Trattoria del Nuovo Macello

I walked in around 1:30pm and got seated immediately by a friendly host. Server was equally friendly and they guided me through the menu. Had the sfoglia appetizer, a pasta dish, and then the star came out: risotto Milanese. Rich with cream, butter, and saffron, this dish was last meal worthy. I finished with the tiramisu which was also excellent. All in all this meal was a 9.5 out of 10. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, almost like you’re in someone’s living room. Good for groups of 2 or 4 probably. There was a round table for 6 perhaps.

We visited Trattoria Nuovo Macello and had a very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is classic and authentic, exactly what you expect from a traditional Milanese trattoria: warm, welcoming, and relaxed. We had the cotoletta, which was excellent, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Portions were generous and the food felt honest and true to Milanese tradition, without unnecessary twists. Service was friendly, attentive, and professional, with a relaxed pace that allowed us to enjoy the meal comfortably. A great choice in Milan if you’re looking for authentic local cuisine in a genuine, no-nonsense setting. Highly recommended.

I have been coming to this restaurant for the last 20+ years, and it is always a guarantee. One of the few cases I know of, of a restaurant managing to keep the 'snail' (too distinction) of the slow food restaurant guide for decades in a row: meaning that the quality does not go down, and the prices do not go up - not too much, at least. One if the most respected Italian restaurant critics claims it has the best cotoletta alla Milanese and I can only agree. This said, next to the evergreens (cotoletta, risotto and so on) there are always several new modern takes on traditional dishes - some you may have never heard before. Service always attentive. Refined and relaxed atmosphere. Count on me for the next twenty years!

The atmosphere and service were excellent! Most of the dishes were fairly average, but the standout was definitely the Cotoletta alla Milanese.

Wow. What can I say. Staff great wine superb. But best of all they sorted me the best Vegan meal in a while. Made a real effort in a large group to cater for a few fussy ones 😉 like me. Many thx. Will be back and thx for a great night.

Love this place! The risotto is so good and also the cotoletta! But I would prefer to eat them in winter time so I prob will come again in winter period

Had a wonderful lunch with my better half in the basement dining room, which was rustic, cozy, quiet and absolutely beautiful. I loved the elevated and modern take on some of the most famous dishes of the Milanese culinary tradition, the risotto was creamy, fragrant and heartwarming, the veal chop was to die for, I could have eaten another 5 of those! Loved the dessert as well and the wine selection was excellent. Impeccable service and super pleasant experience, I’m definitely going back.

Amazing food all around, every dish was great, authentic Milanese food
