Old style italian Osteria with homemade dishes to share and natural wines in Milan.A ‘Osteria’ like those of the past, Osteria alla Concorrenza in Milano, where you can drink (natural) wines happily with friends and taste various dishes to share in a nice, informal and welcoming atmosphere.The plates to order on the blackboard are united by the mouth watering just reading them, such as the platter of cold cuts, Recco focaccia with mortadella, pickled vegetables (good!) radicchio and Morbier, bean soup and hen in saor.For wine, it is better to ask for advice to the host who will surely find the bottle that best meets the tastes of the diners: in my case an interesting Nebbiolo that cleaned up the palate between one bite and another.Beautiful floor ‘old Milan style’ and the pictures on the walls, I would have taken a thousand other photos.

You ultimate ‘lunch like a local’ option in a quiet neighbourhood of the Porta Romana district.As the name suggests, the menu features freshly made pasta dishes inspired by Southern Italy, meaning you might get to enjoy pacchetti with octopus ragù or spaghetti with mussels and friggeteli, after sampling a few delicious meat or vegetable-based appetisers such as tender turnip greens, or fried squid with salicornia.

Old school trattoria with all the classics on the menu, served by senior, slightly grumpy staff. Finding an old school trattoria in central Milan is not easy. The best ones have either closed or become a bit too polished or hip. Trattoria Milanese is not too touristy, with all the classics on the menu, senior, slightly grumpy staff and 90 % local (male) customers. The long menu features vitello tonnato, a smooth minced veal battuta, a nice saffron perfumed risotto with osso buco. Ask for the daily veggies - the raw sliced carciofi are delicious. Tiramisu for dessert. Drink pitchers of cheap house wine.

The Trattoria Masuelli cotoletta (schnitzel) enters by right among my favorites in Milan (ultra-crispy breading with eggs, breadcrumbs and panko and very soft meat of high quality), really good!Delicate rabbit tuna with zucchini in carpione and sage in batter.Pleasant the agnolotti del Plin with roast sauce and the 'Spago Milano' spaghetto di Gragnano with saffron with marrow ristretto (the flavor recalls and recalls a lot that of the risotto of the same name but I missed perhaps the greedy part of the cream of the risotto).Very nice wine list, I decided for a good accompaniment with two different bottles of Produttori del Barbaresco with excellent value for money.Also try a lustful mascarpone cream with cat's tongues.

Contemporary Milanese cuisine in family owned trattoria.Trattoria del Nuovo Macello serves good Milanese cuisine revisited in a contemporary way. Opened 60 years ago by the same family owning it now, the trattoria is located in the eastern Calvairate district.

Family style, well made, simple but tasty comfort food. Grilled meats, pasta, pizza alta and cotoletta.This little, old place, opened in the 1950’s, is run by a family with the father and mother Luisa in the front. Diego, the son, is the chef. A family restaurant where you can eat well made, simple but tasty comfort food made of slow food produce. Not quite milanese but North Italian - on the menu they have various grilled meats, pasta, pizza alta and the famous thin cotoletta alla milanese. They also serve natural wines. The place is very small, so book in advance.

Truly Italian place. Dont let my bad pictures discourage you not coming here. This is a simple restaurant with a truly italian family vibe. I have a soft heart for classical italian places. They are known for their traditional Italian cuisine, particularly their pasta dishes. Make a reservation
