OrderThe risotto of the day, the tortelli and the seasonal tasting set.
TipBookings open one week ahead. Lunch carte at 30 euros is the cheaper way in; the dining room is small and intimate.
Il Cairoli in Milan's Brera district is the modern-Italian dining room of chef Marco Sacco's Milan project, opened 2019. Located in Centro Storico.
OrderThe seasonal tasting set; the risotto with bone marrow and the seasonal primo are the signatures.

OrderThe risotto alla milanese, the cotoletta with bone in and the vitello tonnato.
