27/12/2025: If you're in the area it is worth a stop. Really nice food and good butcher shop. Nice selection of wine for the bar style meal even in winter.
I would recommend to a friend.
Sure it would be even better to take away in the summer.
16/12/2025: The Best Experience in Milan
Macelleria Popolare is one of those places that defines the Milanese experience. No airs, no pretensions, just incredibly good food, an authentic atmosphere, and fair prices. It's half traditional butcher shop, half popular restaurant, and that's precisely where its magic lies.
The quality of the meat is spectacular: fresh, expertly prepared, and with a flavor you can taste from the first bite. The paninis are amazing, especially the tongue, pastrami, or tartare ones—generous portions and full of character. Everything tastes homemade, honest, as if someone who loves their craft were cooking just for you.
The atmosphere is 100% local, relaxed, with shared tables and people enjoying themselves at a leisurely pace. Ideal for going hungry, ordering wine, eating well, and letting Milan unfold before you, especially if you get a table near Navigli.
Fast, friendly, and straightforward service. You come here to eat well, not to be sold a bill of goods.
