a fried veal scallopini which was crispy, flavorful and not oily. We also ordered the sauteed celery which was so good. For dessert, we had the tiramisu which was just ok. The service was good -- most of them didn't speak English but they were very accommodating.

I am married to an Italian so I am very picky about Italian food, my expectations are very high. When my husband and I travel we never go to the same restaurant twice, we like to try different restaurants, this restaurant was so good, we went again. The food is fresh and homemade, every bite was pure heaven. For an appetizer I have this risotto that was cooked and then crispy it was so good I ate every little bit of it and shared only a forkful to my husband, I am sorry it was that good. I had this steak in Oil and masked potatoes for dinner the first night it was just right and osso buco the second night, the meat fell off the bone it was so tender it melted in your mouth. For dessert the first night I had tiramisu, it could not have been fresher it was one of the best Tiramisu I have ever had, the second night I had bonet, because my husband had it the night before and I took one bite and that was it, it was the owner's grandmother's recipe, perfect. House wine was amazing. You were given a little taste before ordering, it was a fritta the second night. The service was amazing, I don't know how the waitress managed all the tables. It was teamwork everyone pitched in. It is not a fancy place, it is simple Italian, feels like eating at a very close Italian relative's house. If you are looking for good Italian food it does not get any better. Prices are also very reasonable. What a find. I will be back.

Monica and Rossano, the owners of this restaurant, are fantastic people with a devotion for their job. Once you step in you realize that La Bettola di Piero is not a common restaurant: it is a temple of fine wines and delicious food. It is not a hip place but it is known to all the most important artists and TV people in Milano. Still, it keeps its fresh and modest look, along with the warmth of the staff. I've had the pleasure to have dinner there multiple times and I use to go there at least once a week to say my prayer to the best Italian food. The cuisine has roots in the Piedmont and Lombard tradition, with influences of Southern cuisine. A mix you will fall in love with!
