Trattoria della Gloria

Great food, lovely atmosphere, and super friendly staff! Had a fantastic time here – highly recommend!

Trattoria della Gloria offers a cozy dining experience with a small, well-curated menu that feels unique and authentic. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared and flavorful, capturing the essence of Italian cuisine. Prices are fair for the quality. A great find!

The stand out meal from our trip to Milan! Why anyone would eat at one of those restaurants on the Navigli when this is nearby boggles my mind. I started with anchovies and dandelion and the we both went for the Polenta with Porcini mushrooms with blue cheese. And we shared a dessert of ganache with hazelnuts. The wine list is in the head of the maitre de and you tell him the wine you like and he makes a few suggestions based on availability on price and away you go! About 70% locals eating there (and it was packed) which says a lot about the quality and value of the food. Chatted to the Maitre de and he was saying the menu is kept short so as to stay seasonal and to keep waste down. All the staff seemed to be genuinely enjoying their jobs and invested in the restaurant which was amazing. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

This place is a must. Absolutely exceptional. Mini minestrone, perfect little starter. Rabbit pate was so delicious and the timpano was a must. The service was some of the best, great vibe, so knowledgeable with wines and the food - perfect. You can’t go wrong.

Delicious food and great selection of natural wines. Great service, friendly yet professional and passionate. Portions might be slightly bigger.

A beautiful lunch on our first day in Italy. Passionate, interested, hospitable staff offering delicious fare at reasonable prices in a cosy and warm dining space. There was a brilliant Sunday lunch time hum and we so enjoyed being a part of it!

If you want a delicious meal away from the crowds and surrounded by happy locals- go to Trattoria della Gloria! Our server and co-owner Rocco made us feel like a friend and guided our choices to a great meal. We sat outside on their sidewalk patio and were amazed at the number of locals who came pouring in well after 9pm. We would frequent this place too if we were lucky enough to live nearby. Make a reservation!

Great local food in a warm place. Friendly staff. We would definitely come back when in Milan.

Excellent neighborhood trattoria Friendly helpful staff Great chef and food that unique

This restaurant was recommended by our Airbnb host who said it was a traditional Italian restaurant and a must try. We didn't have reservations but since we wandered in early (around 7:45pm) they said we could eat as long as we were done by 9:30pm. Fine by me! :) We ordered the prosciutto plate to share along with the fettuccini al pesto with anchovies and the duck with potatoes. The fettuccini was super fresh and delish- though I imagine at least half a stick of butter was in that sauce! It's a pretty limited menu and changes based on freshness and local ingredients. I appreciate their effort to use local products and non-GMO goods. Gloria was in the kitchen cooking up a storm! I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and to make a reservation. If not, you can always hop around navigli for the aperitivo crawl where you can get a drink and buffet for 10 euros.

I can especially suggest you to order the veal Milanese better than Wiener Schnitzel! The amuse guelle, free starter is a little pizza that is better than anything I had before in terms of pizza!

In an inconspicous building, off the beaten track in an alley near Milan's canal district, lies the most wonderful trattoria you will ever visit. We were three friends staying in Milan for a week, dining well at Michelin-restaurants and the like. However the best food and experience bar none, was Trattoria della Gloria. Upon entering the premises you are immediately heartily greeted by the owner/waiter. The atmosphere is so stereotypically Italian, with the warm light, red checkered table cloths and trinkets on the wall, you almost suspect it to be a tourist trap. However we seemed to be the only foreigners there, and the waitress also seemed kind of surprised to see tourists there, when she immediately asked: "How did you find this place?". She was prompt with the menus, talkative and spoke perfect english. The menu was not divided into antipasti, primi or secondi, but all dishes were put on one page. As an appetiser, everyone were served fresh warm foccacias, and they were sublime. Perhaps the best foccaccia I've ever tasted. As a main I ordered the beef tartar. Plain rustique presentation, and tasted excellent. When we asked for the dessert chart, she just replied: "What do you want?". Obviously there's no need for a menu at a classic Trattoria, and I of course knew what I wanted. The Tiramisu was just perfect, absolute wonderful balance between the sweet and the liquor. After spending three hours there, we almost didn't want to leave. If you're in Milan, you simply HAVE to go to Trattoria della Gloria.

We were in Milan for only two days. We searched on Yelp for a good italian restaurant and found this place. We were staying at the Marriott, the map said 1.2 miles walking, so we decided to take the walk and enjoy the scenery. We got lost. It took us an hour and half to find this place. It is off the beaten path and not easy to find (even with maps). We walked in the restaurant, only two of the table had people seated. This was at 8:30 p.m. We were "greeted" by a man who asked how many, when I replied 2, we asked if we had reservations. We replied no. he told us he could not seat us. Ok, fine, I asked to use the restroom as we had been lost for a while and I was desperate. He first told me that the restroom was difficult and started to lead me to a door, then he turned around and said "no restroom for you." REALLY?? Obviously we didn't eat there, but I would never return back there based off that experience.

Food is delicious. The owner/operator does not speak any English so be prepared to make your way through some rough Italian. Burrata and the antipasti are delicious. The mains are a bit heavy. The pasta dishes are amazing, esp. the ones with garlic. The house wine isnt that good, would recommend a bottle.

no doubt 5-starer. top quality ingredients and top quality attentiveness to the food, but you have to be into the heavier and meatier side of life. They have slow cooked beef (stracotto) which is amazing both in the pasta and when served as a secondo with this awesome black polenta it comes with (black because of black rice, not squid ink). The steak tartar is great, and unique as it comes with lemon. They serve some great homemade liquors at the end, fennel and limoncello came with ours.

Very nice small and isolated trattoria. The ravioli are very good and the service is very nice. Book in advance is necessary.

Food was good, I would give it 3-4 stars but then -2 stars for the man that gave us the same corked bottle of wine. First of all - I have never been given a brand new full bottle of wine delivered to my table without seeing the bottle opened by the server or asked to taste. We ordered a bottle of the Barolo and this is exactly what happened! I tasted the wine and wanted to spit it out immediately, it was SOUR and the color was off, closer to that of apple cider. I could not believe that the guy inside just pushed a cork back into the SAME bottle and brought it out to us. To their defense, the lady server was very nice and apologized for the wine. Common guys, we are not stupid - even the group of men next to us that you decided to comp the bottle to did not want to touch it! anyways - moving on to the food. The pastas were good. Cottoletta was not bad. Osso bucco was just OK. I would recommend this place, but just avoid drinking the wine! There are so many better trattoria's in the city that you can enjoy! But living around Navigli area makes it limited!
