44 italian rooms in Milan we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Milan | Italian across every city.
Italian cooking in Milan splits between the Lombard classics and a wave of ambitious modern kitchens, and the city does both at the highest level. For the traditional table, Trippa in Porta Romana and Trattoria Masuelli San Marco keep the offal-and-risotto heritage alive, while Ratana in Isola updates it with confidence. At the fine-dining end, Cracco and Andrea Aprea Fine Dining anchor the Centro Storico and Il Luogo di Aimo e Nadia in Tortona remains a benchmark, with risotto alla milanese and cotoletta running through the menus as the city's signatures.
