La Piola

When in Milan, it has to be Risotto alla Milanese con Ossobuco. I had just arrived in the city and assumed most places would be fully booked—but luckily, this charming restaurant had one table available and welcomed me in with warm hospitality. The atmosphere was wonderfully authentic, like a cozy, family-run Italian trattoria. I had a salad, some cheese, and of course, the main dish. Everything was delicious! The ossobuco was fall-apart tender with a mild, comforting flavor. In contrast, the risotto had that perfect al dente bite, with rich cheese notes and just the right touch of saffron. It paired so well with the red wine that I ended up having three glasses! If you’re looking to enjoy classic Milanese cuisine in a casual and heartwarming setting, I highly recommend this place

The staff was really friendly! He gave us the best recommendations. The Milano risotto with saffrons was so great! Mixed with the Oxtail, the risotto was the next level. Compared to the risotto, I think the fired pork steak was not that surprised. Just the normal taste, which reminded me of the chicken popcorn of KFC. The grilled veggies were also good. I like the original taste of the veggies. The Panna cotta was amazing! The milky and creamy texture and taste made you can’t stop eating. However, their tiramisu was not really great… I think was too dry and the mascarpone cream was not enough. Overall, the main dishes were excellent.

The osso buco I enjoyed at this restaurant was exceptional. Its rich and robust flavors lingered perfectly, making it a must-try dish. If you’re visiting Milan, this spot is definitely one you can’t miss.🥰

All of the women staff were very nice with good service. The food was pretty good though not the most spectacular, but still worth going. I hope this does not sound entitled but i did feel the service could improve. One staff made us feel rushed to leave, and he showed a bit of attitude, i believe for a highly rated place and a more pricy restaurant, he should have been more respectful.

Best restaurant I’ve been to in Milano. Amazing range of traditional cuisine, big portions and absolutely top notch quality! I tried the Milanese risotto with Milanese cotoletta which was recommended to me and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant!

We were staying just up the road from this lively little restaurant and called here for an evening meal. All the staff were lovely and friendly. we had trouble accessing the English menu on my phone, so a member of staff let us use his phone . My husband and I had the cheese balls to start with, and both had pasta dishes for our main meal both delicious and reasonably priced for Milan at around €13 each. We sat outside watching the world go by which was really nice.

The food and service were perfect! Really enjoyable. If I come to Milan again, I will definitely come back. It’s definitely a 5-star experience!

Nice Milanese food! Place is small though. Ask for the English menu (they are still updating as of 8 June 2019). The staff will walk you through their menu. Loved their risottos, steak with asparagus and cheese balls. They got a decent list of wines as well.

The wine is outstanding and the steak is cooked into perfection. The tiramisu has a traditional taste and it's not too sweet. The service is excellent.

A great homie traditional milanese restaurant. I had a fun dinner with some friends here over the Christmas holidays. We shared some appetizers, drank three bottles of wine, and had each one a main dish. It's a bit loud, but where in Italy you find a quiet restaurant? Highly suggested. They take AMEX, and other cards. Remember to reserve a table. It can get crowded..
