Milan’s Finest: A Guide to the City’s Best Bites

We’re heading to Milan soon, and if you’re coming along, there’s one thing you should plan just as carefully as the night out: what you’re eating.

Here’s what we’d recommend you try while you’re in town 👇

The Must-Try Classics

Risotto alla Milanese

Golden, creamy, and infused with saffron, this is the soul of Milan on a plate. If you only order one thing, make it this.

Ossobuco

Slow-cooked veal shanks with bone marrow and zesty gremolata. It’s rich, deep, and worth a proper sit-down meal.

Don’t rush it.

Milan is a city that rewards those who slow down just enough to notice the details. Whether you’re standing at a historic mahogany bar or lounging in a hidden courtyard:

• Order something local (a Negroni Sbagliato or a Campari Soda).

• Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere.

• Then come find us.

Cotoletta alla Milanese

A thick, butter-fried veal cutlet, breaded and golden. It’s like a schnitzel, but significantly more "elevated."

Aperitivo

This is non-negotiable. In the early evening, drinks are served with a curated selection of snacks or small plates, the perfect prelude to a night out.
