I ordered an osso buco with saffron rice for lunch on the terrace. I really enjoyed the large portion. (20€) For dessert, an airy merengue/caramel cream (4€). Self-made! They even bake the crusty bread themselves! Gladly again.

Ordered the tirolese, it was very good only a bit dry. The service was amazing, the lady who served us was very nice and attentive, also the area is fairly calm and comfortable.

This is a MUST while in Milano. The best Cotolette you can try. The basic Cotolette starts at 10€ with the option to add Risotto alla Milanese (+4€). Then, there are other “toppings” and complements you can add to the Cotolette. During Weekends, prices increase up to 15€ the basic Cotolette. I’d recommend to try the Tirolese Cotolette with Risotto and Grilled Vegetables. (See picture, price starts from 17€ +4€ on Sundays) IMPORTANT: Dishes are GENEROUS, so it’s perfect to share if you wish. In the attached picture, you can see they separate the food from the kitchen already.
