Alessandro Bistrot della Pesa In Milano

Nice restaurant in the Garibaldi area. Good, traditional food. A cured meats appetizer, risotto and gnocchi for the first course, and polenta with braised meat for the second. Dessert: zabaglione, truly delicious. Good food, perfect for a business dinner.

Always nice to go back to the bistrot or antica trattoria! Very stylish and authentic, and the food is very tasty.

It's fine...for tourists. The atmosphere is pleasant, the service is good, the ingredients are good, but if I order a Milanese cutlet and get a boneless, breaded slice that's less than 3mm thick (literally), then Milanese people would be better off looking elsewhere.

Excellent restaurant: from the delicious Milanese risotto to the cutlet, even the panettone with cream... Very attentive service, and a place that feels "authentic." Well done.

The Rigatoni that changed my life - I don't know where to begin. Perhaps from the moment I crossed the threshold of Bistrot della Pesa and felt an inexplicable energy in the air. Or perhaps from when the waiter, with an almost angelic stride, placed the work of art in front of me: rigatoni with tomato sauce. Yes, rigatoni with tomato sauce. And calling them "rigatoni" is an understatement: they were cylinders of perfection, likely sculpted by a Renaissance craftsman himself. And the tomato sauce? More than just sauce: it was liquid poetry, an ode to the sun, the very essence of the Mediterranean captured on a plate. At my first bite, I had a moment of inner silence. I think I saw the Duomo light up with an unusual glow, and for a moment, it seemed as if the Naviglio canal was flowing faster. Even my Apple Watch registered an unexpected emotional surge. Every forkful was a chapter in an epic novel. The tomato caressed the pasta like a painter blending red onto a canvas, and I, poor mortal, was just trying to live up to such culinary grace. If Dante had tried these rigatoni, he would have added a circle of paradise dedicated to pasta. The Bistrot della Pesa? A holy place. A temple. A carbohydrate cathedral. Rigatoni with tomato sauce? A sacrament. I still dream about them at night.

Excellent food! One of the best restaurants for Milanese food.

Classic Italian cuisine, flawlessly executed. I had Guinea fowl, then ossobuco with risotto milanese. Ossobuco was perfectly cooked, super tender, risotto was among best I've ever had, so saffrony and with the ideal texture and bite. Nice wines, tasty dessert and friendly and very professional service rounded off the experience. Highly recommended, thanks again for the lovely night to the team.
