We chose Trattoria della Pesa on the recommendation of friends. The staff was accommodating regarding reservations. As soon as we sat down, we were brought delicious off-menu fried meatballs. For starters, we tried the chef of the day's pappardelle (good and light). For main courses, we opted for the veal cutlet and sautéed rice with lamb kidneys. The former is a classic, the latter a discovery (despite not being a fan of animal offal). For dessert, we tried the cold zabaglione (absolutely delicious, perhaps less so than the raspberries) and the lemon and mandarin sorbet (very good).

Overrated for the quality of the food. However, it is frequented by cultural figures.

A typical Milanese trattoria
You can feel the history of Milan through both the dishes and the atmosphere.
Truly excellent traditional food.

A historic trattoria where time seems to have stood still. Very elegant and refined, the restaurant serves traditional dishes prepared with simplicity and faithfulness to tradition. Here you can find the flavors of yesteryear, unchanged; the carpione quail, the sautéed rice, and the zuppa inglese are all delicious.

Antica Trattoria della Pesa il gusto della tradizione.
Il risotto giallo è mantecato alla perfezione: creamy, chicco al dente, zafferano vero che profuma già quando arriva al tavolo. L’ossobuco si taglia con la forketta, tenerissimo, e il midollo… beh, quello è sacro. Ho scavato fino all'ultima goccia.
Abbinato a un calice di Monsupello rosso: tannino morbido, fruttato, regge benissimo il sugo senza coprire lo zafferano.
Mise en place perfetta, tovaglia bianca, servizio attento ma senza fretta.
Conto giusto per quello che ti portano.
Se venite qui, questo piatto è obbligatorio.

El risotto amarillo is buttered to perfection: creamy, with al dente grain, and authentic azafrán que ya se huele cuando llega a la mesa. The ossobuco is cut with a fork, very tender, and the marrow… well, that’s sacred. I ate it until the last drop.
Paired with a glass of Monsupello red: soft, fruity tannins, it holds the sauce very well without covering the saffron.
Perfect setting, white tablecloth, attentive but unhurried service.
The bill is just for what they serve.
If you come here, this dish is a must.

Antica Trattoria della Pesa, the taste of tradition.
The yellow risotto is made to perfection: creamy, with the grain al dente, and the real yolk that smells musky as soon as it reaches the table. The ossobuco is cut with a fork, incredibly tender, and the marrow… well, that’s sacred. I ate it until the last drop.
Accompanied by a glass of red Monsupello: soft tannin, fruity, supports the sauce very well without covering the yolk.
The mise en place perfect, white tablecloth, service attentive but not rushed.
The bill fair for what they offer you.
If you come here, this dish is a must.

This is an old trattoria, found thanks to the publicity they've received. The staff is friendly, the food average. It's definitely not worth the money they ask.

The quality was ok but not for that price! It’s a bit expensive, the atmosphere was nice, the service was ok, but in general everything was average, so for what you pay, you don’t get a special quality or even service! We were a bit disappointed honestly 🤷🏻♀️
