Antica Trattoria della Pesa in Metropolitan City of Milan

"Simply the best authentic Milanese restaurant so far, the fillet is super awesome, not to forget the saffron risotto , as well as other dishes. Very well done, highly recommended."

"Excellent Milanese cuisine in a very charming historical setting. Tables are set with monogrammed linens and silver. Dishes are brought to the tables on a cart by the waiters. Recommended to us by a local, the Antica Trattoria Della Pesa, was a a wonderful choice for lunch. An opportunity to enjoy great food and timeless elegance."

"The excellent food alone deserves 5 stars, but the refined old school atmosphere and exceptional service takes this dining experience to a sublime level. We looked forward to our lunch here after talking to with a local and asking for a dining recommendation. She was very enthusiastic about looking it up on the map for us so she could share one of her favorite restaurants in Milan with us. We wish we could personally thank this stranger for such a lovely recommendation. We started with Prosciutto di Parma, it was delicious. Then I had the Gnocchi verdi al gorgonzola, a truly wonderful dish. I can’t recall the name of what my wife ordered but it was an excellent stuffed pasta with sage and butter I believe, a delightful combination that was a joy to taste. This restaurant is not cheap but it is worth the money for a very pleasurable dining experience."

"Trattoria della Pesa is an absolute gem for anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Milanese dining experience. The service was exceptionally attentive from start to finish, making us feel perfectly cared for. We were delighted by the great choices on the menu, which expertly balances traditional, comforting dishes with fresh, seasonal options. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Costoletta alla Milanese—it was top-notch and perfectly executed. We also appreciated their consideration for dietary needs: my partner has a dairy intolerance, and the kitchen was thoughtful enough to tailor a beautiful meal just for her. Highly recommended for fantastic food and accommodating service!"

"This trattoria has a classic vibe, with pure and typical Milanese cusine. This is a Milan highlight for me. Authentic and delicious food, impeccable service. The servers are all career waiters, older men (I say this time and time again, best sign), and I was blown away by the attention to detail, every detail of the interiors and utensils were beautiful. You can tell everyone who worked there takes pride in what they do. The tortellinis, with ricotta cheese and spinach, with butter and sage are such a simple dish and so so well done. The gnocchi with gorgonzola cheese are a plate for those who enjoy a good strong in palate dish, even though amazingly balanced. And I recommend to book much in advance!!!"

"a true traditional Milanese spot. must hit if you want to savour authentic flavours. get the risotto alla milanese or riso al salto for something more rare, without doubt get the costoletta alla Milanese."

"This restaurant is located near Corso Como and represents a pillar of Milanese traditional kitchen and flavors. The signature dishes are risotto alla milanese, with saffron and parmesan, also with beef meat and bones. There are also good appetizers like ham, salami and other typical Italian. The service is quick and very expert. The price is relatively high, but definitely deserves a try."

"I love eating at Antica Trattoria della Pesa in Milan. It’s an authentic and charming dining experience steeped in tradition. The restaurant’s vintage decor and cozy atmosphere transport you back in time, enhancing the enjoyment of classic Milanese dishes. The ossobuco with risotto alla Milanese and cotoletta are insane. The menu showcases the best of Northern Italian cuisine. The attentive service and high-quality food make each visit memorable. The exceptional culinary experience and nostalgic ambiance make it well worth a visit for those seeking traditional Milanese flavors in a historic setting ."
